Saturday Night Open Thread – okay seriously, this needs to stop Edition

It happened again. I’m sitting here enjoying a nice little Saturday, perusing Hippo’s Morning Thread and I AGAIN think, “I wonder what our wonderful writers have cooked up for tonight’s Open Thread.”

Then I realize AGAIN, “Oh fuck. I’M supposed to be writing it!”

To my credit, I’ve been busy today. I woke up at 7 and I’ve been doing stuff around the house all day.

What can we talk about?

I went to Home Depot early this morning to get a water hose, a fancy nozzle, and a rainbow sprinkler. Eventually I’ll have to do a repipe of my sprinkler system but this year is not the year for it. In the meantime, I need to replace the dead grass.

I also removed a bunch of leaves and crap that was under the trees and trimmed a bunch of the bushes. YOU KNOW I LIKE A CLEAN BUSH!

I started a cleanup of the garage too. There is a LOT of crap in there. I killed two birds with one stone by painting some drawers with leftover spray paint. Now I have no more spray paint and two brand-new-looking drawers.

I still have more yardwork to do but the green container is full and we only get one. The rest will have to wait until next weekend.

I have also gotten the car washed, polished some of my golf clubs, and eaten Taco Bell Breakfast. I also bought some picnic games for our Employee Appreciation Day celebration. I wanted axe-throwing and By God we’re having axe-throwing!

Overall, I’d say it’s been a productive day!

I STILL have not played golf in a while so there is nothing to report on that end.

I have no idea what is going on with my AFL tips this week. This is, by far, my worst picking week ever! I’m concerned about Geelong’s chances of getting into The Eight. If they couldn’t beat Fremantle at home, they ain’t beating anyone.

***

The Women’s World Cup continues tonight with Switzerland taking on New Zealand at midnight Best Coast time and Norway taking on The Philippines. The Group standings are below and, as you can see, any of the four teams can move on.

***

For some weird reason, the last game of the Second Round is scheduled AFTER the Group A Third Round games. Germany takes on Colombia at 2:30 AM.

Allow me to remind you about DFOCon in Vegas this November. The details are first weekend in November, staying in Downtown, and good times to be had.

I want to share another song with you that I had not heard it in a LONG time and I’d forgotten how much I love it:

Enjoy your Saturday night!
