I’m not talking about the song, I’m talking about getting absolutely snowed under. The snow was up to my waist, bears and deer were huddled together, racists forgot about their cock-eyed leanings, snowmobiles ruled the back country, bread sold for pretty much the same price, (because in a small town, store-owners catch hell on Facebook and in the backcountry people still scroll Facebook) the bartering system reared its head again-(I got three pounds of ground beef for twelve chairs that were to used for firewood) people come together in times of crisis, if only to raid Jeremy’s place (he’s such a weirdo!) and knock him out with a wrench.
Here’s me brain meanderings:
Justin Time: Justin Fields has been traded to the Chiefs. His talent has been decimated/obscured/squandered by the Bears and the Jets. Aside from the Rams I can’t think of a better landing spot for him than the Chiefs. He or his agent did a good.
March Madness is Upon Us: I’ll throw some observations out there but please do not mistake this for advice.
#12 High Point beats #5 Wiscy: it’s right there in the name.
#14 Kennesaw State beats #3 Gonzaga because the latter always folds. Anyone wonder why Coach Few hasn’t very strongly advocated for his program to join a stronger conference? It’s a complete mystery.
If #5 Texas Tech can play up to its defensive bonafides they can get to the Elite 8. Doing it without leading scorer/rebounder Tippin would an extraordinary accomplishment.
Still trying to wrap my head around the concept of “Nebraska Basketball”.
Should Miami (Ohio) get past their first opponent they can surprise.
#5 Vandy is getting better and better in both basketball and football. I assume there’s a megaton of NIL money behind the transformation but they’ve been a whipping boy for decades on end.
#10 Santa Clara beats Kentucky. Just get that latter team out of the tourney as quickly as possible-they suck.
#1 Overall Duke is getting to the Elite 8 at the very least, we just need to deal with it.
It’s all yours now.
Last funny:
well, there’s your problem. you went to the desert on a horse with no name. all the nameless horses are slow and have no sense of direction. now, Speedy Desertknower right here, he would have gotten you in and out of that desert in 4 hours, 6 max
Geno’s broken Rusglish will always be great.
“I good skate.. get puck… make goal. Was good play by teams-mate.”
I finally decided to trial YouTube Premium. What the fuck did I wait for?!?!
Anyway, I’m watching the official music video for Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done,” and I get that Chester probably felt quite a bit of angst for making a shitload of money attaching himself and the band to U.S. military propaganda twice over, but tough shit. Trying to pretend like there’s any value in doing anything BUT selling the fuck out is fucking stupid. It’s killed so many people and careers and for what? The house always wins. It’s like fighting gravity or trying to fight the tides with a teaspoon.
Fucking people. I hate them.
“We’ve been trying to sell out for years, but nobody was buying.”

That’s just objectively not true.
Hell of a run Italy.
You made the country think about baseball.
That’s a good thing.
Meanwhile back in Jersey.
About zero coverage over here. You had to get deep into the sports programming to even hear it mentioned.
That’s a surprise because the broadcast was talking like “Singing in the Streets” level shit.
Wait?
No that makes complete sense.
The only diamond I have ever seen here was in Florence. I think it has a nitch there and around Rome but other than that it’s just not very popular.
Tough sell when footie is so much cheaper and means more.
Ice Stillers taking to the Ice Donks BOOO in Denver. It’s now 7-2, with an audible “Let’s Go Penguins” chant in the crowd.
That’s the final. Honestly, I expected the score the over way around. Sid’s not back yet, but Geno had four points in his return. I’s inpressed!
Ciao tutti

So I’m redoing my bracket picker in Python using the free code assist tools and wow are they not as good as the paid ones, and the paid ones still do a fair amount of stupid stuff
My ballot is hilarious.
I just put in a whole lot of work for a bracket that is almost certainly bound to be hilariously wrong very quickly, I can’t wait to watch it disintegrate!
I love to pick wildly improbable upsets, because why the hell not? Speaking of wildly improbable, my phone keeps turning on autocorrect in Atong, the language of I think Bali. I don’t speak a word of it, and never will.
Somehow my apartment listings in Portugal, which I get a lot of and share now and then, have every one of our PCs offering to translate the page into Portuguese.
Mea Culpa.
THIS COUNTRY CUBA I CALL IT A FOURTEEN YEAR-OLD PASSED OUT ON A COUCH AT ONE OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S PARTIES BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE CAN DO “WHATEVER HE WANTS” WITH IT.
It figures the biggest contribution I’ve made (ever?) is opining about snack chips.
The important stuff!
These are building blocks!
Tuesday best is 5:10
Hey Brick, it’s still Monday. Time travel back to us for the evening.
A) Good evening
2) This is relevant to the site’s interests: https://www.instagram.com/p/DV6R66eEXtB/
&) I saw something that Ryan Coogler is now the first Sacramento State WR to be named to a Pro Bowl and/or win an Oscar
A good roast also describes Megan’s father every evening as Satan sits down for dinner.
Is the fire emoji a location tag for Charlie Kirk?
Found a funny:
the people who complain most about “thought crimes” always mean something boring like, “I think I should be able to say slurs” instead of a real criminal thought, like “what if there were a potato that moaned when you ate it”
I’d start eating a lot of those potatoes. If that’s a crime, lock me up
How the fuck are you eating your chips?
Watching Italy vs Venezuela
Yea this game is ROCKINGGGG!!! 💯
Goooo baseball ! ⚾️
I saw KC wants to commandeer the home run espresso. I’m all for it
My refugee was able to go home, they only redtagged half of her building, and her power is still on.. I still can’t leave, the firetrucks have the street blocked. They said we could drive across the golf course to get to another street if we need to leave, but I’ll just wait. I was heading to SIL’s house to babysit her cats for a few days, but they have food and water, so I’ll just go tomorrow. The fire is out, I think they’re just mopping up now. What a mess. It was windy as hell, and the water pressure here isn’t the greatest, so it took quite a while to get it beat down.This place is over 60 years old.
That’s awesome of you to put her up!
I saw her sitting in her chair on the sidewalk. It was waaaay too hot. The paramedics wanted to take her , but she didn’t want to leave. I just went over and helped the daughter put the parrot back in her place, he’s been out there in his cage all afternoon. Her cat was hiding under the bed, but he’s ok. 6 units uninhabitable out of 16, 11 people displaced.
Fulham just won me a VERY hard-fought 2353-54 Prem title, by beating pesky-ass Wednesday, 2-nil (on Matchday 37). Fuuuuuucccckkkkkk me, Gilkey’s men are beat to shit and I wasn’t looking forward to needing an away point in our very last match.
How I imagine the trophy presentation will go in 2354…
Whatever, ain’t gonna be my problem.
Whatever the Men In Black are doing to keep him alive at this point is outstanding!
Can you believe this woman holds an MBA and Ph.D in economics?
She holds him right between her tits.

Along with a complete socket set. holy moly.
As always during March Madness I will be carrying a rubber mallet. Who ever says to me, “So, how’s your bracket doing?” will get smashed in the face.
Repeatedly.
This policy extends to my sons.
But how is your bracket doing?
Maybe Fozz just wants to make brackets of other things. Bracket of best ice cream flavoUrs? FavoUrite My Little Pony?
Emily in Paris episodes?
Redshirt already told us once who was Best Pony, though I’ve forgotten the answer.
But I want to know how that pony got there. It’s all about the process.
Rubber is too flexible. You should switch to leather. Less rebound.
It was 70 degrees yesterday, mid-60s on Saturday. Both lovely days where we all spent time at a couple of parks. It was great.
It’s currently 30 degrees, snowing, and we’re under a winter weather advisory.
Meanwhile, it’s a heatwave here in Cali
Vanderbilt is RICH. All they needed was NIL so they could compete.
(Because the rich folks from Vanderbilt wouldn’t dare break rules before.)
I’m gonna modify a few things and generate my bracket probabilistically again this year. Instead of just using historical results on the seed matchups I’m gonna add some weighting by some team characteristics too I think. Assuming I can find my code of course
Can someone remind me what the password is to get into the bracket? Not that it will make a damn bit of difference, I’ve got no shot at success. Here’s some fun news, I have an old lady in a wheelchair plunked in my living room. Her building, across the street and down a little way from mine, caught fire this afternoon. It looks like at least three units destroyed, out of 16. Hers didn’t catch, but they’re probably going to redtag the whole building. Waiting for the Red Cross to show up, hopefully with hotel vouchers. But it was hot as hell outside, and she needed a breathing treatment, so I volunteered. A couple of burly sheriff’s department guys hauled her up my front steps so her daughter and I could get her in here.
DFO is the password.
We are so tricky that way. I am surprised that it isn’t Password.

Same combination I use on my luggage.
I usually just double knot my bindle.
Smrt.
I’m interested to see how Fields does with some good coaching and support. He’s flashed some excellent play and that’s a team he won’t be asked to carry on his back.
He might get 1-2 starts early September, too (due to ACL on Paddy). Good way to get the new running game going, and build poor kid back up a little bit.
He’ll have the exact same experience he had with Pittsburgh.
it’s like that “Hey, Jealousy” song – if you don’t expect too much from me, you might not feel let down.
He never should have gone to the Jets. No one should ever go to the Jets, but especially not a guy with so little recovery time since his previous destruction. It’s like a cocaine addict going to a couple weeks of detox then moving into a crackhouse that also injects fentanyl into your eyeballs and expecting it to go well.
do you have an addy for this crackhouse??
As bad as these GM’s are, we’re four years away from the Browns/Giants/Cardinals/Dolphins paying for half the league’s starting QB tab every week.
Analytics, based on most to least Hippo understanding:
1) Baseball
2) Football
3) the Footy
4) Basketball
5) Anything Else
I may not even do a bracket this year. It’s gonna be Chalky. As. Fuck.
As long as VCU beats U*NC, then I’m a happy mammal.
Think maybe I’d pick Fightin’ Blax to BEAR DOWN wherever the final is this year. We need to make #YearOfBlax trend.
Someone remind this dipshit Yinzer to fill out brackets when I get home. I’m not keen to repeat last year’s complete blanking on filling any out.
hey, fill out a bracket when u get home
He should really fill out a bracket when he gets home.
he lucky to have such GOOD friends, even if we’uns imaginary
