Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 2025-26

FB_IMG_1753273929715

I’m going continue the bit with the lists. Tonight, I present to you a list of things I like that start with the letter Y:

  • Yoni (look it up)
  • YSL (perfume)
  • Yachts (Someday….)
  • York (the old one in England, not the New one in America)
  • Yellowfin (tuna)
  • Yes (the affirmation, not the band)
  • YVR (IYKYK)
  • YOLO (life is too short)
  • Yarns (as in stories, not knitting materials)
  • Yogurt (specially peach)
  • Yoga
  • Yucatan (the peninsula)

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

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

Golf Update

I played Day One of the two-day championship for one of my clubs today. We play one course Saturday and a different one on Sunday. I shall report on progress in the comments.

***

Sports Update

Last week, we had Mexican soccer going against USA soccer and no one cared. The Hall of Fame Game was interesting for ten seconds and that was it. The off-field stuff can be summarized in one sentence: The Bengals and Cowboys keep fucking up.

***

Other Updates

I did my first weigh-in last week and I have lowered my body fat percentage from 25.4% to 24.1%. I’ve got two months to get to 20.4%

I am doing research for FF this year and I’ve decided that I will go for players in teams that know what the fuck they are doing. While it’s tempting to pick the only bright star in an otherwise shitty team (since the offense will go through them), you’re one injury away from disaster.

I forgot to do my Monthly Goals update! Nothing new to report as July was a quiet month. The two people I was trying to get rid of are still there.

In related news, I have figured out that I will be able to retire a few months earlier than I originally thought. Just three more years…

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s beverage is Celsius Playa Vibe. Try it with rum!

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.

My Y is for Yvonne Di Carlos, an actress from Hollywoods golden era… before her gig on The Munsters which was must see TV for me and my people.

Yvonne Strahovski is no slouch either.

Yvonne is a pretty name

Yvonne Furneaux helped “shape’ younger WCS.

I think not having a pro sports team is a good thing for Hawaii.

Also I ran out weed. Which is probably for the best because I’ve been overdoing it. So I’ve been checking out this kava scene. It does something — but it doesnt get me high as shit so I won’t be back.

Gumbygirl

I’m taking a break too. I was definitely overdoing it. I’m in an apartment now, so I can’t smoke on my patio. There’s a 9 hole golf course on the property, so I can walk out there, but I haven’t yet. It’s too hot during the day, and I get lazy at night.

blaxabbath

I get that. And I’m sure as a woman who only watches Lifetime “missing women” marathons, I understand your apprehension to just go for a walk smoking a joint.

Also, Phoenix opened August by setting another daily heat record. I may be in the same boat as you in six days.

Gumbygirl

I don’t watch that stuff. I live in an over 55 community, the vast majority of men around here are old geezers I could easily beat the shit out of.

Gumbygirl

Yorka ( the one in England) is one of my favorite places!

litre_cola

Thom Yorke is pretty good at music.

Gumbygirl

Lol, I love it so much I spelled it wrong!

Doktor Zymm

It’s not for girls, so good thing you’re a LADY

Saw this and thought about Friday’s request line…

If you read the earlier thread. I did achieve ultimate dadness. I bought Deci a new (used) bike from a place that refurbishes them etc which gave Mrs. Cola a 2 hour break from us knuckleheads. Then brought the fam back to the bike shoppe where Deci donated his old one for another kid as that is what this place does. After that got fried chicken, a Banh Mi, and went to a brewery and sat in the sun drinking beer for 4 hours with a good friend.

Plus it’s a long weekend so today doesn’t count.

rockingdog

Looks like they’re doing the race track baseball game tomorrow. Let this weather pass.
That seems Rocking!

Bogdanski

Anyone know about the team with the BFIB wearing these blue uniforms? And on the road? San Diego weekend baseball is usually a non-stop tribute to the troops. I am easily confused but this does seem novel

Bogdanski

Alas, despite leading early the Padres did not manage to win. Not very rocking

Doktor Zymm

The mention of beer bath below reminded me of Piva Beer Spa in Chicago. It’s pretty awesome

Thanks to the rain, this MLB Speedway Classic is a Class-4 Cluster.

yeah right

60 minute guitar session.

Haven’t played in 4 weeks.

There’s something there.

Senor Weaselo

We cut to Senor Weaselo, out for Szechuan with Senorita Weaselo and her best friend.

(Don T is already aware of this.)

Gumbygirl

Hot stuff!

ArmedandHammered

My wife and I have sat outside on the porch all day reading. It has been glorious.

BeefReeferLives

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day…

Doktor Zymm

Hammock? Rocking chair? Lounger?

Mr. Ayo

NERD!

j/k. That’s sounds like a wonderful day.

SonOfSpam

Is that legal in the South?

Horatio Cornblower

We did a bonfire until the mosquitos got too bold. Started reading Frank Brill’s ‘Donnybrook’ based on Yeah Right’s recommendation, and I suspect I may be finishing it around 3:00 am.

Hell of a ride so far.

DJ TAJ

That book kicks ass

blaxabbath

That’s a great idea.

I plan to pick up my reading now that the New Taxes Recession is well-underway. Which, to be honest, is nicer than working all the time.

rockingdog

That’s Rocking!

Jimbo

Not sure about this.

I’ve done that before – a shower, actually – with a leftover keg from a dorm party. It was pretty cool.

Doktor Zymm

It’s actually really great. Been here a couple times and it’s fantastic. I should book for next week since I’ll be in Chicago waiting for the movers to show up!

Mr. Ayo

The only thing I despise about soccer is pennos. Such a terrible way to determine the biggest games and tournaments.

Mr. Ayo

To be fair, these ladies continue to fuck it up enough to make it a bit amusing.

litre_cola

Watching Minny v Club America? Here we go.

Brick Meathook

This should be an unique game.

Mr. Ayo

That’s great. Shoot in the 80s and I’ll fly down and join you.

Mr. Ayo

I’m just kidding. I’ll be there as long as the bar is open.

SonOfSpam

I can probably shoot in the 80s. (nine-hole pitch n putt)

Mr. Ayo

That counts!

Doktor Zymm

I might be able to shoot in the 80s, probably a 28 gauge since I’ll be in my late 90s by 2080

2Pack

Well done Sir
