Monday Night Thread – Smoke’m if you got ’em or talk amongst yourselves

Evening, fine night if you like living in tropical weather.  Gonna get hot here in the south, but unlike Arizona, we will have very high humidity.  I do not like tropical weather, it sucks as I always prefer to be too cold over too hot, I can do more about too cold.  Which is why we are looking at cold to cooler places for retirement and they have to have legalized recreational weed, because I would prefer to be legally stoned all day rather than illegally.  Just makes the day go easier, anyway I am projecting cause I am out and will have to wait till Friday to restock as we are driving up to DC for something of my wifes that requires my presence.  Behind every great woman is a lazy man who just wants to get stoned, at least that is my belief.

Anyway, no Warhammer again, as I just cannot come up with any interest in Warhammer lately, either the lore or anything, not sure if that is because of a interest in the subject or just the general ennui of a depressive.  I have been looking for something to try and peak my interest again, and I have started watching some of the footy matches and will continue to do so for both the Euros and the Copa.

I know I have only touched on a small part of the lore, but there is so much more to it especially since it is being added to every day with more news.  Another Primarch has returned to the embrace of the Imperium and will probably be appalled by what he sees.  It appears the Emperor is starting to stir on his throne, will he return as a human or as an actual god for humanity.  Much is still hidden and either result will cause a shit storm in the Imperium.  Can you imagine the Emperor waking up, seeing what has been done to his dream, and then cutting the heads off the members of the Ecclesiarchy?  I wonder how wet a member of the Sisters would be with actually meeting their Emperor?  I would think it would be like one of the early Beatles concerts, with women rushing the stage.

Knowing the Inquisition, he would probably be condemned as a heretic, but can you be a heretic if you don’t worship yourself as a god?  If your god walks in front of you, does that change your belief, because I have always heard “Proof denies faith”, so if your god walks in front of you – do you no longer believe in him?  Oh well, arguments about that question will have to wait till I get restocked because philosophy is better to discuss stoned.

I know there is baseball tonight as well as some footy games somewhere so your sports needs can be sated.

Oh, and I found this for a very interesting watch.

Pretty sure that Peyton Pritchard’s halfcourt shot right before the halftime buzzer is the worst long range shot the city of Dallas has ever witnessed.

TheRevanchist

I think Sportscenter forgot the Giants won tonight. And Mookie Betts is out for 4 to 6 weeks with a broken hand. Good day for the Giants in many ways!

Brick Meathook

I work in the Los Angeles County motion picture industry, and we consider ourselves to be the best of the best.

Here’s a movie though:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSLMN6g_Od4

Doktor Zymm

Subaru commercial. A couple rappels a short distance, jumps maybe 3 meters into deep water, and looks at a cow. Slogan ‘living life on the edge’. Really uncertain as to whether this is supposed to be tongue in cheek

Doktor Zymm

Old school memes were way more enduring. Do kids nowadays know who Lizzie Borden was?

Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one

Horatio Cornblower

Due to home renovations I had to empty my office and switch everything to the basement, which included disconnecting two TVs in order to ensure wifi access for the house.

Truly I live in hell. (ignores everything going on literally everywhere else on the planet)

Anyhoodles, I just noticed an enormous spider scurrying around the basement and have decided to not tell Mrs. Horatio about it, on the theory that the renovations should be done by the end of the week, but her burning the house to ashes is forever.

Doktor Zymm

Spiders eat mosquitoes and all other manner of more annoying insect. They are our friends mostly as long as they aren’t brown recluses

Horatio Cornblower

I am firmly in the ‘save spiders and relocate them as necessary” camp, while Mrs. Horatio is just as firmly in the “burn everything they’ve touched to the ground and sow the earth with salt” camp.

I have been able to enact a “no spiders are killed if I’m around to relocate them” statute, which is far more good than the US Congress has been able to do in the last 30 years or so.

Doktor Zymm

Well done! The UN is legit envious of your efficaciousness in the matter of the spider cease fire

Gumbygirl

Gumby got bitten by one of those years ago, mowing the grass. He kept mowing, then he finally came in the house all sweaty and pale and said he couldn’t see. I have never driven so fast in my life, it was like the French Connection or Bulitt.

Brick Meathook

I am quite sure that submarine veteran Gumby is “solid as Sears” (for whatever that’s worth). I forgot what I was talking about. I did two seasons on mowed grass lawns, and it was either playing Little League baseball or mowing the field.

Doktor Zymm

Damn! Those things are serious. Webcomic author I used to read got bit by one and now his picture is in the wikipedia entry for necrotizing flesh

Doktor Zymm

Also, good on you for the stunt driving. Usually not fatal but can be and absolutely the best reaction

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nothing upsets Stephen Miller more than brown recluses. You’d think they would do him the courtesy of being out in the open, where they can be spotted and deported more easily.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Dr. Mrs. noticed a wasps nest under construction and got mad at *me* me because I didn’t notice it before she did.

Doktor Zymm

From the same meadery I was talking about before, have now tried their Meadarita flavor and their Root of Evil (ginger flavor). Both good, but the ginger is amazing

Doktor Zymm

What is it about Boston? Yes, it’s a kinda crappy city full of racist poor white trash, but we have lots of those. Yes it’s historic, but again, no more so than other North American cities. They’ve had an influx of tech/biotech money recently, but Boston fans were obnoxiousfar before that. Is it just that they’ve managed to have successful sports franchises frequently over the years (through no actual merit of their own) and that’s amplified all their negative characteristics in a way that hasn’t happened elsewhere?

Horatio Cornblower

“Is it just that they’ve managed to have successful sports franchises frequently over the years (through no actual merit of their own) and that’s amplified all their negative characteristics in a way that hasn’t happened elsewhere?”

Yes. And also Ben Affleck.

TheRevanchist

And a few Wahlburgs, which are worse than an Affleck.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, at least their burgers are overpriced crap.

Gumbygirl

I had one at a casino. Meh.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Way worse.

Though to his credit Donny has done some pretty solid acting – The Sixth Sense and Band of Brothers comes to mind. And Mark was great in Boogie Nights, but that’s more a product of Paul Thomas Anderson being some kind of goddamed wizard.

Hey man, I’m sleeping with a Connecticut real estate agent; I can hook you up.

To be clear, with real estate. I’ve got enough issues with Lowratio already.

Doktor Zymm

I like the phrase ‘a woman of loose morals’ and I am proud that I would have been considered as such in the past

TheRevanchist

And, yet, you would still be considered a prude in Balls’ circle.

Doktor Zymm

Most modern women would have been ‘of loose morals’ back in the day so I’m aware it doesn’t mean much but still sounds awesome

I’m sorry jerry

Ok, running clock time.

Walking past Wrigley and it sounds like the Small Bears are doing well

They really did a nice job with the renovations, this is hopping on a Monday night

Did you yell at them that Hippo sez they’s Bastard Men???

Doktor Zymm

Next time I walk by I will let them know that an imaginary semi-aquatic mammal that runs a futbol team a couple centuries in the future said they are Bastard Men. I will also buy you a Cocaine Bear Cubs shirt.

King Hippo

REAL TALK. Hippo feels so SEEN.

Don’t forget hippo has two faces

There’s the aquatic mammal lawyer as we know…..

Based on the suggestions from this column, I’m currently reading the first book of Gaunt’s Ghosts and enjoying it. Thanks for the recommendation

Just wait until you get to Necropolis, it’s really good.

G’day mates! Got me Taz Devils jumper in the post today. Suns out, guns out now. Right proper recco on upsizing. Fits me tummy-rubby perfectly now.

ballsofsteelandfury

Sweet!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah I’m very glad I went up a size.

How great is the “Founding Member” label both inside and on the back? Made me feel like a part of the team.

King Hippo

I learned always to do that with British (read – Everton) stuff. Their “XL” is basically a sausage casing on me. One assumes that applies to the rest of the Commonwealth.

TheRevanchist

One of my Wrexham jerseys may fit someday if I lose 50 lbs.

Horatio Cornblower

Lesser Footy jerseys in general seem to be a size too small.

Which reminds me, someone seems to have stolen that sweet-ass Mexican Lesser Footy ‘Day of the Dead’ jersey I bought. All I remember was that it was purple and had skulls on it. And now I’m super-pissed again.

ballsofsteelandfury

LOWRATIO!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Oh shit. That little son of a bitch!

Mr. Ayo

Those labels are awesome!

They have a thing on their website where they show pictures and a map of where the Tassie guernseys have been spotted in the wild.

I bet they’ll be freaked out by how many different places in the US have them!

Did I miss something, or did Bill Belichek go undrafted in the coaching thread?

I was gonna take him, but I kept trading down into later rounds for more picks.

ballsofsteelandfury

Undrafted

Horatio Cornblower

I thought about him but based on before and after I’m pretty convinced that his success was far more related to Tom Brady, (and cheating), than Tom Brady’s success was to Bill.

Mr. Language Person says you ‘pique’ your interest. Peak/peek/pique. And there is a hyphen in ‘anal-retentive’.

Dude was a gentleman, “Here litre, take the rest of these edibles, I am going to bed.”

Horatio Cornblower

I spent parts of two days with him and never noticed him getting high.

Possibly because I was distracted by the enormous amount of time Mrs. Horatio was devoted to getting high, but considering she was dealing with several of us running amok in Baltimore I can’t really blame her.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So my youtube feed has a video of an AFL team’s historic 52-point comeback, but doesn’t mention who they did it against. So you can imagine my sense of sinking dread until I remembered that Essendon is on a bye, so thankfully it’s not them.

blaxabbath

It was the Falcons.

ballsofsteelandfury

Wait until Wednesday!

Doktor Zymm

I kinda hate it when emails that are moving me on to the next round of interviews start with ‘Thank you for’ because that’s all I see in the preview and that’s how all rejection emails start

This is why I never show insincere appreciation
