There is footy, though no early-birder. But a reasonably full day, given that the schedule gets fuckety for the Cursed Caribou Cup tomorrow (hopefully Chelski will be ROCKIN’ for a certain dog supporter).
Four in the 10:00 window, with USA showing Villa against the Robins Hood. One never knows what to expect from either side of late, perhaps this will be good. But probably not, in which case you should stream Trashbirds/Toffees (masochists), Men Untied/Mighty Whitey (actually like footy), or Palace/Burnley (German schiesse porn enthusiasts).
Spotlight shines on City of Men, travelling to the South Coast to face off against yeah right’s spirited bunch of Cherries (12:30, NBC). All of a sudden, the thrice-defending champs can’t score for love nor moneys. This game should be fairly open, perhaps that will help? Or else Bournemouth might just mop the floor with Pep’s lads.
The bonus match is late (3:00, Peacock), with the King’s Afrikan Water Pistols battling Geordie Arabia. Doesn’t get much MOAR “Classic Good v. Evil” than this matchup.
Back to the void after that. I hope everyone brought along a booky-book.
“Out of Time” from the U.K. version of The Rolling Stones 1966 album Aftermath. The U.S. release of this song was cut shorter.
This is a true Rolling Stones song as it features both Brian Jones and Ian Stewart . The song was recorded at RCA Hollywood, and there were all sorts of exotic instruments around the studio, from previous artist’s sessions. Brian Jones began experimenting with a marimba, an instrument he had never seen before. His marimba playing figures prominently in this song. Original Stone Ian Stewart is on the organ.

I’m pretty happy that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar seems to have been a decent dude.
About the closest he ever got to a scandal was his association with the Hanafi Movement, and even that was before the founder of the movement had his family murdered and went kinda crazy eventually culminating in the 1977 siege in DC. Marion Barry was shot during the siege and it probably helped him on the way to his 1979 mayoral victory. I should probably thank him for indirectly helping me learn how to make pretty awesome jokes about crack at the tender age of 10 when Barry made his political comeback.
Crack is whack.
Kareem is a very good dude. He has a foundation that gives a lot of money to youth programs in LA.
“Goddam. The bitch done set me up.”
I wish this story featured the headline “R. Grossman slays two siblings” and it was about something happier (and sexier):

One of the great things about being in New Zealand was the complete lack of any news from the US
Ugh. That baseball player she was racing with needs to go to prison too.
Amazon Prime has every season of the original MXC. Here comes the rabbit hole.
Don’t. Get. ELIMINATED!!
Right you are, Ken!
Yesterday’s mope has done its job, and the little gnomes that make up my subconscious have assimilated the feedback I’ve been getting and formulated a plan for dealing with the abomination that is ‘behavioUral interviews’. I’m gonna make visual aids. There are slides, or a document, or at least a white board in every single work situation, so if they’re really interested in how I would perform in a workplace environment they should have no problem letting me use the same tools as I would there.
I also had a great morning, first time back at the stable in about a month and it is a beautiful day. Stopped on the way home to get ingredients for guac, and I’m trying some sort of canned margarita which hopefully won’t suck, so overall back in a good mood!
Update: The canned margarita is excellent!
?min-w=200&min-h=200&fit=crop
It’s this stuff:
I first read that as “cultwater” and wondered if it was some kind of kool-aid competitor.
Cultwater is what Gumby brought home thinking it was a COVID supplement drink.
Jim Jones’ Jesus GroovePunch!
I first read that as “cuntwater” and wondered if it was some kind of vagina competitor.
“Ha ha ha, liquid other than urine coming out of a vagina, what a ridiculous concept!” – Ben Shapiro
Also a great way to keep Ben Shapiro away!
You should try making a Beer Margarita
Fill a blender with ice. Take a can of frozen limeade concentrate and squeeze the contents into the blender. Using the empty limeade can, fill it with tequila and add that into the blender. Next, fill the limeade container with Mexican beer and add that to the blender. Put cover on blender and run it until the contents are like a Slurpee. Pour out a tall glassful and enjoy.
There are variations of this online but I think the basic one is the best. You can use whatever is your favorite tequIla and Mexican beer brand, it doesn’t matter. This is surprisingly good, and it’s simple and easy. It also doesn’t matter what size limeade concentrate you get, because it measures the other ingredients, so the proportions are always correct.
Sounds good, although I don’t own a blender capable of crushing ice right now so I’ll have to keep it in memory for the future
I got this blender off Amazon for $43 and it’s pretty good. Very sturdy.

Oh fuck the new James album “Girl at the end of the World” is fucking banging.
Well not that new but new to me.
Today is reminiscent of my Covid weekend. Hunkered down in the basement watching any futbol that the teevee gods will give me. Looks like a lovely day in LA today.
We have “pending thunderstorm” sky. oh you NOE Hippo gon’ sleep
It’s a fucking beauty.
Did my 5 mile harbor walk, sun was shining, music was bumping.
Yeah. That’s why I’m here. Thirty two years and counting.
There’s a lot of great jokes in this thread.
There’s also some jokes that *I* contributed!
Sir, you have taught us the priceless value of free neighboUrhood street fruit
Spirited outing by the Cherries today.
Placed my order through DHGATE for my Solanke jersey this morning.
Should be here in time for the offseason.
You made a Chinese slave child very happy with your order!
I don’t think you know how slavery works.
According to Ron deSantis, it was all voluntary, and it’s actually better than freedom!
Greg Abbott, too.
plus there’s a potential .000001 yen productivity bonus!
That’s Chinese Yuan (CNY) or Renminbi (RMB), sir.
I shall administer 5 lashes in pious regret
Interesting that none of the actual slaves themselves wrote books or even essays about how great slavery was.
I’m guessing the reason for that is that they spent their childhood happily working in the fields while singing spiritual hymms as opposed to going to stupid boring school and learning how to read and stuff.
its that #ChristianModesty we taught them. OUT OF THE GOOD OF OUR HEARTS smgdh
thats all just woke librul bullshit anyway me and my famiy went two schooll of hardknocks and we love AMERICA and TRUMP MAGA
He’s from North Carolina, of course he knows how slavery works.
ahem, we prefer happy worker interns PLEASE dude
I’m incorporating lard into YRs carnitas recipe. Not sure when it goes in so i just did a few man-sized* dollops while bringing this to boil.
* “4inches!” -D Favre, Wife of Shitbag With Small Dick
Not a goddamn thing wrong with that. Anytime in the first half of the cooking process should do nicely.
Is it coming covered or not? I got it uncovered at about 207F right now
Usually one is uncovered when coming
I usually half cock the lid.
No wrong way if the pig comes out tender.
You know who else likes lard? Not my girlfriend, because she doesn’t exist.
Welp, Tuesday is the big day. The day we bring my father to the care facility. if I don’t flat out strangle one of my sisters or my mother, consider it a win.

My word! The King’s Finest are certainly doing the Lord’s work on the pitch here today. Perhaps it’s time for Geordie Arabia to find a new God!
Sir. It was a good day.
I think Arsenal may have this one wrapped up.
Time to take the dog for a walk.
All wrapped up — that’s how John Terry liked it when he was spending the evening with a teammate’s wife!
If you’ve got to wrap it up, are you really dominating?
Tom Brady didn’t wrap it up when he and Bridget Moynahan had “one for the road”, ppl forget that
I haven’t seen an arsenal this wrapped up since Greg Hardy used that comforter to scoop up his gun collection that he’d spread all over his bed.
This is just superb work.
Duke loses, crowd storms the court and it looks like the fans might have hit and injured a Duke player.
Gotta keep your head on a swivel.
Also he is a Dook player so certainly is faking.
Twitter is definitely of that opinion. And also that he assaulted a female student first, (he didn’t), that he shouldn’t have been on the court if he didn’t want to get hurt, and oh hey, did you see how he was dressed? He was asking for it!
He was wearing a Duke uniform, I assume, and listen, I don’t want to engage in victim-blaming here, but…[trails off]
Everybody wins!

WHAT DOES COACH K HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?????!!!!

Duke down 2 late to Wake Forest.
WF with the ball and 42 seconds left.
Wake just ran a pretty dumb offensive set, Duke got the ball back with 10 second and promptly threw the ball away.
Absolutely the type of thing Coach K would have hurled someone under the bus for.
Do you think the Brit-speak phrase “Christ on a bike” refers to the fact that Our Lord and SavioUr couldn’t ride for shit, because his earthly dad secretly resented him?
Hard to push down on the pedal with holes in Your feet.
I tend to think of the Son of God as more a skateboarder than a biker…
he was a sk8r boy
ah said yer my savioUr boy
Cousinfuckers aren’t completely shitting their dicks on national teevee, so that’s nice.

I’d stick with that, and not flip over to NBC.
Am I wrong to think that Arsenal are better than City of Men and the Shite? Because I do so think.
I think they’re playing better than both right now.
Over the course of season the talent MC can bring is probably the difference. I do think they’re better than the Red Shite.
I mean it’s not for everyone beating Arsenal….
Quiet, you.
My goal for the day (since I slept 6:30p to 2:40a last night) is to stay awake until sunset. I am caffeinated to the gills. I cannot keep my leaden eyelids open.
Based on their play today, would one say that Newcastle is more like the New York Jets or the Chicago Bears?
YES
Based on their repeated turnovers in their own territory, I’d have to go with the Jets. Given their complete lack of any sort of offense, I’d have to also go with the Jets. Given that their ownership’s only accomplishment in life was being born into the right bloodline, I’m once again going to have to go with the Jets.
The amount of teeth in the away support is similar to Q-aron-curious ivermectin consumers, too
NEWCASTLE is far too much to try to spell something worthwhile like Just Endure The Suffering.
J-E-T-S…Jets! Jets! Jets! converts nicely to:
B-O-N-E…S! A! W!
Looks like Handsome Mikel issuing a fatwa of his own, inshallah!
Proper ice scrap, that one. Holy shit!
3 points is 3 points, I guess. But unconvinving is also unconvincing.
/expert analysis worth ALL TEH imaginary moneys
It’s more than slightly less disappointing Everton. But 1 point is point, I guess.
man, you know you are shite when you lose a lead in added time to a side playing with 10 – and you are still pretty pleased to get the point
Stillers dumped their center.
Good. Cole sucked. Addition by subtraction IMHO.

I swear City of Men wear a different uni every game.
Damned metrosexuals with their constantly changing fashion!
Men Untied supporters are reacting reasonably….
Kodak is introducing a new Super-8 film movie camera. It takes three minute loads of professional motion picture film, the same stuff Tarantino and Christopher Nolan use!
The three minute film loads are $40 each (not sure if that includes processing and digital transfer; probably not), and the camera is a mere $5500.

I’m calling this Cuse/Notre Dame game The Battle of Hattin because they’re laying one hell of a beating on a bunch of Catholics.
Now if Scotland can beat England I can nap happily.
Haaland missed another one in close. He’s clearly washed. Better trade him to Arsenal, quick.
Wow, stadium shaming right out of the gate.
These announcers must be NFC fans.
I may be banned from the community pool after that display.
the boy should be home watching the footy with his dad, anyway. Or at least in the pub.
With all of my soul I want to head down there like I did after the Arsenal win. I just caught this cold and do not want to get my mates sick.

It’s embarrassing that it took so long for Syracuse to do this-it’s “Jim Boeheim Day” at the
CarrierJMA Wireless Dome today.Knuckle deep everyone!
a pickin’ and a grimacin’
They wanted to make sure Jim had plenty to time to drive, very slowly, to the JMA Wireless Dome.
Oh, that’s good.
9(!) minutes of extra time?

I read 90 minutes and had to double check
Oh, I didn’t just bring A booky-book. I brought SEVERAL booky-books. You could even say MANY booky-books. At least I’m a good kindergartener and brought enough to share with the entire class!
I’m reading the Raksura books by Murderbot lady. On the Matt Ryan pretty good scale I give them a 6.
I’m reading a beauty. “Verdigris” by Michele Mari.
Can’t give enough recommendations for this one.
Brick has me reading The 50’s. It’s very interesting.
I’m rereading Brideshead Revisited. Waugh is me!

Already pissed off about losing to Men Untied.
Don’t worry, mate. You’re probably just dying.
