Notes and Comments
Collingwood is just a powerhouse at this point. They should spend the rest of the season getting themselves in the best shape possible for finals.
Geelong will probably end up second and I don’t say that because I’m a fan or because they’re that good. I say it because their schedule down the stretch is softer than my Butt Pillow.
One of the biggest questions of the year so far is: What the heck has happened to Sydney?!? They’ve been in the Grand Final two out of the last three years. How are they so bad now?
The Blues are continuing their freefall with a big away loss to Port Adelaide. The rumours about the coach losing his job are getting louder. He might not finish the season.
Next week, the byes are over, except for Essendon and Gold Coast, who still have to make up the game missed due to Tropical Cyclone Arthur. No word from the AFL on when that will be made up.
A hearty well done to the FIVE tippers that had a perfect week but EXTRA SPECIAL kudos to Sharky, who had a PERFECT PERFECT week getting all the picks correct as well as a margin of 0! I don’t think that’s ever been done!
If you are a member of an AFL club or you got a Watch AFL membership, you should be able to watch every AFL and AFLW game, including replays. Game times vary between Australian afternoon and evening, which actually makes it easier for us in North America to watch as the games can be seeing in the evenings on Pacific Time and early mornings on Eastern time.
If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the AFL and AFLW games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website. But I do recommend that you join a club. It’s fun and they send you free shit.
See you next week!
Oh look, the US is beating up on a smaller Central American country-this is not a repeat from the mid 1800’s until now.
What, you want me to pay a fair price for bananas? Fuck outta here!
Fair Trade Bananas is the name of my bar that features half-price Mojitos between 7 and 11am because we’re trying to attract the resto server’s crowd in downtown Manhattan.
Those pair well with Hobo Tartare.
Remember the Alamo Car Rental place!
That’s what they’re there for.
Be thankful we’re not beating up on Canada.

Under your current leadership there would be an invasion of Sable Island and an all-out victory would be declared.
The baby US player scores! This Children’s Wish Foundation game is unfolding according to expectations!
I’m sick. Boo gave me his summer cold. I’m in bed boohooing, are you happy now?
Is this you breaking boo news or have I just been AWOL? Either way, happy for you!
I was whining earlier about having a summer cold.
Touché
Oh, apropos of nothing, I’m resuming normal freakoff activities. Inquire within or just wait to be incapacitated and transported to the warehouse.
Just leave the money on the dresser like normal, Daddy.
What’s the betting line on, “Only Blondes Will Score” in this tilt?
Valkyries look old and slow.
SELECTIONS!
Neutral Milk Hotel – #14
Valkyries – #7
There’s only so much hot white-on-white action I can handle!
Welp, the Finns won, just as I didn’t predict.
Up next, the host Swiss Misses will take on the Norwegian She-Vikings. Norway’s probably better, but the Swiss are at home. So…2-2 draw? There, I made a call, go bet against it.

Oh Crap I think Bagel got into the gummies again.
Calm down Bagel, you can’t touch the sun.
He needs a soothing blanket of cream cheese!
And a gentle shower of capers!
Downvoting capers
Was disappointed that “Angry Bagel Bleeding Ketchup From One Eye” was not mounted (heh) in the Guggenheim the last time I was there.
Finnish goalie is good at punching balls…her younger brother must have had it rough growing up but as an adult at least he knows where his kink originated.

I went swimming at SIL’s yesterday. I looked like a beluga with legs.
I’m positive that you are simply ravishing.
I’m old and fat, but bless your heart!
Not to us Doll.
We’re all pretty on the inside!
As a pacific northwesterner with more than a bit of girth, I resemble that remark.
DARKEST TIMELINE HAS GONE TOO FAR!
…and we have our first sighting of Baby Oil outside of the courthouse.

It’s kind of funny that the biggest sporting events over Independence Day weekend are a tennis tournament in England and the Club World Cup featuring primarily non-American teams. Except of course for the Nathan’s taco eating competition, which could be argued as the MOST American sporting event in existence.
I would watch the shit out of a taco eating contest on Coney Island. That would be more disgusting that an Eli Roth movie.
My wife’s coworker offered me a ticket to the Dodgers/Astros game on Friday night , the catch is I have to drive and buy him beer. That’s a no for me.
“Enjoy your $40 ticket!”
(buys $80 in beer that I can’t enjoy because I have to drive)
Also he’s kind of a loud mouth eye-talian dude, no offence obviously.
Instead we are driving out to the desert to visit some friends and celebrate America by blowing up a small part of it.
The “follow me” never fails to crack me up.

It’s kind of the equivalent of JPP’s hand when also exposed to illegal fireworks.
Redshirt can back me up on this: here in Ohio it used to be you could buy the seriously explodey fireworks legally, but it was illegal to set off fireworks in Ohio. When you bought them you had to sign a document swearing that you totally weren’t going to set off these fireworks in the state of Ohio. A couple of years ago they repealed the law making setting them off illegal, so now you could set them off with a clear conscience.
Drive including parking, I assume. He’s no friend; don’t even deserve some ballpark pretzeled bread.
No way!
The ticket in exchange for the ride, that’s it. Split parking, let him buy his own fucking beer. Tell him a return ride is not guaranteed.
Ass, gas or grass, no one rides for free. And a ticket to a baseball game is none of those things.
#5 on Finalnd is one hell of a player
The Finnish gaffer is this tournament’s “Key Party” guy
Icelandic National Anthem – Fuck me, it’s cold out here.
I haven’t seen all of Mystery, Alaska but having Little Richard extend the national anthem so the Rangers would get cold was a cute bit.
I’m mad enough without reading any “Puffy” shit.
Keep an eye on Iceland, Denmark, and Norway in the European Euros, for pervert and sporting reasons.
I’m disappointed because I’ve always hated the guy, but I’m not going to second-guess the jury. Given that they convicted him on two counts they clearly weren’t in the tank for him; I’ll presume that the prosecution failed to make their case and simply move on with my day.
Plus, it’s pretty clear that the US judicial system thinks the 14th and 19th amendments barely matter.
I think the judicial system as a whole thinks they matter, but the Supreme Court has other ideas.
I can’t say I followed the case more than a weekly recap in the Sunday NYT, but there seemed to be a pretty big consensus that trying to turn what should have been state domestic violence charges into a federal racketeering case was a big mistake.
I guess the two charges he was convicted of can get him as much as 20 years; it’ll be interesting to see what the Court does with that.
1 Gets email from AFL saying that I got 6 of 7 right. Wooohoo
2 Log into site to make this weeks picks, see that most got all picks right last week. WTF
3 ???
4 Stay in basement of pick pool standings and not profit
So. We can work today, or we can watch Iceland v Finland (EuroChicks Tourney) in 20 minutes. I got a couple grand on the fighting Bjorks. (give or take a couple grand)
I can’t decide whether to “claim” #3 or #4 for the mighty #IceQueens
UPDATE! It shall be #4, update your draft restraining orders accordingly.
When choosing between two new cars, test drive both. Same with Fleshlights.
I’m off until Monday so pants off and TV on.
Stay hydrated.
I’m working today and tomorrow, but I’ve let everyone know I checked out mentally yesterday.
I’ve been a zombie all week. Summertime colds are the worst.
I’m healthy, just apathetic.

As always, celebrities and rich men are allowed to force you to have sex, but in a sudden change, cannot profit on the action monetarily. Experts call this a breakthrough for common folk everywhere, at least until one of Trump’s donors bring it up on a phone call, which will surely lead to a corrective Executive Action.
The White House’s reaction to the news (artist’s conception):
Solid showing by Essendon, battling the bye week to a 0-0 draw.
Hey Balls you would love it over here now. Current ladies fashion is short shorts with ample azz hangin out.
Wowza!
Well, P.Diddy’s likely going to walk on the most serious charges, so everything continues to be awesome.
.
Ugh I forgot to get my tip in. Is this why I don’t have kids yet?
Well, clearly… At least GWS didn’t lose!
And yet somehow they still lost by not playing, dropping out of the 8
You are disappointing your mother.
Constants stay constant
A mother I’d like to disappoint (plastic surgeon’s conception):
What was Carol Brady doing for $$$ before she met Mike Brady? She had to have had a house that is no longer in the picture. And I thought we were seeing the Bradys fairly early in their relationship, so Carol’s first husband could have paid for one of the cars.
They should do a grimdark film or streaming series, where Mike and Carol go all Double Indemnity and off her rich husband. They have to pay off Alice because she found out/actively helped.
Right? !? For that matter, what happened to Mike’s ex-wife? Was it a “I’ll do yours, you do mine” scenario?
I think Mr. Brady would have gone for that “Wait, I was supposed to OFF him?”, as he walks away wiping wiping his mouth.
Wife says, “They never said what happened to Mike and Carol’s spouses.”
I think their respective spouses had died, I thought the opening song mentions that, or I could just be mis-remembering. My personal thought is that the old spouses ran away together to get away from their families. Mike and Carol bonded over the betrayal, fell in love, and took out hits on their spouses so they would be free to marry.
Yeah, if I remember correctly they were a widow and widower.
Which, of course, doesn’t mean they didn’t kill their spouses themselves.
1/2 right.
faq.htm
Mike’s a widower. They never say what happened to Carol’s husband. Apparently a dispute between show creator and producers.
“Criss-cross!”
