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:
In order to learn the most important lessons in life, one must each day surmount a fear [in bed].
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Surmounting a new fear each day in bed, sounds exhausting. I’d need a nap for my nap.
This is also my 200th post. Not sure that when I asked to write here that I thought I’d have this many posts, like, evar, but here we are. Still can’t write for shit, and hide behind the comments post, but it makes me feel like I contribute to the #content and the site in general. And strangely enough it was 5 years, ago, almost to the day.
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.
Went shopping with my girlfriend this morning and she bought a new vacuum. Now she’s vacuuming my place.

Yesterday I went to get stuff for strawberry pies to take to the Labor Day cookout with our nabes at the pool. I forgot to get Coil Whip, like a fucking savage.

The Stadium of the Fuuuutuuuuure! Bullshit. There is no fucking way Jacksonville can/will pony up the bajillions that would cost. They will fight it out for a few years, to make it look good, and then Khan will “regretfully” announce that he has no choice but to move the franchise to London, as he intended all along.

Boy, all those people with fake ownership stock certificates are going to be really upset that “their” team isn’t doing so well and then they find out that they can’t actually do anything about it.

I saw yesterday that Peter King was picking them as the 7 seed going into the playoffs at 9 and 8. He had the Lions and Vikings in there too. That struck me as odd. Great preview Sir. I am with you on this. A rebuild job.
Speaking of Jets. How cool is this from my Zoomie friends. It’s not a photo it’s a mosaic.

Found a funny for all you lawyers
A lawyer dies and goes before St. Peter at the pearly gates. While St. Peter is looking through the book of life at his record the lawyer speaks up.
“Um, I think there’s been a mistake and I shouldn’t be here. I’m only 38 years old.”
“Really? Because according to this book you’re 107 years old.”
“What? That can’t be. That’s just ridiculous. How did you come by that number?”
“We used the hours you billed.”
Mr. Ayo
…others will scythe end justifies…
I assume you meant “say” but the fact that your autocorrect went with this choice leaves me with a few questions about what you spend the rest of your time…you know what? It’s your business. I don’t want you thinking of me as some kind of “loose end” or something.

Man, the editors around here are terrible. Be a shame if something happened to them.

Cow Alert News Which Is Only Of Interest To Horatio-
Where I live there are several Mennonite farms. Last Thursday morning I crested a blind corner and hit the brakes because Bessie was right in the middle of the road. What I’m trying to say is that cows have figured out how to be “run over” by vehicles for insurance money.

I have my pub’s regular’s party today. This year’s theme is enchanted forest. Did I go to the Dollar Store and buy all sorts of vines, fronds and the like? Yes I did. Will I have to ride the train downtown dressed like a male Poison Ivy? Yes I will.
It is a closed door event, 250 people, drinks are a twonie ($2CAD) each. It goes from noon to 6 pm, when they usher the regulars out and throw them in cabs.
It took me 7 years to get on this list as it is one of the best parties in the city. People try to sneak in and get rebuffed. Speaking of rebuffed! The buffet is amazing. The year they did a boat theme it was a seafood extravaganza.
2 Guinness and 3 Jamesons, 10 CAD when normally it would be 40 CAD. Yes please.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Jesus, WordPress is really going to shit. I can’t even like comments now.
And I got the same stupid nonce error.
On mobile I have to hit the +1twice for it to register.

.. WAIT.. ARodg’s Achilles really got fucked after 4 snaps? I’m not one to believe in curses, but, uhhh, perhaps exorcising the Jets locker room (and MetLife in general) may be perhaps a good idea…
Did you hurt the feelings of another officer today?
Nah, I was on my best behaviour (since I know what sort of performance bonus I’m getting for that) in both my day job and the side gig. Unfortunately, dealing with people that are making decisions in tech quite often not only don’t have the background to understand the minutiae and implications of the stuff being negotiated, but to actually be actively bored by the subject matter, so it takes effort (and blood pressure spikes) to get through certain “very speshul” people. On the plus side, after dealing with similar for my side gig, I’m going to spend my Thursday and Friday doing live fire exercises with a lot of fun shit, to illustrate how some assumptions are not only wrong, but hilariously wrong. (ie that jamming SACLOS anti-tank missiles means that those suddenly become unusable… since apparently the guy that wrote the assesment for the Metis and Konkurs didn’t realize those have manual backups :D)
Also, I found a new WP bug. If I type for two long, I get a “invalid nonce” error 😀
bk is actually Jay Cutler.
Not really, but he’s currently my spirit animal as I had to split my day so far between my day job and thus being forced to deal with a particular kind of “speshul” people, before switching to my side gig, where I dealt with people that’d gain IQ points if they get put under a medically-induced coma. Plus, he smoked cigarettes, I don’t.. Though I’d love a cigar right about now
Dearest Mother,
I have received a most startling telegraph this morn, it is a call, nay, a cry for my return to the colors and to once more take up arms upon that most desolate battlefield known as the grid-iron. My constitution wanes and yet I feel the pull of that siren song that echoes down the ages.
Jay Eee Tea Ess. How that infernal cry haunts me.
Yours,
I may go on radio silence this week. It’s a big one.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE BIG INCESTFEST!
We’ll always have the Jets!

I didn’t see a single Wisconsin Dolly in a Jordyn Nelson jersey in there. Things have really changed back in the ole (very nearly forgotten) state of my birth.
I think I’ll get to that bar for next week’s game against Dallas.
Lowratio’s red hat is really cute
He stores it in his hurt locker
Perhaps its recency bias, but this collection shows the Clubhouse was ready for the season to start.
A full slate for sure.
Nothing is ever beating Fronk’s banner. Ever.
I thought my brief banner was good, but Fronk eclipsed that, and I’m not mad in the least.
