10,000ish Posts!: Tuesday Open Thread

Whelp, it finally happened. This ragtag website, “run” by a bunch of idiots, shitheads, ne’erdowells, reprobates and overall dumbasses,  has  reached 10,000 posts.

And I just want to say, on behalf of those behind the scenes, who put their heart, soul, time and money into this crazy little online clubhouse:

What an incredible fucking waste.

No, seriously, it’s been amazing. I did my drunken heartfelt Thing last summer and it’s still true now. Sure, the 10,000ish hours it took to write these posts probably could have been spent on more productive things like yoga, volunteerism, stuffing our thumbs up our asses and wiggling- really almost anything. But instead we did it For You.

It is also auspucious that we reach this milestone nine years to the day from when, back in the Old Country, RobotsFightingDinosaurs posted his famous article calling Budweiser out for not actually being #upforwhatever (“whatever” being “infinite free booze for his birthday party”, plus adult contemporary music’s Josh Groban). Like Gavrilo Princip with his pistol, Martin Luther with his theses, or Beatrice Ojakangas with her pizza rolls, no one knew that this was the match to light the world’s funeral pyre.

NFL NEWS

The NFL is pretty fucking quiet right now. [EDIT: I don’t know why I bother writing these things until an hour before posting]

-LATE BREAKING CRIMEBEAT!: Chiefs wide receiver and bumper car enthusiast Rashee Rice is headed for another chat with Dallas’ “Finest” in connection with a fight at a nightclub Monday morning that sent a guy to the hospital. He is a “suspect” at this point, and even if he’s charged, assault is a tricky one to predict in Texas. But when you already have six felony counts hanging over your head, it’s hard to see this ending well for Rice

-JJ Watt, seeing that the Texans have an Actual Team this year, has selflessly volunteered to ride DeMeco Ryans’ coattails to a potential championship if Ryans “absolutely needs it.” Listen, I get that a lot of folks think Watt ‘deserves’ a championship after playing at a high level for many disappointing teams. And if he signs early in the season, sure. But if they sign him in Week 17 and he’s there as a mascot “feel good story,” he can fuck all the way back to his woodpile. And I can’t see him lasting an entire season in the absence of Lindsey Vonn’s FDA-Approved Medicinal Handjobs.

-America’s least favorite nephew, Chad Kelly, is now causing international incidents. The Toronto Argonaut, fresh off an MVP season in Canada, has been suspended for at least 9 games after a CFL investigation into the allegations in a former strength and conditioning coach’s lawsuit. How will the City of Toronto cope with disappointment in sports?

vichy north stars get fucked in OT by the nordiques-in-exile, by a guy with a porn star name

fleshwound_NPG

vichy north stars arena dj played in the first period, when they had a 3-0 lead:

-creed
-hootie and the blowfish

just asking for trouble

ballsofsteelandfury

They should fire him for that

2Pack

In honor of going over 10k we should swap out the kids at Hippos next footy match for these ladies. Like a Dutch club did some years back. What could go wrong?

Mr. Ayo

This is an entire Sexy Friday post in one comment. Well done, sir. I’ll be back in a few minutes.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s genius!

Mr. Ayo

Gotta say I hate the Stars, but I love that Dallas always has a blonde stripper seated right behind the head coach.

2Pack

Somebody’s got their thinking cap on.

fleshwound_NPG

blues also did this sometime around their cup run

Found a funny:

[MISSED CONNECTION]

Me: a cow in a field

You: yelled “COW” out your passenger window as you drove past

Mr. Ayo

No, no, no. You have to moo at them. It actually works and is very funny.

Hang it in the Louvre.

Mr. Ayo

I’ve got enough legal troubles already. Although, I could just do a straight swap.

Hmm, you’ll get 20% if it works.

Get fucked Vichy Whalers.

Evergreen (and white) comment

Sharkbait

Noted right wing asshole Tony DeAngelo would absolutely join the Vichy French.

How do the Knicks and Rangers got me feeling?

(More the Rangers because the Knicks are now down to what, a 7-man rotation? Time for Jericho Sims!)

All the smoothies!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU AND YOUR HEIRS TO THE 7TH GENERATION, KARMANOS!!! FEAST ON DOG INTESTINES IN HELL!!!

Oh hey, nice game, Carolina keeper.

Sharkbait

I love “Horatio hops on the Rangers bandwagon” season

Horatio Cornblower

When I assume my rightful place as heir to the Emperor in the Warhammer universe anyone caught wearing a Carolina jersey and a Whaler hat is going up against the nearest wall with a quickness.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

…do you really want to be outclassed by Ravens fans?

That’s…not a real thing.

Horatio Cornblower

Anyone who thinks Shisterkin (however you spell it) just slashed that Vichy guy never saw Ron Hextall play. Ronnie would tap his kids with his stick like that to tell them “good night I love you’

Mr. Ayo

Still not sure how he didn’t break his neck

There is some insane goalkeeping going on in the Rangers vs. Vichy Whalers.

Sure hope it keeps up for the Rangers.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As opposed to the Warhammer 40k forum, where there’s some insane gatekeeping going on.

Mr. Ayo

Fuck yes, free playoff hockey!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We’re going to see the Dodgers play tomorrow. Let’s see if they can make it 6 losses in a row that I’ve attended!

Mr. Ayo

Enjoy watching Tungsten Arm O’Doyle! Your little streak should be ending.

Horatio Cornblower

There would be a lot more screaming involved if that were me.

Although it’s space, so no one would hear me scream.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s why I describe outer space as the perfect setting for one to listen to the music of St. Vincent.

Horatio Cornblower

Does she owe you money, which she’ll never be able to repay you from the royalties for her horrible, horrible songs, or something?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I saw her open for The National in 2008 and have held a grudge ever since. Hearing her do an interview on NPR where the host compared her to LEONARD FUCKING COHEN really set me off, and I’m not over it yet and probably never will be.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d Van Gogh myself before going to a National/St. Vincent show.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s good quality hate

Horatio Cornblower

To be fair, I too have compared St. Vincent to Leonard Cohen. For example, Leonard Cohen is a great artist who has produced many classic songs, while St. Vincent is pretty much limited to overrated garbage that guys wearing goatees and small porkpie hats insist you listen to ‘just one more time and then you’l get it, I swear.’

10,000 posts?

& Dortmund are going to the Champions League Final? ⚽️

That’s ROCKINGGG!

Horatio Cornblower

Holy Christ, how hammered was Lindsay Vonn during that interview?

ballsofsteelandfury

Hey, I’ve been doing my share of stuffing thumbs up asses, thank you very much!

Horatio Cornblower

“thumbs”

I wouldn’t be too much of a jagoff. Lowratio is more than happy to share a few secrets…
