{I was going to post the Basket Ball Jones video from 1975, but even my racist father (may Death keep him resting) would have been uncomfortable watching that video.}
Evening,
I hate to inform everyone that I will not be continuing with my journey of discovery for Trench Crusade, as the game has been infected by politics. Unless you are setting forth to make a political game, politics should not enter into a game, some political satire sure, no problem. No matter which of the many sides is trying to make a point, I live up to the GenX mantra “I don’t care!” and I don’t want your pointed socio politico stance in my face, either conservative or liberal. I need to find a niche entertainment that in no way allows for politics to be a part of it. Sigh
Anyway there is a National Championship game to be played tonight and since Duke is not playing, I will be watching and fully enjoying the game. Since I am not a degenerate gamblor (Sorry Hippo, not sorry) I have no idea as to the odds/money line or any of that arcane mathematics that allows numbers to be changed into gold, especially if you are Draft Princes or whatever app is the schznitz now,
I have not been on much as I broke my glasses and they are not repairable so I am still using a really old pair, I called to get an apt and was told they had no openings till late June, the place I finally found can’t see me till late April, so I am going to continue to be blind for awhile. Trying to do anything when everything is slightly out of focus is rather hard. It really makes me empathize with anyone who required glasses prior to their general availability.
Oh, and if any of you got dragged to see the Mine Craft movie – I’m sorry for your pain.
To paraphrase Critical Drinker “Anyway, that’s all I got – go comment now”
Watching The Death of Stalin tonight
It’s funny & rockinggggg!!!!
Looks like Spam won the DFO bracket, and I somehow came in second!
(sigh) gotta make room for another gently-used Fleshlight on the dresser
I don’t think that’s where you’re supposed to put them.
If you have more than three, you’ll need an on-deck area.
Better than not coming at all
Can confirm I am richer thanks to Duke losing. Good job boys.
We all become richer when Dook loses.
Congrats Gatoraids, I think. Fuck your state very much for DeSantis, though.
thanks, but should thank us for becoming even more of a moron magnet for rest of the states. definitely getting out of here soon.
I got mixed feelings.
On one hand fuck kelvin sampson
On the other, people in Florida don’t deserve nice things
i felt the same way about my state but neither does Texas so fuck us both
I CALL THESE FLORIDA GATORS BUTTMAN CUZ NEVER SEEN SOMEONE COME FROM BEHIND SO MANY TIMES
/Balls has entered the chat.
Well, at least it ain’t Duke. Always a silver lining.
All three games in San Antone had massive collapses. That’s fun!
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
What the cinnamon toast fuck was that ending?
That was the dumbest finish ever. Wow.
never doubted it for an hour

He should’ve booked that Cancun trip.
Hopefully an unhinged fan will make him pay.
That would make the fan quite hinged.
I am fairly certain that is not the play Kelvin Sampson drew up.
I don’t think Houston can set up a shot here.
And I was right
Just shit basketball.
Nostraballs!
I’m sweating, and I don’t really care who wins.
Turn the air conditioner on?
It’s blasting.
It was Horatio who introduced me to the band Guadalcanal Diary.
I live to serve.
.
Is it me or have both teams played really bad basketball in the last two minutes?
From someone who knows fuck all about college basketball….yes.
As Barkley would say, “turrible”
That final play really illustrated this point.
This is the blind leading the stoopid.
How the hell is Gene Steratore the rules analyst for college basketball too?
He knows a guy.
“I don’t think the player completed the process of the dribble. They should assess a 15 yard personal penalty on him.”
Me, watching the Florida player flop:

Hey, what do you know, Houston finally caught a break. /s
She’s gotta do 500, I’d hope there’s at least one break.

This is how one deals with stress.
This has the feel of a game where Florida keeps getting close but never quite gets there.
Sounds like a very special episode of Good Times “Mama’s Comin”
… he said right before Florida tied it back up.
But didn’t take the lead.
… he said right before Florida never took back the lead.
… he said right before Florida did take back the lead.
There it is.
Stupid petards and hoisting.

on a work project release call for a project that I was not involved with, but have knowledge of one of the software packages it uses, so got volunteered.
Call has been going on for 90 minutes now and the client has been on for total of 5 minutes. So bored. My coworkers are all on mute, so nothing happening, so reading here.
Also in some personal bad news, one of the houses on my street now has a cyber truck parked out front. I’d hoped that it was just someone visiting, but after 3 weeks, not so sure that I won’t have to see that eye sore for a few more years. Fuck those things are ugly.
/pray for GTD
//going to start taking the long way out of the neighborhood to not have to pass that house.
Don’t worry, it’ll self-destruct in a few weeks.
Bleurgh I hope so.
Hopefully it self-destructs before losing all it’s outer shell into traffic
Guy in my neighborhood has a big Vance 2028 flag on the front of his house. I’m told he’s a cop.
Ask your neighbor if he’s THANKED President Trump for allowing him to have a flag.
Nah, I mind my own business around here. I just don’t get the politics in everything nowadays.
A Vance flag?
the mrs had just noticed one a couple weeks ago and saw it beige and thought it was the normal color, and told her it was actually a simple silver. out to lunch we saw the beige cybertruck in the parking lot, and were shit talking it when another normal silver one pulled up in front us but we continued to talk. Turned out a food delivery guy was using cybertruck for deliveries. not sure if door dash has a deal or if guy had already met karma.
Guadalcanal Diary, other good songs

I wonder where I can find an old Soviet joke book, think it’ll come in handy. Politics has me in a grim mood today
You and me both.
got em just where we want them *start heating up emotional support cheese sticks*
I’ll have my emotional support blunt and yogurt your cheese sticks.
Bogart your cheese sticks, fucking autocorrect.
I kinda liked ‘yogurt’ as a verb
Me too!
Someone needs to die over that Degree commercial.
Won’t lie, DFOers: I’m as nervous as I’ve been tonight here. Brand new police dispatch system and software went online at 11:00 this morning. This is collectively all of our first night with it; hijinks are a guarantee.
It’s worth noting that in my training class last week for this, there were three of us. We managed to stump the instructor and “expert” four times in an hour with questions and scenarios we just came up with on the fly with scenarios that we could very well face. That was uh… hmm… disconcerting.
Anyway, into the wild blue yonder yet again.
It’s not the same thing at all, but we’re headed for an “upgrade” this summer and based on how the initial installation went at the beginning of last year I’m looking forward to telling the Court, opposing parties, and clients that “fuck if I know” is the best I can do when answering their questions.
Horatio: (sends email to partners apologizing for client’s death penalty, requisitions 2nd DildoChair3000)
Partner: “It was a civil lawsuit for a minor fender bender!”
Me: “Well, he was following too closely, and you can never tell what a jury will do.”
I’d laugh at your “difficult” circumstances, but you also make more money than I’ll ever believe was possible.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT BASEMENT PRINTING PRESS IN CONFIDENCE!!
“HELP ME, SOMEONE IS BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE”
WCS: “Stay on the line ma’am, I’m sending help right now.”
WCS: (pushes new blue button)
WCS: (penetrated by DildoChair3000, gets 2 gallons of Mr. Pibb dumped on head)
Thought I moved this damn thing. Shit!

you’ll be doing paper call cards shortly.
Or the IT folks are doing an emergency roll back to the previous CAD system.
I can see Greggggggg (IT guy) going all Blair/Wilford Brimley in The Thing on the computer servers by 05:00.
Found a funny:
Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me
.
Where do you live that there ain’t no Lenscrafters?
Haven’t seen any around here in years, and tri-focals have to be sent in anyway.
“Haven’t seen any around” which is why you need new lenses, can’t believe I gotta explain this smh
at least clean your glasses, how can you see anything through all the dirt?
GodDAMN!!!

Hahahaha!
I’ve seen enough. Congrats to Cougars everywhere.

Absolute classic.
“I took some acid…”
I remember watching this live and on loud shag carpeting.
/ go there team, I know you will.
Damn good game so far.
Defense being played is fantastic.
I guess I have to root for Florida, so that I can say UConn lost to the champions by 2.
Muttering under my breath that it was in the second round, was really more like 5 points, and also that UConn blew a lateish 6 point lead.
Forgot about this little gem

Where’s the rest of the skulls? – Khorne, somewhere in the warp.
Thanks CBS, for the reminder that tomorrow I can watch Arsenal get their shit pushed in by Real Madrid.
Chinyelu doing a Bill Lambeer tribute act last couple games for us
Who is the guy on this website who introduced me to “Watusi Rodeo” by the Georgia band Guadalcanal. That’s a great song.
I have used in request lines before.
I’m a big fan of Guadalcanal Diary.
The band, that is. Can’t speak to the island.
We are still better than AI at identifying Australia
So the only difference between humans and AI is that AI is confident in its idiocy.
Have you ever spoken to a flat earther?
Of course not. Just like I resist the urge to bang my head against any wall I see.
The ones who believe the earth is flat because of the angels stationed at the corners of the by God as the Bible says. And globes do not have corners, hence the earth is flat.
Corners of the earth ffs
It’s not like it made any more sense after you fixed the typo.
No, and that’s a streak I intend to keep alive.
Gumby and I made one cry in a bar once. A proud moment!
Pretty sure I sealed the family bracket prize of $250 with Houston taking down Duke. 2nd place also has Houston winning it all so regardless of outcome I think I’ve got it.
And bragging rights.
In reference to the lady who gave birth to 69 kids from the last thread:. It was all the same father. He apparently then went on to have another 18 with his second wife
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feodor_Vassilyev
WHAT?!?!
This gets more insane! So, she finally decides to call it quits and he gets mad and finds another woman to reproduce an entire village?!?
This world is a land of contrasts…
The first wife gave birth continuously from 18 to 52?!? WTF…
Apparently, the man had super sperm. The second wife had twins and triplets.
Half man half dog?
Werewolf
A Mog?
He’s his own best friend!
How close did he live to Chernobyl?
I wonder if there’s a Russian version of Maury Povich.
Maybe some like this, for those rainy days?
If I had my druthers I’d prefer to sit arm in arm with Dok Zymm and GumbyGirl.
they would both destroy me.
Aw who’s kidding who here. I would defeat both of them and we would all live happily ever after.
And then me and Balls would drink a cup of coffee and say “Well, that happened.”
Lady Balls’ son saw the Minecraft movie and said it was “extremely shitty”.
Get ready for the Star Dew Ranch megaseries, coming from Disney!
What you need is a monocle. And a top hat!
.
Or a pince-nez!
I tried, but with tri-focals they need to be a bit more stable.
This gif will never get old.
Just like Natalie Wood!
