Are you back, and ready for MOAR? Fucking of course y’all are. First, an obligatory weather note:
City of Men (now with 100% less Rodri) visit Geordie Arabia nice and early (7:30, USA). I’m not committing to waking early, given all the ballwashing Bonesaws FC tends to get – especially in matches like this. But it should be competitive.
At 10:00, USA is showing Beesus/Hammers. No, I don’t understand why, neither. Trashbirds away to Chelski (Peacock) is the best streaming option. Though I will obviously be watching Very Disappointing Everton host Palace. FFS, don’t scary away the Friedkin Group with how disappointing y’all are!
You’ll not be watching the Spotlight Dance, and Sunday starts mediocre-like, before closing with a decent Men Untied/Spursy clash (11:30, USA).
To the JV gridiron!
Kenfucky (+16) at Ole Miss (Noon, ABC)
Say what yew will about Johnny Reb, but they bring it with the eye candy. Just don’t fast forward that mental picture 10 years (of lard and mayonaisse). About that time in every season when folk start to wonder if Lane Kiffin’s Kooky Krew will finally crest that hill. And presumably make a deal with God.
BDSM State (+5) at Unded Bill Snyders (Noon, ESPN)
They might be unded now, but they won’t be if they follow last week’s Original Recipe Big Love spanking with another “L” here. The BDSM folks are also desperate for a win, having just lost at home to Secular Big Love.
Original Recipe Big Love (+3) at BayBay (Noon, FS1)
Stormin’ Mormons, welcome to your trap game. Unless the Consent Abstinent are completely checked out after that brutal beat (both end of regulation and OT) in Boulder.
Louisville (+7) at Notre Dame (3:30, Peacock)
Louisville is a complete fraud, and sadly you’ll see proof of concept this week. Meh.
Pig Sooey (+5.5) at Bonfire Cult (3:30, ESPN)
The winner of this one can still get their season kinda-sorta back on track. They are both extremely flawed, but not without decent athleticism. Call it the Cromulence Bowl. Hey, gotta watch something.
Colorado (+14) at Hitler Mice (3:30, Fox)
Gross, the Fightin’ Primes are the GOOD GUYS this week? Also, this line seems remarkably high to me. What have the Hitler Mice proven, this season or really in EVAR?
Miramar air show happening over my house right now. The cats are not happy
I used to work right there just north of Miramar road. We watched the Blue Angels practice for a couple of days right from our parking lot at work.
Just finished work. Time to finish up some chores and get ready for the big game!
Today is International Rabbit Day, for our bun keeping friends!
I made a lovely pork roast with mashed potatoes, gravy and roasted carrots.
If I had known I could have roasted a bunny instead.
Life is too short to miss these types of golden opportunities.
I sets them up, you knocks them down!
Supposed to be 100F here on Tuesday. Autumn is NOT doing its job, good thing I’ll be out of town most of the week, just have to sweat through Wednesday
We’re only supposed to hit 80 so that’s something.
The first morning in Dublin was 37. That’s more than enough fall for me.
A Preseason Top 10 fading hard and fading fast? USC is going to fit into the Big 10 just fine!
Well, this comment aged like moldy bread.

More spots for foreign millionaires, I guess
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. They’re are no more frontiers. The overtaking of the weakest communities is the natural order.
Look who’s here! Are you mad at me?
Mark McKinney busted my gut a few decades ago and I’ll always appreciate him for that. But now he’s got a silly thing on CTV that he’s trying to get off the ground and he and the production company that is fronting this project is relying on him being hilarious the same way he was 30 years ago? Gah?
/I try my best to recycle but I draw the line at Marvel movies and KITH-adjacent vehicles
I could imagine a character like Buddy Cole becoming a reactionary, but I don’t want to *see* it.
For us dummies in the back of the room; what is KITH?
Kids in the hall. The recent season was good

Lane Kiffin going for it on 4th and 7 from midfield and throwing for a 48 yard touchdown to take the lead 16-13. I wish the guy wasn’t such a dick so I could root for him.
The mighty Reds back on top of the EPL table.
Back from swimming lessons and errands. I feel I have earned a couch nap.
Ole Miss cheer squad going with “The Stroke”. Quite a choice.
Some husband and wife duo dropped by unannounced-they didn’t get the memo that wifey and I (more so me) are very private folks. Does the husband have the balls to come up and visit me in my lair? I’m guessing no.
Wifey’s Sister [Christmas get-together 2022]: “People think that because of what you both do that you’re both intimidating figures.”
Me/Wifey: [look at each other] “Whaaa…?”
Wait…your wife shares your, uh, “hobby”?
the couple that slays together STAYS together ppl forget that
I thought it was “preys together” but same difference I guess.
I mean, you can’t really be “intimidating” when your target never sees you coming.
Wait, Navy/UAB is the Gumby Derby, yeah? Hide the steak knives!!
It’s the “EDIBLES FOR EVERYONE BOWL”!
Gumby celebrated by getting tickets to the Coast Guard-Birmingham Southern game.
Don’t tell Gumbygirl, it’s surprise.
OSU with a sweet flea flicker
And they follow up with a pick

Wolven Sort would TOTES be competitive in the MAC. Good to keep in mind, for future reference.
Fightin’ Horatios up 10-0 on Buffalo early.
Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl here we come!!
K State at OSU has started out as an entertaining contest.
I ran the water to wash the dishes and let them soak. I was going to get to it but wifey got there first-as is the way with her people.*
*women
When I first moved in with the now Mrs. DM lo these many years ago, I would put a glass down and head to the refrigerator for another beverage and my glass would be in the sink by the time I returned. She has mellowed over the years, but there is still no such thing as me soaking dishes here, just a sigh or a dirty look as she finishes the job. Apparently I have some other attributes and when I figure out what those are I will try to emphasize them.
Mrs. DM: [talking to her friends during a three Bellini brunch] “He has his flaws but he can matriculate down my field, if you know what I mean.”
Friends: [looking at each other] “OOHHH!!!!”
Uh, has anyone heard from Armed & Hammered? Doesn’t he live in western NC?
https://x.com/nikoliasgoninus/status/1839759876450595237
from there, but he lives in Raleigh now
Oh, good. He’s now has waterfront property.
I’m good. My mom went to my nephews for the storm.
THIS GUY HORATIO CORNBLOWER I CALL HIM WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND ANY OTHER AREÀ SUFFERING FLOODING DUE TO HURRICANE HELENE BECAUSE HE IS EXPERIENCING A HUGE AMOUNT OF RELIEF.
I’m voting blue, however, unlike the good people of Western NC.
hey now, Asheville (Buncombe County) and Boone (Watauga County) will be blue. The rest, though…
Its like Ohio: Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo vs. the Rest!
This checks out.
I publicly vowed to (attempt to) eat fifty NC style ribs in one sitting if Harris wins North Carolina. It’s looking like a distinct possibility.
I’d say 30-40% chance she does
Well the best ribs I have ever had was at 12 Bones in Asheville, but since it next to the river, it is probably floating towards Chattanooga TN.
They ain’t falling for the climate change hoax, as their trailer floats away. You can’t fix stupid.

I’m definitely feeling this. I’m mostly worried about Daniels getting hurt before they can really start to build around him, but that’s a totally normal thing for a fan to worry about. Really enjoying this season so far, moreso than I have in a while, and this is definitely part of the reason
If Arsenal bottles this after Man City tied Newcastle I will never stop screaming.
MOTHERFUCKER!!
REDEMPTION!
FOLLOWED BY MORE REDEMPTION!!
You get redemption! You get redemption! EVERYBODY GETS REDEMPTION!!!
Happy hippo!
Out of nowhere. McNeil loves himself a purple patch.
what a grubby goal for Soucek!
Get the fuck in you sexiMexi!!!!
I’m sure Balls will show up eventually. Calm yourself, Sir.
There’s one for Fronk.

THIS ANIMAL MY DOG I CALL HER ELISHA NELSON MANNING BECAUSE SHE FIDGETED TOO MUCH AND IS NOT GOING TO BE INVITED BACK TO THE NEXT SLUMBER PARTY.
No mention of Arsenal-Leicester City Reborn?
Probably for the best.
I’ve sort of mentioned this week we had a big shift in our industry. Another pretty solid, as SqwakBox might say, aftershock went out last night. Still related to our supply chain consolidation — but now we’re entering the phase where the remaining King Manufacturer has issued a very technically and practically valid (thus, CORRECT) statement regarding who/why and because of what unique recent events they may choose to not sell to guys with a history of being a bad actor.
And since bad is defined as different-than-me; I’m a Believer!
So I’m kind of re-reviewing this all because here are the facts as I know them:
1) King Manufacturer is Single-Source/Engrained with my #1 competitor (who is the industry leader in my field) — we’ll call them, FATCUCK #1. So King Manufacturer monopolizing the market benefits FATCUCK #1 because fatty gets all the lowest prices on what are, effectively now, single-source stock components. Would you believe the successful/smart guys coalesced together a long time ago? I feel confident now that I don’t expect to be at any more of a disadvantage to FATCUCK #1 because I am a objectively good customer and KM has indicated that I am not anywhere near his crosshairs and he’s always appreciated us.
2) I’d heard rumors only but the question is, practically, how does King Manufacturer handling absorbing all these customers/demand? I know KM can supply the whole market easily (in non-covid blah blah blah). Question was, would he? Or would he starve some guys — there is a lot of history and a lot of pride and lot of animosity at play here. But I don’t actually know how KM likes to wields his power. Per the statement, it appears he’s going to kill off some guys — but it isn’t clear if his aim is only the bad actors or actors and dude’s he’s hated for twenty years.
3) The Industry does need a quality/durability/confidence hero right now. KM is taking that mantle. In part because he has the best stuff; the perception of him comes down the most when Industry fails as hard it has with what unique recent events above. In part, because this is his exact opportunity to strike now that he’s the only manufacturer in town, he’s setting the rules for way more than just his shipping terms.
4) KM wants to control and have the whole market. He hates his competitors. He’s international a little now so his growth is out there and now he’s dealing with clowns like blax because, at the end of the day, we cheat for fun. It’s a boring industry and the risk of causing a steel railroad bring to collapse one day is exactly why we get up in the morning. So our Industry takes a lot of babysitting — or accepting like is a Garage Sale.
5) So I need to finish my patent and roll out my dummy shit by end of Oct, I think, to try and get my seat at the table. Gonna see if this guy is looking for an Anakin to go cut down my competitors training academies. Because as you can imagine — blax stirs up conflict.
Thank you for letting me organize this here.
What I take from this is that Blax is in the Mafia.
hey, everyone gots to DEI smgdh
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your Nude Africa.
We’re going to morph into the structure of a similar type industry. I just can’t place which it will be yet.
Blax. Will be in PHX in March again. Annual beisbol date? The Snakes play the Cubs that wknd.
You sound like you are all over it. But instinct tells me dealing with single (or near single) source on anything has potential long term risk. I have seen that over the years. Keep your eyes and ears open. I’m sure you do, you sound like a real pro, for other sources/options that may come up on the scope in the future.
Nothing like the morning after (or of, to be accurate), finishing 9th out of 88 in a poker tournament and getting to bed between 3-3:30.
How many got paid, you ask?
That would be 8.
Bubble Boy!
Might as well be on my birth certificate.
Maybe someone will piss hot for greenies and you’ll all move up a spot in the reserve.
A better-than-average chance that one or two of them will piss more than a .08 at the police station after their drive home is interrupted by flashing red-and-blues.

Hey GumbyGirl! Hope you and GumbyGuy are having a good day.
Saw this on the interwebs, and figured you’d get a kick out of it:
Asking too much for matching legs?
I mean it’s western Pennsylania; your dominant reaction should be pleasant surprise that they spelled “country” correctly.
You spelled Pennsylvania wrong. lol!
[flogs self in shame]
Hey, that sign lost one of its legs to obesity-related diabetes, you insensitive clod!
Made my day with that comment.
That’s cool!
No mention of Mighty Whitey v Robin Hoods? Smdh.
I think I had a bad bottle of wine last night. I have a headache to end all headaches.
UPDATE US, good man!
Rage level holding at a 5 out of 10.
It seems I may have gypsy pied my hangover onto you somehow. I drank rum all evening and I feel…not good, of course, but not all that terrible today.
So, from what I can infer from last night’s East Cousin Lovin’ Tech vs Convicts ending, BLEERGH had one hell of a finish?
Just a glorioUs shitshow. I got a tear in my eye as it recalled the fateful Fail Mary.
sack lopetegui.
I refuse to check other scores, Everton making me mad enough. Gonna be one of those days, I’s afraid.
ok, Toffees. I am ready to get hurt again.
Every time I see Kovacic he’s fucking up.
The girl on the far right seems like a lot of fun
RITE???
Goddamn these guys are good. What a pass by Grealish. Fuckers.
I know why. NBC knew the fans wanted to see goals at 10:00 and West Ham plays a defense that creates plenty of them.
See?
