The Gang Tries to Find FXX On Teevee Box Open Thread

That’s right, fellow chucklefucks – Season 17 premiere is TONITE, 9p EST on FXX.  I think it’s 108 or 109 on my cable?

Yes, I’m the Boomer who still has cable.  GIT off-a mah lawn.

You have now been Carpentered.  I’ve no interest in Word Counts.

Funny because I just finished watching Frozen Empire earlier in the evening.

And by “funny” I’m talking about the coincidence, not the movie itself.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Thank God for FXX because where else can I watch Simpsons episodes that look like shit in HD

Jimbo

Disney +

Would’ve assumed you had everything blocked except Manhole.

And you know what? Phil Hartman is a regular who voices multiple characters. Sideshow Bob is a recurring guest celebrity. If it’s cameos you want, ask for cameos. Maybe it was cameos but I don’t think so.

Greetings. I have been a bit MIA.

Lost my job. Had to move to Utah for work. Now currently in Texas, trying not to get killed by SpaceX.

Seriously, I have commissioned steel mills in Bangladesh that were less disorganized than this company. Hope everyone is doing well.

Good to see you again. Be well. Here take one of these… they help…

Yeah, me too!

Gumbygirl

The Dude abides! Glad you’re here, sorry you’re in Texas. But a jerb is a jerb, whachu gonna do?

That’s what we all said when jjfozz started working for the Baltimore Harbor Port Authority…

Hey! Good to hear from you!

Col. Duke LaCross

Sorry about Utah.

Not sure if anything happened to you here, but I just feel like I should apologize for this shithole.

ballsofsteelandfury

Good to hear from you too!

Gumbygirl

We know that you’re not like those people, (Mormons) you’re just playing through!

WCS

My brother moved to Salt Lake last year, too.

What should I be aware of?

Col. Duke LaCross

Metered shots.

Doktor Zymm

Good to hear from you! And good luck with working for a Musk company, hope things improve

Mr. Ayo

On the plus side you can blow some big stuff up real good.

I was about to post new Sunny tonight. Our esteemed royal aquatic mammal took it even further.
Ass slaps all around! (Always consensual, of course)

scotchnaut

This kills me every time-Charlie Kelly just throwing things out there and catching his buddies by surprise.

“What do you think is happening *right now*?!”

scotchnaut

These Parts Unknown Bourdain episodes are hard to watch because the tacit understanding was that he wasn’t going to end his life by his own hand. By that metric, how can you take anything the guy says seriously at any point in the show?

scotchnaut

Was that joke darker than Caravaggio’s “Judith Beheading Holofernes”? Opinions Differ!

It was so dark that TAWMMY doesn’t want it going to his nephew’s school.

The Dr. Mrs. simply cannot abide the characters in Always Sunny, because they are such unimaginably awful people. I try to explain to her that such is what makes the show fun; they are terrible, and unlike the characters on Seinfeld, they are constantly being punished for being so terrible. It doesn’t work, though.

Dunstan

Yeah, I had the same issue when I tried to get into the show.

Jimbo

I like the show but I’m at least 7 seasons behind and not sure if I can jump back in now.

Mr. Ayo

It’s not like Granny Gang Bang Blast 7 where you need the backstory of the first six versions to understand what’s going on.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Eh, with the amount of retconning they do in that series the stuff that happens in the first three films barely even matters anymore.

scotchnaut

Nothing Makes Sense Anymore Alert:

-Can I swim the Butterfly Stroke for a kilometer and a bit? Yes.

-Can I make two trips of groceries from the car to the kitchen (I’m guessing 20lbs total) without desperately seeking the couch and trying to catch my breath? Nope.

/what the hell is going on? Wife and I both at a loss. I don’t know what to be tested for at this point. Separate heart and lung specialists have given me a clean bill of health.

//I’ll hang up, put on my bathing suit, go for a swim and read your answers later

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is the Canadian butterfly the same as the regular one? Because I swim about 2 km every week and doing a single lap of butterfly leaves me gasping (and not the good kind of gasping the way I was after that one time in Venice…)

That really is very strange.

scotchnaut

I can’t do the full butterfly but that’s what I call it.

/just to reiterate, I can expend all kinds of energy in the lake and it’s all good* but carrying things, lifting stuff over my head on solid ground makes me want to collapse.

*will be gasping for breath for a short time upon reaching shore but just like a regular intense workout

Doktor Zymm

Are you more out of breath when still in the water at the end of a swim, or upon standing outside the water? If the second then that’s another indication it might be postural/orthostatic

litre_cola

Go get tested like an nhl player on a bike for your lungs etc. Could do it at a physiotherapist.

scotchnaut

Did a lung capacity test 4 years ago and all was good. That said, maybe should request another.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

josh gordon set an nfl record for lung capacity ppl forget that

scotchnaut

Chris Henry set a record for gravity defiance until he didn’t-ppl forget that.

BeefReeferLives

Hmmm. Are you a dolphin?

That may explain it…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That excuse didn’t work for me during my interrogation by SVU and it won’t work here either.

scotchnaut

Not just yet…

Check your bone density. Do you lift weights or do any high impact cardio? I read a study years ago that said athletes that did swimming and bike exclusively suffered from bone density loss. It said the body is smart. It will take assets from unused areas to plus up the used (cardio in this case) areas.

I think this is it. If you’re not lifting regularly, your body doesn’t like it when you try to do it occasionally.

Swimming doesn’t equal strength

ballsofsteelandfury

Also, I’m disappointed you’re wearing a swimming suit…

SonOfSpam

My bone density has suffered as I’ve aged, but we may not be talking about the same thing.

2Pack

As a swimmer you just know it’s the banana pouch variety.

2Pack

The study looked at elite level swimmers and bike racers. It found unsurprisingly that they had VO2 levels off the charts good. But… They had the bone density of a 60 year old woman. It recommended they add weights and/or high impact cardio to get a better balance.

Doktor Zymm

Happens to astronauts in microgravity too!

Doktor Zymm

Does this generalize to being able to do other strenuous exercise while prone vs standing? There’s things like POTS where posture plays a role

Doktor Zymm

Simplest at home test would be to wear compression garments and see if that helps

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

…including lightheadedness, brain fog, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, headaches, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, nausea, difficulty concentrating, tremulousness (shaking), syncope (fainting), coldness, pain, or numbness in the extremities, chest pain…

…and chronic nagging…nagging..nagging…

We should all get lab coats and open a clinic.
