Your Skinny Thursday Night Open Thread

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!
