Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
I totally forgot to go look for more dumb quotes somewhere, so yet another week of not a quote for you [in bed]
GTD, with the memory of a goldfish
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Judging by the people in the airport and on this plane not understanding how society (or a plane) works, I think I understand why the family blaxabbath left Tucson.

This is what I tried to share last night.

Whelp, thanks for a funner season than usual, Mariners.

“Dad, did you ever go to protests in college?”
“Oh yeah. Gotta exercise those constitutional rights.”
“Well why did you go?”
“Um, well.”
“To meet babes.” (uttered by the youngest child.)

Touchdown Barcelona.
Got a nice cold Estrella with Jamon Iberico, garlic prawns and some manchego cheese ordered. This place is fucking nuts.
yeah right
That jamon was crying, fatty, sweaty, salty tears of joy as it melted over and coated every single one of my tastebuds.
Then I ordered garlic shrimp and pan tomate and I’ve been here for 2 hours and I’m not sure I’m going home.
As a hat tip to Dok I’m drinking a glass of cava.
yeah right
I just had a kinda amusing but also annoying ChatGPT about the existence of Wyoming. I wanted to download it and share but it wanted me to log in and then it deleted everything.
But basically just imagine it saying “That’s a brilliant point! Let’s dig into it more deeply, you seem to be talking about social ontology, here is some more info about the things you just mentioned and how it applies to Wyoming being different to Santa’s Village”
It’s actually gotten a lot better in the past year or two but if a real person ever talked that way they would be the most punchable person ever to exist

Agree with Terran Empire and Republicans. Partially disagree with Democrats and the Federation. Democratic voters are Federation with a Maquis streak. Democratic Party are Paklads with the communication skills of the Tamarians.

My daughter and her boyfriend asked us out to dinner tonight. There were no major announcements, (thank the living Christ), and I somehow wound up with the check.
What the fuck?

yeah right
If you think about QB development as farming, the Bears take perfectly good seeds and just kinda chuck ’em out back in the shitty patch of land where stuff doesn’t like to grow, then they don’t weed or fertilize them and wonder why their crops are stunted and weak. The Jets grind the seeds to a pulp, mix them with salt, and put them on a rocket to scatter the seed-dust in the atmosphere so there is no chance of them ever sprouting or even being recognizable as a seed ever again.

I am so glad I don’t need dating apps anymore. However, I do remember some Jay Glazer FOX pregame show injury report style guidelines I had:
1- Any mention of Eat, Pray, Love? OUT
2- Any mention of 50 Shades of Grey? IN
3- Loves to cook? GAME TIME DECISION (Verify with pics)
4- Any mention of travel? IN
5- Mentions valuing friends? OUT (It’s a dating app, not a find a friend app)

I thought the oysters from Galway bay were monsters but look at this shit.
Fresh oyster with ajoblanco cream and black garlic. Eat the black garlic and try to slurp the oyster.
I’ll keep this as the foreplay because the real orgasm was to follow. This was first bite of birthday dinner in Barcelona.
Didn’t take long to make a motherfucker fall real hard for this insane, chaotic, beautiful, ridiculous and wonderful city.
yeah right
We can rebuild him. We have the technology. But we aren’t going to bother because he’s….Carson Wentz

Watching ESPN talking heads clutch pearls about the NBA gambling scandal is extra funny with the ESPN bet chyron running on the bottom and every other ad is some sports betting BS.

Spanish food truths as given to me by locals.
1- Spanish coffee is “Shit.” Word for word I was told. When they first started producing coffee, the local economy was bad so they were buying cheap coffee beans. To offset the shitty beans, they roasted the beans in sugar. For Flavor!
Turns out this method of roasting creates carcinogens which led to Spanish coffee being banned in the rest of Europe.
- Spanish butter sucks! There are more pigs than cows – and holy shit do they know their way around pork – and the beef is used as meat. All of the good cheeses are sheeps milk or goats milk so they don’t use cows for dairy
- Whole little sardines fried, salted and served in a paper cone are fucking Awesome and I need more of that.
- Paella is only eaten by the locals at lunch. Never dinner. They can tell the tourists because they order paella for dinner.
- If you put chorizo in paella you may be committing a war crime. More on this in a moment. More beer first.
yeah right
Dumb question time!
What happens to the bones when you fry the whole sardine? Are they somehow eliminated? Or is shredding the esophagus cool in Spain?

I saw shredding the esophagus at coachella last year.

Had the worst call I’ve had in my 18 months here last night.
I was going to link it, but, you know what? Just go to WTAE dot com or WPXI dot com, and it’s secondary headline. It’s the one involving an infant.
WARNING: Extremely disturbing. If you don’t want to read it, that’s perfectly fine.
I love yinz. Lots going on tonight, so I need distractions. Let’s get at it.

“Hey, kids aren’t home. Wanna get naked?”
“Sure, but kickoff is like 20 minutes away.”

Mohegan Sun urging people to gamble on their app between throwing balls to their dogs is surely a good sign for society.

I’m waiting for the day when the Mashantucket Pequots from Foxwoods go to war with the Mohegans. That would be the most exciting thing to happen in Connecticut since they invented steamed burgers!

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.
Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Well, yeah. You kill the rabbits and the game fowl in the morning and then it takes all fucking day so you eat at 3 P.M. which is a perfectly pleasant time to eat because by then you’ve gotten good and ripped on your provisions of hunting wine and hunting beer. Besides, you thought it was clever to bring along some shrimp and shellfish with you last night, but those fuckers are going to kill you if they don’t go in the paella before noon.
Andorra!
It was so…
Reminiscent of The Grove Shopping Mall in LA it was frightening.
But Andorra had TWO McDonald’s AND a Burger King.
Not so snooty now, are you LA?
The view was insane.
Are they accepting new citizens? Asking for me.
Pretty weird to name your country after a Bewitched character though.
Plus next to no taxes and you can launder most of your money!

Ended up staying in the room and washing the clothes.
I did watch Weapons on HBO MAX and that was highly entertaining considering it was watched on my phone in Barcelona.
Did have some frutos secos and a lovely bit of French cheese that I bought, in France!
The digestive tract has so far allowed me to attempt to finish the bottle of vino Blanco that was left over.
As long as I chase it with all of the water.
Look! France!
It was cold at first when we went to Baga up in the Pre-Pyrenees but warmed up nicely for France and Andorra.
This was yesterday since I was too fucking tired from 12 hours on the bus and on short outings to post anything then.
I did get to wash my feet in a warm “healing” sulfur fountain, one of several that are scattered around “Ax” the French mountain town we stopped in.
The good news is I think I’m protected from leprosy for life now!
Bought a nice piece of French cheese, some salami with chantarelle mushrooms and dined al fresco in a forest that had Sequoia trees.
You can see the sulfur coming off the water.
The locals called it “French Perfume” while my brain called it “Active Volcano.”
Stupid fucking gorgeous little French alpine town.
(yawns) Wow, thanks for all my comments. Nice job!
What inning is it in LA?
4783rd.
Ohtani has 97 HRs and has been walked 433 times.
He was up early enough to wager on Aussie soccer this morning.
Hey, gotta have priorities!
They’ve been using a tee for at-bats since the 3500th inning, so those numbers are a little inflated.
Don’t underestimate the tee
Is it a good sign that the weather girl on my local news is crying while discussing what’s about to happen to Jamaica?
I thought weather forecasting was banned and fake news
Too much woke
Nothing to see here!
Why can’t I post gifs anymore? Let’s see if I can post a still picture
Nope!
In all seriousness, I can only hope for the best possible outcome.
I’m close to tears too because I love Jamaica and its beautiful people.
My first adopted second country.
Last full day in Barcelona and I HAD a pretty full schedule including 2 of the premier locations to see.
Then about 4 this morning the colon said “I’ll be taking control of the day today! Remember all of the rich food, wines, cheeses and olive oils? Every day for 8 days? Guess who processed that Mr World Fucking Traveler?
I did!”
Sure seems like a lovely day out too.
I have zero say in this decision. Will just cautiously get ready for tomorrow’s flight home.
So much water today.
YeahRight’s lower digestive system:
Good opportunity to check out a Spanish pharmacy! You can pick up some good spf while you’re there too
The tough part was looking at all of the 700 walking distance restaurants and saying “No. Oh God no, not that. Maybe? No better not. Perhaps? Oof, no.”
