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:
Death ends a life, not a relationship [in bed].
Mitch Albom

So, there’s lotsa fishies in the sea?

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.

So, had a bit of a thought today

Since the chiefs won their third superbowl in five years, I’ve heard a lot of complaints about them being subject to favorable calls from the refs and it got me thinking….

If we wanted to, could we come up with a top ten times the brady/belichik era patriots benefited from the refs?

1. The tuck rule…
2. That pass interference against Cleveland
3. The roughing the passer calls from the Baltimore games.
4. The roughing the passer against the chiefs..

I could go on .

So I’m sick as hell today, (feel like a fever but isn’t, body aches, coughing, nose stuffed form here to kingdom come, exhausted), but I’m in the system at work trying to plug along because of fucking course the deposition that the plaintiff has canceled 7 times is going forward today. I should not even be practicing law right now.

And our new system has decided to shit the bed, and if it doesn’t get back up and running in 18 minutes this deposition is going to be very hard to get done.

God bless us, every one!

Dad is firmly ensconced in his new home.

First hour:
Pretty Nurse walks in: “Hi Dr. John.”
My dad: “Hi. You’re very pretty.”
Nurse: “Thank you.”
My dad: “So, are you single?”

Way to prove the point by constructing this gem of a sentence, vastly superior to anything in PK’s ouvre:

King’s writing, beyond windy prose to convey basic facts, is a collection of clichés, internal contradictions, and NFL orthodoxy from the Church of Everybody Knows, blended into a fine paste and spread on Stoned Wheat Thins to trick you into thinking it’s Fancy

I have 2 more final round interviews over the next couple weeks, plus a manager interview tomorrow. Since the behavioUral/conversational portions of these things require their own special form of communication that is pretty much only used in job interviews and testifying before Congress, that’s the part that has been my bane thus far. So I’m fixing the problem the way I fix most stupid, artificial problems: with a spreadsheet. STAR methoding the crap outta my ‘tell me about a time you..’ stories over here.

I’ve been getting endless left-wing emails (several a day) for an Ohio Democrat named Sherrod Brown (never heard of him but apparently he’s the sitting senior US Senator). He’s running very anti-Trump and he desperately needs my money. Fair enough; he ain’t getting any.

This morning, on an old Yahoo email address, I started getting right-wing emails. One from some broad named Kari Lake calling me a fellow Patriot and then another one from no less than Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (his picture on the email makes him look like a dork) and he’s wholeheartedly endorsing that Lauren Boebert wingnut for Congress. I wouldn’t fuck Lake or Boebert with Mike Johnson’s little dick let alone give them any money.

What have I done to deserve all this attention?

The Cincinnati Bengals , who were criticized following last year’s survey for not providing players three meals a day, made a very slight change to that policy and now offer three meals at the facility on Wednesdays.

Sorry about your back, but I’ve had a really bad cold and cough for the last two days, so let’s make this all about me.

Seriously though, feel better. Even spending two days confined to a couple of rooms drives me nuts.

I wish you a speedy recovery Buddy. Do the PT, try to double the reps if you can. I trust you will be back at it soon, until then keep the faith and rest. Ohhh… and that’s some cool writing there Alex.

This sounds like something the Dr. Mrs. would really enjoy. I think I’ll make one for her tonight.

On another note, while I was logging in here Google just informed me that the password I used had been found in a data breach. What I want to know is WHAT THE FUCK IS GOOGLE DOING SNOOPING ON PASSWORDS THAT I AM ENTERING INTO NON-GOOGLE SITES?

Was watching the coverage of The Brier last night, and a spectator was ejected for hassling Brad Gushue. Imagine how big an asshole you have to be to get kicked out of a curling event. Only in Canada!

So, I love my Canadian buddy Glen and his cooking channel, “Glen and Friends” but was disappointed that his last vid was about glazed carrots. And then I remembered that he currently has a series called, “What I Found In The Discount Aisle”. Why is he doing that? Because he is financially squeezed because he is restoring an old plane. What does he do with those old planes? He participates in a program-Hope Air-that flies folks from isolated communities to cities where they can get badly-needed medical help.

Before anyone makes fun of BFC for watching preseason Aussie Football you should be aware that I’m watching the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles play the South Sydney Rabbitohs in what I’m almost certain is a game of rugby.

I do not know the rules, do not understand the terms being used, and frankly have trouble understanding the “convict English” accent the Aussies use.

It’s great.

Mmmmm, pie! Here’s my latest disaster. The other day, we drove up to Big Bear to return SIL’s dog to her. We all went out to a nice old resto up there, Captain’s Anchorage, highly recommend. We split the bill, I paid half with my Amex. SIL paid half with her Visa. The place is very dark, both of the credit cards are dark, and we each had a martini and split a bottle of wine They returned hers to me, mine to her, and we signed, never noticed. Today she called and asked if she left her card in my car. She called the resto, they don’t have it. I looked, not in the car, but I found hers in my wallet, with the receipt. I have to call them at 4:30 to see if they have mine, please let it be so, and get them to permit SIL to pick it up since she’s still up there. Why can’t I just have a steak and get pleasantly buzzed without it turning into an ordeal?

Good news ! The restaurant has my card, and SIL can pick it up. They think we’re morons, and we probably are, but crisis averted.
