Monday Evening Open Thread – a nuanced discussion

Evening all.

Fine evening, if you find the proper nuance to flavor your perception.  No, I am not stoned when I am writing this (lies, lies, and damned lies) but I have been sitting through work Zoom meetings all day.  Nuance seems to be the newly popular word for use in business and politics, and I am really, really beginning to hate it.  Every time our sales weasel was trying to get out of saying something straight up, the word nuance would suddenly be in almost every sentence, and used in such a way to assuage the concerns without actually saying anything, even if the truth was the opposite.  I just wanted to drop and shake my head, I will leave it to you to discern whether it was in admiration or despair via your nuanced take on this post.

I really, really hate it being used within the discussion of politics because every single fucking empty talking head makes it seem the only way to fully understand the nuances of the President’s actions.  Whut?  The President is as nuanced as an anvil being dropped on your head by your ex, or a coyote, or a wisecracking rabbit.  Onions and Ogres may have layers, but our President and administration?  Pffffftttttttt.  The only nuance is the smell and if it indicates a diaper change is warranted.  Not that I should say anything, I hope I live long enough to be elderly and need diapers, not anytime soon.  Even I am not that lazy.

Anyway Monday Night Football starts on 9/8 for the regular, although there is a pre-season game next week.  I will be watching as I really enjoyed the games yesterday, if not the best football, at least very entertaining.

Lots of MLB tonight, I have no idea about the futbol but since it is the most popular sport in the world I expect there to be a game on somewhere, but for me, the action is Wednesday, the Little League World Series 18 and 19 year olds pretending to be much younger, lots of kids for whom this will sadly be the high point in their lives (lucky brats, I am still wondering when mine will be).  I loved driving through Williamsport in August watching the kids trying to cross the road to the fields, working on their reactions by dodging the traffic, and although the ratio was low, there were some very nice MILFs among the LLMs (Little League Moms) so the scenery could be good.  Glad I do not have to drive that anymore.

Word count, check, still need a dick joke.  I wonder if the dildos being thrown at the WNBA games are green to represent the money they think they should be making or in memory of cucumbers past?
