Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
We all have a monster within; the difference is in degree, not in kind [in bed].
Douglas Preston
Not sure what to make of this one, someone that’s better at the whole English and meanings thingy will have to explain this one to me in small words, charts and images.
Managed to meet up with yeah right and DJ Taj in the Torana last week for a Blue Jays game and dinner. Twas very good to put faces and voices with screen names and hang out for a bit. This brings me up to meeting a total of 3 DFO’ers so far, which is still way behind many of youz, but getting there.
One thing that does always confuse me is when talking with other DFOers, is that we all switch between real name and screen name interchangeably, but like the other person knows that person. So easy to get confused and it doesn’t help that I’m awful at remembering names at the best of times.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
I’ve been taking Mounjaro for the Type 2 diabeetus/fat guy combo since last September. I’ve lost 40 lbs, and my A1C is down to 5.4. I’m still on the lowest dosage, and I want to stay on it as long as Line Go Down, because once you top out on the dosage you’re done losing weight on it.
One thing that reddit mentions is ‘food noise’. That mid-afternoon or late evening urge to grab a snack. It seems to dial back that 3 and 10 PM, “I’m hungry,” sensation.
One thing reddit also mentions is that your stomach will let you know if you eat too much. Which is true. I’m not going to barf if I do that, but I do get a little uncomfortable. You might also get constipated, or diarrhea, or one followed immediately by the other.
At any rate, for me that shit is a miracle drug.

It’s Jackie Robinson day in the MLB or as Fox News would say a dark day in American history.

It’s the season finale of RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

When I’m in charge of all sports broadcasting, it will be a firing offense for a commentator to say “a two goal lead is the worst lead in hockey.”
It’s not. Because, you see, the object in hockey is to score more goals than your opponent, and advanced math tells me that 2 > 1.
Also, nobody ever says that the team up by two goals should let the other team score so that it’s the “safer” one-goal lead. So stop uttering this brainless cliche.

Quite the amazing day in Toronto. TAJ and I and Game Time Decision did this town proper.
Vlad Jr hit his first dinger of the year and the Jays beat the Braves 3-1.
That’s a good baseball experience. Fun stadium.
Everyone is incredibly nice.
Now let’s get after this town again tomorrow.
Something about a pea meal bacon sandwich?
yeah right
It’s cold as FUCK out there.

But I’ve had worse views from my rental.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell broke down in court this week, telling a judge he has no money left to pay the sanctions imposed against him in a defamation case brought by voting technology company Smartmatic.
“I’m in ruins,” Lindell said tearfully during a virtual hearing before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Wednesday, according to a report from ABC News. “I borrowed everything I can. Nobody will lend me any money anymore.”
BugEyedBoo
Judge: “So you have no money?”
Lindell: “No, your honor. I’m flat broke.”
Judge: “Do you have any money in the Cayman Islands though?”
Lindell: “Well, not all of their islands.”
Judge: [raises eyebrows]
Lindell: “FUCK!”

So our 13-year-old cat didn’t eat most of yesterday’s dinner, didn’t eat breakfast, and just turned up his nose at dinner. He did take two cat treats. He’s also willing to stay cuddled up in your lap, which he never does.
If dies on Friday I expect him back Sunday.
Horatio Cornblower
Looky what we found.
yeah right
Let’s get the Good Friday festivities off with a bang!

Did I just buy this book primarily to make jokes about Duke WCS taking his rightful place as the ruler of Mexican and Texas?
I mean, it’s not like he’s going to do any worse than at least the current guy in Texas.

Evening. Tis my Birfday.

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.
Horatio Cornblower
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.
scotchnaut
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.

MIL is lamenting (on Facebook because she’s 70+ years-old and has no filter whatsoever) that there is no Easter get-together. This is her passive-aggressive code for being angry that she doesn’t get a turkey/ham supper that she feels her offspring owe her because she cooked for them as they were growing up. Every gotdamn thing is transactional for her.
scotchnaut
Get a turkey/ham dinner from Bob Evans or similar and send her a picture of you eating it.

Easter blues… Princess, Duke WCS, and her highness’ family is rocked with the flu this weekend and can’t make it. Reliving COVID and/or Black Death times sucks.
I’m not wholly unconvinced princess and I are old, recycled souls that run into each other every few lifetimes. She’s always some station higher than me. Somehow, I keep shoehorning myself into each of her lives. We do make an amazing baby together. She loves and hates me for it 🙂
Merry Easter, yinz folks. Hope you’re all doing well on the supposed biggest day of Christianity’s year that goes relatively unnoticed in the grand scheme of things. Love you all, love my kids, love and miss princess and Duke WCS. I know I may bring them up too frequently, but, I really do love them. Yinz aren’t bad, either.

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.
Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Apropos of nothing, I’ve been rereading the Game of Thrones books at a very leisurely pace, and if there is a worse character in history than Catelyn Stark then I don’t know them, and yes, I’d include Satan on that list.
Wow, Cubs fans sure are excited for April dirtball
After talking with the few remaining business associates informally, it’s looks like I’m the fella that will have to raise the possibility in our ownership meeting that the guy that recently passed away wasn’t good at his job and we should start a hiring process. Fun times…
Surround yourself with your own people, like a mob boss! But no Fredos.
Fredo? I always hated that guy…
Wait, you’re in the Papal Conclave!?!?
Here’s a weird little coinkydink. I was commenting on a thread on Wonkette, and somehow it ended up with us spouting Donovan lyrics at each other. I just read one that said Oh Juanita, I call your name, when my phone rang. Guess who called me? And no, it was not the Hurdy Gurdy Man.
You know who played guitar on Hurdy Gurdy Man? Jimmy Paige.
Been super busy at work, fixed some stuff today and got it all in before release. Now watching the production run and sipping the Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked, good stuff
…
I’m really sick today. Last night I had the chills, which for me is the worst symptom. Now I feel hungover; as bad as I would if I’d taken a swig from every single bottle in my liquor cabinet.
I thought taking a swig from every single bottle in the liquor cabinet was the cure for feeling bad. Drink up!
I mean, it’s not like he’s going to feel worse…
Sounds like you need some sizzurp.
I wouldn’t recommend the Pete Hegseth morning routine to you, but RFK Jr approves!
I’m relieved to know it’s not just in my head- I have the same thing.
I hope the new pope is one of those fun popes from the early church. You know, a pope with at least one mistress, a disturbing fetish to two, a couple of kids he’s grooming to succeed him, and just no interest in anythingnother than expanding the power of The Vatican to at least take over Rome.
Maybe a name like a Sylvester XVIII as well.
Hey Horatio, watching some coverage of the Kimberly Sullivan trial, since my daughter works at that court house (I think), I was hoping to get a glance at her.
Is that the whack job who imprisoned her stepson?
I’m trying not to pay attention to that, but the local news is on that like 13-year-old me with a Penthouse I found in the woods.
Yep, my daughter actually works at the New London court house and she is happy the case is in Waterbury.
Yeah, that woman imprisoned, tortured, starved the poor kid. I hope something happens to her that gives her as much pain, agony, horror and despair that child suffered. Fuck her, death is much, much too easy. Maybe solitary confinement with the occasional beating performed by other inmates during the occasional times she is let out.
only feed AFTER a beating. No beating, no food
She gave that poor kid two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a day. She needs to be covered in peanut butter and jelly and staked to a fire ant hill.
“she is happy the case is in Waterbury.”
Always nice to see “happy” and “Waterbury” in the same sentence. It’s like seeing a unicorn.
I want a black pope who has to fiercely resist pressure to take the name Pope Urban IX.
Vatican needs more sexy nuns.

My favorite pope name is Innocent. Ha, not fucking likely!
Well fucking of the innocent by the church has historical precedence.
Thanks GTD, solid review as usual. Since the progress on Mounjaro and weight loss look good, any chance of you getting off of it totally?
I’m reading these comments with the cat in question sitting next to me, on his window seat, purring angrily.
I might be in trouble here.
(he’s doing much better, although he’s still not thrilled with actual healthy cat food and is subsisting on some sort of kitty junk food called Churos, so basically he’s gone full America on my ass)
Those little tube things? Yeah, they have been working with my cat too.
I read the back of one of them. “Not to comprise more than 10% of cat’s diet”
My Cat: “You can fuck right outta here with that. 96% or bust!!”
Glad to hear the lil guy is still with you & purring along.
Junk food & the possibility of more junk food to come is a good reason to keep living.
That looks exactly like my cat, Henry. Wait…are you in my house?
Oh shit, everyone scatter!!!
If he’s in your house in the middle of your street, that’s pure Madness!
Madness ? I’m One Step Beyond!
yeah those Churos are crack for cats, we use them to feed them while trimming their nails works like a charm
As long as he’s eating something, who cares?
