Your Gentle Sunday Evening Open Thread (with football goodness)

Canadian_girl_400x400.jpg

She’s a rainy depressive day over here and I should make a fire. Ruby loves snuggling nearby when it’s roaring but Molly (the incredibly stupid one) doesn’t have a clue-she’d rather go out in the dreary drizzle and annoy the good folks that live down the road. (one time she came back with a gash in her head and we’re pretty sure one of our neighbors took a potshot at her, we just couldn’t settle on which one) Are you still in the LDB Challenge? As I said previously, I’m still in despite the fact that the boys in the warehouse play local radio which has an Xmas tune every fourth song. Why am I typing this drivel? Oh yeah…

To The Game!

Ravens/Jags:

-Poor Jacktown-they played the #1 defense last week and their prize for having done that is the #2 defense this evening.

-Baltimore leads the league with 49 sacks-not good news for a guy that gets passed around correctional facilities like a carton of Marlboros who also happens to have a gimpy ankle.

-Lamar! only averages 225 yards passing per game but he went for 300+ last week. The Jags D gives up a very healthy average of 265 so our favorite Jackson might just have back-to-back 300 games for only the second time in his career. Seriously, he’s only done it once? In this passing-friendly league?

-Travis Etouffee got off to a hot start but he’s now in the midst of an eight game streak of not having rushed for 100 yards. He probably needs more Holy Trinity in his diet.

-A win by the Ravens gets them to a 68% chance of achieving the top seed in the AFC

-A Jags win virtually guarantees them top spot in the putrid NFC South, as though that were a goal worth striving for.

-Flowers For AlgerZay: He’s been gobbling up the targets recently and has been good for 20+ fantasy points the last two weeks.

Go get ’em.

Jaguars showing the kind of pre-emergency planning that has every single property insurance carrier in the nation abandoning the Florida market.

They’re not booing, they’re yelling, “DUUUUUUUU-VALLLLLLL.”

LemonJello

No, they’re booing, and rightfully so.

fleshwound_NPG

TOLD you jags got money on the game

Khans trying to make up for that AEW contract

I can’t wait until these broadcasts become AI. I’ll take tje game Madden/Romo team over any ‘Real’ NBC lineup.

I’m getting some kinda of pro sports team. If you can generate gambling interest; you’ve got a seat at the table.

LemonJello

Give me Keith Jackson and Pat Summerall for my AI booth

blaxabbath

$4.99/month

LemonJello

Worth it.

I was watching Blue Hawaii with Elvis and, as his mom, Angela Landsbury. When he returns home from his 2- year stint with the army, she compliments Elvis that, in his uniform, he looks like General Stonewall Jackson.

I don’t think people realize how much addition by subtraction America is going to have no choice but to experience over the next 10 years.

this game is…kinda dumb

WCS

So was that.

Jaws + It = Night Swim

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, so those long snap to pass times are why Lamar! didn’t have a 300 game till now. Used to be he would run out of those, now they don’t want him running as much cuz injuries so he’s transitioned to scambling but still staying back and eventually finding a pass

blaxabbath

Seems like the optimal use of his freakish physical skill set.

Doktor Zymm

Ooh, I might do that tomorrow night. I haven’t read in the tub in years, but I got the Chicago bathroom in good shape now so I totally should

litre_cola

As much as you crave it. Do not have toast.

Game Time Decision

Hopefully he’s not smelling any

yeah right

NBC with the Molly Hatchet drop.

Goddammit. (I feel like I’ll be saying this a lot tonight).

Is the whiskey I’m drinking good? It’s 108 proof, so who cares if it’s good?

Doktor Zymm

Can you still feel your sinuses?

Redshirt

At this proof, the contents of his sinuses should be vaporized by now.

Doktor Zymm

Lookit all those kids in the stadium pool. Sanitary!

Doktor Zymm

Hourish until boarding so gonna watch the game and drink a subsidized beer at the Lark Creek Grill, woo, subsidized!

TheRevanchist

At this point, I just assume you have a double 0 status working on Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Doktor Zymm

This is just priority pass, I think everyone in here is using it because it’s really overpriced otherwise

TheRevanchist

A good spy never tells anyone she is a good spy.

*wink-wink

Brick Meathook

Subsidized? That the Democrats for ya

Doktor Zymm

But this is a subsidy for people with good enough credit to get a premium credit card, the Democrats only subsidize the poors and rich people with student loans

yeah right

So eldest right and son in law are getting a bacon of the month thing for Christmas.
Just 3 months though that shit is stupid expensive.

Because I was ordering bacon I bought a slab of Broadbent hickory smoked bacon.

That shit is a hickory smoked motherfucker right there.
Damn tasty bacon product indeed.

Bet that would make a hell of a quiche.

fleshwound_NPG

good for a league that its officials dont know some rules. sure.

litre_cola

You should watch English footy. Even with video review they put on a clinic of shadiness and ineptitude.

Doktor Zymm

I think FIFA will always be my gold standard of shadiness

Alright, giving Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny a shot, pray for Mojo.

fleshwound_NPG

its ok. better than the previous one and thats all it needed to be.

BugEyedBoo

I concur. Better than Crystal Skull.

Redshirt

Better than Temple of Doom?

LemonJello

Watched it Friday night. Was not impressed, and a little disappointed. Old Indy shuffling along was a little sad, tbh.

LemonJello

I almost forgot.

SHUT. UP. COLLINSWORTH.

How do you all forget to push the MUTE button every fucking week?

Good evening, we’re now at the part of the holidays where I get angry that “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound in Music is in B-flat Major. It’s not “Si-Do-Re” dammit, they use fixed do!

fleshwound_NPG

you know who eventually made krauts like them b-flat? the allies

Update: Apparently Austria uses movable do.

Gish by Smashing Pumpkins is absolutely phenomenal. Corgan became a knob, but he was amazing in the 1900’s

Don’t forget Mario Lanza. The original Italian tenor in my life.

MA loved her some Mario Lanza.

Related to Tony Danza?

So….what is Michael Phelps up to? Just hanging out?

BugEyedBoo

Do you think he still swims? Eight hours of swimming a day for 25 years ought to be enough.

Doktor Zymm

He just has a float tank, the chillest form of almost swimming

JustStopDude

Flacco apparently is cutting lose with another come from behind victory by having a glass of warm skim milk and a piece of toast.

Wild man.

LemonJello

Wonder bread, toasted?

yeah right

Easy on the toast there wild man!

Gumbygirl

Lightly. Let’s not get crazy here. Maybe a little I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, because he’s celebrating. But no jelly. Jelly is for champions.

fleshwound_NPG

yes, we are ALL sleeping on your ravens

have you seen them do what they do during the month of january since 2013

fleshwound_NPG

lower seed ravens are a legit danger and always has been

high seed front running ravens are a mortal lock for one-and-done

And now we play a game of “can Lady BFC tell how much whiskey I drank next door/am I gonna get into trouble for being drunk?”

It’s not a fun game.

This is a carnival shutting down near Dulles Airport, in Virginia.

I grew up around there. The transition has been crazy.

You will need to watch this several times to see everything.

Been out of LDBC for weeks, multiple times. Have a bye in FF this week (2nd place in regular season).

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And as shared on the previous thread, out of LDBC as of a few hours ago.

He was on the Jagoofs train since the preseason

I really like this. It’s at a little park at the approach to LAX Runway 24R, across from the In-N-Out burger. It took 7 hours to set up (no lie) because I knew the exact plane that would be landing. The mother and her son were just gravy.

Nice framing

BugEyedBoo

That guy that was just on SNF either has gone full Aryan Nation, or asked his barber for a haircut straight out of The Hunter Games.

BugEyedBoo

Hunger Games. JFC.

yeah right

Still in the LDB challenge! Despite attending a work potluck with Christmas music going AND attending my 11th or 12th consecutive Nutcracker ballet!

I control my own destiny at this point.

Daydrinking at the pub then red wine drinking is good for the soul.

/ just got caught by Deci pouring him a bath, drinking wine, solo dancing.

Until the SNF game, I present Joyriding High on Dope
This is actually just some test footage for a commercial I shot. I had my Sony A7III and my iPhone 12 mounted on the roof of my Ford Explorer Rolls Royce SUV. The iPhone was the superior footage. These were all tests, and I obviously love the Torrance refinery. They never used my footage but I got paid in full.
