Rainy Days and Mondays a Carpentered open threada

It is Monday,  but not raining unfortunately.  No Warhammer tonight as I totally forgot and also had a bunch of meetings and since I am working on becoming a stoned slacker for the rest of my life I had nothing ready.  Meh, you get what you pay for.

I have a question about the song ” McCathur Park” – why the hell has it been covered more than one?  Richard Harris, Waylon Jennings, Frank Sinatra, and so, so many more and none of them are good.  So why?  Ugh, the reason this hit me was listening to Waylon Jennings and hearing his version, and it sucked as well.

 

Well there is dirt football and ice football tonight I am pretty sure.

I went to the NCAA Women’s Tournament, and a hockey game broke out.

I can’t believe the crap that young people use the internet for today. Don’t they know it should be used for HIGH CULTURE AND SCIENCE like this?

It’s sad that the urge to just remix whatever the fuck they could when electronic music started out eventually faded. This is only one of several Sesame street remixes. Going with the stoner version in tribute to our stoners here. Think I might go have a gummy myself!

I don’t think too deeply on the anatomy of giant talking birds. They got their secrets, I got mine.

Some people would question LSU fouling down 11 with 49 seconds left, but a Kim Mulkey team never quits. They’ll be litigating this loss and finding missed points and fouls for months.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should have petitioned the New York Supreme Court to cut the deficit down by 2/3.

“The loser goes home, the other goes to Cleveland!”

Sooo, you’re telling me that both teams are going to lose?

Rebecca Lobo could use a half dozen milkshakes, stat.

I could as well, but that’s because I’m a disgusting pig.

Is she related to SHERIFF LOBO? – H Simpson

Gotta love Thechno house remixes of popular Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals. THECHNO!

I know the mp3 is a compressed format, but wow it is so much better sound quality than Youtube. Also have this as ‘Harikari’ rather than ‘Harajuku’ in my filename. Guessing both are wrong. THECHNO!

ballsofsteelandfury

Okay, this is crazy. I have this one too!

Did I download all my music from you on Napster?

There are many?? I listened to the official broadway soundtrack way too much as a small chile (like 8-10) so an entire cd is a bit mind blowy

fleshwound_NPG

“this has been a well officiated game.”

I’ll take “Things Never True About A Women’s College Basketball Game” for $1400, Alex.

Mulkey desperately pleading with Mike Pence to make the right call.

IIRC, I bought this CD at a shop on South Street in Philly my Junior year in high school because some dude I only knew for the day and thought was cute recommended it. No idea what his name was or what happened to him, but he had good taste.

Scotchy! Your hunting grounds home town is Kraft hockeyville for 2024!

scotchnaut

Don’t live there any longer but it’s so huge for the community. I played hockey at that arena when the town couldn’t afford a Zamboni. If a shoveler didn’t show up, players had to grab one and clear the ice during intermission.

Fronkenshteen

Just figured out who Kim Mullkey looks like. Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank from “Strangers With Candy”.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, she is a user and abuser of players, and if Iowa can just not do anything stupid over the next 4-5 minutes, Mulkey will be a loser as well.

Gumby’s football coach when we were in high school was a man naned Jerry Blank.

Gumbygirl

Named, for fuck’s sake!

Doktor Zymm

Oh, so instead of doing anything productive about my unemployment inspired ennui, I’m gonna get drunk and listen to songs I enjoyed in my first couple years of college. I have them mostly on (free aka stolen) mp3 which I can’t share, so here’s hoping the porn remix of speed racer still exists on the internet somewhere!

Gaddamn! Well done, past you who obtained that on CD!

Clark needs to drill one here from never never land.

that far enough?

There it is.

So, turns out searching for music by “Steel Porn Rhino” is filled with all the dangers you might suspect if you don’t use quotes. Humanity is disguisting.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t find it odd that a Dwarven Battle Rhino would also be a Steel Porn Rhino. Those seem like complementary careers!

Horatio Cornblower

Kim Mulkey hasn’t been this upset by poor executions since Ashlii Babbitt tried to climb through that window.

/tips hat to Scotchnaut

scotchnaut

Ha! Quadruple-teaming Reese worked out that last possession.

Brick Meathook

At my high school, if you were to ever walk on the basketball court in “street shoes,” the freshman P.E. teacher (an old WWII marine and player on the 1940 NCAA champ team) would smack you in the head.

I can’t even imagine what old Mister Zimmer would do if he saw spiky high heels on his treasured court.

litre_cola

He would be shocked the women folk are even there!

Doktor Zymm

Or trans ladies (who weigh more and wear higher heels, resulting in extreme point force on the gym floor)!

scotchnaut

“There’s a broader audience than usual.”

Announcer Ryan Ruocco, far more correct than he intended

Brick Meathook

I’ve noticed the commercials for kitchen cleaning products.

If this score holds Mulkey can always go back to her first love: skinning Dalmatian puppies to make a coat.

litre_cola

Why do I feel the next game is just going to be a shit kicking as this one is so good.

Horatio Cornblower

I have no idea how good USC is but UConn is playing with about 6 healthy players. At some point that’s going to catch up to them.

scotchnaut

Iowa has to get this lead as big as possible because you know LSU is going to come back.

Kim Mulkey on the replay making the traveling motion to show what she was doing on Jan. 6.

Rumor has it she gave Ashley Babbit the best pre-game speech ever.

“THIS COULD BE YOUR ONLY SHOT, YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT!!”

I think Clark might be “feeling it” right now.

You have to pick Clark up on D at the locker room door.

…and that’s when the zoning commission meeting started.

litre_cola

That was an awesome 1st half.

scotchnaut

My pre-game notion was that Clark had score 35+ and someone else had to get to between 20-25 in order for Iowa to advance. It’s just barely tracking so far.

scotchnaut

Mulkey’s Enraged Cleavage has the right idea-she’s crowding Clark so Iowa’s secondary scorer’s have to hit their three’s.

Horatio Cornblower

All of Mulkey’s ideas are from the right.

scotchnaut

“I come from a long line of Mulkey’s” is something that no one has ever said/bragged about.

Horatio Cornblower

The NCAA has given the women the waterlogged balls to go with the randomly drawn 3-pt lines.

That’s nice.

litre_cola

This is a boat race. More scoring than an entire Hawkeyes Football season.

Horatio Cornblower

Iowa football and low scoring games: a tradition unlike any other.

The only MacArther Park cover that matters.

I’ve mentioned it before but one year in high school we hosted a tourney and everyone’s warm-up music was MacArthur Park. It was on repeat all day Saturday.

I don’t know if I should plus one that or not.

I don’t want part of me to end up in the lake you “share” with others.

Gimme a +1 and I’ll show you how to hogtie a drifter behind a truck stop in three easy steps.

My best friend (the cellist) is from the Albany area, and I don’t know if I’ve ever made the steamed hams joke with her.

I think Stuelke has to have a 20+ point game in order to offset Reese’s production.
