I have literally fuckall to say, but feel free to post here. I posted Hot Bayern Girl because she must be sad today.
The only excuse for Arsenal’s frequent use of their banana kit? If it had “Bluth’s Original” as the shirt sponsor.

Next thread is a go.
My primary proteins for the day involve a pork roast and a big crockpot full of Swedish meatballs. Eldest daughter is bringing her rice cooker and we’ll serve the proteins over that.
Plus have an epic cheese plate with asiago, aged English cheddar, port salute and pepper jack as well as the tortilla chips with con queso and salsa.
Ice cold beers and a couple of bottles of wine for beverages and even some sodas for the non alcohol inclined.
I think we’re good for the day.
I just talked to my 90 year old mother on the phone, who has never had the slightest interest in football of any kind, and she knew who Travis Kielce was, because he is Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
Okay, is there a DFO pool for this game, and are there any open slots left? I’m aware I might be late to the party. I’m on Slack so let me know if you can.
Hey @Sharkbait, are there any squares left?
All right, I’ve got Chiefs 2, Niners 0 for my hot sauce box, which had the benefit of being zero money!
Woof. We call those the doaner boxes.
Surprised you don’t call them Donair boxes.
Ireland is kicking Italy’s azz right now at Rugby.
Bidwill’s sexualityI mean their results notwithstanding, Ireland was considered the #1 team in the world going into the World Cup last fall.29 zip right now. They look unstoppable.
You’d think Italy is a swarthy enough country to be better at rugby. And why isn’t the 6th place in “Six Nations” subject to promotion and relegation?
I was on a flight from Germany one time with the national team. They are some big boys.
When we flew home from South Africa we had two rugby players on our flight and it was like watching a wall walk down the aisles.
You’d think with all that olive oil pouring out of their pores they’d be super slippery to tackle.
36 zip and done, the crowds singing Zombie.
There are far better songs about zombies.

I watched a documentary about Six Nations and there was talk about relegating Italy out of it. But Italy is, or was, ranked something like 9th in the world and the next highest European team was Portugal somewhere in the teens, so it seems relegation wouldn’t change much.
The team has been better in the past. The sport is fairly popular here. Next door to the post where I work the local clubs field and facilities are located. The games draw good crowds.
Would love to have Partey out there just launching 40 yard piss missiles up 6-0.
“West Ham laboring….”
Pretty sure that whatever West Ham has been doing in this game is the complete opposite of laboring. Or working. Or trying hard. Or “playing soccer.”
West Ham should get to use their hands from the 85th minute on.
I’m as big a fan of documentaries as anyone but Carl Icahn: Restless Billionaire is a hagiography too far.
A glowing account of an irrationally rich fella… I refuse to believe it.
I had to run a bunch of errands pre-Owl today and figured I’d catch the second half of the Arsenal game, and it appears that’s the same approach West Ham took.
What in the blue fuck did I miss?
It could easily be even worse than this. It’s a proper dry bumming.
Who cares about Taylor at the Owl, when Marika is on tonight as Napoli tries to move up?
Also making chocolate chip cookies and eating the raw dough. I too like to live dangerously.
Raw cookie dough is worth the risk. Salmonella is just another way to lose a couple of pounds, which in turn makes room for more cookie dough. Win-win!
This guy gets it.
Science
Plus you’re building up immunity-you’re doing a favor for humanity.
Everyone be gentle with Fronk when he comes ’round. JEEBUS
This here West Ham Stadium, I call it Joaquin Pheonix’ holiday house because it’s a shooting gallery for the visitors.

We also would have accepted Oscar Pistorius bathroom
You’re getting sacked in the morning
In the morning
In the mooooorrrrrrrnnnning
I switched to Toulouse and Nantes because that was a beating.
Only still watching because I am a sick fuck and curious to see how bad it might get.
Goal differential might decide the Title, they have every right to run this scoreline ragged
You’re not wrong in theory, but in fact the title will be decided by whatever Haaland and de Bruyne decide they feel like doing.
Or the Robot Wars equivalent, “You’re going home in a bin bag.”
Well this game is over
These Arsenal kits are easily the worst this term.
2nd is the Liverpool green.
It rivals the year City had that “Fat, Tacky American Tourist” third kit, fo sho
They’re wretched.
Made it to the airport on time, yay! Hello from Minneapolis/St Paul. It’s chilly in here. Having a bagel, not a particularly good one.
That makes sense-I heard there are no Jewish people there.
We should ask BFC, he knows them all obvs
It’s a friendly and easily navigable airport plus it’s part of the metro rail line. You can catch the train from there and it will take you right downtown to US Bank stadium or Target field.
It’s a great setup.
Oh bananas, I was late putting up a thread.
edit-I’ll throw mine up later on.
Or just delete mine. It was literally 45 seconds worth of “effort”
I scheduled mine for noon o’clock. Let’s share the glory of having posted on this most special of days.
SO MUCH OWL GLORY
The eye roll I got from Mrs GTD when calling the game “the Owl” was awesome
