Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 2025-1

I guess I’m back on! I know I did these last year but I forgot there were no games today. I am committed to doing these again this year, so strap yourselves in!

What to talk about?

Current Events

Today, the Trump administration slapped tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. Somewhere, I read that the Northeast of the US gets something like 60% of its power from Canada. A possible counter to the tariffs would be to stop the flow of power south.

Ukraine did it to Russia with their gas pipeline.

What say you, Canadiennes? Does Trudeau have the minerals to do it?

Mexican president Claudia Longlastname has taken a “wait and see” approach. I think she’s waiting to see how pissed off the cartels get and then let them “fix” the situation.

Sports Update

Real Madrid shockingly lost to Espanyol today 0-1. Yeah Right’s decision to visit Barcelona surely contributed to the home team’s (yes, Espanyol is Barcelona’s other team) success.

***

Life Update

Nothing new. All is calm and things are going along relatively well. Southern California will get an atmospheric river next week which will bring some much needed rain and probably some not-needed floods. I’ll be prepping the house tomorrow to make we don’t get any issues.

That’s about all she wrote for today. Oh wait, I forgot these from last year!

One last thing:

Be good to each other and remember that things are not as bad as you think.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Jon Stewart is wearing an eagles jersey at the Lakers Knicks game, I figured he would be Jest fan.

Mr. Ayo

Mr. Ayo

Doktor Zymm

Still no call on tomorrow, gonna be last minute!

Mr. Ayo

Lucky for you, the KRAKEN game is late. (18:00 pacific)

Doktor Zymm

Worst case scenario, I’m there by 16:00

Mr. Ayo

Let me know when you land, I’ll pick you up and drive you straight there.

Doktor Zymm

Just grabbed a seat on UA593, lands at 3:45 pm

Mr. Ayo

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Doktor Zymm

Not gonna fly back same night, got a room at the Four Points nearby and I’ll bring my work computer

Mr. Ayo

Great, see you tomorrow!

Doktor Zymm

Woohoo!

Game Time Decision

Have fun kids

King Hippo

And a hearty FUCK YOU to everyone enabling our current government by idiocy. Elon Musk should be fucking deported.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it seems they closed the immigration narc hotlines because 90% of the calls were reporting ol’ Musky

King Hippo

Balls is right, but only because things are WAY WORSE than anyone can actually imagine. Our brains have an override switch to keep us from going that dark, we’d all have “head in oven” time otherwise.

King Hippo

I’m aware how dark that reality must be. Again, my mind can’t really grasp how bad.

ArmedandHammered

Does Newark NJ count?

Senor Weaselo

No, you’re thinking Camden.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is that an AI generated milf in the banner photo?

Doktor Zymm

A MAILF?

King Hippo

proper shoulders, I know DAT

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This dragon roll is so big it’s going to make my jaw cramp. I wish Nancy Reagan was still alive, she’d know how best to deal with a situation like this.

ArmedandHammered

Makes one wonder how your wife eats dragon rolls.

ArmedandHammered

Actually this tariff stuff against Mexico is brilliant, the DOJ can now let the IRS know how much the cartels owe in unpaid tariffs. And send those heartless bastards, fuck, they brought down Al Capone! Brilliant! Sigh, someone will say this is a reason. When sarcasm fails.

Senor Weaselo

Even The Joker doesn’t take them on!

Great tune Ballsy.

Brocky

So, of all the celebrities to be WWE fans, i did not expect this guy

Isn’t he contractually obligated by certain deities to be present at anything Indiana?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I wouldn’t want him there unless he learns to clap faster.

ArmedandHammered

I don’t know a slow clap to me seems like one of the most Indiana things ever.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d have thought that in the eyes of an Indiana resident a repetitive physical motion such as clapping flirts dangerously close to the realm of “exercise”. I would expect slow breathing would be more appropriate.

ArmedandHammered

Well, if anyone in Indiana claps, it will always be of the slow type, unless they are having a low blood pressure incident

Mr. Ayo

He’s always good for a little ditty.

ArmedandHammered

Here’s a little ditty
about pawing the titty
while searching for clitty
hidden in teh kitty,

ArmedandHammered

And yes.

Gatoraids

Thought David Lynch had come back for a min

ArmedandHammered

I thought it was Gordon Ramsey on a bender.

ArmedandHammered

I was giving him the benefit of a doubt.

King Hippo

absolutely also thought was the shouty chef guy from teevee

Don T

Megamind live action sneak peek?

Senor Weaselo

There’s a Metro City Bank down the road by be. Do I call it Metrocity Bank? No doubt.
