I guess my law firm must HATE TEH TROOPZ because we get neither Friday nor Monday off. But that’s ok, I do all my shit from home so we might just have lots of “client development” time entries. Y’all could be clients some day (well, the ones with the worst judgment), so TYPING THIS is client development time, ain’t it?
Happily, the bastard international break isn’t here quite yet. Wolves and Spurs (7:30, USA) for us early birds, with Spurs coming off playing Chelski with just 9 men. Reminds me of Sega Genesis days, when I would see how many fuckers I could get sent off. They’ll probably exact some revenge here, or maybe they fall apart. I dunno.
Men Untied home to Luton Town (USA) is your TV option for the 10:00 window. EtH lost 4-3 away to Copenhagen midweek, to move to bottom of their Shempions group. Just a little pressure at Old Trafford today. Palace/Everton and Arsenal/Burnley are streamable, for the masochists among us.
Stupid Geordie Arabia in the Spotlight Dance again (12:30, NBC), away to the Cherries. Hard. Pass.
Chelski host City of Men (11:30, USA) in the only reasonable Sunday action. I have nothing of substance to say, though.
Michigan (-4.5) at Paedo State (Noon, Fox)
Cheering for the child-molesting team is pretty nauseating, so I will likely give this one a pass. Eat all the shit, Lesser Harbs.
Alabama (-11) at Kenfucky (Noon, ESPN)
As the Tide continues to Damn Roll, I don’t exactly put this one on upset watch – but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Blue Moons make this a fight into Q4. Probably worth watching.
Texas Tech (+3.5) at Kansas (Noon, FS1)
Also intriguing, as Guns Up!! look to maybe derail a really special season for the Jayhawks. No value in the line for HAIL GAMBLOR, though.
Arizona (-10.5) at Colorado (2:00, PAC12)
Oof, there is indeed value in this line. But the Neon Deion Buffs might be all the way off the tracks, at this point. Never would have imagined Blax’ bunch being double digit road favoUrites, within the conference. My, how things have changed.
Utah (+9.5) at Washington (3:30, Fox)
The Puppies did manage to out the Troi Boiz down for good last weekend, which I appreciate. I think Penix would fit in nice and snug with the Donks WOO!! Plus, my favoUrite sweater pic is back.
Tennessee (-1) at Missouri (3:30, CBS)
2nd place in the SEC East at stake! Technically, the Vols could still catch UGA, if they win today and Johnny Reb trips up UGA later tonight. But I suspect neither of those events will come to fruition. Anyway, should be a fun game between two entertaining teams.
Those Oklahoma uniforms are so ugly the players won’t even put their own names on the back.
Spoken by the announcer of West Virginia at Oklahoma:
“There’s a lot of smart people here.”
I’m not going to sit here and be lied to like that. I’m gonna go do something else.

Okay, the Michigan Acting HC needs to throttle back the tears and dedication to Harbaugh. He’s only suspended.

Well…
I don’t think Team Secular Big Love is gonna BOW DOWN, Ayo. You best have a word with ’em.
2nd half team. No worries.
If we stopped having wars, we’d eventually run out of veterans, and then we’d no longer get the day off. You better watch it, Canada.
You guys would come across in tshirts and loafers and retreat, crying and whining after the first morning frost.
That’s why we lost in Vietnam. We were doing great until the frost came.
Bullshit. Nukes don’t get guns. Not real ones, anyway!
It’s metaphorical. We had nuclear weapons; we didn’t need guns.
Blax: Is veteran. Is good at being American.
Veterans Day: is Saturday.

ur a regular JJ WATT, don’t forget your free pancakes (wheat extra) for lunch!
And yet, USAA keeps ghosting Gronk…
Free Bloomin’ Onion at Outback Steak House (while supplies last)
At Dunkin’ Donuts you get a free donut, but no coffee (Boo I say!)
At Krispy Kreme you get a free donut and a coffee (that’s supporting the troops!)
If they run out, just give them one from your belt!
Just saying — the Chinese aren’t taking off today to be fat.
Kansas-GUNSUP has been… “good” is too generous…interesting?
Mildly chaotic
Guess who’s phone broke and didn’t have anything backed up?
This guy. I wonder how long I can last without one. The Mrs. is already looking for one as she doesn’t want to be my messenger.
Eh, if it was important enough for someone to call, they’d send a telegram.
they may still use Pony Express up thar
So just cracking the screen wasn’t enough?
Nope, she fritzed out this morning! Said enough is enough!
Get a z flip
Fucking beautiful win!!!
y’all did it FOAR humanity!
Team Bonesaw seem in danger of having some parts removed if they don’t step their shit up against the Cherries.
It’s fucking glorious!
This is hilarious. Hope House yeah right is celebrating appropriately.
It’s just one Bournemouth jailbreak after another.
Yep, and that should have been three.
That was a hell of a save.
Here’s a picture of the beach this morning. There must be a Santa Ana blowing offshore which pushes all that brown city air out to sea (95% of the time it flows opposite). Those waves are smaller than they look.
In hot college hoops ball action, the reigning and defending national men’s champions have emptied the bench as UConn escapes with a narrow 105-67ish win against Stonehill.
If you want an idea of how little anyone thinks of IU football, they have a lead at halftime, and they’re listed as only having 46% chance of winning
Chocolate eating dumbass dog survived the night, yay!
But how did the carpets do?
Can only imagine how many Peacock subscriptions got sold for this Maryland/Nebraska barnburner.
Here’s the moon this morning. I hate cameras.
How do you folks manage your music collections these days?
For the last five years or so, I’ve mostly been just listening to my (now well-trained) Pandora stations, or YouTube music if I want to pull up specific songs. But I’ve been missing out on just listening to entire albums.
The problem is that my collection is on CDs, and the hard drives of old laptops. I used to be able to use iTunes to move albums on and off my phone, but that doesn’t work any more. I don’t really want to start repurchasing stuff in digital form.
Is there a good app/service that will let me upload my CDs and then move them to, or stream them on, my devices?
I still have my travelling CD case for when I end up in a rental without SiriusXM. Otherwise, I just listen to that.
Apple Music (that replaced iTunes) still lets you use your own CD music in the cloud. It replaces your tracks with their versions but you don’t have to pay for it. You have to figure out how to do it, though.
I still take the time to rip the CDs I want onto a new computer, and youtube channels generally do fine.
Plex. You upload movies, TV shows, and songs to your server, then you can stream them to all of your devices. A spare desktop/laptop would make a perfectly adequate server – I was able to make a $50 external USB hard drive and a Raspberry Pi 3 work.
I have a Walkman (no shit) that I run with. Rip from my pretty big CD collection and put it on there changing the Playlist every now and then. It’s good on runs because the music is uninterrupted and clear, Playlist lasts me a few weeks. But traveling I use Utube or an internet station called The Eagle which plays classic rock.
1. Get separated
2. Text Ex + The Heiress “Anything left in the house is yours. Including CDs, yes”
3. Get AppleMusic
4. Get Spotify and quit Apple FOREVER because all my shit (bidness and social) was being monitored
5. Never ever EVAR miss the dust-collecting prowess of CDs
Have any of you ever heard the Cure’s Friday I’m in Love played on the steel drum? Because I have now, and I’m not sure my life is richer for the experience.
Jesus, he’s moved on to Basketcase and honestly this is impressive
I’m not impressed until they play the entirety of Rush’s “2112” or Tool’s “Disposition.”

He seems like a nice guy, except for the killing everybody part.
I have my doubts about him. I’ve been bombed away on heavy doses of many hallucinogens, but I’ve never had an inkling to kill someone, much less a plane load of them.
This sounds like a Hail Mary defense that his attorney came up with.
I know, right?. Mushrooms only ever made me laugh, not turn into a monster.
Oy vey, Kenfucky is NOT gonna make the Tide sweat. ah shoulda knowed better, PAAAAAAWWWWWLLLLLLLL
Just went to order a Wrexham Lager shirt for my father for Xmas. Shirt is $19.95, but in Euros.
Having it shipped to the US? Oh that’s another $28.95, but in Euros.
Hard pass on that.
Is “shirt” soccer talk for “jersey”? If so, try out dhgate, they seem to operate in a deliciously gray area.
No, jersey would be for the team, this is a shirt for the brewery.
But I’ll check out your suggestion. Just can’t see paying that much for a shirt to be put in a package and mailed to me. I also discovered that I might be able to get the actual beer at Aldi’s.
this is CORRECT, the English get REALLY testy when one says “jersey”
Oh the guys who couldn’t win WW2 without us get testy?
Fuck off Jaque, it’s America Veterans Day!
Gift him the JFK Jr workout tapes — he’ll never need another shirt.
I’m only seeing the scoreboard in the corner, but has Everton gone full plaid?

Damn sexy beach!
Looking forward to the sequal: Pounding Sand
No, they called it something else:
I’m not sure who the dumbest player in the Premier League is, but Ross Barkley has to be in the running.
What a beautiful sunny early Saturday morning in SoCal! I have actually been asleep for four days straight, and I mean that literally. I have no memory of Thursday. I came back from Vegas Tuesday morning with a scratchy throat that I knew was going to get worse before it got better, and it did. With the aid of super-strong OTC cough elixirs and over-doses of powerful prescription narcotics, I slept for four days straight and now I feel like a million bucks. Praise the Lord!
Thought, prayers, and dubious prescriptions solve everything.
Luton should be down 4-0, and the still might lose 4-0, but it’s somehow tied 0-0.
Arsenal struggling against Burnley after what could charitably be described as a tentative effort against Geordie Arabia is not filling me with joy at the prospects for the rest of the season.

All day outside doing yard work. Great day for it. Now I’m gonna watch it burn… until I get a bed of coals. Then I’ve been instructed to roast chestnuts for the ladies.
Here’s what free Denny’s Veteran’s Day pancakes look like, the kind they feed to heroes:
Now to get my free 12 oz coffee at Starbucks (the only time I’ll ever go to Starbucks):
I still have to have their coffee. I’ve been there three times but yet to decipher their code that is their menu.
Pike’s Roast with room for cream, I am sweet enough already.
That is my go to whenever I go (rarely)
They have great peppermint hot chocolate, (yes, I am a fancy lad. What of it?), but lately they’ve been getting pretty stingy with their portions. Cup filled at best 3/4 and then they go to the top with whipped cream. Which is not what I’m paying for.
Now, that was a mistake. Should have gone to Starbucks first, and brought it to breakfast, then Denny’s could only charge you for the wheat!
Denny’s really jacked me on that coffee. They obviously hate America.
Veterans have to pay for wheat?!
Where has our country gone wrong?
goddam libruls
I’m going to make pumpkin pancakes, the kind they serve to cowards.
Pumpkin pancakes are for hippies, cowards get French toast.
I am paying for my pancakes today, like a chickenhawk.

Hell of a gol by Wolfy.
And again, 2 in magic time!
It’s Veteran’s Day, where we solemnly thank me for my service.
I’m heading out to Denny’s to gets me a free waffle.
God Bless America.
Make sure every motherfucker in Denny’s STANDS when you are served, too.
Ok, Pardon my naivety but what the hell is going on here?
It’s an AI program called DALL-E that generates a completely synthetic image based on text input (that’s where all my Vegas distorted face pics came from). The text for these images asked for people saluting in a Denny’s restaurant.
Ok, I was VERY confused at the goings on at your local Denny’s.
Can’t tell if they know the answer or if they’re fascists.
That was my confusion

Yes.
Okay, that’s more prayer really. Nice to know AI found Jesus, but it’s still overwriting its code. That’s what is supposed to happen but not like this.
Gumby is going to have his service saluted by the cat.
…and when you leave, too.
God Bless America.
Thanks for your service Brick.
