Saturday Night Open Thread – The June Gloom Edition part trois

It just dawned on me that I was supposed to be writing tonight’s Open Thread. AGAIN!

WOOPS!

Fuck me in the goat ass. I swear one of these weeks I’ll remember and prepare.

Things to discuss:

I played golf in the rain AGAIN on Thursday. I didn’t do as well as the last time. I have a charity golf tournament on Monday where I plan to grab all the free shit I can get and drink copious amounts of alcohol.

Wish me luck.

The México-USA game this week was pretty fun, wasn’t it? All I have to say is that Canada better win on Sunday. If they don’t, I don’t think they’ll ever win anything.

A lot of Euro Qualifying games were on today. Hope you watched some on replay. I’m currently watching Scotland-Norway. I should order some haggis for dinner. Does anyone know a good haggis place in LA? Dunstan?

I’m very excited about the Women’s World Cup in Australia this year! Thank you to all of you that have volunteered to write team previews! Anyone interested please let me know in the comments.

I want to congratulate BFC on his Giants. They have really turned the season around and have a decent chance to make finals. Plus, you kept Fremantle below Geelong in the standings, so good on ya mate!

Enjoy the arvo!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

yeah right

Great phone conversations tonight. Talked to godson and his mom who is, omitting family obviously, one of my best friends ever. We go back 40 years.

After our crazy ass days she manifested into a palliative nurse.

Three out of five days a week she holds the hand of people who are going on.

To the next step.

On her vacation, she volunteers for summer camps for kids whose parents maybe weren’t supposed to be shepherd on just yet.

She’s amazing. And so good at her job.

Gave me a different look on life.

Brick Meathook

My late younger brother Jimmy was also a palliative nurse. He was loved by his clients, all of whom were dying; Jimmy took care of them. One client left him a beautiful Cadillac before he died.

yeah right

Being good at this is empathy and just listening.

So many people die without any family around them.

A calm caring person just holding your hand.

Who could ask for more?

Brick Meathook

Today I booked a flight back east, and on the return leg I’m staying overnight with two full days in Detroit to see the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the River Rouge plant.

yeah right

You should take some Elmore Leonard for the flight.

Brick Meathook

I’m going to take some opiates with alcohol. It makes the plane go faster.

yeah right

I’m still trying to process an international flight that’s 23 hours including time change.

Doktor Zymm

Weird stuff happens with time changes. I’ve flown from Asia and arrived before I left because of the date line

Brick Meathook

I once got drunk in San Francisco on a Sunday and then woke up in China on a Wednesday . True story.

That dude’s got some big tits. I suppose this is what all the kids like nowadays.

WCS

The Ford Museum is bitchin’.

Brick Meathook

Here’s picture of the inside of a tunnel I was driving through at the time. If this was a Fellini film this would represent sex of some kind or another. To me it’s just a road tunnel.

Brick Meathook

$20 cash to anyone who can identify the tunnel. I’ll give it to you too.

Hint: it’s in Southern California

P.S. That’s US $20

P.P.S. You only get one guess each. Make it count.

yeah right

Hill street Bridge near the Dorothy Chandler pavilion.

Brick Meathook

nope

yeah right

Dammit

Brick Meathook

We have a winner. I owe balls $20 at his earliest convenience.

Brick Meathook

Any time!

What is the undercarriage of your mother, Trebek?

Huggy Bear is officially out. Some pretty big mumus to fill.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Out” as in “unconscious”?

Brick Meathook

I drove this road today

2Pack

It was all yours too.

Brick Meathook

I warned them to stay away from me (via bashing into other cars left and right) and goddamit they did. Even the Highway patrol stayed away from me, and wisely so. Ponch and Johnny would have been goopy stains on a bridge abutment, and nobody wants to see that, so I just went home undisturbed. God bless you all.

Happy Father’s day to all of the Dad’s livin the thug life.

I come from THE STREET yo, and I likes to think I can still kick it.

Doktor Zymm

I used to come from a street, but now I live on an avenue

King Hippo

because YOU FANCY!

Gumbygirl

I’ve lived on pretty much all of them. Street, Avenue, Road, Court, Drive, Way…

Brick Meathook

Have you ever lived on a street? Oh wait you said that first, my mistake.

Here’s the main command center in my studio. Whether I’m crafting extraordinary VFX shots for the latest Hollywood blockbuster thriller or making hilarious posts on obscure dick-joke websites with maybe twenty viewers, this is where the magic happens.

My work has been praised everywhere from U.S. Naval Proceedings to The Journal of the American Medical Association to Modern American Lesbian: everyone enjoys my unique and witty takes on everything. This of course includes you. Subscribe today. May Christ’s love be with you. Now blow me give me money. (/edited)

Is that a Navy mug with Dolphins? Gumby has one from the Nebraska. They were the commissioning crew, got all kinds of swag.

King Hippo

wait, Brick is George F. Kennan??

Brick Meathook

thinkin’ and doin’ are two different things

Gumbygirl

Those are cool. He was on one of the 41 too.

Brick Meathook

I’ll sell him my mug for a hundred dollars. God bless our veterans.

Brick Meathook

Balls, for an extra two dollars I can get you a subscription to Modern Ukrainian Big-Tit Lesbian magazine (print and digital), normally only available through specific NATO channels.

Brick Meathook

Balls, if you’re in a buying mood, I’ve also got a source for Modern European Gigantic Ass magazine, which is still published quarterly with the best photography on the finest glossy color print stock. This is hard to get, but I can arrange it for you for an extra three dollars.

Brick Meathook

That’s an extra dollar, but yeah I can do that

Doktor Zymm

I hear they have a guide to different flannel tartans this month

Brick Meathook

Outstanding buyers guide to Subarus

Don T

Quite a party at the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. Not like this under Spain, surely
comment image

Doktor Zymm

I think Spain mostly just tortured people and built giant fuckoff churches back then. This party with what looks like maybe the holy grail seems way more fun

Look away from the Ark

The strawberries have been great this past month.

Doktor Zymm

One of the women I ride horses with brought a bunch of cherries to the barn today since they have a ton on a tree. They are delicious and there will probably be more on Monday. So much good fruit in season right now

Don T

Pineapple and mangoes 🥰

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Free fruit! We will be buying all kinds of fruit tomorrow morning. Apricots, plums, peaches, and mangoes.

Gumbygirl

Ginormous berries now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[glances down]

Well I’m not sure I’m comfortable with the Dr. Mrs. sharing those kinds of details, but…thank you.

2Pack

Over the past 10 years a number of the dairy farms along my local run routes have turned in the cows and converted to horse stables. It’s a growing and popular past time.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Watching a Korean medical drama…

comment image

Doktor Zymm

Maybe watch something else then? Or figure out fun places where the writers could add tentacles next time?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This was not a program that was selected by me. If I had my way we’d be watching Benny Hill reruns.

Doktor Zymm

The tentacle game would be really easy with Benny Hill

BrettFavresColonoscopy

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

That was an ass kicking, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Just think what that team can do if healthy.

King Hippo

I don’t suppose he talkin’ ’bout the #BFIB ,, smgdh

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The second worst team in the National League? Why would I bother talking about them?

WCS

When does the SoCal DFO contingent run through LA Country Club with NFL and AFL scarves wrapped around their ding-dongs? I’ve been waiting all day…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Probably because now that they own the PGA, the Saudi royal family would have us sliced up with box cutters and throw us overboard in the Pacific to be eaten by sharks.

Gumbygirl

Professional golf is dead to me now. Not that I ever paid much attention in the first place. Hey, the Firebirds are tied with those Hershey Bears at the end of regulation. The local Palm Springs tv guy just interviewed two of the Firebirds’ girlfriends, lol. They look young enough to be on a milk carton. Whoever wins this one goes up 3 games to 2, and game 6&7 back here.

Mr. Ayo

3 regulation shut outs and down 3-2. We’re on to CV!
