Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

Look at them dogs having an exchange of opinion. Does it remind you of anything that might be on later this evening? I don’t plan on watching but morbid curiousity has gotten the best of me before. I’m sure the comment section will be rocking this evening.

HA!:

The NFL got dinged a heady 4.7 billion in an antitrust lawsuit regarding overcharging for DirectTV fees. The plaintiffs argued that the league is filled with a bunch of conniving money-hungry liars and what do you know, a jury of their non-peers agreed. (perhaps someone can explain what’s going on here down below) Of course the NFL will be appealing.

Close Call:

Free agent Randall Cobb nearly paid the ultimate price of playing for the Jets last year-karma is a thing you know-when his house caught fire. The source of the conflagration was a Tesla charger that burst into flames and eventually engulfed the house. I smell burnt rubber and LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT!

Shut Up!:

So we had a contractor in our house this week doing a few things. Why? Because I can barely change a lightbulb, that’s why. He had been there for a few days before I met him yesterday for the first time. So on his way out the door and apropos of nothing he starts going on about Trudeau being fired from his job as a teacher because he was banging an underager but the media won’t talk about it. And Trump was railroaded. I just met him two hours earlier. What the hell happened to trite exchanges about the weather or sports? Fuck sakes.

Sprots:

Panama is beating the US 1-1 as I write this. Later on Uruguay will tackle Bolivia. Maybe there’s more NBA draft to watch, I don’t know.

Take it away, muchachos.

I hate Donald Trump, but my goodness is Joe Biden an old man.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, here’s the thing about your Trudeau item. Teachers don’t get fired unless they bang a student. That’s just facts.

Mr. Ayo
SonOfSpam

Ok, yeah, I just posted that pretty much.

And it’s VERY believable.

A cold?! My father looks more lively than him and he’s in mid to late stage ALS!

Horatio Cornblower

Years ago I managed to combine Lyme disease with a howling case of poison ivy and my fever was so bad I literally shit the bed and I promise you that, during that entire ordeal, I could string three sentences together more coherently than Biden just did.

What I’m saying is, that’s one hell of a cold.

King Hippo

I am not watching, and will not watch. Western Civilization was on borrowed time anyway, let’s just nuke the shit out of Putin and rip the bandaid off. Time’s up, folks.

What do you think? Are we roughly the equivalent of 150 AD in the Roman Empire?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s starting to feel more like Constantine’s reign (around 320 AD) – the Christians are taking over, the seat of government will probably be moved (to fucking Florida)…

So, the only issue I can see with putting popsicles in the vagina to cool off is the sugar content.

Just plain ice should be fine.

Horatio Cornblower

Well the warnings don;’t say anything about ice, now do they?

Anyway, your movie’s probably fine.

ballsofsteelandfury

My movie puts it in the butt.

But no one makes ads about THAT option!

This is like the 1960 debate. On the radio, Biden wins. On the television, Biden loses.

skipping the debate to watch a wnba game on a shitty local channel that is broadcasting green acres right now and the last time they broadcasted a game it was in 360p

The morals of an alley cat! Hah. Biden coming up on thr middle rounds.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s such a dated reference though. Who under 50 gets that?

Redshirt

Biden sounds good. His mind is still there.

But when it comes to appearance and body language, it’s a disaster.

Horatio Cornblower

And that’s what matters to the American public. The stupid, short-sighted American public.

He looks like a corpse.

If you got Biden’s wax figure out of Madame Tussaud’s out to the podium it’d be an improvement.

Horatio Cornblower

My joke about Biden shivving Trump is rapidly becoming his only hope. But I seriously doubt he’s got the stamina to do it.

Redshirt

By optics only, it doesn’t look good.

Horatio Cornblower

Against my better judgment I have wandered into the other room and watched some of it.

I don’t trust Biden to finish this debate on his feet, let along run the country for 4 years. Still gonna vote for him, though, because the other guy is nothing more than America’s raging id.

We are so totally fucked as a society.

If this was a baseball game, the long reliever would be in the bullpen frantically warming up while the game is still within reach.

Horatio Cornblower

Two years too late. Democrats will have some half-ass excuse come November, but their commitment to a gerontocracy is going to bite us all in the ass.

Even you Canadiens.

fleshwound_NPG

stopped voting 8 years ago after that fucker won because i knew democracy was at the beginning of the end. have been vindicated ever since.

at least hillary did not get locked up, bernie is still coherent, and klobuchar would have thrown a stapler at trump’s head by now. never underestimate the power of the democrats to somehow fuck up a softball pitch.

them losing 1980 and the next dozen years after that, just a handful of years after nixon, taught the world that the dems only own a broken watch that’s right once every other decade

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Uruguay already up 2-0. That’s probably good for the U.S., maybe they will phone things in on Monday and the U.S. can steal a win.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It says “sign in required”.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, Bluesky is a pain in the ass about that. Hang on.

Finally.

Side-note, I am truly stunned by how many of these ads there are. This seems to be the world’s least-discussed problem.

Redshirt

Still at work. Did Trump show up or did the GOP finally pull a Dave a replaced him with a far better body double?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They actually pre-empted the Copa game on Telemundo for it, so I caught a glimpse and he was running his stupid asshole mouth like always.

Horatio Cornblower

Mrs. Horatio has the debate on in the other room. About to put on a video game and blow shit up so I don’t have to listen to it, but in the 3 minutes I just endured Trump was yelling about the Founders and what they’d do about abortion “if they knew about it” and buddy if you don’t think they knew how to throw a pregnant woman down a flight of stairs in 1776 I don’t know what to tell you.

Don T

I think Biden is saving himself for an actual [clears throat] for dramatic effect.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not watching the debate, but if Biden happens to lean over and shiv Trump a dozen times or so, then says “I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of Presidential immunity for all crimes” someone let me know.

Redshirt

“Give me a Life Sentence. By the time my appeals run out, it’ll be as long as a misdemeanor!”

Don’t ask me how I got them, but I got each campaign’s goals for tonight:

Trump: “I am not Benito Mussolini.”
Biden: “I am not Jimmy Carter.”

Trump MEANS IT, too.

*he’d never be some greaseball who’d let his enemies hang him, now a STRONG LEADER like Hitler or Putin….

The Yankees are self-destructing so totally that they just fucked up a call to the bullpen.

Redshirt

Did a pizza delivery person show up to the mound?

Horatio Cornblower

Boone started out to the mound, Rodon waved him off, Boone went back to the dugout, the reliever, who had run out of the bullpen, had to turn around and run back.

It is 9-2 Toronto. Still undecided on what this means for the Leafs.

The Panamaniacs could – COULD – be the only CONCACAF side to advance. How delicioso would that be??

Pearl Harbor wasn’t an embarrassment. It was an attack on our homeland that ended with us unapologetically nuking them twice.

This is where I would point out a generation raised on Facebook instead of field trips to museums will probably be ignorant on many matters more important than the nuances of war. But negative comments don’t move #limerita ads so I’ll just shut up and mind my own business.

Nuts to that. The world needs to hear more from the blax!

New plan, instead of steering away from drugs let’s go the other way. Each candidate does a line of cocaine at 9:00. Then we sit back and see who these entitled pricks really are.

I wholly expect at least one call tonight about “BIDEN ON MAH TEEVEE”

Encourage them to “do it, pussy; you won’t”

Yesterday a general attempted a coup in Bolivia and the elected President called everyone to go out on the streets and stop the military. Which happened; by today the general was detained and shown on TV.
So I’m worried for Uruguay. Plus, the modern CIA waits until your coup wins THEN steps in. These Gen X generales don’t know history.

I’m all for cursory chatting instead of foisting political / personal stuff upon meeting. That’s intrusive “Imma see what yer made of” crap. Hey, we’re not dating OK?

I would tell your contractor that his services are no longer needed and find someone else. I am so tired of people vomiting their political thoughts on me.
