TGIF! Hope everyone is enjoying sweeps week on the ice and hardwood. But this is actually a great outcome because we can now focus on the Euros and Copa America for some titillating 0-0, or even more exciting 1-1 ties. I kid, i kid. That won’t happen until the knockout rounds.
Survival – Personal Edition
After all these years, I finally found myself a primary care doctor and even visited him this week. To quote my doctor, “You liver function labs are elevated showing an injury pattern.” Duh. But, that’s not what we’re here to talk about. Instead, it’s my blood pressure that I’m requires a prescription so that I don’t have a heart attack. Well, until that medication and my lifestyle changes take effect, I have to be wary of dealing with a heart attack. So, here’s how to survive one.
- Research heart attack symptoms. Treating a heart attack is about timing. The sooner it can be addressed, the better off you’ll be.
- Have aspirin on hand. Make sure the safety caps aren’t secured unless you have children around. Due to your scrupulous research, you are now certain you’re having an episode. Take one 325mg aspirin tablet or 4 baby aspirin tablets depending on what’s available. And by take, I mean chew, not swallow. This will allow your body to absorb the aspirin quicker. This won’t stop the heart attack, but it will help prevent additional clotting in your blood vessels.
- Let anyone and everyone around you know your condition. Have them contact 911 or do it yourself if possible.
- Lower your heart rate. Do this by ceasing all movement. Lie down on your back and count out each second. Tick, pause, tick, pause, tick, etc.
- Elevate your legs so all that blood can pool closer to your heart where it’s needed. If a working oxygen mask is available, use it.
- If you’re feeling dizzy or about to faint, you can perform a type of self CPR by coughing. Breath in through your nose for three (3) seconds, then force cough. This will keep you awake until help arrives.
And that’s it. You’re now still alive and survived a heart attack. Although you should really do all you can to avert one in the first place.

Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!

I didn’t post this.
Oh yeah the Jack Nicklaus one I did. I have a new MacBook and everything is screwy.
Ashburn, VA
I know I posted this two years ago (maybe two days ago) Doesn’t matter.

Montréal ?
Yes. Lionel-Groulx Station, lower level.
One for Brick and Ayo:
I know exactly where your avatar comes from.
Also today.
Manhattan Beach, California.

I’m slightly off-center on it. Lack of attention to detail.
If you lost all feeling in you elbows, would you even notice?
Yes.
But I’m pretty at-peace.
The way mine have a habit of finding any sharp corner near by, I think so.
Western vs Freo live and underway if anyone is interested….
So I tried making the cocktail of the week using blue curacao instead of orange curacao, and it came out Celtic green. That should have been my first clue…
Was it as off-kilter as the way we pronounce ‘Celtics’ given that Irish doesn’t have a soft c sound?
It was a disaster.
I absolutely hate pouring drinks down the drain but I’m going to have to do it here.
oof
I had an old fashioned and now all is right again with the world.
My wife once suggested it’d be funny if John Rambo hadn’t even actually gone to war. He was just a dude who bought some gear at a military surplus store, got hassled, and still took out the entire Oregon National Guard.
I can’t pinpoint how to converse on the idea but, at It’s roots, it does kind of ring as funny.
That type is out there.
I mean that’s kinda the plot of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil but instead of the Oregon National Guard it’s stupid sexy teenagers.
Walter?
I like the second lady tonight. If I’m going to have a heart attack my choice for the place, would be with her on top.
Sensational hustle Ayo, Marika and I are still celebrating the Army birthday.
Speaking of sexy, how many dates y’all reckon the social contract requires before a German gentleman caller asks a lady if he can watch her poop?
ZWEI
FUNF because it sounds dirtier.
I’m thinking they settle that issue up front before he ever takes her out for their first dinner date. She’s thinking about it too, and has pride in her work, just like her mother..
It dictates where and what they eat.
Women want to be equals.
Shit the trough with everyone else on the date.
If the game is pretty much over (it is), then might as well try everything you ever wanted to do on a court. Mid court jumper? Go for it!
It’s too bad that I couldn’t give less of a fuck who wins the golf thing this weekend, but all of them can fuck right off. Except Lee Trevino. He got hit by lightning.
I don’t really follow golf, but Lowratio is really rooting for Dorf.
I don’t have the heart to tell him.
No, no…let him have this. He’s done so much for
us all you.My brother saw Ricky Fowler at Pinehurst a couple weeks back. It was at the like Pinehurst Brewery. The story is good because my bro (big kid like 6’4″ 275lbs) starts it with how this hot chick gets out a car and he doesn’t realize for a min that Ricky’s Boy is giving my bro a hard stink eye because he’s just dialed in on Ricky’s wife.
JJ Watt was on his flight home with his soccer wife. My brother says Watt is just HUGE and is clearly done with NFL and that impressively big….
Can totes believe it in re: Volts*Amps
Yeah, Watt seems like a massive dude. Just genetically freakish.
The triceps on the armrest was the thing that could not look right for the entire flight, was the comment.
THIS NBA FINALS GAME I CALL IT WHACKING DAY BECAUSE THE IRISH ARE TAKING MANY A LUMP.
moar like Losston
NO FANS HAVE EVAH SUFFAHED LIKE WE HAVE!
The most irritating part is the overreactions, as though the series is decided by aggregate points now.
Sounds like more fake election bullshit.
Based on the commentary you’d think Dallas is going to start Game 5 with a twenty point cushion.
You, me, and 51% of America, Nerds.
Not a good day for whiskey/whisky drinkers…
It’s always a good day for whiskey, Sir.
Found a funny:
EVIL MAGIC HAT: put me on
ME: no, not interested
EVIL MAGIC HAT: if you put me on we can teach your dog to play drums so you can start your band
ME: fuck alright
Evil Magic Hat knows what’s up
We’re naming the band Evil Magic Hat, that’s for sure.
FOOK OFF YA CUNT
-random Scotsman, upset at the footy, trying his damnedest to finish in the sheep du jour
So this was supposed to be a reply to your other comment about whiskey.
Sourry and whatnot.
Well, I was not expecting to hear your origin story tonight, but I did always suspect it involved an evil magic hat.
Whatever band this gorilla is in are the Morris Day and the Time to you and your dog’s Prince and the New Power Generation.

SW part of LAX today. This is near where I live (and where Yeah Right used to live).
This is an an Atlas Air first generation Boeing 747-100 freighter, the original “Queen of the Skies” and I think the best looking aircraft ever. The the upper deck hump is all curves. The nose on this aircraft lifts up and exposes the entire circumference of the cargo bay:
https://ibb.co/4Kh2LQw
Also today, this time at the original Mines Field SE (ca. 1920s) quadrant of the property.
That’s an Emirates Airbus A-380 idling there waiting for tower permission to go to the “hold short line” on LAX Runway 25L for takeoff on what may likely be a 10+ hour flight.
https://ibb.co/t42F7wG
I’ve been on that flight, about 16 hrs. Top shelf food and booze, and amazing sleep, then a shower and another meal. Still have the PJs and didn’t manage to collect all the amenity kits, but gifted the dupes. Haven’t been able to check out the new Emirates F, but it’s not on the A380 and doesn’t have the showers.
You are The Flying Duchess
25 L or 24 L?
Those large international planes usually leave from the North/Brick side. Plus, I don’t think you can get that close from 25 L to get that shot unless you were inside LAX.
A-380s can take off and land using both the north and south fields. The choice is usually which is closer to their gate (which is almost Bradley International). Also, I took this photo today just next to the original 1920s Mines Field terminal building which is still standing, and is still a public street. I am an LAX scholar.
Hey Balls we need a DFOCON-LA!
I’m down!
I’ll fly down for that!
I forgot about Douglas St.!
TBIT gate 150 today, which is almost in the middle but very slightly south. Taxi time of 46 minutes, so time for 2 glasses of champagne at least.
46 minutes?!? That’s pretty insane for LA.
DFW? Sure
ORD? Makes sense
LAX? That’s some fucked up shit right there.

“airplanes” really r just simulations conjured up by teh Deep State obvs
Hippo, you and I need to meet up again and sit in comfortable recliner chairs in front of a big-screen HDTV set and consume large amounts of our own legally prescribed opiates together in a safe place. Not lethal doses (nobody wants that) but we’ll also have abundant stool softeners and prune juice at hand, and nutritious snacks. A speed-dial connection to WCS is probably a good idea. I’ll bring some pretty good movies but I’m not averse to watching some college hoops.
I want *that*
Was “Fallout” a fun video game? I can’t decide if I like the TV series or not. But I guess I will keep going, anything to stop contemplation of this shitheap we call life.
Did nawt know they made a TV series. The game was, in fact, very fun.
Amazon Prime, home of Thursday Night FITBAW!!!
Tis on Amazon.
Fallout video games up to Vegas were very good. 76 is terrible.
Only saw the first episode, keep meaning to get back to it. But as I type, Mrs is watching Birdgerton, so it ain’t happenin tonight.
I’m actually a bit confused as to what the appeal of video game TV shows is. The great thing about video games for me is that the interaction keeps me engaged. The story is awesome, and if there are great reasons to pause and listen to or watch something then I will, but I’ve never thought “gee, I wish I could just watch this without doing anything”
Agree in general, but The Last of Us on HBO was really good.
Definitely have to depart from the story to make it worthwhile.
The Last of Us needed a lot less plot development and a lot more blowing mushroom people away.
That may have been my most important use of the word ‘away’ ever.
“Yeah, blowing mushroom people is awful”
-Melania
A lot of folks don’t play video games. Some games’ plots are good enough to be shows.
“Is” more than “Was”. Have some friends that love it, but I get about 20 hours or so into Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 and I get bored. Same thing happens to me with Skyrim and Starfield. Word on the street is Fallout: New Vegas is the best.
Jackson Merrill with the HR!
That’s Rocking!
Now the score is 2-1 ⚾️
Mets still leading tho….
Go Padres!
I posted this in the previous Request Line, but it might have gotten lost so I’ll repost it again here. BeefReeferLives (who I didn’t know was a Yinzer) answered quite nicely but I know there are more Yinzers out there. BTW I think Pittsburgh is a pretty cool place.
Here’s my earlier post:
So other Yinzers please speak up!

I think you need to call 911 to get an answer
I did. Here’s the transcript:
ME: Hello, 9-1-1?
911: What is the nature of your emergency?
ME: It’s not an emergency at all. May I speak to WCS?
911: The Omaha WCS or the Pittsburgh WCS?
ME: Pittsburgh, please.
911: Hold on.
(various clicking noises)
911: What is the nature of your emergency?
ME: WCS? It’s me, Brick!
911: Hi Brick! Are you injured?
ME: No. I’m fine.
911: Good to hear. What’s up?
ME: I want to ask you about shaved ham sandwiches.
911: Okay, but this is probably not the best venue for this discussion.
ME: Yeah probably not. I’ll talk to you later.
911: Later, man!
Just put fries on it!
Wife grew up in Morgantown, knows about chipped ham. She turned me on to pepperoni rolls, I turned her on to cole slaw on a barbecue sandwich.
Great thing about cole slaw, even though it’s soaked in mayo, it’s cabbage and thus healthy fiber or some other sort of healthy

Everyone is fighting a battle you can’t see, except me, my battle is very obviously kicking my ass
Wait, Ayo. Are you hinting that you’s a fat fuck just like Hippo???
/though I am taking my BP meds for migraines already, am basically a walking corpse now
/also, you batted your best hitters all in the Top 4, how very SABR-metric of you
Gotta maximize those ABs!
Of all the things my doctor lectured me on, my weight was low enough to not be mentioned. But, yes.
When I was in high school, I would have probably committed four felonies for #10. Totally my type back then…
Back in high school I would have committed those felonies just to give any of those ladies the time day*
*using my calculator watch
oh man, that TOTES gets the ladies moist amirite???
The early models were nowhere near as waterproof as they claimed, definitely killed a couple in the Atlantic
I’d commit 3 today
In high school I’d be wondering if #8 liked Dungeons & Dragons.
I do not have to tell you that she would not.
That’s a full bodied red right there on pic #6…
Alcohol won’t make a heart attack worse, will it? Because I’m thinking I should keep an airplane-size bottle of bourbon next to the aspirin, just in case it doesn’t work and I’m truly done for. I’d hate for the last thing I taste on this earth to be some nasty bitter chewed-up aspirin.
I was looking at restaurants and one of them had the blurb “Fillipino fare, beer & wine in chili dogs” which I though sounded really awesome until I realized it said “chill digs”. So no innovative chili dogs that are somehow filled with beer and lumpia 🙁
I’m pretty sure I saw a guy have a severe heart attack at a cafe in Berlin. The staff had some training and CPR equipment and such and the ambulance was there very quickly. They whisked him away and even let his wife ride in the ambulance with him. I did NOT finish my lunch.
I was about to make a joke about how it seems unlikely the restaurant’s food is the reason that he had a heart attack, but then I remembered that restaurants in what used to be East Germany are only allowed to serve one item and one item only (they call it “sturgfustessen”) and the particular restaurant Dok is referring to only serves Good Morning Burgers.
That’s nothing but a load of rich, creamery butter.
Salted or un-salted?
