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:
It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone [in bed].
Rose Kennedy
So you’ll get to relive this stuff again and again in dreams.
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.
Let’s not forget the MVP, pork butt.

Every once in a while I will come across a sex scene in a hay loft, or otherwise involving naked people placing their bare skin on hay. These people are crazy, deluded, or ignorant. Hay is incredibly unpleasant, it is itchy, dusty, and prickly. Most people I know who handle hay on a regular basis prefer to wear long sleeves and gloves in the middle of a heat wave to exposing skin to hay. It’s awful stuff and if you ever have the opportunity to have sex in hay, RUN

It’s so delightful that Snyder’s favorite toy was taken away from him and he will never, ever get it back.

You are welcome, maybe by the next off season I will have finally started to paint my figures and can post pics.

I feel like Gumby buying tickets to The Cult instead of The Cure is going to be the Buttfumble of DFO.

The day started with a text from my soon to be taking over my job guy saying “I’m sick and sorry for the late notice but I can’t make it.”
This was instantaneously followed up by my day shift lead, my Number 1, saying I just got hit on my bike and I’m going to the hospital.
It was crazier than that. Number one, rides a motorcycle on the LA freeways and he’s already old enough to retire. Plus the text was a talk to text that didn’t even sound like him.
He called hours later and he rear ended a car that panicked stopped in front of him at full speed while he was driving to work on the 105.
He’s busted up but he called me and he’s got broken ribs, dislocated elbow and that’s all I got because the phone connection was fucked. He did say that there was a car behind him that swerved or he would have been run over.
Motherfucker is 65 and should be retired and he’s still riding to work on a bike?
Shit, I’m driving an armored tank if I’m that close to retirement.
He’ll be ok. Tomorrow is gonna hurt like a bastard.
Put a lot of things in perspective.
I ran the shop solo for 11 hours.
Glad he’s OK.
yeah right
Wife and i are like, “… mmmmmaybe we’ll just look around at maybe other places since Maui caught fire.”

Wife: There a law for Americans buying property to Canada? I’m looking up north where there is water. Where are you looking?
Me: Oh. I’m just looking at the neighboring islands.

Along with “serving size: 9 chips,” “test smoke detector weekly” might be the least followed instructions in the universe.

Sorry for your loss. That’s exactly why I was extra pissed when a coworker was being lackadaisical with his Covid exposure (went to work with symptoms, not wearing a mask even when taking the test, thought boss was joking when he was told to GTFO).
I get COVID, I spend one week in my room watching TV. My dad with ALS gets COVID, his progrosis of “couple of years” gets changed to “couple of months”.
Not to mention that with me on the DL, my elderly mother has to take sole care of him, plus every time I hear him call or hear what sounds like him falling, I take a step before stopping and remembering “Oh, yeah. I can’t go out there. I could kill them.”

Apparently, AI is not waiting until Skynet is fully implemented to start killing all humans.
“A New Zealand supermarket experimenting with using AI to generate meal plans has seen its app produce some unusual dishes.
One recipe it dubbed “aromatic water mix” would create chlorine gas. The bot recommends the recipe as “the perfect nonalcoholic beverage to quench your thirst and refresh your senses”. “Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing fragrance,” it says, but does not note that inhaling chlorine gas can cause lung damage or death.
New Zealand political commentator Liam Hehir posted the “recipe” to Twitter, prompting other New Zealanders to experiment and share their results to social media. Recommendations included a bleach “fresh breath” mocktail, ant-poison and glue sandwiches, “bleach-infused rice surprise” and “methanol bliss” – a kind of turpentine-flavoured french toast.”

Son had a buddy bail on him after promising to help him move to a place 7/8 hours away for school. I stepped in and I await my induction into the Dad Hall of Fame.

In their defense, if Atlanta had scored seven more runs, the Mets would be guaranteed to win it in the bottom of the 9th.

I’ve told some hard and ugly taxi stories from my younger days.
Isn’t it time for a good story?
This is a Balls post so I’ve got that going for me.
My second cab driving stint was in San Diego and I was a busy motherfucker on Friday and Saturday nights.
There was this totally nude, non alcohol bar called Les Girls?
Sexy right?
Dudes get in my cab and ask to go to Les’s Girls.
A’ight, I know the way.
Anyway.
I do this shit 5-6 times and I realize…
I’m gonna give them my business card and asked them to tell the people inside that I brought them here.
Long story short: eventually it turned out when I brought a fare here, I would park my cab, walk into the club with my fare and I would have a smoking hot, completely naked girl hand me a 20 dollar bill and give me a hug.
Plus I never paid the cover on my days off.
That’s a good damn taxi story.
yeah right
This O’Connell kid may be fucking legit for the Raiders. Couple of really nice drives.

Buddy Cole pretty much blasted Franco Wander repeatedly last night (well done, sir).
However, I noticed this coincidence that I didn’t see in the comments:
“Franco was not in the lineup Sunday despite a Wander Franco Snapback Hat giveaway for kids 14 and under.”

Often, I have a little smart assed comment to preface interesting news articles. In this case, Res Ipsa Loquitur:
“Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said Robert Dell, a pastor at Pinellas County’s The Rock Church and founder of a halfway house for those recovering from drug addiction in St. Petersburg, was arrested for operating a multimillion-dollar theft ring.
Officials said Robert threatened abuse and “used the positions of being a pastor and founder of a halfway house to manipulate other vulnerable people” into committing the crimes.
They believe that Robert was operating the scheme for over 10 years, bringing the total loss of merchandise to over $5 million. It was then sold on eBay under the account “Anointed Liquidator,” officials added.”
Organized “religion” is the bane of human existence.
Pretty much. I see it and organized crime as two sides of the same coin.
Hope he gets ” anointed” in hell with boiling oil. Scumbag.
… from a nouveau Irish’s POV – “Well, at least he’s not a kiddie diddler”
He probably is, just hasn’t been caught yet.
We have the only yard guy in the world who doesn’t have a lawn mower. Not even kidding. He says we’re his only customers who have grass, everyone else has desert landscaping. Ok, whatever, he’s a nice kid, and the people who owned our house left an electric mower in the garage he could use.It died, so we decided to buy a cheap new one. We saw some from companies you’ve heard of, like Black and Decker.Gumby fired up the Amazon, and bought one from some company I’ve never heard of. God knows what we’re going to end up with,if anything, but at least the Heathen Chinee have our credit card number. I need to get in his phone and cancel Amazon Prime. He cannot be trusted!
How much lawn do you have? I used to have one of these types and it was all I needed.
It’s pretty small, about the size of a sandtrap on a golf course.
If it’s anything like the Cure Cult tickets, the “lawn mower” may show up as a loud motor.
Lone moper.
If its Amazon and a Chinese company, you may get a Uyghur in a box with dull scissors.
He’s in luck, I have a knife sharpener! He can Uygh out in the garage, as long as he cleans it up and takes care of the lawn so the HOA doesn’t get stroppy.
Black and Decker’s Chinese now too and not really a brand one would want anymore I’m affraid 🙁 . While Stanley Tools is still ostensibly American, the actual tools are now mostly farmed out to Chinese OEMs and it shows. I’d have recommended Makita since I’m yet to get a dud from them, but maybe the Chinesium Gumby ordered will be fine-ish 😀
As for impulse control – you should count yourself lucky that he’s impulsive/thrifty on a budget 🙂
