I’m going continue the bit with the lists but we’re getting close to the end of this series of posts as the season is close. SOON! Tonight, I present to you a list of things I like that start with the letter Q:

  • Q (the James Bond character)
  • Quarters (the drinking game)
  • Quizzes (The Pub kind, not the Pop kind)
  • Quirks
  • Questions (25, to be exact)
  • Quality (Polis)
  • Quotables! (Bring it back, Blax!)
  • Quiet (independent of peace)
  • Quad exercises
  • Queefs
  • Quests
  • Quetzalcoatl (the god)

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

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

Golf Update

I played in a team tournament today. Last Sunday, I played Day Twos of the Club Championship and I did not do well. Well, not as well as Saturday. I was in the final group but I ended up one shot out of the money. We’ll see how I do today.

***

Sports Update

Last week, the NFL preseason started. This weekend, it continues. The funny thing is how quickly we went from “Yay Football!!” to “This blows. What else is on?”

***

Other Updates

I don’t remember who used to do the Saturday Night Open Threads during the season. Do you? If anyone wants to take this slot, let us know! I would love to see a college football column in this space, but I don’t know if Hippo would be up for it. If you’ve ever wanted to write, here’s your opportunity!

I am not going to be able to attend my IRL FF draft this year due to family commitments. I’m now at the mercy of someone else making my picks for me. Hopefully, I don’t get proper fucked.

I am looking forward to contending for the Freezer Vodka title! In reality, I just don’t want to get relegated. Good luck to all the participants, specially the newbies that promoted last year!

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s beverage is ice cold milk. Flacco would be proud.

That was really cool. I haven’t seen that movie with an audience in 26 years.

I also found out they’re playing The French Connection next weekend. So, yay.

1
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Welp, I stayed up for all of that. I can’t really answer as to why, so don’t ask me.

Feel free to copy and paste this for your own purposes during the NFL regular season.

I keep clicking the + but it won’t add more likes.

Forgot GWS was playing norf. I totally should have gone to sleep and fast forwarded through this tomorrow, but now I’m invested.

Found a funny:

using the power of AI, you can now step into and even talk with your favorite paintings, like the mona lisa! she won’t stop screaming. her mind cannot comprehend the third dimension we placed her in. every moment of her existence is like being smashed through a plate glass window in every direction

2Pack is the best Sexy Friday version of all of us.

You were focused on tantric stuff?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Or the Qama Sutra?

I still need to see Naked Gun tomorrow.

As an aside, I wish dues for the gym with the pool were reimbursed by my FSA administrator.

No big plans tomorrow so….another cocktail?

0
Mr. Ayo

Make those big plans for tonight. Have two cocktails.

3
BrettFavresColonoscopy

I already did, hence…. another

1
ballsofsteelandfury

You should be watching the GWS game!

1
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, shit, good call! I’ll finish this episode of Shoresy and get on that.

1
Unsurprised

Yes, have some.

/Pours another trenta cup full of vodka and seltzer

0
Unsurprised

Speaking of seltzer: I wish I found more of this when it was on sale because $4.29+10 cents/can Oregon Liberal Tax (i.e. bottle deposit) for an 8 pack is just obscene to this skinflint.

Is that any good? It sounds like it could be, but the Guy Fieri association makes me think it’s probably gross.

0
Unsurprised

It tastes like margarita spiced salt and mango flavoring. It would make a nice mockrita with a clear liquor like vodka

There’s gotta be a gif of it somewhere… Lemme see….

I prefer imginn because you can make it full-screen or download it. I miss Gfycat. I also miss their gif/movie editor

It was also a nice grab by the ballboy

1
Gumbygirl

I can see it if I click on the watch on Youtube. But maybe that’s only because I have Youtube TV. It was a helluva kick!

2
Unsurprised

Yeah. It just doesn’t embed. Gotta get those ad dollars somehow

I paid money in the year of Our Lord 2025 to see The Matrix in two hours.

I missed all the walkable screenings of Naked Gun for the day?

I can pregame and then postgame and not have to drive.

Man. Maybe I shouldn’t be drinking, but it’s not like I do this often. But when I do, I don’t do it half-assed. I use my whole ass.

Which game should I watch?

I’m playing the national anthem tomorrow! Hopefully my double stops don’t sound like shit, and hopefully my strings stay in tune so my double stops don’t sound like shit!

yeah right

Quick mock draft idea.

Worst nickname that you could possibly have been given.

My pick?

Pooter.

I assume we’ll all be kind enough to not draft usernames here.

An American walks into a bar in somewhere in Ireland and sits next to a really old guy drinking a beer. And the old guy’s like, “Did you see that wall on your way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built that wall with my own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Mason? Noooo.” Then he’s like, “Did you see those cabinets on your way into the bar?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I build those cabinets with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Carpenter? Noooo.” Then he says, “Did you see the iron gates on the way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built those gates with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Smith? Noooo. But you fuck one goat…”

I dunno, there are so many terrible ones, but one of my absolute favorites was when a Scottish guy eviscerated Trump in his first term with “you tiny fingered, Cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon.”

Wha is a quince?

2
Gumbygirl

Fruit that looks like a pear, but tastes horrible. Also a women’s clothing company that I am currently pissed off at. I ordered a pair of pants, and thought I changed my address before I did. Turns out, I didn’t do it correctly
(bullshit) and their customer ” service” is not helpful. So who knows when, or even if, the pants will show up. We shall see.

3
ballsofsteelandfury

To be fair, it’s your fault for buying pants.

You know the DFO policies…

2
Gumbygirl

You’d be surprised how many places require pants. I know, ridiculous, but the last thing I need is to be thrown in the pokey on a pantsless in public charge.

2
Mr. Ayo

They’re doing you a favoUr. We still have a no pants policy here.

I just buy my clothes at the clothes store like 3x a year.

I haaaaate trying shit on. I’d rather take my chances with mail order, try it on at home, realize I bought the wrong size, stomp around swearing, and return it.

JAX kicker just hit one from his own 40 to end the half.

If my math is correct, are you saying he hit a 70 yarder?

Isn’t that like 78 yards?!!!

I believe the term for that kick that I just watched is “piss missile.”

Doktor Zymm

Internet is back! My long, bleak, winter of the mind is finally over!

Of course, I’ve already moved to the other room and found my book so it doesn’t make a practical difference

2
Gatoraids

always one of the things that amuse me about amateur doomsday preppers how we get paralyzed without the internet let alone power for 3 hours. just take me in first wave of the virus, cyborgs or missile strikes

yeah right

Just find me a stack of books and I’m fine.

We’re going to robot umps next season. We’re already in, “even a woman could do it this bad”.

3
Senor Weaselo

Aww, Hatfields (a restaurant in Queens) closed down. That means there’s no point in opening up a restaurant across the street called McCoys.

6
Mr. Ayo

Or, and hear me out, you could open both!

2
Doktor Zymm

You still could, and then during the opening just point and laugh at the hollow shell where your blood enemy used to be

Doktor Zymm

I am suffering through the worst thing that can possibly happen to someone who is being overly melodramatic in this modern age: an internet outage.

I’m down to only mobile data with no ETA of broadband being restored. However will I survive this tradgedy? I guess I’ll go read a book and eat some Sponch! or do some chores or something
