Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the 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:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched—they must be felt with the heart [in bed].
Helen Keller
We have this quote, along with a few others, on a canvas print thingy in our bathroom, and I kind like this quote, before the bed part. And I’m gonna go with that everyone is beautiful in the dark.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Maybe Strawberry Fields and Brokeback got all squinched up in a teleporter accident and now they are the yin to the other’s yang, only one can be cromulent at a time to maintain the balance

It really is odd, and I greatly appreciate your ability to apply SCIENCE to it

Happy New Year, ya buncha palookas! Hope everything breaks just right for you all this year. Nothing but win tickets, healthy (grand)babies, promotions and true love. My resolutions this year dovetail with my transition into actual grown person, and involve my lifelong struggle with self-esteem and self-worth. Gonna have to get my arms around that shit if I have any hope of being any kind of teacher. Got my family, meds, sobriety, and therapist in my corner, so I’m running at this brick wall at 100 mph with a fucking helmet (with bitchin’ flame decals on it) on. Here’s to hopefully putting a dent in the fucker. Thanks for letting me be a big fuck up here whilst contributing comparatively little. Best clubhouse on the inter tubes. Cheers!

So turns out I will be briefly exposed to Ohio in a few weeks. Will fly into and out of Cincinnati while visiting my friends in Lexington.

For anyone wondering when a good day to tip your kayak over while on a Connecticut lake I am here to tell you that day is not January 2nd.
Fortunately I did it right on shore, so it was shallow water, (except for the divot I stepped into, thereby losing my balance), and also everyone on shore got to see the whole thing. But fuck that was cold.

So the dog’s in trouble. We’re on our walk today. We have a general route with a few options, and I generally let him follow his nose on the options. Today he heads straight at one of the turns. I’m thinking about work and not really paying attention.
Seeing his chance the little beast goes right for the remains of the cheeseburger some asshole threw on the side of the road at least three days ago, (I know, because we saw it the first time three days ago when I pulled him away and told him ‘no’), and gobbles it up. I give him the “No! Drop it!” command, which he knows. And ignored.
So I ended the walk there and turned around, hauling him home. You could tell by his body language that he knew not only that he was in trouble, but why he was in trouble.
We get home and Mrs. Horatio, his mommy, is there. The little beast parks himself by his treat cabinet, (he gets one after every walk, but not today), and stares at her until I has to come in and tell him “go lay down,” which he also knows and which he sulkily went upstairs and did.
It’s like having another 4-year-old in the house, one who may wind up shitting all over the carpet because he just had to eat food that’s been lying around outside for days.

You should be able to connect through Trinidad and Tobago.

Pick Trinidad. The surgeon general sez Tobago gives you cancer.

Why is there no TNF?
Week 1-17: “Screw player rest, fatigue and safety, we want money”
Week 18: “Last week of the season. Competitive balance for playoffs.”

Pour one out for my Uncle Turner. Cancer is a real bastard.
Guy was lowkey one of the funniest, wittiest people I knew. He was almost silent, but he really started the MST3k-ness for me as a kid. He would constantly riff on Bubby Brister, Neil O’Donnell, etc. which later keyed my enthusiasm for the Satellite of Love.
Thanks for the laughs, and see you on the next world, Uncle Turner.

I’m not sure what’s more horrifying: A gelatinous chunk of ham screaming “YAHHHHH…HERE WE GO!!!!” over and over, or the idea that the Cowboys have rehired Kellen Moore.

/our family has been estranged from my mother for quite some time
My Mother: [reaches out to her oldest grandson after 15 years]
Family: “Ok, ok. Maybe she’d like to make amends. That’s a good start.”
Oldest: [visits his grandmother, things are awkward but are sorta ok]
Family: “Perhaps we can rebuild some bridges.” [tenuous feeling of hopefulness creeps in]
/four days later
My Mother: [calls her grandson again and goes on a 70+ minute diatribe about how his mother is the worst person ever]
Family: “Whoop! There it is!!!”

Surgically repaired shoulders hate heavy wet snow. 0/10 would not recommend shoveling

Deci just did it for the 1st time. 5 bucks. Money well spent. Also built himself a snow landing pad for when he jumps off the deck.

Once the kids get older I’m absolutely shoving them out the door to shovel for less than minimum wage

I like to think McLaurin was yelling “I need 8 yards for a bonus! I need 8 yards for a bonus!” in that scrum and the Dallas defenders dragged him along until he had it.

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.
Stay busy and safe out there.

Making my first at home hot pot today! So far my hot pot kit is working beautifully, time to check out the results
Mmmm, the Fly by Jing hot pot base I used has some nice heat to it, and it’s that tingly, numbing Sichuan-type heat. Will definitely get me eating more veg, but not sure if it’s actually healthy cuz there’s a lot of chili oil in there
For reasons unknowable (ok, probably drugs), my brain was pondering the lyrics to “Luka” this afternoon. Brain was all like if they only hit until you cry, why don’t you just start crying at the first slap?
Don’t let your babies grow up to attend engineering school, folks.
Wonderful recap as usual GTD.
