Fuck off, humanity. Also, STILL none of us deserve cheerleader pics.
Alabama (-3) at LSU (7:30, ABC)
Playoff elimination game, and the type of fixture where Brian Kelly tends to step on a rake.
Washington (+13) at Paedo State (8:00, Peacock)
Be nice if tOSU would beat these jackasses for the 2nd straight week, keep them out of the playoffs. But we can’t have nice things.
Original Recipe Big Love (-4) at Secular Big Love (10:15, ESPN)
Tweaker fixture, would have been more interesting had October not happened. I can’t deal with their peppy religiosity at present, though.
No rest for the wicked, the slate is both weak and shallow. See you Monday, for more half-assed-at-best content.
Oh, and 14-hr Sunday slates are no longer mandatory, because nothing fucking matters. Do as you will.
I’m gaining so much weight just from drinking. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZNpRiyKWyQ
Alcohol should be free calories. There’s no justice in this world.
And something about this woman just fired me up tonight watching bad movie. Is it her confidence? Just primal lust? That wouldn’t explain it. She’s miles away from my usual lust targets but also not. Is it her hatred for me that lies beneath her eyes?
Every so often I am forced to root for Utah. I hate it.
We’re going to blame you
Utah State is living dangerously down by 21.
Yeah, Cougs are giving them the business.
Too dangerously
To my mind, there are two great color photographers, Ernst Haas and William Eggleston.
Here are some Eggleston quotes:
“You become technically proficient whether you want to or not, the more you take pictures.”
“You can take a good picture of anything. A bad one, too.”
“I want to make a picture that could stand on its own, regardless of what it was a picture of. I’ve never been a bit interested in the fact that this was a picture of a blues musician or a street corner or something.”
I really like that last one. A picture of a nickel could be a great picture if it’s done right. Photography can make the most mundane thing beautiful.
Where are they showing the early game tomorrow? I’ve scrolled all over and can’t find it.
First, not mandatory. Second, it’s at 6:30am our time. Third, it’s on NFL network.
Fourth: It’s the Giants and Panthers. Sleep in or go take your walk. No one needs to see this.
NFL Network
And AFN Sports 2. I am lucky not to have the searches you guys have to deal with nowadays.
How are you holding up there?
I’m ok. Not great, just ok.
Can’t believe you’re here and can’t believe you’re just OK.
We love you, stay strong,
Stay OK for now. Heal and be well. You are in our thoughts.
Hang tough. You’re the bestest, and we’ll telling the others.
Thank you all. I checked and it didn’t show but I’ll check again.
Found it!
It was under that pile of laundry in the corner wasn’t it?
Did laundry last night.
Two loads!
“Only two loads in a night?” – Rex Grossman, scoffing
ESPN is listing NFL Network
This is probably the best photo I ever took. It’s my young niece Anna (who is now a college graduate) at my sister’s house a few years back. There’s a high skylight upper right rear that is the back kicker light, and a reflector bouncing that light as the key. This was Ektachrome 200 on my Leica 50mm lens. Plus, Anna was the greatest model ever, all I had to do was light her, set focus, and press the button.

That is a beautiful picture. Her Mom and Dad will never forget that mood, or that look.

Riding that twisted Nyquil high.
Woke up the first morning of a 3 day weekend feeling like chicken fried shit.
Other beverages involved.
Here take some of these.
Post like these make me wonder why I even do Sexy Friday.
Bravo, sir.
Because you do it so well Sir. I am but a simple man… with the mind of an eighteen year old…
My photography website is still very much a work in progress, and being edited and changed constantly, but here’s the “Abstract” image gallery as it currently stands, if you’d like to see it:
https://lousylousylounge.com/website-abstract
In the editing process, it’s strong at the top then wavers as we go down. Not just individual images, but how they are presented in order. Like a motion picture, the real creation is in the editing.
Like, who gives a shit about rolls of colored tape. None blacker, that’s who.
That’s pretty cool shit!
Some of it is, but thanks Balls.
Still waiting for a reply from the contact page. Just saying.
I didn’t get it, and I tested that feature today. Try again.
I did. I’m going to go ahead and blame Adobe for this and excuse you from ignoring me.
Now I received it, and I returned it twice from two email addresses, because I think I fucked up the first one.
I FUCKING SEE IT!
The first one I put in a fake email address, lol.
Cool! Now let’s test the “Pay Me Money” feature.
Can’t see it. If it was there I’d send over one (1) BitCoin for your services here.
The “Pay Me Money” feature ain’t there yet. But when it is, you’re the first (and only) name in my sales database.
Wait, just checked the price of BTC. Instead, I’ll offer you an in person visit to your local VFW.
That Ralphie, he’s an earner.
Cool stuff!
Good stuff I wish you well on this obvious labor of love.
Thanks! For 25 years still photography has been a labor of pure love for me while I was a whore to the Hollywood VFX industry; now I’m whoring out my still photos. Outstanding bargains are available!
Buona fortuna Buddy
Rooting for Alabama feels weird.
So does their cousins, but that doesn’t stop them.
Always interesting to witness a small group of coworkers get chewed out by the LT for unknown reasons.
“Just keep your head down, dick in your pants, and we’ll be fine, WCS.”
Also,
Wait, you’re allowed to take your dick out?
Your job doesn’t have “show & tell” does it?
Lieutenant LT Smash?
I always tell people, “When in doubt, just do your job. You’ll never get in trouble for doing your job. And if you can’t do it for this job, do it for your next job.”
I really thought you were going to say, “when in doubt, whip it out”.
Words to live by.
No, you’re thinking of Adrian Peterson’s motto: “When they’re bad, whip their nads.”
Do nawt BOW DOWN today or for the rest of the year. Yikes!
The leading passer at HT of OU/Mizzou? The Okie PUNTER.
Turns out I already knew this cleaning tip!
Can’t clean with juice?
Who knew?
If you’re shooting (with a camera) in the rain, particularly from a moving platform, mount an optical glass flat in front of the lens. Cut an apple in half and rub the flat part on the weather side of the glass, coating it with appleness. This will repel water like magic, and it really does work.
Where are the safe spaces on the internet to brain dump violent rage screeds anonymously? Reddit still?
Hey, you can always draft a screed in “Drafts” here and chew on whether/when ready to publish it!
I am almost purely angry this time. Depression and despair were so 2016. And I’ve been able to turn off my mind at least a little (so I can fucking sleep), but the anger grows on a daily basis. So far, at least.
As much as anything, this has been an object lesson that I always believed, deep down – but suppressed giving into.
Hate is much stronger than love. Hate is the fuel that keeps human society humming. One doesn’t have to like it to accept it.
Until this point, I wasn’t allowed to mention January 6th to students. Now the history will be rewritten to show the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, and the Jan. 6 riot was a justified political protest carried out by martyred heroes, and I’ll be forced to teach that. Seems vaguely important.
I mean at least Ashlee Babbit is still dead. A whole bunch of antivaxxers, too, though not nearly enough.
Also fun to watch Brian Kelly fail. Again.
An uplifting Halloween story would be to have the ghost of the student he killed haunt him until he jumped out a window.
Only in Oklahoma.
What, same picture two times? Look on the bright side. At least he can’t run again after this.
And give your ass slaps to Litre, the Cavs won the CPL today and Deci went out with the team in the intros. We still have good things.
MAYBE there will be a small Hippo grin if you pledge us another bowling/Jamaican lass seduction series?
Litre has requested this as well. I could maybe think about possibly considering it. In the new year of 2025.
I did just get a new ball. It’s a hammer raw. I could do something with that.
This? THIS I LIKE!
For you? I can do this. There are no Jamaican ladies at this time. African, yes. Canadian, yes. Low standards? They must have them.
I hope Deci had a lot of fun!
Finally found a flipping option. It sucks, but Boomer Sooner at Mizzou. We can root FOAR the home side because Fredbird obvs!
I’m down voting Fred bird, not you
tuff butt FARE
Western Civilization in action
Timeline so Darkest that I’mma root for Johnny Reb AND Bama on the same day!
TIger Stadium at night. Goosebumps!
RIP Ed Orgeron.
also, SMOKE EM IF YOU GOT EM, Brocky! First 10-0 start in IU history.
I figured out a way that works for me.
During the pandemic I was all in on news and reading long form pieces on all of the fucked up shit on the world then I realized I was still doing it.
After Tuesday I took the news station off of my radio preset and now I just listen to KROQ.
i canceled my news letters that focused on the fucked up world we live in and now I just don’t fucking care. I’m going to keep working, I’ve got my books and sports and movies for entertainment and the countdown to exit clock is ticking.
I’m going to make a few more bucks then I’m getting out of this idiot country and will never deal with politics or any more bullshit from here on.
Got to tell you, it’s working so far.
it’s really the whole world, but I hope Portugal buys you enough time to enjoy a good retirement
I swear you needed to be sitting with me and Taj and eldest right at the Pier Head Inn in Blackrock Village, Cork Ireland.
It’s on the Wild Atlantic Coast, right on Galloway Bay and we stopped there on our tour to the Cliffs of Moher to have a pint.
We just looked at each other and said “We don’t HAVE to get back on that bus.”
It was magical.
There are better countries than this one, I promise.
How is KROQ these days? I’ve completely eliminated terrestrial radio since I got Sirius.
It’s all First Wave and electronic music for me nowadays.
They’re fine but I swear to God they need to stop playing so much Linkin Fucking Park!
I still get some new music now and then which I fucking dig.
I’m in the same boat. Fuck the trolls and their fixation on “liberal tears” – I’m not tuning in to their bullshit. It’s sunny and warm here in Southern California, and I’m going to enjoy it and have the serenity to ignore the hell out of things that I can’t change.
Exactly. Well said.
It’s the way to go. I listen to CBC on a regular radio the size of a cinder block in my kitchen. 24 hour news and the spiral it can get you in a is a nasty trick to the mind.
Books, movies, real people. Not the shock and horror of the news money grub.
Oh, and a dangerous amount of alcohol. That helps. Up to you but I can’t stop at this point.
And I assume you folks can get cbc on the internet? Quirks and quarks, under the influence, here and now. Q with Tom power. So many great shows on CBC radio. I love Sarah Pentin and Darius Madavi on my drive home but the weekly shows are fantastic.
Speaking of radio, this is a cool site. You can listen to any radio station in the world that has an online station. This present is a lil station in S. Australia, but you can click on any station (green dot) in the world.

Fun to listen to different international stations. Also fun to look up and listen to stations in different cities that I used to listen to when I lived there, & college stations.
That was the best thing about doing road trips. Love listening to music in different towns.
You get out in the lower desert on old route 66 and there’s some scary ass stations out there.
I stayed overnight in Gallup New Mexico then listened to a Navajo station for the next 2 hours. That was pretty cool but they played a lot of old classic rock.
This a fun one, a Romanian blues station:
https://radio.garden/listen/rock-fm-blues/WXDJ1MJf
Guns Up!! is looking down and swearing this has NEVAR happened before. Lousy pricks.
Come on refs, make Ole MIss forfeit!
Hee hee! Kiffin magic.
Oh cheer up.
Seriously.
Here’s a set of shoulders to cheer him up
I, for one, am quite “cheered” up
Hey, I don’t get the shoulders thing but I don’t judge. I only wish I knew what it was about the shoulders that he likes so I could find good pictures for him.
2Pack’s Animal House pic the other day was genius. Lemme see if I can find it….
This one isn’t it, but it’s good too
We’re talking shoulders? This wasn’t my first choice of picture but the thing wouldn’t let me put the one I wanted.
Did somebody say “cheer up”?
