Monday Night Open Thread – Soon, so soon

The penultimate off-season Monday Night Open Thread.  Soon, we will have games to soothe our eyes and the Manning brothers to entertain us masses.  No rabbits in the banner tonight, will have to post in comments when I can get the images to download.  We gave our fluffiest rabbit her bi-monthly haircut and she went from looking like a Shitzu to looking like an emaciated scottish terrier.  My wife’s styling skills are rather rudimentary so Snickers has lots of speed lines giving her sort an art deco look.

For Senor Weaslo I have the below picture taken at the North Carolina Farmers Market, I did not buy any, I have never heard of peach habaneros, they were peach colored and the vendor said their were hints of peach in the taste.  Right, like I would be able to taste anything as my tongue melts down due to the heat.  Still not sure how my wife got me to agree to this outing, gotta be careful to maintain the hermit image.

This was really beautiful in person, and they had so many peppers, including those little asian peppers that the heat creeps up till your esophagous dissolves and omeprazole becomes the latest addition to the pill dispenser.  Also picked up several tomato varietals to use in a cucumber/tomato salad.  It was good to see that there were so many varieties available.  Dammit, forgot to get bacon while I was at the store, one of the tomatos is earmarked for BLTs.  THAT, is the best sandwich if the bacon and veggies are fresh and tasty.  Fight me.

Anyway, teams are making some hard and well, some not so hard, decisions on who to keep and who to waive.  Not going to do a rundown here becuause it will have changed by the time this will have been published and I am by nature, lazy.

Discuss why someone was dropped, not dropped, or made the starter to your hearts content.  Contiue to make fun of Jerry Jones and his whims (I meant decisions) and how they make the Cowboys so much fun to watch, for their adversaries at least.  Sorry Horatio.

Was the point of Trump raping all those kids on Epstein Island and then blatantly covering it up so that America would feel like a President Couch Fucker is mending the nation’s moral fabric?

WCS

I’ve nabbed three different domestic abuse incidents in the last two-plus hours.
It’s great know we’re tangibly helping society, while becoming more cynical about the same society.

We’re never going to stop-stop-stop it, but at least we got stop-stopped three tonight, anyway. That’s has to count for something, right?

This was the worst Manhattan I have ever had, in that it completely failed to make me want to have another of the same. I think my sweet vermouth has gone off.

That’s ROCKING!

Snickers has lots of speed lines

Tell me more about these speed lines. Todd Marinovich, Parts Unknown

I don’t know what the devil on Marinovich’s shoulder looks like, but the angel is a tiny version of Jim Irsay.

WCS

It is Jim Irsay now.

That’s an outstanding looking farmer’s market there Buddy. Our girl would certainly approve.

Jesús!

WCS

Just had someone dial 9-1-1 to ask if the police will get them internet or wifi access.
“Do you need police, or the fire department, or paramedics? Because I can help with that.”
“No, just if police will give me internet.”
“…No.”
“Okay, thanks,” and hung-up.

The public.

And these people vote.

Which explains a lot, actually.

Doktor Zymm

I’m actually surprised you haven’t had more stupid calls, there were people who called 911 for facebook being down

WCS

I was just typing this to her highness…

(Call-taker) next to me just asked a caller, “What (someone) are they wearing?” in to help police figure out who’s who on whatever scene. “Clothes,” was the response.

If they need a lock picked pretty soon you can tell them that you know a guy.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and watch this type of person live their daily life. I suspect it would make me feel like some kind of sage-like, super-competent demigod.

Brick Meathook

I just bought a lock-picking tool set online.

I’ve never picked a lock nor do I know any locks that need picking.

But now I can.

Just his tools.

Enjoy, looks fun!

Brick’s so good at lockpicking, he seems to have an invisible touch

Breaking in? Me? Officer, there must be some misunderstanding

Brick rides in Swedish taxis. He insists on an Abba cab

Dammit, I need that flashlight to pick this lock…turn it on again

Ok, that’s all

WCS

In this land of confusion, one’s mama can really take it all too hard.

This is the only Phil Collins Genesis song I like. Gumby and I made out to it in his dad’s car when we were in high school.

I’d say this would get you added to some watch list, but are there any watch lists you weren’t already on?

Doktor Zymm

Did it come with one of those clear locks? If not worth picking (ha!) one up

Brick Meathook

I just cancelled my original order (just the Genesis set) and ordered the “Learn Lockpicking Bundle” which includes the Genesis plus a practice lock. I didn’t even notice them before. This was obviously an impulse purchase.

I’m on so many top-secret-clearance lists (expired) that I don’t need to give a shit about watch lists or the discount rent-a-cops who attempt to enforce them and I’ve tested this rule before. Brick gets around.

Gumby took a locksmithing class years ago. He had a set of picks, I’m not sure if they were among the tools I kept or the ones I got rid of.

Doktor Zymm

+1 on BLTs being quality

ballsofsteelandfury

It is so weird to read you guys posting about baseball considering I used to love it and now I have no clue who you guys are talking about.

Reggie Jackson still Mr. October?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Do you mean Dwayne Zackemore?

ballsofsteelandfury

Now that’s clearly a made up name!

SonOfSpam

I think it’s Bob Dylan’s birth name.

Damn, I thought you would get that Baseketball reference…

ballsofsteelandfury

Believe it or not, I’ve never seen that movie.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Rectify that!

Cal Raleigh just hit #50 – hope Ayo is there!

Mr. Ayo

Not tonight. I’ll be there Wednesday though to watch the end of the Padres sweep.

DJ TAJ

I did not post that crap

Sorry kill me

Alcaraz looks like a freed soldier from the Unsullied

Mr. Ayo

Damn, I’m coloUrblind. At first I thought it was black, then dark blue, and now I can finally see that it’s red.

SonOfSpam

All good, the pepper pic is priceless.

Gumbygirl

Ha, I know what you mean. I try not to make eye contact with the vendors I don’t buy anything from.

Better throw it down the stairs, just in case. – M. Gaetz, Pensacola, FL

WCS

Yeah.

Yeah..

Gumbygirl

We’re not expecting a royal spare, are we?

WCS

Just dismember me now if that’s the case.

ballsofsteelandfury

You just need to get rid of one member…

HOW MUCH MORE CLEAR DO I HAVE TO BE
