Yes, there’s NHL and NBA stuff on tonight but aside from one tilt this evening seems to be bereft (haven’t used that word in a while) of sports entertainment. (I’ll get to it below)
My financial planner has been bugging me about my retirement date for a few years now and I’ve told her over and over again, “I don’t think I’ll ever retire”. “But just give me a number”, she says. (I think she needs some sort of clarity on her end so that she can plug in some numbers and tell us we have “X” monies at “X” age so that she feels useful) Wifey has also complicated things because she wants at the very least a part-time job well into her 60’s. I’m thinking that tussling with the lady that handles your greenbacks is a bit of weird behavior. MOVING ON.
Minutiae:
Running Away From That Hill: Kate Bush gave me the ok to modify the title, fyi. Tyreek was served with divorce papers a few days ago and lo and behold the Coppers were called to his place the other day. Despite a visible bruise on her chest his wife chose not to press charges. I will bet all my money that I’ll have more money than him at the age of 65. (a quick and incredibly inaccurate google search tells me he’s worth 40 mill)
The More The Merrier: The president of CONMEBOL has put in an official request to FIFA to expand the 2030 World Cup from 32 teams to 64. When asked for comment Burkina Faso said, “It’ll be our time to shine.”
The Shell of A Human Speaks: Massage Watson says that he’s motivated to prove everyone wrong going forward. Woulda thought he’d have done that in year’s previous, but hey…
I Didn’t See This Coming: With no support whatsoever from the QB spot, Allen Lazard has agreed to a “downward pay adjustment”.
Quality Hockey Alert: The Frozen Four (great ripoff name, btw) featuring Penn State vs Boston U is on at 8:30 EST. Western Michigan is holding serve as I type. You’ll see more than a few future NHL’ers if you tune in.
Get in there in the corners, ya wimps!

Did I live this or is it just a movie? I’m taking a lot of post-op pain-killing drugs, so who the hell even knows.Thank you for your service.Wait, was I supposed to say that?

Found a funny:
Europeans finding out that the Euro is now the reserve currency & they’re the new Global Economic Hegemon
new tablet who dis?
Just a bunch of figments of your imagination.
Ciao tutti. Actual photos of me Monday after work.
“Excuse me, where do you keep your foot powders?”
Penn State keeper couldn’t do something dumb like that against UConn?
Penn State, always letting people score who shouldn’t.
So, apparently I missed quite a bit on the site today. Maybe it was caused by The Devil in Highland Park.
Da Comrade!
We hit 100 today. Kids baseball practice had a lot of peeling off to drink water/screw off.
My graftings arrived. I’m kind of like, “gonna go for it anyways.”
Nice write up for a slow evening, Scotchy.
It occurred to me while reading that the title of the 4th minutiae point could also be used for the 3rd.
Running Away From That Hill: Kate Bush gave me the ok to modify the title, fyi.
And If I only could
I’d make a deal with Reek
And stop him from hitting faces
Running from that dwarf
Running from that Hill
Running out that building
Say if I only could
Don’t think Kate will record my version, but maybe Meg Myers will.

Rhyming “Thunder” and “asunder” in any tune always gets me hard*
*has been hard just the one time
AC/DC should have done Asunderstruck
Western Michigan kicks ass!
/and probably votes against their best interests
Gotta suck to be BU and Penn State, (for a lot of reasons), with an 8:30 start in the Frozen Four while Western Michigan and Denver decide to play for three straight days.
Rhythmic waiting noises?
Someone on the internet pointed out that “they’re Penn State students. Shine a cat laser on the wall and it’ll be hours before they get bored.”
When you gotta go you gotta go.

That’s probably the gauchest thing that’s happened at Augusta since someone wore brown socks
They were big mad about this outfit last year and told him to tone it down this year.
I see the deck chairs are being rearranged. 4-0 Ice Giants over the Ice Jets. After 1
Gotta make sure you can draft the running back with a Top 5 pick.
I said what I said.
Hey, it’s why they couldn’t put Perrault out there!
Meanwhile his linemate is averaging 14 minutes/night with the best team in the conference
5-0 now. Perreault and/or Othmann definitely would have scored tonight
I don’t have a good camera or any neat history anecdotes like Brick usually does, but here is a picture of the brewery in LA where I am currently enjoying a beer
That is an excellent name.
Jane Goodall spent a lifetime looking for one of those.
As usual, beaten to the joke by The Far Side.
Holy shit. You’re right here! That’s right behind my bank.
I read “bunk” and had to reread the comment
I’m staying at the same hotel as when I visited prepandemic!
I apologizeI I’m so doped up I don’t quite know the difference between day and night. I’m recuperating from surgery for at least for the next 5 days unless I can BS my way into another week.
Debating on watching NCAA hockey or the Titanic sinking that is the 2024-2025 New York Rangers season.
I’m a musician. I didn’t expect to retire unless I got a nice tenured professorship anyway, and considering colleges may not exist in the next four years, it doesn’t look good.
My ex-wife always like to say (kidding on the square) “my retirement plan is a bullet.”
I’m coming around to seeing wisdom in that.
I’m optimistic and plan to be able to afford the wet cat food when I retire.
Deshaun Watson….
Man, the Texans have a knack for drafting kinky QBs. As you will all see after CJ Stroud gets #MeToo2ed later this summer.
Oh that could be a draft topic! Answer at least two of the Who/What/Where/Why/When/How questions — what’s CJ Stroud gonna get accused of entering this season?
