Flacco Eight Weekend

Do you like chalk?  Mister Elite sez it better be unflavoUred.  I deffo picked the chalkiest bracket I can remember, yet it’s STILL not chalky enough to get out of the mucky middle in the DFO pool.

3W Guns Up!! (+6.5) v. 1W Florida (6:09, TBS)

This is the only Sabado fixture worth watching, but it’s a really good one.  Remember when scotchy told us he was intrigued by Texas Tech due to some random, offensive guru they hired as assistant coach?  Take a victory lap, eh?  And Go Sens Go.

2E Roll Damn Hardwood Tide (+6.5) v. 1E Duke (8:49, TBS)

I want Bama to win this SO BADLY, and am already angry at the fact that they will not.

Hippo is also angry that boring-ass Sparty beat Johnny Reb, so I ain’t stay up late enough to preview Sunday’s games.  One gets what one pays for.

I would be remiss not to congratulate Spam U. on it’s mighty trek to the NIT Raging Semis.  ZOT ZOT!

Just started watching a show called Good Karma Hospital. Digging it so far, very British feelgood

Run it by the suits at Fox; sounds like a sure approval.

I am tickled pink that UConn has a player whose last name is “Fudd”.

Over/under on how many minutes into the game before Horatio gets thrown out a of a formal event for screaming “LET’S GO BITCHES!” while staring at his phone, then frantically trying to explain that he was talking about the Huskies?

Horatio Cornblower

I’m in my own house, preparing to put on pants and drive to a brewery.

So I’d say “pretty high” on the minutes.

Brick Meathook

You’re going to a brewery. Why are putting on pants?

Horatio Cornblower

I’m very fancy; I won’t go out in public in sweats.

Now, one of the two pairs of jeans I own, both of which are old enough to drive? That’s formal wear, baby!

Doktor Zymm

You’re just a tool of BIG PANT

tenn lady vols line change substitution strategy is great hockey sense but not great basketball sense

scotchnaut

Very few teams can pull that off. Was it Nolan Richardson (maybe Pitino?) that had a “pressing” second team that tried to disrupt the opposing squad?

Horatio Cornblower

I think that was Richardson during his ’40 Minutes of Hell’ years.

Pitino had a second squad to run in and cover up the various sex scandals that just somehow broke out around him.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah Pitino designs more of his stuff around a 40 seconds philosophy.

fleshwound_NPG

realizing this was becoming a problem, he decided that the sex scandal acts need not last longer than 15 seconds

Horatio Cornblower

Yankees are up 17-6 on the Brewers and have hit 8 HRs, (that I know of). Judge has 3 of them.

It is the 6th inning.

Horatio Cornblower

9 HRs, and it is now 20-6. Joe Girardi just said “I hope that missed extra point doesn’t come back to haunt them” which I have to admit is a pretty good line.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nine home runs, you say? Take a lap and hit the showers, Strawberry.

Man, I just had a toasted plain bagel topped with whipped cream cheese, diced hard-boiled egg, diced sweet onion, and wild-caught Alaskan sockeye nova lox. Oy vey!

Sweet Onion Note: The onion was a Mayan Sweet from Mexico. Vidalia sweet onions from Georgia (the crown jewel of the onion world) aren’t available until April 15. This is known as the “packing date” when they begin harvesting and shipping at the start of the season, which runs from April to September. The Mexican Mayan Sweet season is short, from February to April, and Peruvian Mayan Sweets are best from September to January. Walla Walla sweets are available mid-June through August; the Walla Walla Sweet Onion is the official vegetable of the State of Washington. This should answer most if not all of your sweet onion harvesting questions, at least from the seasonal distribution and marketing aspect.

WCS

Cream cheese is just meh to me, but sign me up for that. Looks terrific.

Doktor Zymm

Whipped cream cheese is a whole other and better animal

Of course none of those onions will be harvested, because all of the brownish people that do that hard work will be on a plane to El Salvador.

Doktor Zymm

The Vidalia was bred so you could eat it like an apple if you wanted to. Good stuff

Senor Weaselo

As was the style at the time.

scotchnaut

These coaches that are obligated to take a timeout down 9 with 23 seconds to go. Because if they don’t they’ll be accused of ‘giving up’ by the fanbase.

still hilarious that old people love vettes despite them being 3 inches from the ground

uncle had one, got old, aint driving one no more

Yeah watching them get in or out of one is a real hoot.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m 55 and wouldn’t have prayer of doing anything other than falling out of one of them.

ballsofsteelandfury

You’re also tall. I’m short and I get in and out of my car (not a Vette but similar) just fine.

scotchnaut

The women’s basketball broadcast as a whole sure does like to focus on them blonde girls. Hailey von Lith getting a whole lotta love.

fleshwound_NPG

tbf van lith is pretty good, despite caitlin clark making her into a meme last yearcomment image

scotchnaut

Umm, maybe this attention to Lith is actually warranted.

Horatio Cornblower

Anyone who bails on Kim Mulkey and then does that is A-OK with me.

scotchnaut

She seems to have navigated the NIL landscape better than any other college ball player that I know of.

#followthemoney

Horatio Cornblower

Good for her. I know Paige Bueckers is about to take a pay cut as the first player drafted in the WNBA from what she was making at UConn in NIL.

scotchnaut

Folks talk about this a lot (and there is work to be done as the league gains in popularity) but the sponsorship cash more than makes up for it.

COOL ZONE WATCH 🚨

Looks like the United States Social Security Website crashed yesterday and today??

Also word that some Air Traffic Controllers haven’t gotten their paychecks

And Canadian travel to the US is cratering

This has been COOL ZONE WATCH

the expansion of the cool zone disproves global warming

scotchnaut

The other thing that is cratering are housing prices in Florida as a fair number of snowbirds are selling.

Gatoraids

yeah my insurance has gone from 4k to 16k in 10 years, heard other have 30k a year insurance. harder for people to keep their heads above water in Florida figuratively or literally.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s also the issue of rising sea levels, increasing sink holes, and a government run by dipshits that generally makes life more difficult.

No one will admit any of that, (no one white, anyway), because doing so would confirm that they voted for bad ideas and worse people.

Anyway, I need to get back down to Key West before it disappears into the sea. So maybe Tuesday.

ballsofsteelandfury

My understanding is that there is a substantial number of snowbirds headed to México…

And Canadian travel to the US is cratering

There’s a travel warning from the guberment about travels to America’s basement

Enough with these half-measures! If they want to straight-up ban breastfeeding like the Nestle Company has been lobbying for they should just go ahead and do it. It’s not like the white supremacist incels who infest that state are going to object. If those 6MWE freaks are going to show up at the state capital brandishing assault rifles it’d be over the truck nuts thing.

Gumbygirl

They will have to pry deez nutz off my cold, dead bumper! I think we should all go to the Idaho capitol, wherever it may be, Boise? And throw dildos at their legislators.

I love Idaho potatoes. Not a fan of Idaho taters.

My love of boobies knows no borders. That said, if given the choice of potato-fed knockers I’ll happily go with the Emerald Isle.

Off to my NL Roto Auction, will take 9 hours. I hate this league, but 30 years on, habits are hard to break.

After U.S. Attorney Dwayne Keyes recommended severe punishment because she was “full of hate and violence”; [Squeaky] Fromme threw an apple at him, hitting him in the face and knocking off his glasses.

So just to confirm, the neutrals are rooting for *checks ESPN app, clicks on whoever the hell that definitely not Prem team is* Preston North End at this point?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Just woke up from a scary dream where a tense-looking dude came into the office where I was working (something to do with the healthcare industry) with a gun visible in his pocket and started talking to one of my coworkers (a college friend) and I stepped up and managed to convince him to go downstairs with me and have a beer instead of shooting her and everyone else. Very proud of dream-me’s bravery and ability to defuse the situation!

Actually I remember that I ordered a Guinness. Can’t remember what he ordered but it wasn’t that, and it wasn’t something pedestrian either. Later on in the dream I discovered that some punkass kid had stolen the dregs of my beer so I took some of his candy as recompense. In conclusion, dream Rikki is a man of many contrasts.
