Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 2025-12

FB_IMG_1744556558721

I liked last week’s list, so I’m going continue the bit. Here is a list of things I like that start with the letter F:

  • France
  • Farting
  • French Fries
  • Fellatio (performed on me)
  • Fool (the novel)
  • Food
  • Football
  • Fútbol
  • Fannies (the American AND British versions)
  • Frijoles ( I AM Mexican)
  • Flags

I could go on. However, I need to move on.

So, aside from THAT, what is there to talk about?

Religion Update

We are now in the middle of the Easter Triduum, the Catholic Church’s Three Day commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Tonight’s event is the Holy Saturday service. This is the longest service of the Catholic year and has been known to click in, in my experience, at a hefty 3 hours.

On the bright side, if you attend tonight’s service, you get “time served” and you don’t need to attend tomorrow’s Easter Sunday service. It’s in the Book of Catholic Exceptions and Loopholes.

Current Events

The Draft is this week. Aaron Rodgers is still not a Steeler, which is a good thing in my book. That means, to me, that the Steelers will pick a QB in the draft, make Mason the starter, and maybe pick up a cheap vet for the backup role. Next year might be franchise QB time in the draft.

***

Other Updates

I am playing a shitload of golf lately. Last week, I got my personal best at one course and lowered my handicap to 25.9. Today, I played the same course with my boss from work. Tomorrow, I’m playing a different course with a golf club friend.

I am also taking Tuesday off to play with my Match Play Tournament partner. We are doing a practice match with some friends for a Round One Matchup to be scheduled soon.

***

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Guinness out of a can with the nitro ball.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Carlos Casteneda said that in order to prove your strength on your vision quest you have to bring back proof from the spirit world.

Totally paraphrased by the way.

I’m gonna guess you’re closing in on a milestone but not quit there yet.

How’s that for bold prognosticating?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Over

SonOfSpam

(watch me destroy him)

I know most people would say early 50s, but I don’t think you’re a day over 49.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I just look 50 but under

Gumbygirl

The answer is 42, obviously.

Wrong meme/gif but whatever I’ve been drinking.

SonOfSpam

Good answer. And this MIGHT be the year they beat Edmonton. (No, I really think this.)

Jimbo

I kid, I’ve been to a few games going back to when they played at the Forum. Hockey is one of the better sports to watch live.

yeah right

Safe at home!

“Possible accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

Never would have guessed this was about Missouri. Would have expected a possible accidental self-inflicted kneeling-on-his-own-neck-for-nine-minutes there.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m about 90% sure that I’m going to have to put our cat down this week, as he’s pretty much given up food and water, and he’s 13 with a debatable heart, and man, this sucks.

Pets are awesome, so much better than people, but they do not live half as long as they should.

scotchnaut

Fuck. I’ve never had to put a pet down but Ruby is going to be my first within the next two tears. Once again, Fuck.

Horatio Cornblower

I was talking with Mrs. Horatio and saying that, just once, I’d like to wake up and find a pet died, peacefully and in their sleep, after a long life, and not have to get involved. It’s the worst, but you owe it the animal to be there to the end.

And to cry like a little bitch the whole time.

blaxabbath

Yessir. My older boy isn’t gonna make it beyond June.

It’s the good work.

Gumbygirl

My Henry is 17. He is the last of my immediate family. My brain shies away from the thought, but when the time comes, I’ll know. You all will too. It’s the last, best thing we can do for them.

SonOfSpam

That’s the worst, sorry for what you gotta do. It’s never any easier.

BeefReeferLives

It’s so hard. I might be where you are soon and I hate it.

Knowing & being with them is worth it, though…

Gumbygirl

Oh my dear. I am so sorry.

scotchnaut

The “Police and Thieves” (anti) guitar solo? It was so cranky, stilted and weird. I immediately embraced it. This song is related to that.

I’ve been grafting citrus today and I hope the wounds heal well and the result isn’t an abomination that threatens the entire galaxy.

Now I know how those robots who fixed Anakin Skywalker felt.

Found a funny:

me: nice dog, can I give him a pet?

him: sure

me: *places a hamster next to his dog* there you go, buddy

dog: thanks

Horatio Cornblower

Thank you, I needed this laugh.

SO . . . .

I’m nearing the end of my post-op phase. Here’s an observation:

Mixing alcohol with Gabapentin is crazy. It practically causes hallucinations , although that could be cool if that’s what you’re going for.

scotchnaut

I mean, if you’ve got time/drugs on your hands you’re obligated to experiment, right?

Brick Meathook

I’m a Navy man. Just give me alcohol and regular Taliban poppy opiates, I’m not suicidal; I know where to draw the line.

This new stuff is crazy. It makes me want to go behind the hospital and kill a fucking hobo.

Just the one? You’re not on the billionaire-approved stuff, obviously.

Brick Meathook

There’s no sense being greedy.

BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

What colour are the dancing elephants?

Gumbygirl

The vet gave one of my cats Gabapentin before we had to drive for a few days. He fell off the bed in the hotel the first night, I’m pretty sure he thought he could fly.

scotchnaut

Look at you, Winner of Pegs!

litre_cola

Yes sir

scotchnaut

/it’s a “Whiteout” in Winnipeg, otherwise known as “Bette Nesmith Night”. Which of course leads one naturally to post this.

Better than permanent Malarkey face.

GTD golf update:

Hoping to get out to the range to hit a bucket of balls tomorrow. My usual golfing buddy is on the IR, so will need to see how that pans out before booking a round.
Also the courses here are just open, so very busy so far
