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:
Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all [in bed].
Emily Dickinson
I’m usually hoping for a few more hours sleep, but have been told there’s other things one can hope for in bed.
Also, even tho I was out shopping on the weekend, I managed nawt to hear the LDB, so still in the challenge. I’m totes going to be out due to something dumb.
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.
Any serious Emo Carr would have to totally agree with Hippos spot on hawt takes.

Going into tonight I’m chasing 14 points with DJ Moore on my side vs Kmet on my opponent’s.

THAT INTERCEPTION BY JOSH DOBBS I CALL THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA BECAUSE IT WAS TORCHED ON ENTRY BY A FATEFUL BOUNCE
WCS
After hanging with Ayo on Thurs, we should have a PNWer DFO hangout, maybe in Seattle at a Mariners game or weekend of games when it’s warm weather. I’d also suggest Portland as a meetup, as I live about 1 mile north of the MODA Center, so a Blazers game could be a thing. Park around my house, walk to MODA while hitting the 3 bars inbetween.
ThePirateSloth
Banned for one week from the Ravens subreddit. I emailed the mods back and told them to go fuck themselves.

I really do not think Kenny Pickett is a bad QB. One thing that gets forgotten in all the “lack of offense” is that he hasn’t turned the ball over.
He holds the Steelers all-time record for consecutive throws without an interception. And he is adding to it every new throw.
That’s a big part of why they’re 7-4.
ballsofsteelandfury
The biggest part of why they’re 7-4 is because his average yards per attempt is 6.1-that’s ranks 35th in the league. Also, Tomlin is a high priest in the Santeria religion.

Rumor is Corey Perry is about to become best friends with Zach Wilson

So for people who actually follow hockey…
Did this really happen? Not like Richard Gere/gerbil fun rumours. Like…really?
SonOfSpam
It’s been declared 100% false by hockey knowing people, but no one knows anything so let’s start an even stranger rumor.
I heard Corey Perry was let go because he kept a guy in his basement stripped naked and tied to a chair wearing a Gritty head and did weird sexual stuff to him.

I heard Corey Perry was let go because he peed in the owner’s Malort bottle and no one could tell but a month later they found the security footage.

I always laugh a little when I remember how much draft capital and money NFL teams spent on Sam Bradford. He was the first pick in the draft and was the last rookie that got the huge payday. He played mediocre football for nine seasons and made $130M. He was traded for first round picks twice. According to pro football reference, his career was most similar to Wade Wilson.

Stole this:
==========================
Dear Arm & Hammer,
As your customer I would greatly appreciate in the future if you could affix warnings or perhaps bold letters depicting the words “MENTHOL” on the bottle of your “EXTRA STRENGTH PLUS” sinus rinse.
As a long time customer of your saline washes, I was left to assume that “EXTRA STRENGTH PLUS” referred to the sodium level in the saline spray. I stand corrected in my assumption. It actually means SPICY ACID BATH OF NOSTRIL LAVA.
This product set off an unexpected chain of events which led me to quite literally; shit my pants.
As with prior sinus rinses I inserted the nozzle into my nostril, tilted my head back, and began to spray the saline wash into my nose letting it work it’s way through my sinus canals. Suddenly, with a thunderous vengeance, the menthol activated. It felt like I had snorted pure wasabi. My whole head began to burn like a prostitute trying to enter the Vatican. I felt burning in places I had never felt sensations before. It was so hot, my third eye began to water. I can only describe it as my “inside face” had caught on fire. Meanwhile my teeth, armpits, and groin suddenly felt freezing cold. Parts of body began to tingle, as if my Spidey Sense was warning me that the worst was still yet to come.
This sudden combination of sensations prohibited me from leaning forward to let it drain from my nose into the sink. Instead, it began to run down the back of my throat sending me into an uncontrollable coughing fit, ultimately leading me to lose control of my rectal retention. Thus removing my ability to govern self control over my sphincter – which regrettably induced an episode of what I’d like to call “unexpected wet farts of despair.” I’d estimate, I coughed five times in total, whilst simultaneously farting each time. Each one sounding exactly like air escaping a balloons blow hole being pinched and spread apart. Crying out in a high pitched whine mimicking someone whispering the word “Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?” in a really really sad voice.
Take note Arm & Hammer: “Half blind, on fire, and shitting your pants,” were not mentioned in potential side effects. You may want to add that for legal purposes.
I implore your marketing and design department to have the word “VERY SPICY” printed on the front of the label. Along with “MAY SHIT PANTS.”
Your loyal customer,
Sean

This debate enrages UConn Twitter, but I have to admit I don’t care. Just call them 5-time national champions and leave it at that.
UCLA is a “blue blood,” and I very much doubt UConn is looking to change places with them right now.

I’m assuming this to be true. Kissinger was a lot like Dick Cheney, an unapologetic asshole.
In a political world where everyone tries to win everyone over and cater their views to their audience, it’s nice to see someone who goes “This is what I am. You don’t like it? Who cares?”
I can think of several thousand Cambodians and Laotian who would have a very different opinion about how nice that is.

Goddamn I just woke up in a bad mood today. Just numb at the gym. Annoyed with the fam. Came to get a coffee instead of heading into the office because I’m otherwise going to tear down some self-confidence.
Get this fucking year over with, man.
Try some of this…
I’m no shit on a 4-week bar-only crash diet mainly because I just couldn’t fucking deal with how out of control the meal selection/prep/scheduling conversations had become.
Which, I’m sure, is part of the generally high baseline rage levels BUT AKTUALLY not consuming a beehive worth of sugar a day is allowing me to see everyone else’s fuckups a lot more clearly.
I don’t mind those conversations so much but I do find it pretty frustrating that two hours after we’ve already settled the question the Dr. Mrs. once again begins musing about “what should we have for dinner?” (i.e. “what are you cooking?”).
My threshold is after the forth recommendation I make WTF I feel like you are welcome to it… or not.
If she’s cooking (we share the duties) I am usually game for her first suggestion.
I was in a good mood until I came downstairs and discovered that – yet again, in defiance of my strenuous objections – the Dr. Mrs. had tried to wash one of our reusable food bags in the dishwasher instead of taking the twenty seconds to do it by hand. One of these days it’s going to get stuck in the drain and the dishwasher will overflow and you’ll never guess who will get stuck dealing with the mess. I need to remember this incident for the Airing of Grievances this year.
