Yesterday, I took a “my brain is breaking” day. I had fallen asleep with a migraine, 6p on Thursday night. Slept until 4a, then fell asleep again during HAI/PRC match. So, I put on my “out of office” work e-mail greeting.
It was all going well until like 5p when I got a barrage of TEXTS about a most-annoying work matter. If I go on a killing spree, remember that Hippo was here with y’all the entire time.
Pic is what my kid brought back for me from Austria (along with a “The Three Lives of a Polish Jew” book she got at the Holocaust Museum, which is a whole different vibe). I am a state-official cat dad! Huzzah, indeed. Double grandpa too, as of last night (Wolven Legacy child has added a new kitten to the mix, LONG STORY).
Below is my favoUrite song on the (satellite) radio right now. Killer “Cracker in their prime” vibes, at least to my ears. I ain’t got enough brain cells to do a Donks WOO! preview just yet, but will join Balls and Litre for Prem Pickkakke next Saturday. Set your muthafuckin’ alarms!
Bears’ Darnell Wright crushes OL conditioning test after accidentally following WR offseason running program – CBSSports.com
I’m both impressed by his athleticism but concerned by his inability to read the words “Wide” and “Receiver” or know the difference between “OL” and “WR”.
25 hours until the kid and wife return. I’m not feeling like”putting the house back together”.
Oh boy. Went to Lady Maestro’s cousin’s 30th birthday party out in the bush this afternoon, and I think I’ve had my drinking quota for the day filled already. This is a problem, particularly considering that this is only the first of two CFL games on today.
/Turns on TV. Looks at channel guide
WOOOOOO!! Canadiens footy is on!!
// Sees Toronto is killing Saskatchewan
Let’s see what else is on…
Merde!
An apocalyptic thunderstorm is blowing through D.C. right now, and its dark as night with gale force gusts and sheets of rain and massive lightning bolts and its pretty cool (if you’re inside and not a dog).
in an hour its supposed to be sunny and clear.
Happy 70th birthday to Canadian legend Geddy Lee!
also happy 23rd to my daughter I guess
Awesome! Pics?
Yeah, has he not seen Geddy?
I have not! Thanks WCS!
First of two sets of thunderstorms rolling through. This one is making it even more humid. The second set is supposed to drop the temperatures 25-30 degrees, so hopefully it can do that without dropping any trees on my house or cars.
LOS ANGELES: [is 90 degrees]
DR. MRS. DEADLY, ESQ.: [insists on making the bed the instant the dryer finishes, then irons the sheets]
How many vacuums does ironing require?
We hit 78 but it’s one humid motherfucker.
The walk was incredible but sweat was featured prominently.
I want to come to RTD’s house and hide one cookie crumb somewhere in the house. She won’t know where it is, but she’ll know that there is a disturbance in the Force. The ensuing chaos will be legendary.
Meanwhile, in Little League:

There’s no mercy rule?
If the coach did not let every kid on the roster play… poor form. Also c’mon umps call it at a 20 run or so lead half way through.
That was the mercy rule: the game stopped after 4 innings.
The US only had 24 hits, and NZ made 5 errors, meaning that NZ pitchers walked everybody. The box score showed 30 runs in the 3rd, and only 9 in the 4th, so I suspect the US coach told them “you swing at everything” to start the last inning.
Those poor Kiwi Kids out there tryna throw strikes with their feet, smgdh.
I’m glad America is back to crushing our opponents in competition. Makes me feel good about the future.
Like Oppenheimer said, “we gotta show these island n-words our power at the plate so we don’t have to show them on the battlefield.”
Frank Thomas doing low-t commercials is a national security failure.
Just came back from a friend’s wake. Died at 51. And here’s Jerry Jones, upright and talking on my TV.
There is no God.
I am sorry for your loss.
Thanks. We coached little league way back when. Didn’t run in the same circles since but he was a good guy and raised some pretty good kids.
They also buried him in a sweatshirt instead of a suit. I thought it was a superb touch. Who the hell wants to spend eternity in a suit?
Damn. Sorry man. That’s way too young.
Yeah, thumb surgery on Monday. You know it’s going to be raining oxy around here!
Is it the whacking hand?
Indeed it is. Changes are afoot.
“Oxy and The Stranger”

Ayo’s got a new girlfriend, Lefty!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Surgeon’s assistant said he likes to send patients home with a few oxy. No need for the pharmacy.
No wonder he’s so highly rated.
Has Hippo hit you up for a referral?
Cooking a 4 course meal tonight. Started already after working 6 am 0 3 then 430 til 1 am. I am too old for this shit.
But! My barber is back from 2 months in Lebanon. It’s haircut day!
The best part about cutting my own hair is that I can do it on my own schedule and it doesn’t cost any money.
The worst part is that sometimes I don’t do a very good job.
Turns out Wisconsin is cold even in summer
Goddamn.
Rude!
Another hawt one today. The tan is kickin people. And another potential hail storm tonight. Just takin that bad with the good.
It pouring rain here and like 17C, but will take that over hail
Sounds like it’s been an odd summer in a lot of places.
One might even say a cruel one…

My parents’ cars got absolutely fucked up by the hail in town yesterday. Lady Maestro’s car has a few dings… but nothing on mine. Storm completely missed my house. Think it’s probably time to buy stock in Enron now.
Ain’t no party like an ice milk party ’cause the ice milk party just don’t stop!
I trolled the pretty tellers at the bank the other day. Walked in with my dork flag flying and hit them with the “is it hot enough for you” line. Good sports we had a nice laugh.
Those spoons, man. They give me that feeling that’s…I don’t know, it’s like the opposite of frisson.
I am absolutely chuffed to learn that Deutchland has their own large industry devoted to cat stuff!
oh wow, that is something else!!
That’s a hell of a goal from France, but I am beyond annoyed at the announcers failing to point out that the French gave great head in the box.
“Her ability in and around the box….”
Waiting for a locksmith outside condo to commemorate the biennal “My keys?! FAAAAAAAAAAAACK ah!”
Unrelated: drugs bad
You been munching on the Devil’s Lettuce, or have you graduated to needle-spoony time? 😀
Neddle-spoony is earmarked for after my second Kubiak
goals are well important!
Seems more like a “locks are bad” thing.
Man, I *wish* I could blame drugs for my declining mental faculties.

Guess I know who the Cornblower household will be rooting for going forward.
If I were 20 years younger I’d declare Emily Cedeño (#7 on Panamá) as my new soccer girlfriend.
[notices the braces]
Scratch that, make it 25 years younger.
Don’t shame yourself, Rikki. As the old saying goes: “If there’s grass on the field – Play Ball”
If there is grass on the wicket play cricket!
How is that not a handball?
Oh, Frozen was a half-second away from being a Panamanian legend.
Panama gots a white bitch (from Meeechigan, so XTRA WHITE) on their team, and her teammates call her Frozen. Hippo is amused.
That’s outstanding.
She’s certainly looks like an Elsa
Degrees from BOTH South Cakalaky and Roll Damn Tide so you KNOW she’s a real thinker, too.
A pale white woman from Michigan with time spent in SC and ‘Bama?
How many militias is she in?
