Evening. I forgot today was Monday and did not get anything of any import/consequence written for this evening. Not sure what is going to be on sports wise, but I am pretty sure that there is baseball and hockey on some channels. May those of you in our much politer northern neighbor have access to a non-Leafs game. Probably gonna read/watch Dark Winds season 2 myself with the wife.
Other than the mess in France I have no idea what is going on in the world right now and you know what, I am happy about that, oh, so very happy.
Have a great evening, a wonderful week, and may your life be full of joy. Or something like that. Or suffer if you prefer, you be you Kings and Queens.
Early morning homicides always make the shift go faster. Definitely ramps up the… homicideness?

Weirdly, I was speaking with hospital security on another, completely unrelated matter, when the security officer told me this person had just walked in. Note the time stamp of my above post; this call happened about 5-10 minutes after.
Too bad that cute reporter girl has the surname “Rash.”
Advice: Get an agent and change your name (or vice versa).
Avoid names that allude to infected genitals. Just tossing ideas out here.
Perhaps the big time awaits.
I am higher than Jesus right now.
Here’s a fine band from the hat

Back from the Kraken totally embarrassing themselves. Again.
Time for me to finish off this shame za from the other night.
Just because you used “za” in a sentence, doesn’t make it a word.
What is the deal with Zion Williamson? Dude sits more often than he plays and, for a guy who doesn’t follow the NBA too much, I hear about him always just being hurt/getting over being hurt/being a beast for one week/heading to the IR.
Nice way to make a living.
That’s pretty much his deal. He’s immensely talented but can’t stay healthy, and his troubles staying mobile are in a symbiotic relationship with his weight problem.
Like, is he gonna get traded to the Lakers and get all Body By Jake in Tinsel Town?
That’s me, except for the work part. And the beard.
Looks like I’m going to Venice over Thanksgiving, haven’t been there since 2003 and know a lot more of the history now so should be fun
It’s just Italy hour in the Clubhouse, evidently.

Oh I thought she meant Venice, CA, which isn’t as special unless you’re Seamus.
That fucker actually wanted to buy a hotel there…
Seamus hung out a lot in Venice (especially for a guy who lived in North Carolina), which is fine if your goal is to get baked, walk along the beach, and try to score with young pot salesgirls.
Well, he did actually succeed with at least one pot shop girl, so “try to score” is not exactly fair.
Tried, then succeeded? Fair point.
lol drunk ideas
They were the first band my son liked that didn’t make me want to cut my ears off.
Braves pitcher is going for the Eastbound and Down look.

Caution: Do not attempt with Italian wife.
Had a long day because boy howdy did I guffaw
Can vouch, unless her highness wants to do said dishes. Your milage may vary (drastically).
@2Pack
Where in Italein you located again?
Vicenza between Verona and Padova. I work in town, live about 20 minutes north of it.
That’s not super far from Venice, we should get lunch when I’m there
45 minute train ride. Train is better than driving when going to Venice. So yes, we need to do lunch.
Shit, man. You’re right in princess’ ancestral backyard. Fucking small ass world.
I guess if that “dream trip” of her mom’s ever pans out, I’ll look yinz up if/when we’re in Verona. Also, Adeliade, Australia. Her family fled Down Under to get away from Benito & Co. back when. All of that, to somehow end up in fucking Yinzburgh, PA.
Kind of worked out, though.
You do that Buddy. A lot of Italians left before and after the war primarily to the US, Canada and Australia. Some returned but many are still there.

The kids cribs are actually close by. Roughly half way between here and Verona.
Juliet’s famous balcony is right in downtown Verona. Obviously the folks had multiple properties.
The castle here is cool, I’ve been there for functions, spectacular views.
I just got back from the doctor for my first post-op checkup. Observations:
I had to sit in the front desk waiting area at Kaiser-Permanente West L.A. for 30 minutes waiting for a wheelchair to take me to the plastic surgery department which is like a mile away. Today is apparently a school holiday (really? which one?) so there were no volunteer student aides available (really? if it’s a holiday they should be here all day the lazy fucks). I watched some really really old people check in. They didn’t need a doctor they needed an embalmer.
I’m in an enormous amount of pain but that’s okay for three reasons. A) I’m tough as nails and enjoy the pain; B) This surgery is an improvement and the pain will eventually go away and it will all have a happy ending; and 3) They are giving me high-end opiates in outrageous quantities and I have been high as a kite all week and I’m not sure I even remember writing this even though I am currently writing this. Fuck Yeah!
Lately I’ve come to prefer Lyft over Uber.
The Lyft drivers both ways (I enjoy my booze and dope but will never drive impaired and I mean that strongly) were very nice and we had great conversations both ways. On the way back we talked about driverless Waymo cars that are seen more and more in L.A. First they were all in Culver City but this guy was pretty knowledgeable about it and explained where they are spreading out, now including delivery vans and the little wagon-sized carts that I’ve seen downtown. I’m against driverless vehicles and just want to fuck with them.
I’m not high as a kite, I’m high as the International Space Station. Ordinarily, a single submarine patrol is ten times tougher than anything an astronaut ever did except for the Apollo moon guys, but shit 9 months outside of the atmosphere is crazy. The longest I ever did was fifty days and that was way too much (but I can say I’ve done it). Those two 9-month astronauts are fucked for life.
Here are some self-portraits of me that you can admire and fap to if that’s your thing:

Today was Cesar Chavez Day, that’s why schools were closed.
Enjoy the drugs!
He was a pretty good boxer, but like, better than Duran? I think not.
He was way better than Duran.
At wearing lingerie, yes.
Wait, got him confused with De La Hoya.
Yes, Chavez was better than Duran.
re: Atmosphere/Subs
My tendency to randomly (sometimes, without realizing) inserting auf Deutsch into intraoffice correspondence has become a low-level thing others are doing now.
Does this make me qualified to join the Trump Administration, creeping more things German into the daily routine?

Sehr gut, ja?

The Rangers are signing UConn’s goalie since they got knocked out. I guess Hartford is an upgrade from Storrs…
Found your office decor, Balls.
Link to buy, please!
Found it!
Also found this:

Hook ’em.
Now let’s see if the fightin’ JuJu Subs can withstand the Fightin’ Lady Horatios.
Go Jujus -definitely not Mel Gibson.

It’s time to make Dallas pay for Saturday. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
I like the inclusion of your nice, cold beverage in the lower right corner.
Beverages are essential in the Kraken release sequence.

The main difference between Musk and Hitler is that the volkswagen was a reliable, reasonably priced vehicle.

Apparently the show Adolescence on Netflix is supposed to be Rocking.
They filmed all the scenes using 1 take???!!!
They did. It’s a quality show. Pretty gut wrenching.
Hey, the Bengals are beating the Cowboys by two touchdowns! Kind of disappointed by McPherson missing two extra points but…what? The Reds? The Cincinnati Reds? Huh, didn’t see that coming,
Bengals and Monday.

Lou Holtz is doing an add for Catholics Come Home, he’s talking really fast about how “we’ve thaved you a theat” and the amount of saliva flying through that studio has to be mind-boggling.
I haven’t laughed this hard watching TV since Rush Limbaugh died.
My wife has a friend staying over for a couple of days and she just tried to play ‘za’ as a two-letter word even though it is not on the list of Scrabble-approved two-letter words and kept insisting that it was a word because she used it and bitch, you will sleep in the shed if you continue to disrespect the rules of Scrabble in this house.
I hate the bullshit two-letter word list. SURE WE USE THAT WORD ALL THE TIME. Weak sauce.
Is that supposed to be short for pizza?
If so, she should be kicked out of the house just for that.
Challenge her to call a pizza place and if she’s able to successfully order a “za” then it counts. At worst you get a pizza out of it.
It was valid in Words With Friends. Which is nonsense, nobody says “za” in real life, ever.
It’s one of those words that makes you want to punch the person using it
Ta
Ya.
Wifey and I are on some sort of adventure/experiment/journey thingy and I’ve no idea how it’s going to play out or even what the parameters are. It wasn’t a Jan. 1 decision, surprisingly.
It started with some notion of getting rid of extraneous things but it wasn’t born of some ‘high’ ideal of understanding what’s really important or somesuch nonsense. It was more about, “What can we do without, that we have always done with?”.
The results include-
-I’ve eaten more cottage cheese in the last month than I have my entire life.
-social media stuff is down quite a bit
-red meat consumption is almost nil.
-I’ve lost 15 pounds.
-our cable bill is negligible
-we’re kinda bored in the middle of the day on weekends.
-youngest skull fracture boy is confused.
-our secondary expenses have dovetailed/cratered
-wifey and I have become closer because we’re innnit together.
/stay tuned!
“youngest skull fracture boy is confused.”
Well yeah; head injuries tend to do that.
Reading the first sentence, I thought this was a sex thing.
Reading “we’re kinda bored in the middle of the day on weekends.”, I think it SHOULD be a sex thing…
Trying to square “What can we do without”
and
“I’ve eaten more cottage cheese in the last month than I have my entire life”
!
Be sure to talk about how you’re gonna blow all the money you’re saving on a cruise leaving nothing for the kids to inherit
I don’t even know what the mess in France is, but I’ll take your word that there is one. Whatever it is, it can’t possibly compare to our shitshow! Here’s a fancy monkey, to take our minds off Nazis
The “mess” is that they did a good and won’t let NaziCurious Lady run for office.
VIVE LE FRANCE for now.
Monkeys are stupid:
Selfie?

I have decorated my office with Alice in Wonderland stickers. I specially love the “We’re all mad” ones
And you put the EAT ME stickers on what?
