Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 5

BktGhodCAAAjSMx.jpg

In these Off-season Open Threads, I’ll sum up the week that was, provide you with TMI-style information, and throw some random spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks.

This week, I spent quite a bit of fun time with Lady Balls.

I would love to tell you about it, but this blog is on enough watch lists already and Hippo already judges me plenty WASPily. Instead, I will give to you BALLS’ GUIDE TO BEING WITH A LATINA. There are a few things you need to know should you venture into this world. This was inspired by Don T’s Wednesday Motivational in which he talked about Owning Deception.

***

You Buy The Ticket You Take The Ride

That’s not just an idiom. Literally, being with a Latina is taking a ride. A rollercoaster ride of emotions and actions that will drive lesser men crazy and to the poorhouse.

She will change emotions so quickly that you will get whiplash. Just when you think everything is good, she will pick a fight for shits and giggles.

At least you will think that it’s for shits and giggles, but in reality there’s a purpose. Which leads us to:

***

She Will Challenge And Test You

Latinas are not shy or timid or submissive by nature. They have a mind and they’re not afraid to use it. They can use it really well to find very ingenious ways to test you. Granted, women in general will test you, but Latinas will test you to the extreme to see how you will react.

Have you ever had a girl pick a fight FOR YOU? Meaning she picks a fight with someone and then expects you to do the physical fighting for her when things go wrong? Congratulations! You’re already acquainted with dating a Latina.

Have you ever had your girl mad at you because of something you did IN HER DREAM? Have you ever had her tell you you’re wrong and that she should call her Dad or, even worse, her EX because he’ll know what to do?

Have you ever had all of these things happen to you ON THE SAME DAY? Only a Latina does that.

The reason she does that is because she wants to see your reaction. What are you going to do when she does that?

Which leads us to:

***

She Wants You To Put Her In Her Place

To put it in a more PC way, she wants you to establish boundaries. She wants to see how much she can get away with. If you don’t set boundaries, God help you. The best thing that will happen to you is that she will leave you

The worst thing that will happen to you is that she will not have any respect for you, she will treat you like shit, and she will use you until your resources are dried up.

That’s the Latina Difference (trademark pending). The reasoning behind this is:

***

She Wants You To Be A Man

A lot of things have been written about toxic masculinity. That’s not what I’m talking about. Unfortunately, too many times traditional masculinity is conflated with toxic masculinity to everyone’s detriment.

Y’all need to remember that the Latino culture is where the word “macho” comes from. In its simplest terms, it means that she expects you to:

  • Handle yourself (be able to defend yourself if necessary and keep cool and collected when shit goes down)
  • Defend her
  • Handle her (take care of her emotionally and make her feel safe to be herself)
  • Satisfy her needs (think Maslow with a heavy emphasis on sex)
  • Provide for her and her young
  • Be a role model for her young

If you can’t fill ALL of those roles, she will find someone who will.

To that end:

***

She Will Love And Defend Her Family To The Death

Before you get too excited, remember that her family equals her blood. This is the people whose blood is running through her veins (Mom, Dad, Grandmas , and Grandpas) and those that she brought into this world (Sons and Daughters).

Everyone else is disposable. If you don’t pass one of her tests in Year Ten of your relationship, you best believe you’re getting replaced.

So, you may ask, what is the bright side?

***

The Bright Side

She will never stop surprising you. Life with her will never be boring. You will be in awe of what she will do for the people she loves. She will take care of herself and take pride in herself and her looks until the day she dies. She will make you a better person in general and a better man.

It will be the ride of your life.

And the sex? As Don T says, “Uf!”

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Probably a bit late for it tonight (I was stuck in car v motorcycle traffic on 880 while 680 is closed for repaving) but maybe next week I would love to hear how you and Lady Balls met and started a’courtin (as they possibly say somewhere)

yeah right

Looks like we’re doing boots on the ground in Italy this year.

Yeah.
I can do that.

WCS

Doing a stage?

Just had a dandy of a white spot/ triple o’s burger tonight. I wonder how it measures up to those fancy American burger joints like in and out and shake shack. I’ll never know for sure

Horatio is incorrect. This is the second-greatest trophy in sports (after Lord Stanley of Preston’s Chalice):

Legendary! Bob Diaco, a disaster of a head coach, came up with that idea of his own and didn’t consult with UCF before getting it set up. UCF wanted nothing to do with it. UConn won the first one and Bob was hoisting that thing like it was The Stanley Cup.

When UCF beat UConn they apparently left the trophy behind and never acknowledged it was a thing. Then it disappeared, and to this day has never conclusively been located. A couple of possibles have turned up but then they turn out to be some sort of replica, which, why? and the original is apparently somewhere in a watery ditch on Oak Island.

This is the single greatest college football related news item of the 2010s. I’ve actively researched this before, more than once. I love it.

ppl forget that the Irish originally sided with the Nazis because of their “attack England” policy.

They stayed neutral because de Valera was a fucking prick.

Great for them, but 2-3 Big East teams are about to get the shaft as a result of these tourney upsets today.

Senor Weaselo

Hooray for anus clenching! Wait…
/Remember, getting taken out in the First Four doesn’t count

Senor Weaselo

Going by the Lunardi board Seton Hall’s out, and St. John’s are either last in or first out.

Update: First out

Since at least three of the four projected one seeds won’t win their conference tourneys, the Fightin’ Unlowratios will probably snag one.

THe Fighting Hippos just snagged someone’s at large spot for sure.

I need more plus 1s.

Senorita Weaselo’s bow is in the shop and holy hell, my bows are heavy but this is a bit of a club.

And now to sight-read Ysaye while she’s in the bathroom!

Refs are doing everything they can to keep UNC in this one. Won’t call anything on UNC no matter what.

Horatio Cornblower

UNC player: (throws wild ass hook, misses ball, clocks NC State player in the head

Refs: Looks like a common foul to us!

litre_cola

Right? Dude tried to take his head off.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t think it was deliberate, but when you wind up like that and make contact with someone’s face it has to be an F1

litre_cola

Yeah he just wanted to knock the ball back but missed wildly.

BC Dick

They should stop the game for nine minutes to make sure.

Horatio Cornblower

Second coolest trophy, (behind Lord Stanley’s Cup, of course), just dropped.

“Committed Through The Last Mile” Red Lantern Award.

Given to the last place team in the Iditarod, showing that they persisted for hundreds of miles despite knowing there was no chance they were going to win, place, or show.

As someone pointed out all the dogs think they won.

Senor Weaselo

And they didn’t even have to poorly gut a moose to win it!

Horatio Cornblower

Didn’t have to….

How a “cold blast” kerosene lantern actually works is pretty fascinating. There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye:

Cheered by original experiment to turn ginger beer from “mixer” to “everyday beverage” – I’ve started drinking Pedialyte with any salty meal/snack.

YES, I am an old.

Brick Meathook

My neighbor makes “Moscow Mules” when I visit, made with vodka, ginger beer, and fresh squeezed lime juice, with a lime garnish. They’re pretty good, but I think you can change the name to a Kiev Kicker or whatever you want.

Horatio Cornblower

Fightin’ Horatios have returned to their rightful place as Big East Champions, regular season and tournament.

Sated with regard to the Big East I am now a huge NC State fan.

Umm, watching a lot of hoops this week and there have been a shit tonne of Jesus commercials. This is new to me up here in your hat.

It’s awkward when you gotta work around the nail holes.

yeah right

My heart is so goddamn full I could fucking burst with happiness.

I got to hug and cook for and spend time with my oldest daughter and all 3 of my granddaughters today.

Now I’mma smoke one and beat Taj’s ass in a round of cribbage.

Happy!

yeah right

About that round of cribbage.
I might get skunked.

SonOfSpam

You already won (the day)

Cool thing about being in a hotel bar that is hosting an AA conference? That single ounce of McCallan you requested somehow became three ounces.

Doctor: I have some bad news about your son. I’m afraid he’s too cool.

Mom: can he… can he still go to school?

Doc: you may want to sit down for this

This is how I pass the time at Minneapolis airport, riding the complimentary carts between the two Delta Clubs. Last summer I had a six hour layover due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, and I rode back and forth about six times. I tipped the driver ten bucks a ride, and the same guy started showing up each time and he got really into being the camera car operator. I have a ton of these going through airports and I’m (slowly) processing them and I’m editing them into giant high-speed airport ride masterpiece. I smell multiple Oscars here.

Horatio Cornblower

That guy’s driving way too fast.

Based on personal experience, one’s wife/GF does not have to be Latina to be mad at you for something that happened ion her dream. Also, they seem to get madder when you laugh at how ridiculous it all is. They LOVE that.

scotchnaut

Just last week wifey was distant one morning-when she reigned in her thoughts she told me she was pissed that last night I was packing my bags and moving in with “Michelle”.

Mr. Ayo

Pics?

scotchnaut

Ms. Pfeiffer is not that kind of woman!

Saw Dune: Part 2 this afternoon. Very good. The sandworm riding scenes were awesome.

litre_cola

Did you fuck the popcorn bucket?

SonOfSpam

Stupid question. Why else go to the theater?

King Hippo

How much is popcorn and a coke now, $60 for small, $62 for extra large?

SonOfSpam

Last movie I saw in a theater was La La Land (NAWT my idea, but a delightful movie anyway). I believe back then it was one thousand dollars.

BugEyedBoo

I skipped it for Lent.

SonOfSpam

You can still fuck the popcorn bucket, but it has to be through a sheet.

Senor Weaselo

And the rabbi has to be in attendance, or so I’ve heard.

Brick Meathook

Somebody remind me: which North Carolina team should I root for? Fat guy team or the other one?

litre_cola

Fat guy team!

scotchnaut

There’s a fat guy not wearing any pants. C’mon man!

Senor Weaselo

For selfish reasons I have to root for *spits on ground* P/NC

scotchnaut

These guys beside me that are Leafs fans hanging out with their extremely uninterested female partners don’t realize they’re on a Bro Date.

they’ll know when it’s KY TIME!

Apparently this is the woman that RFK Jr. is going to name as his VP candidate. If Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard we’ll be locked in with an Asian chick of some type as Vice President.

Well, she’s no Marylin Monroe.

SonOfSpam

Oh, the one who broke up her marriage to Sergey Brin because she decided to fuck Elon Musk? Seems cool.

scotchnaut

“Fucking Elon Musk” is-

-A great name for a proto-punk band

-An evergreen comment said by the board of directors of Tesla

-A wonderful way to get SpaceX stock options on the downlow

-A pathetic attempt to get your name on a thinly-disguised rat-fucking campaign

– A way to have your future child named “Fibonacci Sequence Banana Style The Third”.

Actually too much Chinese food is actually the correct amount, you will be hungry two hours later instead of one.

I always order more for future litre too!

You know what’s the worst? When a franchise that is the personification of a shit-eating grin-the Toronto Maple Leafs-has a great idea. They’re honouring an ancient franchise (the Pats) by wearing a green and white alternate uni that doesn’t suck. Goddamn it.
