Your “Why Do Birds… Suddenly Appear?” Monday Evening Open Thread

Because they long to be… close to you.

Hi everyone,

It’s your old pal Beerguy, lassoed in for a special appearance. I’m coming to you after a very exciting weekend of watching wrestling, topped off by AEW Revolution, where Sting formally retired from the sport, and his partner Darby Allin celebrated by trying to kill himself.

This was the aftermath,

Oh, I know it’s scripted. And this kid scripted himself to do this.

Right now, I’m wrapped in the throes of surviving the two weeks until Spring Break. So many students are trying to get courses done before the end of the year it’s actually making me work at my job. What the hell?!

In the meantime, it’s just over a month until I get back to my real passion – beer hawking.

Some days, it’s the only thing keeping me going.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Bruins at Leafs – 7:00pm | Sportsnet
    • Kraken at Flames – 9:30pm | Sportsnet1
  • NBA:
    • Clippers vs. Bucks – 8:00pm | TSN4
    • Thunder vs. Lakers – 10:30pm | TSN4
    • In the US it’s all online tonight because…
  • NCAA:
    • Duke vs. NC State – 7:00pm | ESPN / TSN2
  • Wrasslin’:
    • WWE Monday Night Raw – 8:00pm | USA / Sportsnet360
      • Cody Rhodes responds to Dwayne about his Roody-poo-ness

It’s a bit of a slow night. In lieu of draft preparations and story conceiving, I can’t believe I’m anticipating the return of the USFL.

Considering Walmart blames underperformance and theft as a central reason for their recent store closures in Washington State, I’m not sure the Broncos are surprised the brown guy from their weekend trading spree in Seattle is going to show up as an absolute fleecing on their books for years to come.

Seems like everyone is asleep, so goodnight sweet princes, umami dukes, sour earls, etc

Doktor Zymm

Canada beaver? I dig it

Doktor Zymm

Opened the back door for them good rain sounds

Doktor Zymm

Metallic ink marker actually looks pretty damn good. And way cheaper than re-plating

I would be legit creeped out if birds started suddenly appearing and following me around

Gumbygirl

Someone called Iga Swiatek is the number 1 seed in the tennis tourno happening out here. I thought he/she/ they got murdered with Sharon Tate?

Doktor Zymm

Perhaps it is a relative seeking revenge through the medium of raquet sports?

Can we re-introduce trial by ordeal? I just want the simple pleasure of watching Trump play Aztec deathball or similar against far superior competition.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hell, just have Balls play him at golf. I guarantee that Trump can play nowhere near 15 strokes of his claimed handicap.

Doktor Zymm

Golf is kinda missing the death aspect though, unless it’s speed golf and he has a heart attack running between holes. I would dig that.

Gumbygirl

No cart, no caddy. He’d be dead by hole 3, tops.

Mr. Ayo

Fuck Calgary. Dirty fucking assholes.

Doktor Zymm

This comment is valid both in relation to hockey and politics!

Mr. Ayo
Doktor Zymm

Yeah, that is shitty

Doktor Zymm

Although good on the teammate to immediately retaliate, and good on the refs for calling the original foul

Mr. Ayo

Also, this is how that fucker started the game

Doktor Zymm

Damn, this isn’t the era for that, he should know better

Col. Duke LaCross

Getting a little chippy out there. That hit was filthy.

Doktor Zymm

This year’s freakish weather has been good for me, as it’s been nice in Chicago whenever it’s been crap in California. Hope this particular phase of global warming doom lasts a while.

Col. Duke LaCross

Today, I celebrated my 30th Anniversary in the golf business by not even thinking about work for the first time in like three months.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do tell! Vacation?

Col. Duke LaCross

Nope, just getting some shit done around the house. Going to New York with the future Duchess LaCross in May though.

D’aww

SonOfSpam

He’s probably a bottom.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Even if this was a cleverly conceived publicity stunt, it still gets top marks.

You all remember Top Mark, right? 6’3″, blond?

Doktor Zymm

On the plus side, I would probably have to legit move if I took the job I interviewed for today, so not a horrible one to mess up

There is a very attractive lady doing a strip tease for me on the tellie as I sip my pre run coffee. Looks like a good day coming up.

Has anyone mentioned “Broncos Country, say good-bye”?

Punk deserved to be fired but he was right. AEW is ECW with money. Mick Foley was a great wrestler who destroyed his body for the fans, but the problem is he has to live with the consequences. I’m reminded of Edge work shooting “I saw you walk into Hell in a Cell and I saw you try and fail to walk normally ever since.”

At this rate I don’t think Darby Allin will have worry about growing old.

Gumbygirl

Yay, it’s Beerguyrob! And yesterday we had a guest appearance by Taj! Today’s Mock Draft was fun, wasn’t it? Let me tell yinz exactly how fucking old I am. Gumby and I went to Denny’s for breakfast before his appointment at the podiatrist. Then I went to the “good” Dollar General and was chuffed to bits they had everything on my list. Oh, and we dropped off our ballots. Jaysus, what a couple of geezers! No wonder I smoke so much weed, it’s part of my senior citizen thug life.

Doktor Zymm

There’s nothing like voting in a primary to make one feel old!

And Request Line! After all these years, Rikki is still coming up with fresh, original, manageable topics!

Gumbygirl

Which is why you’re my favorite, Rikki. Don’t tell the others.

Game Time Decision

We have a federal by election going on today. There were 9 peeps on the ballot. Have no clue how it’s gonna go

I think we can all guess what “ridin’ dirty” means here.

ballsofsteelandfury

Someone is actually watching the USFL???

My dad is asking about it. Either it’s the lack of football or the state of the world is causing him to root FOR the ALS.
