Subsequent GTD reflections

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.

Totes mailing it in today, as it’s a holiday ( Monday). So, got nothing interesting or important to write about. Besides, no one is here for my commentary.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


Great defensive work. Rams could go with them cause they have great receivers but they don’t have a guy to cover JSN. Pats do but they don’t have the guys to block. They had to run to win.
Loved that. I’m hung over as shit. Watched the game with two patriots fans.
So impressed with the team to beat the rams and niners to get in and in the playoffs and then stomping the cheating, trump loving, sex slave abusing, son tongue-kissing bastards to cap it off.

Sole nit to pick about the halftime show: it’s not an authentic boricua wedding unless a couple of *tías scuffle over who’s taking home the table’s centerpiece and flowers. But that would’ve been against the twin themes of the halftime show: solidarity and unhinged over-the-top-ness.

I feel bad that James van der Beek died because he and his wife were good friends of my brother and my brother finally flew to Texas to see them this weekend. I got to meet the Beeks once before Covid. He was such a nice guy even when I accidentally insulted (maybe? I will never know) a dead actor friend of his. But I also got to geek out over him telling me about Megalopolis back before 9/11 shut down that project. Anyway, I am also seeing a bunch of comments on the Reddit posts discussing the rise in colorectal cancer and specifically among 20-39 year-olds and I’m sure there’s nothing suspicious there.

Really enjoyed both main Oscar contenders (would put Sinners just barely above One Battle After Another), just in case you haven’t seen those.


Weapons was unhinged fun, depending on your “fun” definition.


You could rewatch Independence Day and laugh about how horribly the current Prez would handle such a situation. “We’re looking into the aliens very strongly; if they don’t behave I’ll slap a tariff on Saturn”

I see the FBI is counting on the Arizona Cardinals Coaching Search Party to investigate Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom.

But ir does feel right that we’re watching the family simply follow ransom instruction daily because the authorities are just a bunch of nitwits who are never going to solve this.
blaxabbath

My mother is terrified and driving my sister crazy. Because everyone wants to kidnap an 86 year old Italian mother with no assets and kids who couldn’t afford a quarter of any ransom requested.

jjfozz

You might chip in a quarter if they’ll take your MIL, too.

For that, I’d pay the whole thing and borrow money from the mob.

Repeating this from the Request Line, because frankly it belongs on Sexy Friday: reports are that the Winter Olympic athletes have already exhausted the supply of free condoms in the Olympics Village.

There were 10,000 condoms.

God bless those horny kids.

There are 1533 male athletes so that’s an average of 6.5 condoms per penis!

Happy hallmark profit day to you all. I’ve had enough relationship time to appreciate being single but I always made sure to put in the effort on this day, regardless of the absurdity. It doesn’t matter. Men who do it right, keep her, those who don’t, don’t.
Also flowers on a whim are a huge boon in my opinion. I still wouldn’t trade it for peace and quiet though

Flowers, chocolate, a card from the dollar store, also got up with the boy instead of her. Going to make Paella for dinner. Job done.

How the fuck you boys doin?

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.

STRONG TAEK:

Only weaklings back into 90° standard parking spaces . This method is easier for people with low driving skills (>99% of drivers ), but it is demonstrably not safer, even with a rear camera. These people perform this maneuver because they read it on some asinine website.

Real men park forward due to much higher skill sets at motor vehicle operation as well as infinitely better situational awareness.

I am 100% correct, as usual. God bless.

Gumbygirl

The only time I end up facing forward in a parking spot is if there is an empty spot in front. And that depends on why I’m parking there in the first place. If I’m at the grocery store, why would I want another car right by my back bumper when I’m trying to load my stuff into the back of my own car?

Gatoraids

rage inducing, even more when someone has their damn tesla autopilot take its time doing it. if they want to impress real men they jump out of their car while going full speed

THANK YOU!! This has been a pet peeve of mine for awhile.

The only people that should have a reason to back into spots are cops and everyone hates cops.

There’s a 24-hour donut shop across the street from me and at 3:00AM it’s lined with about a dozen cop cars from three jurisdictions, all backed in, while the cops all stand around drinking free coffee and talking. Sometimes I think the entire on-duty LAPD Pacific Division is there. Well, nighttime crime rates here are pretty low, I guess.

WCS

3-1 SWE 2nd INT

Latvia isn’t going down without a fight. However, may have woken up too late. They’ve had a decent last ten minutes of the period, but the Swedes are doing the little things right. They’re not turning the puck over, not taking penalties, and forechecking is good. Latvia’s going to need a goal in the first five minutes of the third to get going.
Whoever scores the next goal will likely win.

It’s a good thing isn’t around to hear all the racial epithets I’ve been hurling at this Italian curling team.

How in fuck did Italy even get a curling team? I’m surprised they’re not using meatballs or large loaves of bread.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That made me laugh hard enough that the Dr. Mrs. asked what was up.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It feels excessively cruel to only cut five (out of 29) skaters in the preliminaries. They should cut at least ten, or none at all.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Instead of AIN for the Russian athletes they should use the initials PED.

Not sure where to send this note, but if any of the hamsters keeping the site up and running are also in need of some offseason post material, I have worked something up that could be mildly amusing and spare one of you from a day down in the content mines. LMK directly as you have my e-mail or I can check back here if necessary. I have no WordPress or html skills, but I have all my shots and somewhat recently expired US Passport, so should be good to go if you need me.

BFC Reporting live from Jury Duty!

Final update: the expected third jury pool is not needed, therefore the rest of us are dismissed. We are helpfully advised that we are not obligated to return to work as jury duty is 9-5, and that this fulfills our civic obligation for the next two years. I am now going to get some chicken for lunch.

There’s going to be one nerd who goes back and tells his boss that he got dismissed early from jury duty and came in to work and then that boss will tell all the other bosses.

Update #4: they have now called another jury pool. I am also not in that one. There are probably only like 40 or so or us left in the jurors’ lounge.

The sun is shining, I have no excuse not to get off my ass and walk. And yet here I am, on my ass. We had a ton of rain yesterday, and a spectacular clap of thunder in the middle of the night that I was convinced was a plane crashing at March ( I’m at SIL’s, refereeing the Cat Royal Rumble). The pool is damn near overflowing, I wonder if there’s something I should do about that before the next rainstorm comes through?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sometimes it’s ok to just spend the day in bed. But I never regret going for a walk.

GoldZone broadcasting CZE-DEN hockey in fullscreen is basically the equivalent of RedZone broadcasting TEN-ATL where one of the teams has the ball at midfield.

Update #2: After 4 loops through, the woman running the jurors’ lounge asked if anyone still wanted to hear the instructional film anymore. Literally no one wanted to, so she mercifully has left it on pause. No actual movement on if anyone in this room is being called into a courtroom.

This has been BFC Reporting live from Jury Duty!

The last time I had jury duty I never left the lounge. I had a fun conversation with a guy who was working on a TV pitch for a fantasy series based on the Tarot cards. It sounded pretty fun, I hope it gets made someday.
