TGIF! It’s Masters weekend which is a good time to catch up on your napping.
Survival – Personal Edition
So there you are, wandering around the bad part of town when you realize you’re just been pickpocketed. Well, let’s follow that crook and sic the cops on them.
- Start by disguising yourself a professional makeup artist here. You just need simple changes such as removing or adding a jacket. If you’re wearing layers, talk off the top one. Add or remove a hat. Same with sunglasses if it’s a sunny day.
- Don’t stare at them, and definitely don’t ever make eye contact, as that will make you stand out to them. Remember, you have terrific peripheral vision, so use it.
- This kind of contradicts the last point, but do this immediately. Take stock of their identifying characteristics. This includes height, build, clothing, and how they walk. You’ll be able to rely on this information if they get out of your sight or walk through a crowd to relocate them.
- Stay back. Keep plenty of distance between the two of you. Stay at least 40 feet away from them. Walk on the other side of the street if available as well.
- Don’t follow them into a store. Instead wait across the street or a few doors down and wait for them to come back out. If there’s a delay, check for another exit, such as a side or back door.
- Once they’ve arrived at a destination, call the cops and give them their location and description. Do not confront them directly.
- Note that sometimes the thief will hand off your stolen property to another person, who will do the same. If that happens, just stick with the first thief. They’ll meet back up with their friends eventually.
Hopefully you’ve now gotten your stuff back and the thief is having a nice chat with the police. Go back about your day and keep a better eye on your stuff.

A younger WCS, living life and “studying” at WVU, smoked many a blunt and bong with this blaring at weird hours over my buddy’s place while shooting pool. We’d probably watch Half Baked and order pizza afterwards.
Here’s the commanding officer of my submarine. He was relieved of command when the Navy discovered that he was in fact a dog.

This wasn’t my call, but, we have an abandoned infant left in a Wal-Mart. Because of course we do.
Where do you start the bidding?
Tell me it’s a full moon this weekend without showing me the moon’s current phase.
.
Mama busy selling the tent she stole outside?
OK folks, I’m off the beer and into the hard stuff, Valerian Root tea. Gonna get back into my books and nod off. Be good.
Or not.
What am I, your supervisor?
Fucking quitter. Sleep tight princess.
Hope you sleep well too, Duke.
This yinzer ain’t done till 06:00! I’ve got important work to do, lives may depend on my attention and readi—
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Just don’t Doordash McDonalds breakfast sandwiches while a terrified person is calling . You are being recorded!
It’s Friday, ma’am. Long John Silver’s doesn’t exist here any longer, either.
You are the worst lawyer ever. But I like you.
Newly single Jessica Alba is courtside. Over/under on LakerBroFans trying unsuccessfully to hit on her? Eleventy?
I wanted to, but I just can’t tolerate the herpes.
Gotta have standards.
However low.
.
Lakers are ahead by so much…here comes BroJu!
/also stealsl Rikki’s bit. Thanks to Longaniza DeepDish
Stopped at 39 tonight. Points, not eggrolls.
BroJu with a 3!
Hey everybody I’m back home with some really bitchin’ drugs! I just woke up!
/goes back to sleep
Woohoo!
Speaking of bitching drugs, I’m still surprised I made it through highschool in suburban Connecticut without an opiod addiction after multiple sports injuries and surgeries, with all the painkillers I was afforded.
We didn’t have them fancy opioids when I was a CT high schooler. We drank shitty beer outside in cold weather and smoked bad weed, like God himself intended.
Everyone I knew that took pills (uppers or other) was very annoying when on them. Was never even a tiny temptation for me. And I did plenty of stupid shit!
Yep. Never a pill guy.
You can just crack it open and snort it if you’re in hurry.
That was 40 years ago!
I took a lot of downers. I loved Quaaludes, not gonna lie. And we had a friend whose mom had a giant economy sized jar of Valium, She never noticed when some of them went missing.
Same but in hot weather, the weed sucked so many sticks and seeds.
I don’t think I made it through high school with a single shirt that didn’t have at least one tiny hole from an exploding seed. It was the 70’s too, polyester melts like a mofo.
Case in point.
I went into Hell with this shirt.
But now you Remain in Light!
Just no More Songs About Buildings and Food, please.
There should be a name for that phenomenon.
Gumby too. There was a Dr. Feelgood who doled out Percodans by the bucketful to the football players. It’s a wonder nobody overdosed.
Meanwhile my high school trainer denied the existence of shin splits. As such it was a suck it up and deal with your mental block against training buttercup. Christ, what a fucking asshole.
Oh those are real. And pointless and stupid.
Watching the A’s play the Mets in Sacramento and man, fuck that guy who owns the A’s.
Worst owner in sports
I feel like there’s enough material there for either a Monday draft, or a series of posts covering a tournament of the worst owners.
oliGarch Madness
Just in MLB there’s so many options besides the A’s:
Tampa
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Miami
Seattle
Chicago (South)
Chicago (North)
Colorado
There needs to be a year cutoff though. Maybe name the regions after all time shitty owners
Yeah, if we were to do a tournament you’d need to do present day and probably break the regions into one for each of the four major US sports.
Bias aside, is the hockey region named after Peter Karmanos, Bill Wirtz* or Harold Ballard?
* A man so hated in Chicago he got booed at his own moment of silence at the first Blackhawks game after he died.
As much as I loathe Karmanos I think Wirtz would have to have the “honor.”
That guy sucked.
You know what? I’d have to look it up but I’d probably name it after that guy that had no money and lied about everything and still almost wound up owning the Islanders.
That was just hilarious. Also there’s a 30 for 30 on him.
Oh shit, I forgot about that. And his name was fucking Spano. No relation to Spanos except in reprehensibility.
We could also have a worst dual owner NIT so Kroenke could be in the main bracket for football, but also be counted for lesser football, The Pegulas for football and hockey, and FSG for baseball and hockey.
Kroenke sucks, but his teams win. Is that good or bad?
Certainly. Pro sports are littered with terrible owners. Still laughing about parking lot magnate Frank McCourt’s ownership of the Doyers.
Yeah fuck that guy, I remember he was boo’d loudly on fan appreciation day.
/Redshirt trading all his picks in that draft and all forthcoming drafts to move up to #1 and yell “FUCK MIKE BROWN” with the first pick.
Oh my god, whoever gets the #1 pick is gonna absolutely SOAK Redshirt.
Maybe? There are JUST SO MANY.
If I open it up to owners throughout history I think we got a stew goin’!!
First person I thought of when worst owner in sports is mentioned.
Oh, she’d be a very high pick.
She is one of those people that make you hope there actually is a hell.
Rush Limbaugh?
Last GOP guy who didn’t deserve hell? Maybe Eisenhower. Have to check with Mamie.
Nah, John McCain deserves no worse than being trapped forever in a bathroom stall in Purgatory.
Next to Larry Craig.
I had to take a half day off work when he died because I couldn’t stop laughing, and I’m not making that up.
I was just so happy.
One of my favorite jokes I’ve written (who are we kidding I love all my jokes equally) is having Virginia McCaskey mistake Olivia Manning for Marge Schott.
Did I just order a Michigan J. Frog T-shirt because the world’s on fire and why the hell not?
You bet your ass I did!
Hell yeah. Keep it weird.
I bought it after looking for an Eugene Emeralds Exploding Whale T-shirt, but I found it and it was kind of lame so I passed.
The Emeralds are a minor league team for the Giants, and they have an alternate uniform “celebrating” the time the Oregon DOT decided that the best way to remove a dead whale from a beach was to put a metric shit-ton of TNT under it, push the handle and see what happened.
You can see what happened here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34
I, for one, am still an advocate for TNT whale disassembly.
Just get an umbrella folks.
You know the DOT guys 100% knew it wasn’t going to work but just wanted to put a half-ton of TNT under a whale and see what happened.
I mean if I had the chance, I’d suggest the same and see if they went for it.
Oh I am absolutely not casting stones here.
Yeah, one of us!!!
Next time, let’s see what a full ton would do.
Lolololol! That never gets old.
/steals Rikki’s bit
Linguine Donut has 24 at halftime in Houston, treating Texas like Sherman treated Georgia.
/changes name to Horton, since I hears a Whover
A couple of months ago I took a deposition where the plaintiff testified that she was on her way to a “really great doughnut place” in Norwich and I stopped the deposition, went off the record and told her to spill the beans on the name.
Fuck how the accident happened lady, tell me where the doughnuts are!!
Asking the important questions like any good attory
Was she a dirty liar?
I have yet to get down to Norwich to check.
We have a pretty damn good doughnut place within walking distance of my house.
Are you talking about Lard Deposit!
Dixie Donut Shop.
3 run homer! Take that small bears.
And team jerk face is beating Houston so double woo!
I barely follow baseball but even I know Houston sucks.
(sigh)
not tonight, they got 2TDs, Angels held to a FG.
Did Mike Trout go on the IL yet? We’re more than 10 games into the season so he’s about due.
Hit his 6th HR today, which I think leads the league.
So yeah, any minute now.
I’m talking about the Rockets but could apply to all Houston teams.
Hey Ayo, lady number 3 has no pockets to pick… but looks up for a ride. Great job on keeping it real Buddy.
One good thing about getting absolutely skunked at the monthly poker tournament is that I can get to bed at a reasonable hour.
/cracks beer
//grabs potato chips
///puts on Netflix
What? 3 AM already? How did that happen!?
I think there’s footy on at 2, so there’s that.
Another reason this jorb is awesome!
You help humanity bro. Moreso than corrupt cops
Don’t encourage me.
I made that mistake yesterday. Today has been the worst and tomorrow won’t be much better given the amount of freezer vodka I’m medicating with tonight.
https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/512736842
I am.
/ gavel drop
On vacation!
Fuck everything that isn’t fun!
Seriously, congrats, man. Take your shoes off (actually, keep those on until you shower), grab a seat, crack open a drink (you can have mine), and relax. Until Sunday, of course, then it’s back in the kitchen.
Oh I’m cooking tomorrow.
You’ll read about it.
I’m going to try Dok’s pro tip on this trip about taking older socks and underwear that are close to replacement level and discarding them daily.
Got a carry on backpack and only 3 changes of clothes because our VRBO has a full washer/dryer set up.
I’m learning.
Turns out this old dog can learn new tricks.
Carry on only is the way!
I’m usually of the same mind, but three weeks in Australia demands checked bags unfortunately
I’ve done 3 months in Asia w/o checked bags, but I am fairly extreme on this point
Oh please.
Something Australian will kill you long before the 3 weeks is up.
I had a too big case that I carried to Portugal and Ireland and it became too much to lug around.
Lessons learned.
Wait, that’s Dok’s tip? I thought I came up with that all by myself!
I’m sure many people have come up with it before either of us
You were involved!
See you at Disneyland on Monday!
Goddamn. I’m off on Monday!
Mrs. Horatio and I will be harassing Don T in his power-opitional homeland in May.
Very much looking forward to it.
Are you bringing the traditional gift of paper towels?
Lowratio gets to sleep under the shake machine at Burger King!
Oh great Zymm, just ruin Don’s surprise why don’t you!?!?
At least print up some [DFO] labels and slap them on the packaging.
If Eminem is Slim Shady does that mean LeSean McCoy is Husky Shady?
Nono, STOUT Shady!
Fat Shady, we can say fat now per executive order.
Oh good. Trump is a fat fuck!
He’s discount Diddy with his private parties.
Temu Diddy? I don’t know now with the tariffs.
So we’re just cutting da gays now, thanks Obummer.

I giggled too loud for that.
Fredbird Flies teh W and says SUCK IT Small Bears smh
Strong agree about los Small Bears!
who Jimbo’s team be?
Doyers, born and raised in LA señor.
I do enjoy how they kick fools’ teeth in when el Birdos ain’t no good (which is getting MOAR and MOAR frequenter.
We had a long drought when Fox and then Frank McCourt owned the team. Fuck both those things btw.
See ya in Sept when someone plans something on NFL opening day!
I’ve got a ballgame on Wednesday.
Racist Braves playing the hometown Jays.
Do you know how easy it will be to root for the home team?
Patrick Peterson is retiring a Cardinal on Monday.
No mention in the NFL.com article of his 6-game suspension for PEDs in 2019.
I guess he didn’t make it to pope.
They should give him a Viking funeral…alive.
Which, some may remember, as when you fire flaming arrows at a kerosene-soaked booze cruise with players and prostitutes.
Laugh at Meghan Markle’s lifestyle show all you want (HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT SOMEONE SO PRETTY!) but I learned a neat dumpling cooking technique from it tonight.
I would laugh but I didn’t even know she had a show.
It’s quite soothing.
Is that princess making jams?
And yes, that’s how I address the princess I’m seeing. Duke WCS’s mom is prettier, smarter, and has more common sense* than Markle.
*Worth mentioning, she voluntarily keeps me around, so, take that into account
Mrs Cola make jams. There will be no jam hate here.
I like jam, too! I give Markle credit for actually doing something.
Call me crazy but does the girl in pic #1 live above an electrical substation?
Listen crazy, no one cares.
I have had a very productive day! I drew some kickass stick figure art, sped up the data ingestion and processing job I’m building for work by 15x, had TWO free breakfasts, and now I’m settling in to win my first game at Deity in Civ 7 while sipping on a nice glass of Cabernet.
Have I mentioned how much better my current job is than working for Meta? A lot. The answer is a LOT better.
How is civ 7? I haven’t heard much, but what I have heard has been relatively bad.
It took a little while to get used to it, and it definitely needs some work on balance, but I’m really enjoying it. There are two types of complaints I’ve seen about it:
1) Stability, but that only seems to be an issue on console, I haven’t had any problems on PC and that seems pretty standard.
2) Not liking the eras/”It’s too much like Humankind” – I think these are people who just haven’t played a lot, or haven’t messed around with the settings. It’s still very much a Civ game, but with a few pretty big changes and improvements. People always have the same complaint when a new Civ comes out because it’s not just cosmetic changes. I’m liking it a lot better with crisis turned off and long eras. Some things still need work, but there are some big improvements too once you learn the game dynamics well enough to (kinda) understand what’s going on
Huh. Maybe I’ll give it a go. 6 was ok but 5 was my favorite.
What the hell is “kickass stick figure art”?
Post the stick figure art. Or better yet, make a DJ TAJ style post with them.
It’s better if you know the people pictured. Rikki might be able to recognize them
It’s so long since I’ve seen anybody that the facial hair is no help, unfortunately. Is the one on the right Josh?
It is!
And on the left?
I drew some kickass stick figure art,
Wait, you’re Randall Munroe? Can I get another picture with you since I dropped my phone which was on like 3% in like 2015 at the Union Square Barnes & Noble for your What If? tour so I never got to take a picture with you in the first place?
Can you just nuke all your enemies minute one, and thwart thine enemies that way?
Nah, no Ghandi in this one
I only got around to the ingestion part today. But good on you Ma’am.
More women’s volleyball, 2nd semifinal. Brilliant
Silly me watching lacrosse
Tsn2. Get into it.
Lacrosse is TSN5
Watching Montreal vs Ottawa to see if the Rangers are finally eliminated tonight
Then you have to root for Hellebuyck right? Right?
Absolutely. He’s probably my favorite goalie outside of Shesterkin.
To reiterate what I said in the sub, I’ve made so, so many Euler jokes that I have to root for them.
The Rangers hung around longer than the Phoenix Suns — who had the NBA’s highest payroll this year and missed the playoffs.
Watch, it’s gonna come down to the last game of the season and they’ll fuck it up somehow
1. There is 3 hours of women’s volleyball on my TV.
2. I don’t know how single parents do it. They are heroes.
3. Do tariffs apply to mail order brides? One of my old bosses has one and said she was “cheap” to acquire. Happily he was fired.
Not because I need one, because I am curious if there is a contract etc
I don’t know if this is live but I am heavily invested in Austin v Atlanta
If my wife got rid of me, I might buy one for round two.
nah, once you go Blax you NEVAR go back!
Is the dollar not still strong against the….
Sudanese Pound?
What’s the definition of cheap?
He made no trips there, was before facetiming, saw some pics, talked a few times through an interpreter. Boom she flew over.
/after that she got her Masters in something and became the breadwinner. How the turn tables tabled.
Sounds like he got a good deal
Dunno, but I gotta assume you get what you pay for, so “cheap” is either gonna have you killed or has at least one penis.
Re #2, genuinely in awe.
Hope you’re still coming down to watch the FIRST PLACE ANGELS later this year. We may not let you in, or we may let you in and disappear you to El Salvador. It’s an adventure!
I will be there.
I think as long as the bride doesn’t have an invoice in with her papers the tariff can be evaded. I just got some shoes from China and they changed their packaging from the last time I ordered from them so you can’t tell it comes from a company now, it just looks like some random dude is sending me a pair of shoes. Clearly it’s to avoid it registering as a purchase, and I’m all for it. Thanks random Chinese shoemakers!
I got a vendor here that I’m going to ask if I can just pay him like the bulk of my invoice as some kind of domestic parts sale and just keep the imported part limited on tariff value. I’m sure I can’t be like, “oh yeah, 90% domestic and $1 on the import container — here’s your 25 cent tax payment, Uncle Sam!”.
I mean, I don’t actually cut the check for the tax. It’s his fraud.
Sand bum ftw
What’s the over/under for number of laps before Mr Ayo crashes or blows the engine in #8
I’m sure he blows it ON #8…
I’d make it at least 1/2 of a lap then I’d crash because the tires weren’t actually up to temp yet. Then I’d apologize to the nice lady foo crashing her car and offer to comfort her.
In honor of sexy Friday, I submit this video of sophmoric persuasions:

Balls, did you ever see this?
Now I have!
Banger!
That’s so good you get a balloon.
