Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch without doing anything [in bed].
Albert Einstein
So, please your partner to ward off evil? Apparently this is going to be a more difficult task then first expected.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Happy Truth and Reconciliation Day! Day off from work!
As times are tight right now it is Mrs. Cola’s and my 8th anniversary tomorrow so instead of going to our fave french resto and dropping a couple hundred bucks I am recreating the meal that we get there regularly.
Olive tapenade to start for her.
Merguez ssg for me.
Beef Tartare for her main.
Steak au Poivre for me.
Creme Brulee to finish.
All prep is done.

Oh, and Jayden Daniels currently has the best completion percentage across four games EVER. Not for a rookie, but overall! It’s at 82.1% and not just dinks and dunks. And Snyder isn’t around to destroy everyone’s enjoyment! It’ll have to be destroyed through more conventional, less toxic means!

Sitting at the table last night at the wedding.
My wife’s cousin’s husband – who believes 5G can kill you – dropped this bon mot:
“LeBron James is a Satanist because he was at one of Diddy’s parties.”
“Really? I’d like to see some receipts on that bullshit.”
He didn’t talk to me the rest of the night, which was awesome.

Ok, JD Vance claiming multiple women have talked to him about their abortions is the least credible thing he has ever said.
And yes, that includes the pet eating stuff.

Today, with the two Fozz spawn in the car, I said, “Each of us needs to take a trash can up the driveway.”
Middle Fozz Spawn: “Nah. I want you to try and drag all three up the driveway at once, and I’m going to video it so I can laugh my ass off and post it online.”
Fuck that kid.

I’d have dragged one up the driveway with his ass upside down in it while his brother filmed it.

So I told both of my sisters I was finished with trying to get the beach house sold. I did this knowing that my hyper-competitive, control freak little sister would just have to do something.
So she did. Lined up a realtor, lined up painters, emptied out unnecessary shit from the house.

Here’s my Schlitz story.
On one of my Jeopardy games, there was a “Have a Beer” category. The clues were all beer slogans, and you had to name the beer. So the 4th from the top clue was “The beer that made Milwaukee famous” and I rang in, not very confidently, and answered “Miller?” and NO YOU ARE WRONG AND GET NOTHING AND IN FACT YOU LOSE GOOD DAY.
Anyway, my mom told her soon-to-be-husband about it and when I met him for the first time, he brought me a Schlitz mug, for the sole purpose of rubbing in my horrible guess. He’s a good dude.

It appears Milton has gone through an eyewall replacement cycle, which means that it has weakened a bit and the wind fields have gotten larger. But now that the cycle is done and the new eye is clear, it’s getting stronger again. So basically what happened is that it got bigger.
The track is now projected to be a little further south. I hope the residents of Tampa show their appreciation for BIG DEMOCRAT WEATHER for sparing them from the worst possible outcome.

I remember pretending to be a pro baseball player while a young varmint and imitating the big leaguers. Pivoting on one leg to turn my whole goddamned body toward centerfield and then turning it back whipping a pitch toward home (or just as often, the hitter — among the reasons I never played organized ball at any level) made it obvious I was trying do a Luis Tiant.
Okay, just voted Democratic, so if things go south, I’ll be in the gulags right with you.
