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:
To the living, we owe respect. But to the dead, we owe only the truth [in bed].
Voltaire

Is this ghosts or some necrophilia? I’m rushing getting this done today and working on the post whilst in meetings, so not really thinking too much about it. And not sure I really want to think about this too much.

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.

49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk Credits 51-Yard Catch vs. Lions to A Ladybug Landing on His Shoe

Do they have ladybugs in Vegas? Should we release some?

Well, if I die tonight, know that it was for laughing because Senorita Weaselo was lamenting she didn’t have enough pork in her kimchi yaki udon.

“I like the meat, my body likes the meat—“

And then I burst out laughing reflexively.

DFO’s history symposium, hosted by our resident Doktor.

My mom was impressed with how much happened in 1957, the year she was born, and still the last time the Lions won a road playoff game.

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from avian flu.

An avian pathologist examined the remains of the crows and to everyone’s relief confirmed the problem was definitely NOT avian flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.

However, during a detailed analysis it was noted varying colors of paints appeared on the bird’s beaks and claws. By analyzing the paint residue it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.

MTA then hired an ornithological behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills, and he quickly identified
the cause:

When crows eat road kill they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger, and while all the lookout crows could say “cah,” none could say “truck.”

I can’t stop laughing at this story. https://www.inquirer.com/education/clarice-schillinger-doylestown-charges-trial-20240129.html

tl;dr – local Republican politician lets kids drink at her daughter’s 17th birthday party. Grownups join in and cause trouble. Hilarity ensues.

After 4 months of reading, I just officially finished War and Peace. The entire goddamn thing including both epilogues.

“Enjoyable” may not apply but some of the book was stunning. The war sequences and the descriptions of the soldiers pendulums of emotion during battle were incredible.

Some of the scenes with the fancy balls and soirees were bloody fucking awful.

I can’t specifically recommend reading but it is a classic for a reason.

Zero regrets

I have so many books lines up that I can’t wait to get to now.

One lifetime achievement crossed off the to-do list.

So I just saw the new Paramount ad on the social medias, and I have no idea what in the fuck I just witnessed. For those scoring at home:

Tua can’t throw a grappling hook, because it’s not football shaped. So Sir Patrick Stewart recommends the next closest football shaped thing, one Arnold Shortman due to his head. Tua rightfully refused, so, and I need to double check my notes… Patrick Stewart throws Arnold, while singing Creed.

Once again, I’d like to confirm that the lovely teas in Senorita Weaselo’s collection are not hallucinogenic.

Mrs. Horatio is in Southern CA tonight, so if any of you happen to see an attractive woman, about 5’7″ and likely high, floating by in the Biblical flood torrents you’re about to get, I would appreciate it if you could fish her out of the water.

/Wifey was away for a few days

Wifey: [looks at chart] “Did you give Molly her pills at the designated times while I was away?”

Me: “No I didn’t-those checkmarks on each day indicate when I forgot or didn’t bother.”
