TGIF! We’re balls deep in footy and ice footy finals. Let’s get straight to it!
Survival – Personal Edition
Heading out to the bar this evening? Here’s a fun little game to get some free beers. I’m not responsible for any black eyes.
- Identify a group of bros drinking together. You want them a little tipsy, but not drunk. Again, black eye disclaimer.
- Sidle up to them, make some small talk, then propose the challenge: You can drink three (3) beers before they can drink one (1) shot. The type of shot is not at all important.
- Wait for them to pick or goad or guilt which one of the group will accept the challenge.
- Once decided, ask them to set the bet price. Once they put up a number, tell them that’s cute, but you’d prefer a real wager to induce them to bet more.
- Lay out the rules. You have to drink three (3) beers before they drink one (1) shot. You get a one (1) beer head start. Finally, each participant cannot touch the others glasses. Make sure your mark understands and can repeat the rules back to you.
- At this time, each of you need to put your wager in cash on the bar. You may need to grab and dash. Again, black eye disclaimer.
- Order the drinks. While the drinks are being prepped and served, hem and haw and try to act like you may have over promised. The goal here is for your mark to get more confident and raise the wager again.
- Now drink your first beer. Take your time here, joke around, and remind the mark there’s no time limit, and that this is part of your plan.
- Once your finish your first beer, place the glass upside down over their shot glass. Per the rules, they can’t touch your glass so you’ve won. Drink your two (2) remaining beers, then pocket the money.
- Be gracious in victory! Once finished, remove your glass so they can have their shot. Then offer to buy a round for the group out of your winnings. Again, black eye disclaimer.
Hopefully you just made some new bar friends, got some free beer, and avoided the ER for your actions.

That EP is my favorite industrial album. Peak NIN.
It’s great. But I still like the Fixed EP more
So much fun

Strapons are okay, right?
weird to say, but I missed a lot of great shows in Florida back about 15 years ago

I was like 14 or 15 when Trainspotting came out, but I was taking a community college class and went to see it at premiere with a normal community college aged chick and some of her older friends. She somehow had a bunch of typewriters in the back of her car that I ended up sitting on when I got a ride home. Really curious what that was all about
This came out when I was in college in NYC. What a night that was before, during, and after. I’ll never do heroin, but I’ll always dream about it.
I sorta accidentally did heroin lite when I got some bad E at Woodstock 99
I shot up with Santa and there are supposed to be stories but some don’t want to be on the record.
I shot up with Santa
That’s a life lived right there.
This little thread has gone to very interesting places.
Everyone loves sandwiches. That’s not that interesting.
Full moon Friday night.
The adjective “bad” seems to be rather subjective here.
Fuck, let me get my headphones.
Indeed. Had mine on for a few hours now.

In recent completely pointless rankings Maryland was the third happiest state! Utah was first though, and that’s creepy Mormon happiness so nawt sure it counts. So really Maryland is second happiest after Hawaii.
Hawaii is definitely at or near the top.
My Utah experiences are very mixed.
There was a greyhound trip, ROUND trip between California and the Quad Cities that stopped in Salt Lake and I just wanted to smoke one and it turned into a really weird walking down an alley next to a greyhound station kind of weird.
There was a hotel with a wash basin in the room and a shared bathroom down the hall and all I wanted to do was get high.
There was no assault upon my dignity or nothing, they were both just down on their luck stoners.
Just very fucking weird.
St. George is very nice and that drive up on the I whatever through the 36 national parks is fucking gorgeous.
Louisiana is my choice for happiest state.
I seem to recall it was Colorado for a long time
I’ve always had fun in Colorado.
You have to see a show at Red Rocks.
This happened in the year of our Lord 1979.
Late December if memory serves.
Hello friends.
I’m actually pretty happy with the new kid in the shop.
She’s a worker. My new number 1 is on vacation in Vegas and she really stepped up this place.
Happy Friday motherfuckers.
Glad you found a good person for the job, although gotta say it must be great to be a young and have you as a boss, only an ass would slack off
Thank you.
It’s a really fun work place.
Definitely a different dynamic.
And now I run the whole goddamn building.

Haven’t heard this one in ages Oversaturated lighting was very grunge aesthetic
Interesting. I’m color blind so never noticed that aspect.
I’m guessing it would show up as a certain sort of flared blurriness?
It’s not blurry, it’s just all subdued. For me just red and green, they all look black in the dark and grey in the light. Other coloUrs are fine.
Ah, so you were the people the NFL forgot about when they did the Red/Green ‘color rush’ Thursday night game
Haha, yes! What a bunch of bullshit that was.
There’s a video of guys jumping over a moving freight train on snowboards set to this song.

McJesus will need seven Games to resurrect the Oilers.
Lady number 8 has been waiting too long. Retro chick here is my humble contribution to the spectacular Mr Ayo event we get here each week.
Though #6 would have been your first choice, but #8 was 2nd on the list.
They are both very sweet, but 8 is so well dressed.
remember no matter who wins game 7, the calgary flames lose
Sure, but how does each team’s victory affect the Leaf’s draft and offseason?
Found a funny:
“Can’t eat this 7 course breakfast mom, it’s clearly noon outside so I’m running late for school, don’t want to miss my whole two classes, science and gym.”
-80s movies
[laughs off blatant sex crime]
Love that Bettman has to fly again this series
You know, I would have enjoyed this more if it were Boston on principle, but team that eliminated you is also a fair mix.
I’ve been traveling my home state quite a but this week. Circle K gave us fleet refillable cups (because Stanley is a girl’s brand now?) and I like my periodic stops in middle of fucking scrub desert Arizona.
I’m white. I drive a truck. I am traditional. But for my ability to speak clearly, they might think I were one of their own. So I go in, piss, refill my cup, buy a bunch of candy, chat and make some joke about whatever.
Look, my story ain’t important. Because I just keep my mouth shut and I’ll be mega-fine under Trump’s end of the modern day republic. But for the rest of you —
Trump gonna win.
I’m gonna sink my resources into cans of beans. No amount of enforcing the Comstock act, withdrawing from international trade, or destroying the base of social security will devalue my beans!
-Jim Tomsula, on investment advice
Yup
I bet one of the most fun things you can do in Ohio is binge drink with the Amish.
In other news, I should go get the mail, but pants. Dilemna.
They drink? Like their own graf?
The really fun ones do.
Apparently it’s quite common, they farm various crops of varying legality as well
Ok. What is the Hawk Tuah meme and should I care or no?
Not really, but for us track peeps it is funny.
I saw this and have now investigated further and discovered it has nothing to do with hawks or Tua
Wait, WTF is that? Stupid internet.
It’s just all sorts of combinations of things that are phonetically similar to a chick talking about spitting on a dude’s dick with the phrase ‘hawk tuah’ on some trashy interview show
Oh, this goes much deeper than I realized. (Pun not intended)
Pun not intended but appreciated nonetheless
They’ll make McJesus the King of Canadia!

I haven’t seen someone from Florida get curb-stomped like this since Ron DeSantis
it was a self-curb-stomping
florida should totally blame DEI for this collapse
its been 31 years since a canadian team won the stanley cup and a million years since a team won a cup after going down 0-3
law of averages seems to want to kill two birds with one stone here
More fun that way!
Habs last Canadian team to win the cup. Think they won like 10 games in a row after being down 3 games in the opening round of the playoffs
Not quite.
They were down 0-2 in the first round to Quebec, then won 11 games in a row — four to eliminate the Nordiques, swept the Sabres, and went up 3-0 on the Islanders before dropping a game.
They also won 10 overtime games in a row that year.
Thanks. Too lazy to look it up that crazy run
Who’s running this joint? Approve me (please).
Your welcome
You are a true American hero.
I may have never stepped foot on a submarine, but I was solicited to pilot a nuclear one. I of course left that opportunity to braver and better men than me.
environmentalists: our oil/fossil fuel usage is going to melt the ice and have florida go underwater by 2074
nhl: we can speedrun that!
Is there a way we could still have Florida underwater with no damage or harm any where else?
Ah dumb bar bets, good fun.
Had an interview today, think it went pretty well, although I believe there is one more round after this one.
Job is hybrid in Chicago, so could actually save some money by giving up my CA place and flying back every weekend for horseback
Best of luck on the Chicago gig.
Thank you!
Time to get ‘er dumb ma’am…

Post and in!
GAME 7! MONDAY NIGHT! UPDATE YOUR CALENDARS!
Wait, hold on.
ICE VAR!!!!
Think it’s offside
That’s too close to overturn IMO. But not in their’s and that’s all that matters.
Yep glad that’s nawt my jorb
Checking VAR
Who has better food? Peru or Chile?
I would say Perú for the variety although Chilean sea bass is pretty good.
Yum.
Well they eat guinea pigs in Peru so…
Better than being overrun by them. Noisy things.
always go with the country that sounds like a food
Good strategy.
Peruvian food is fucking delicious.
Both good, but different. Do you like hot dogs? If yes Chile, if no Peru
if Canada was a real country, they’d have more than one company big enough to sponsor their sprots arenas.
The other companies are too polite to intrude
That was quick. Oilers score.
DRILL BABY DRILL, SO IT IS WRITTEN
Holy Bananas! Oilers score.
Numéro UNO !
How do I know that Ruby is my dog?
The SIL brought her gregarious canine over and Ruby did the play thing for a bit and eventually ran upstairs to my alcove to get away from the other dog. She’s got a limited window for interacting with others of her species just like her old man.
Peru and Chile should apologize for playing like CONCACAF sides so far. Maybe just trying to be good guests?
Ukraine won their match against Slovakia
2-1
That’s Rocking!
Whelp, at 58 years of age a completely new experience – my first use of a bidet, an automated one, while very stoned, and still trying to figure out how to control what ever the fuck is happening here. My sphincter is still feeling very clean.
I’m less concerned with the wetting as I am the drying.
You still dab dry with paper, the warm air feels nice but takes ages to actually dry.
