, ,

Welcome to the holiest of days, according to Vegas. With that in mind, I’ll toss some lines at you (that meant something different in the 80’s) and please note that Uncle Luigi’s may differ somewhat. Let’s Gambol With The Monies!

Chiefs are -1.5 favorites

The O/U is 48.5

Saquon to win MVP =250

SB MVP first “Thank You”? God is getting -210.

Kelce proposes to Taylor: +800

Oh, the game? Kelce over 6.5 catches gets you +120

A.J. Brown’s longest reception over 24.5 yards: -114

Goedert’s anytime TD: +310

Eagles total team TD’s: 2.5 (-310)

Kareem Hunt anytime TD: +150 (He’s scored in every playoff game he’s been in)

Hurts and Barkley combine for 200 rushing yards: +330

Jalen Carter gets a sack: +116

There’s just a few of them. Share below exactly how you’re making your fortune today. As well, let me know about your culinary/booze plans.

After two years, we finally explained to my Dad’s brother that with his ALS, he cannot act as their mother’s estate’s executor.

“Can you still sign?” “I can’t move my hands.” “We only need your signature.” “I cannot move my hands.”

“Can you go to the lawyer’s office?” “I’m a quadriplegic.” “Well, Momshirt and Redshirt can drive you there. Would that be hard?” “Yes.”

No, it wasn’t even that. His brother and cousin stopped by to visit Dad and we tricked him to go the 15 minutes to visit. Even seeing him in the bed with his arms and hands curled and stationary didn’t really give the message. We had to spoon feed it to him.

The Owl thread is going to be called “litre reacts reasonably”, right?

Making wings on the Smoker gizmo today and gonna have some nachos too

Lunch will be late and will be leftover burgers.

Have already shoveled the front and the deck, so have started the chorin. Still some cleaning to do, never ends, before the game.

Undecided if I will have a drink drink or not. Not sure if I feel like it yet

And have no moneys on the game. Ima cheap bastard so hate the spending part more than the (possibility of) winning part

Hoping for a good game, something that’s competitive until late in the 4th

There will be no reacting reasonably. Those in Vegas saw me react for a regular season game. It was nowhere close to reasonable, not an angry guy but there was a lot of pacing, muttering and smoking. I’m staying home for the game because last time there was an incident at the train platform.

If I were a betting man, and I am not, I would take the Chiefs, the over, God as the 1st thank you, (because of course it will be Mahomes, of course it will), Philly under 2.5 TDs, and a KHuntish TD.

And I would very much hope to lose every single one of them.

So expect a Chiefs blowout and, after the game, 47 signs an executive order in the Superdome to dismantle FEMA.

For the first time in like 50 years I have zero dollars bet on this game. Nothing. Nada. Nein.

This legalized sports gambling bullshit is going to ruin an entire generation of young, stupid adults and I’ll not be a part of it.
My second in command at work listens to sports talk radio and the kowtowing to gambling is sickening.

Standard response is I win every day by not gambling.

Dunstan

I think I never really had a taste for gambling. Losing money has always annoyed me more than winning money pleased me, and I never got the “rush” of having money at risk. I think I used to go to casinos once or twice a year out of a vague notion that it would make me cool like James Bond, but of course the reality is that I was just sitting at a cheap table with a bunch of drunk slobs. (Nothing against drunk slobs, mind you!)

Anyway, so today I’m just betting on some sous vide pork ribs, chicken liver pate, prosciutto, and a cheese plate to win big.

Same. Gambling windfalls don’t give me much personal satisfaction. I mean, if I won like a poker tournament but casino gaming — I’m just more relieved to have not-lost than I am to have ‘won’ less than the odds say I deserve.

I used to gamble at casinos; craps and blackjack, but now that there’s a casino within short driving distance it just doesn’t appeal to me. Evidently the math nerd in me is yelling louder than the gambling junkie. As for sports betting, I know myself enough to stay the hell away so that I still have some money when I retire.

Wife and daughter bought me a sous vide setup for Christmas, and I’m excited to try it!

yeah right

It’s awesome. I’ve got a couple of recipes from like 3 years ago.

I adore my sous vide stick. You can take the cheapest piece of beef from the grocery store, basically something that’s one grade above a used tire you’d find on the side of the road, and turn it into filet mignon.

I worked at a casino back in the Gay Nineties. I saw a guy drop dead at a slot machine he “just knew” was about to hit, had someone try to sell me their wedding ring for a couple of rolls of quarters, more than once saw people dragged out and arrested for leaving their babies in a car while they gambled for hours. I have zero interest.

1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I suppose the upside of the ascendance of sports gambling is that the clientele tends to be more meatheads and fewer little old ladies blowing their social security check. But anything that feeds addictive behavior is ultimately going to end up awful.

I was paying a bill yesterday at a Tobaccaria here, the state sponsored lottery outlets. I was sad to see so many folks my age and younger putting down money on a gamble I suspected a few of them could ill afford. Recreational is one thing, but desperate hope is often the other.

Yes it is. Cacio pepe made with pecorino Romano has been a highlight dish on the Italian cooking shows lately. It’s a simple but tricky dish to make as the cheese coagulation must be closely temperature and moisture controlled. Younger daughter has it down however and once you try it, you know why it’s so popular.

Truth. It can get grainy if done incorrectly. Very tricky but the pasta water is your best friend with that dish.

Italian TV is covering the game live so I just might opt for their commentary. No way am I staying up for this one. But on a typical SNF game when I get up at 4 it’s halfway through the 3rd quarter. With the extended halftime show I’ll probably catch the second half totally. Raining here and it’s supposed to be raining all night. So it sounds like watching from the gym.

My wife is making monster cookies for the super bowl party next door.

I got the defect lawyers popping up with a new “expert” running around trying to drum up lawsuits because, according to his report I finally got my hands on, our joint-industry evaluation and repair manual doesn’t exist so, hey everybody, let’s just go with an opposite opinion that, literally, cuts up individual sentences from a 9 paragraph chapter to eliminate Shoukd with a stronger word of his uninformed opinion.

Trump needs to declare open season on attorneys and their experts. Addition by subtraction.

But it’s a great opportunity really. Our industry is pining for a new leader as we’ve just watched the previous generation age as gracefully in leadership as the Democratic Party. So I’m making my “to my lawyer” argument about everything misleading word and statement in his report. My first PM told me, “if you always prepare for a lawsuit, you’ll never have to get in one.” I’m not offering a dollar. I’m like, “if this house is wrong, every house is wrong and we’ve got a crisis — including in New Builds today.

So i am gonna try to finish that today during the game while my house is empty. My goal is to build the template of the response to his templates “report”.

I know you guys deal with low integrity professionals all the time so thx for hearing me on a Sunday. My world is usually like, doing real work.

Horatio Cornblower

Your attorneys should already know this, but asking professional experts for their tax and financial records, showing just how much income they make being professional experts, tends to drive out the charlatans, although it will take some time.

1
blaxabbath

He’s ‘legit’. It’s just the way an ‘expert’ can be so obtuse but loud. But it’s good — I only know how to fight at one speed.

And when I do get this put to bed and run him out of town (for this chapter), I’m going to leave reviews about the college he works at explaining they employ instructors who, in the private sector, stamp reports that haven’t even have the attention to detai required of a 200-level engineering class assignment.

Eagles TE Goedert for $1,000 because a website told me to do it.
Chiefs K Stay in the Kitchen Outside of Labor Contractions for $1,000 because Trump made an Executive Order.
Eagle K Jake Elliot for $5,000 because a kicker the Bengals rejected winning the SB MVP would be a poetic ending to the nut punch of a season.

I plan to imbibe only opium, and be in bed by 8:30p EST. Last night, i dreamt I was working as a bartender, but I had both (i) never been trained so had no idea where anything was; and (ii) the patrons kept ordering drinks that I hadnever heard of before.

MY BRAIN HATES ME MOAR THAN ANY WOMAN EVER COULD. Not that I don’t deserve eternal scorn, mind.
