Subsequent GTD reflections

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:
The greatest good you can do for another, is not to share your own riches, but to reveal to him, his own [in bed].
Benjamin Disraeli

So, we all have skillz in bed, we just need to be shown what they are. I think mine is being able to fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow.

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.


I think Purdy did well overall. There were a couple questionable pass playcalls, and a few broken plays where he didn’t do anything dumb, but someone like Lamar! (or maybe even Purdy in a few years) could have miraculously made something happen and kept the offense on the field longer when they had the initial lead. Could have made the difference in such a tight ending. I’m gonna blame Baby Shanny, cuz I want to. He maybe has a bit too much confidence that his scheme is good enough to be plug-and-play for any situation.

Surely next season will be the year the Cowboys win the Super Bowl.

Get to the Super Bowl?

Get to the NFC Championship game?

Win the wild card game?

Just not trip over their dicks and fall flat on their faces in the first round of the play-offs?

Does Lowratio regain his freedom* if Dem Boys and Ol’DubbleJ get themselves a 21st century Owl?


*a faint YEEeeeeeeHaawwwww!!!!1!! is heard from Lowratio’s paddock

The only way Lowratio can gain his freedom is if his owner gives him a piece of Cowboy paraphernilia.

With the Super Bowl over, Taylor Swift will now be turning her attention to completing her Ph.D. in quantum physics and nuclear fusion energy research; her dissertation will probably completed in the next 4-5 weeks.
The Maestro

Dolph Lundgren and Peter Weller (Robocop) both have PhDs, and Brian May of Queen is a literal rocket scientist.


We’re going to learn Jewel works for the CDC as a virologist later this year, so T-Swift owning the first Death Star plans completely checks out.

WCS

Ahem, SECOND Death Star plans, but she has the capital to actually build hers

Gumby and I bought tickets last night to the Palm Springs Screwball Comedy Film Festival. Every Sunday, at 3 o’clock. I think it’s 10 or 12 weeks. That should help a little. Other than that, it’s the pool, and lots of weed.

Have fun at the Farm Festival!

A dwarf penguin? Does Lowratio know about this?

The earlier talk about catholicism got me thinking.
I really didn’t have religion as a big part of my life growing up and I’m an old bastard.
My great grandmother was from Ireland and she became a Baptist.
Which, you know whatever.
Fine.

But my mom’s parents were pentecostal with the speaking in tongues and shit and my still formulating brain couldn’t deal with that shit.
Basically I never grew up with religion and don’t carry the guilt of it but some shit still fucks with me.

Guess you could call that subliminal implantation.

I’ve given both of my girls and all my granddaughters the ability to seek and find and if what you find works for you that’s great.

Just don’t expect to find my heathen ass sitting in a pew next to you on Sundays.

I’ve got cooking to do.
yeah right


I already had TPB on when I entered this post. Good signs.

My wife is doing the Valentine’s Day at School Prep with blaxito. I came home early and we had like a late lunch that served as my Insurance payment to get to the “real Valentine’s Day date” on Saturday. Had good weather. So the backstop is solid there.

Now I’m camping out because I’m finally getting our important (NERD) vendor to my shop tomorrow and so I need to build him a big excel flowchart of some fairly annoying processes we’re going to be communicating to him. Super excited because I’m crossing now into The Shop and I’m sure we’re going to hit a home run her and then I’m gonna be like, “Later Gat0rz.” So anyways, I just tossed on TPB as background noise in the bedroom as I work here. Very good omen (as if there’s any other kind).

& in today’s “Not A Drag Queen Reading Books to Kids” headlines:

‘A Texas pastor has been fired over “a pattern of predatory manipulation, sexual exploitation, and abuse of influence,” including with a minor in 2011.’

Evidently, the “church” is more mad he’s actually gay than anything he did with kids.


I’m shocked.

I was just surfing the Royal Retros site to see if I should donate any more money to Vietnamese orphans in return for off-brand but strangely high-quality hockey jerseys. I was reminded of the recent social media rantings about the latest replicas from Fanatics, which apparently suck more than usual.

So, completely unrelated, you can go to Royal Retros and get a “Creamsicle” jersey, an “orange crush” jersey, a “birds” jersey, (it’s green), and several other generically named jerseys for NFL teams. For an additional fee they’ll even customize it for you. Hypothetically you could get a “Creamsicle” jersey with “Selmon” and “63” on it. And not give a thin dime to those dirty bastards at Fanatics.

It’s Saturday here, but on the sexy side my eavesdropping leads me to believe that the 2 gentlemen on my right at the bar are on a first date! Both from out of town, so perhaps an app-enabled first date. Get it on, you two!

Me: [kinda stunned] “Ok, well, if you need anything just give me a call.”

Grocery Manager: “This company sends me crap and refuses to give me credit on the stuff that I can’t sell. I guess I’m coming back to you with my tail between my legs.”*

Me: “Glad to have you back.”

Let’s all put aside our differences and congratulate the big man himself, Rush Limbaugh, on achieving three years of sobriety today. It’s truly a momentous achievement Mr. Limbaugh, and I hope you take some time off from being buried upside down in a pool of fiery diarrhea in Hell to enjoy it.

Starting to think about getting a new car, so as not to wait until my current one just dies, and am realizing how annoying “buying guides” are to people who aren’t car people.

Like, I still don’t understand what fucking “torque” is, though I gather it’s good?

I’m just going to put this shit off for another couple of months.

Soooo, I gave my sisters and mother a pep talk today about how putting dad in a facility is going to change everyone’s lives, his included, for the better. Really positive, and well done as far as I’m concerned.

And . . .

They all just stared at me.

“Okay, I’ll see you guys later.”

And I walked out.

Insane.

Are we doing a live blog of The Dirty Dozen on TCM? As long as the booze holds out, yes. Just want to say that George Kennedy knocked it out of the park in this movie and Cool Hand Luke. To me his modern-day counterpart is John Goodman because he can do serious and comedy in equal measure.
scotchnaut

First time I saw that movie, I was transfixed by Telly Savalas killing that German woman. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. Then, after killing a few people myself, it all made sense.

jjfozz

Myself, after I killed one central European, I thought I was sated but ended up wanting to kill another 10 minutes later. Alanis Morrissette addressed it in one of her caterwauling tunes.

It seems incredibly silly to me that Google has decided to waste resources redoing their login page to have ‘a more modern look and feel’. Who cares about that for a login page? I just want it to be simple and work seamlessly, which it does now just fine. I have an apprehension that this update is just going to screw it up. I really wish tech companies would stop breaking things.

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Stay busy and safe out there.
