Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
Try again, fail again. Fail better [in bed]”.
Samuel Beckett
This sounds like a nap that was interrupted.
Not really sorry about all the sub jokes included this week.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Heading out for a bit, so I’ll close with George Stanley Halas, father of DA BEARS

Guys, if you have an opportunity to spend $250k to take a homemade tube down to see the Titanic, my advice would be, DO IT. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THIS SHIT HAPPENS TWICE?

How long till James Cameron does a movie about searching for the people lost while sightseeing the Titanic. Also, I need to see a headline “Titanic Claims More Lives”.

Sounds great! However, anyone can fight in a fucking cage. These guys really need to think “outside the octagon” and stage their fight somewhere really epic
…. like in a submersible at the bottom of the Atlantic, fer example
“After Elon Musk recently tweeted that he would be “up for a cage fight” with Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO shot back by posting a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me location.”
I’ve confirmed that Zuckerberg’s post on his Instagram account is, in fact, not a joke, which means the ball is now in Musk’s court. “The story speaks for itself,” Meta spokesperson Iska Saric told me.”

This would be a comically bad fight. Two guys who will pay an enormous amount for training, then get into the ring and instantly forget everything they were taught, just winging wild ass “punches” at each other and gassing completely by the 2 minute mark.

Mid growing season update. Two things I do around this time. Start tieing plants off to poles as they get top heavy. And put up a hail protection net. We get some wicked sporadic but strong hail storms during the summer. The net also fucks with the birds who will start showing up in ernest when your veggies turn bright colors. Right now about 6 weeks in I have been getting (for a couple weeks at this point) strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini, parsley, sage, chives and rosemary. Peppers, eggplant and tomatos have a bit to go. The mild peppers are ready this week.

I signed up for Post when the Muskbucket destroyed Twatter. It’s ok, but I don’t love it yet. How is this Bluesky thingie?
I’d like to tty it, but I think you need an invite, and I don’t know anyone that cool.
Agree, so far the Post is meh.
It’s OK, much lower key. I was given an invite by someone already on there, but I’m not cool enough to have that ability yet.
“Hey, this site’s kinda neat – thanks for the invite!”
“Sure thing, and if you could just loosen my restraints…”
“Talking time is done.” (slams tiny cage door)
“Talking time is done” is absolutely killing me.

“It looks really raw for Belarus that Belarus will now now host no less than an army of mercenaries, of cutthroats, who are very well trained, who are ruthless, who are effective in killing, who have been implicated in war crimes,” Kavaleuski told The Daily Beast. “On all counts, this is really bad news. This creates grave threats to the Belarusian society.”

“Well ain’t that just a bitch. Our hearts are really bleeding for ya. Let us know where we can send the sympathy card.”
-The Ukrainians
Yeah, basically the master plan is for Pierogi to take over Belarus and fold it into Russia. Not gonna happen because I think it will fail, but I think that’s what he was promised.
Alls I know is if there was a Deadpool for this type of thing, it would be difficult to choose between those three. The Vegas odds on there being a death before the end of the year must be even money.
I’m pretty sure there is no “master plan”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPPi2D6GK7A
Stuff I read was that Pierogi would get to keep Belarus after the current leader falls out a window/drinks polonium tea/whatever. Putin gets to keep his job, and Pierogi gets to do some next-level corruption when he gets his very own country.
Yup. That’s my thought.
There is no way that Putin would allow Pregozin to have his own country and own military right next door to Russia. I suppose it’s possible that promise was made to get him to stop marching on Moscow, but if it was it’s only a prelude to Pregozin going out an upper-story window somewhere in Minsk.
Has Pierogi been seen since leaving Russia? I just assumed he’s dead and stuffed in the trunk of a Trabant.
He’s donned a disguise and gone into hiding as a jogging fanatic.
IANA Eastern European expert; I can just about find the Ukraine on a map. But I thought it was kind of what you said. “Settle down, and you can have Belarus when Comrade X passes away. Or you can keep this shit up and I wipe out everybody you know that I can get to, from your wife down to your dogsitter, whether or not you win.”
Exactly
