Monday Night Open Thread – the Dust Bowls of my Mind

This song always makes me think of just getting lost in your own world and time passing you by.  That is my interpretation, and I am going to stick to it.  That being said, it has been more like the dust bowls of my mind as I got nuthin, nothing growing on the bare sterile plains of my mind.  My interest in Trench Crusade waned quickly once the political bullshit started, funny about how a game based entirely around religion is getting shit because it is based entirely around religion.  The company that made Star Wars:X-Wing suddenly closed up shop just as I was getting into playing that (wish I had bought the ships, they were pretty cool at least.

So I got nothing for this evening really, I did get told that I looked Dhalmeresque in one of the glasses frames I tried on.  i did not get those, I prefer the Ted Bundy look myself.  The trapezoid shaped lens on one pair that was brought to my attention made me really wonder about the motivations of the young lady helping me.

Anyway, the Draft is coming up.  Don’t care until the actual event, then I will watch just for the lols and for the interactions with the kommeteriat.

Oh, and that was a great the Padres had last night.  Fun game to watch.

May you live long and prosper, and your enemies die after short brutish lives.

Who, besides raging coke-heads, keeps $3,000 in cash on them?

WCS

If the opportunity ever develops, a DFO meetup at a UFL game (preferably DC) should happen. Same applies to anyone who wants to visit for the Draft next year.

Depending on, well, several potentialities, I may be able to accommodate one or two DFO’ers who want to make a pilgrimage to a Draft on the Road at my place of residence.

Something for yinz to keep in the back of your addled brains!

Giving meself a pat on the back for this call. Someone have a celebratory and good luck drink for me and the patient.

Mr. Ayo

Done and done

Mr. Ayo

So with the Pope’s death McJesus has lost his powers?

Still doesn’t explain Draisaitl unless he’s actually Judas.

Mr. Ayo

For fucks sake. Why do I even pretend to forecast sports event. Thank god I can’t gamble.

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, McJesus is real. Good thing I hate both of these teams equally and love free hockey unequivocally.

Mr. Ayo

HAHAHAHA. The Great Commission is underway for McJesus.

Doktor Zymm

I hope this dude is the next Pope

That’s awesome but they’ll make him change his name to something lame. Them the rules.

He could go with a Ninja Turtle name to keep the pizza theme, and we would all know and enjoy

Just got back from teppanyaki birthday dinner. SO FAT. And when it’s your birthday, this place gives you a to-go Sapporo (instead of cake or something stupid).

Mr. Ayo

Hold up, your birthday was yesterday. You are killing today?

And holy shit, AI is the greatest gift to us mere mortal humans

On April 21st, 2025, the following notable figures passed away: Val Kilmer, George Foreman, David Lynch, and Bob Uecker.

SonOfSpam

No, Hitler’s birthday was yesterday. Common mistake.

I’m sick, but at least it’s not COVID. Or at least none of the variants my expired test kits would recognize.

Have you tried taking Vitamin A? RFK jr

This is the only choice at the RFK Jr. household.

Actually, you just reminded me to take a multivitamin – much appreciated.

I have felt like stale hammered dogfuck for the better part of a week. Sucks.

Still hard to believe that was Ovi’s first OT winner

Ovie is going to author another Conn Smythe Playoffs, just because he can.

Easter is just as exhausting as Christmas. Somehow, it goes overlooked in terms of how much time, money, and investment goes into Jesus’ zombie era.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Ascension seems like an awfully convenient reason for Jesus just up and vanishing forty days after he miraculously came back to life. It’s like the apostles told everybody that he had come back to life, and strung them along for as long as they could, and then finally were like “oh, yeah, he disappeared, I guess he went back to heaven, sorry you missed him.”

Sharkbait

I KNEW Weekend at Bernie’s was a remake!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Like, you’d think a guy magically ascending into the sky would be as big of a deal as that same guy coming back to life, but even in Catholic school we didn’t talk much about what happened after the resurrection.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, just that Thomas guy jamming his thumb in wounds like it’s some sick kink, then BOOM chariot shows up, “Ok I’m out, good luck or not!”

Gumbygirl

Didn’t he just reabsorb into the host? The ghost too, I don’t remember any mention of him after the Ascension. I have to admit, I never believed a word of it, and I spent most of my time in Catholic school plotting mayhem instead of paying attention to the ridiculous stories. Um, no, Sister Virginia, I’m afraid I totally doubt that people back then lived to be 900 years old, or that they managed to fit two of every critter in the world in a boat not much bigger than the Minnow. But if you believe it, well I hope it helps you sleep at night!

Had some slices of leftover Easter ham. The perfect pairing? Not the Italian bread Madre Weaselo left me, but a piece from the remaining free box of matzoh!

With cheese.

Matzoh and ham? Ham and cheese? That’s not kosher!

Wifey made buttertarts on Sunday with layered phyllo pastry instead of regular dough. Ho. Lee. Fuckballs. Just incredible…

Didn’t bring back any melty pecan candy from Kentucky this time so I’ll only get a couple of diabeetus (at least one from the slice of chess pie alone) this trip instead of the full score

I’m listening to the Refractary Reds at work right now. I knew they should’ve saved some runs.
