Olympics Open Thread

Apologies once again for the intermittent site issues. I can assure you, we’ve got top men working on a fix right now.

 

Anyway, we need some content today, so let’s look at the Olympics schedule! What? Like you’re gonna be working with Olympics on? Come on now. Some event spoilers below, and all times East coast

Hockey

Women:

Finland is currently playing Canada in the make-up game from the Finnish norovirus postponement. Currently 4-0 to the Canadians.

Men:

After a brief flirtation with an upset with Filip Gustavsson channeling his inner Tommy Salo, the Swedes beat the hosts 5-2 yesterday. Todays action:

Curling

Not gonna lie, the Olympics make me want to try curling. It looks like a fun sport.

 

Luge

Throwing oneself down a chute covered in ice, with a friend on top of you?  No thanks.

Speedskating

I watched this last night. They make it look so effortless to skate a 30 miles per hour. I wish I had their stamina and skating ability.

That’s the upcoming schedule. Some skiing and snowboarding events have already taken place so they are useless for workplace distractions. Get to watching and commenting!

It says “You need access” but that may just be because you blocked me specifically.

So my wife’s cousin has cancer.

He is the most Baltimore of any person I know.

63, single, drinks, smokes, does drugs, claims to hire escorts, lived with his mom until she died.

All that being said, he is a really great person. Loves my sons like they’re his own. (Gives them money when he thinks i’m not looking.)

Completely bereft of any financial knowledge.

Doctor gives his diagnosis.

“Fuck that, I have a gun at home. I’ll take of myself with it.”

Soooo, my wife and his sister had to go home and search his place for a gun. No gun. Found lots of bullets and took them.

It can potentially work! MAYBE. (He should not try this.)

Here’s a Bologna Club Sando-if you eliminate the curry powder, cukes, cheese, mustard, the 3rd piece of bread and the lettuce, that was my lunch from Grades 1 through 8. (I just stopped eating lunch eventually)

Between this and a friend telling me about her attempt at a string bean sauce today, the world is telling me to get some currywurst, but there’s no German place anywhere near my workplace or my apartment

I really should call my mom, what with it being her birthday and all.

You want us to call her?

Listening to a work presentation and every time they say “penetration rate” I giggle like a school girl.

I am 12-years-old.

I’ve got a contract with a certain company and they are obsessed with “Fill Rates”. For whatever reason, when they complain that they are ‘low’, my initial response in my head is, “Goddamn It Man, I’m Only Human!”.

THE UNITED STATES HAS BROKEN THINGS WIDE OPEN AND FOR ONCE WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!

Meanwhile Arsenal continues to absolutely refuse to embrace success.

It’s truly remarkable.

Horatio Cornblower

Well Man City won and Arsenal went out and blew a lead, (admittedly 1-0) to Brentford, so I would say they are at least considering a visit to the bottling plant, yes.
