Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

Look at them dogs having an exchange of opinion. Does it remind you of anything that might be on later this evening? I don’t plan on watching but morbid curiousity has gotten the best of me before. I’m sure the comment section will be rocking this evening.

HA!:

The NFL got dinged a heady 4.7 billion in an antitrust lawsuit regarding overcharging for DirectTV fees. The plaintiffs argued that the league is filled with a bunch of conniving money-hungry liars and what do you know, a jury of their non-peers agreed. (perhaps someone can explain what’s going on here down below) Of course the NFL will be appealing.

Close Call:

Free agent Randall Cobb nearly paid the ultimate price of playing for the Jets last year-karma is a thing you know-when his house caught fire. The source of the conflagration was a Tesla charger that burst into flames and eventually engulfed the house. I smell burnt rubber and LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT!

Shut Up!:

So we had a contractor in our house this week doing a few things. Why? Because I can barely change a lightbulb, that’s why. He had been there for a few days before I met him yesterday for the first time. So on his way out the door and apropos of nothing he starts going on about Trudeau being fired from his job as a teacher because he was banging an underager but the media won’t talk about it. And Trump was railroaded. I just met him two hours earlier. What the hell happened to trite exchanges about the weather or sports? Fuck sakes.

Sprots:

Panama is beating the US 1-1 as I write this. Later on Uruguay will tackle Bolivia. Maybe there’s more NBA draft to watch, I don’t know.

Take it away, muchachos.

Buying a bunch of cheap crap off Temu will help somehow, perhaps. The country may be headed towards the shitter, but at least I can watch using my new bed desk while a soothing galaxy lamp projects stars on my ceiling

ballsofsteelandfury

I bought one of those with the Northern Lights and Lady Balls loves it!

WCS

This being Temu, and you being you, none of those words can be taken for their normal meaning.

TheRevanchist

Lady Balls sounds like my downloads from last night after the wife fell asleep.

You and Randall, hanging out at the video store.

It’s a shame we don’t have anybody that goes by the handle “Happy Scrappy Hero Pup”.

Horatio Cornblower

Yet.

Gumbygirl

I ordered a couple of cooling pillows
(we’ll see) from Target that are supposed to come tomorrow. Retail therapy! I should get a star projector thingie, that sounds cool.

Yesterday I got an email from the pretty lady in HR reminding me that my annual T&A refresher training was due.
Sadly T&A means time and attendance certification, boss stuff.
I am tempted to tell her that I get plenty of T&A refresher here in the Clubhouse.

So that’s how yinz get it do stick together…

Horatio Cornblower

The Onions current headline is “Nuclear War Sounds Fucking Amazing Right Now”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I wish I were capable of completely tuning out of politics for the next week or so.

Sharkbait

Recoverable?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I certainly hope so. Let’s not forget that Hillary was judged to have won all her debates, and my own vote certainly isn’t going to change based on tonight’s debate – that’s why I didn’t watch. But it definitely means we’ll be stuck with another six months of “Sleepy Joe” bullshit.

ballsofsteelandfury

RFK may have been the winner of tonight’s debate.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You know…

Horatio Cornblower

Unfortunately the ‘Sleepy Joe’ thing isn’t bullshit anymore. This was his first public appearance of any significant length in quite a while, and it was painfully apparent as to why. His physical appearance is dreadful and he can’t string three sentences together without getting hopelessly garbled.

Look, I’ll vote for him as many times as I can get away with, because Trump, (and more importantly his acolytes) are a fucking nightmare, but if Biden doesn’t step down the only chance he has in November is if the Grim Reaper pokes Angry Orange in the chest sometime in late October.

ballsofsteelandfury

He needs to step aside. Now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ve been really resistant to this for quite some time now, but all of a sudden hearing “it’s more than just a cold…” wouldn’t upset me terribly. It’s a shame that Kamala Harris isn’t a better politician.

Horatio Cornblower

Week?

That’s wildly optimistic of you.

fleshwound_NPG

isnt sentencing in a month or so? this summer is just not going to end

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

There’s a tropical storm brewing – might even be official by tomorrow – so if it takes aim at Florida the news will probably have a shiny new bouncing ball to chase after.

(on Fox News they will claim there wasn’t a single hurricane during the Trump administration and openly question why Biden hasn’t fired a nuclear missile at the storm yet)

I don’t know nothing about politics right now and I’m SOARING.

You gotta get rid of the addiction apps. There is no ‘responsible use’ — they’re poison and no one knows how to manage doses; we just say we do as a collective excuse to shrug and continue on consuming (see: overabundance of packaging).

Gumbygirl

Thank you everybody. I love you all. I’m making my man a steak, I’ll come back after dinner. I don’t want to hijack everyones evening here, please carry on with your bad selves! That’s what’s going to help me the most.

WCS

Eat some edibles for us. We love you both.

Horatio Cornblower

You go right ahead and hijack every goddamn thread you please.

Gumbygirl

I’ve been debating how and when to tell you guys what’s going on here, so I guess this horrendous debate was enough of a buzzkill that my news fits. Guys, Gumby is sick. Very very sick. He has liver cancer, and it’s spread to his lungs. He had his first round of chemo, second round is scheduled for July 8th. Obviously, it won’t cure him, but may make his symptoms a little better, and that’s really all we can hope for. He has some pain, mostly in his right shoulder because his liver is pushing up on his diaphragm, but some in his abdomen too. He has pain meds, and as much weed as he wants. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this, but I want you to know that you have helped me every day.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m so sorry, Gumbygirl! Anything we can do to help you, please let us know!

WCS

GG… I’m so very sorry; please let if there’s anything I can do.

SonOfSpam

So so sorry for what you and Gumby are going through. You have all our love and support, and if you need to vent and/or be sad, we’re here.

Doktor Zymm

Sending all the hugs, we’re here for you

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, man. I’m so sorry.

litre_cola

Oh GG, Mrs. Cola was a dietitian in cancer care and left because of heartbreak. She just said ENJOY EVERY FUCKING day as you, and he will remember the smiles.

You are my favoUrite deadspin exile, tell everyone.

ArmedandHammered

Oh GG, I am so sorry to hear that. You need us, just let us know.

Mr. Ayo

Fuck cancer. So sorry to hear GG.

Horatio Cornblower

Gumbygirl I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and Gumby.

If you need *anything* please do not hesitate to ask.

Sharkbait

I am so sorry. Please reach out to any of us if you need anything, even just a place to scream into the void. We’re all here for you

BeefReeferLives

Ah Jeez, Gumbygirl… I’m so, so, sorry to hear that your man is sick. I don’t know what else to say, except ill be thinking about you, and sending you all the good vibes i can.

Game Time Decision

Fuck Cancer and hope that the chemo works

Redshirt

Praying for you two.

2Pack

So sad to hear that, it’s going to be a real struggle but I trust with your help he will fight and press through. Be strong my friend.

Senor Weaselo

Oh jeez, sorry to hear it.

If it makes you feel any better, you two are my favorite. (Don’t tell the others!)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Catching up on DFO from overseas and this sucks. We are here for you in our little dick jokey way.

yeah right

You and Gumby are the best folks ever and you’ve got a lot of people rooting for you and supporting you.
We’re here for you.

I bet you Don T’s Uruguay Boner is causing people in Puerto Rico to think we just had another solar eclipse.

No hay Quinto Malo.

BEAT AMERICA.

Horatio Cornblower

Don’t bother, we’re doing fine by ourselves.

ballsofsteelandfury

Fuck It. I’m voting Uruguay for President.

They look SO fucking good!

litre_cola

Canada Uruguay final. Book it.

ballsofsteelandfury

Ok, seriously. How drunk are you?

Brick Meathook

I’ll tell you what: Im ready to run for President

Plus I don’t have much damage in my past. A bit but nothing I can’t get around.

That thang being democracy.

Brick Meathook

Balls, together we could be the most destructive in history.

ballsofsteelandfury

Right???

Doktor Zymm

When people say they hate small talk I wonder if they’ve really considered the alternative.

So the debate has been that bad huh?

Doktor Zymm

Glad I was napping instead of watching, but that was always going to be true regardless of how the debate turned out

Sharkbait

I chose video games. I think we both made the correct choice

Horatio Cornblower

I went up 8 levels in 4 games of Fortnite!

fleshwound_NPG

credit card got hacked, and hotmail account ive had since 1999 (had to kill it, RIP sweet prince) got like 400 messages of purchases

next credit card i get next week gonna max that shit out and let the debt load up all the way to the sun

ballsofsteelandfury

If I was Biden….

Moderator (to Biden): How would you handle China?

Balls’ version of Biden:
Well, I certainly would not suck Jinping’s dick like Donald here has. Maybe I’d get him some of Donald’s peeing hookers but I’m sure he’s already got some. Btw, Donald, how does Stormy’s pee taste? How much did that set you back? Apart from the verdict, of course.

Moderator: The question?

Ballsy Biden: I answered your question.

Doktor Zymm

Too bad you weren’t in charge of his debate prep

Redshirt

The DayQuil kicked in for a minute or two

ballsofsteelandfury

Are y’all still watching the debate? I need my updates as God knows I’m not watching that shit.

Uruguay is dominating Bolivia nicely.

SonOfSpam

Ok, here’s my two cents, which you have been waiting with bated breath for.

heh bated

Anyway, I think Biden is ill. But if he had postponed the debate tonight, then the discourse would’ve been OH NOW HE SCARED. But he should have, because Trump is lying every time he opens his mouth, and Biden can’t take advantage because he’s at less than full strength.

ballsofsteelandfury

And that shows the Democrats’ weakness. They trip over themselves too much by caring about the wrong things and not being in tune with the country.

NO ONE GIVES A SHIT IF YOU CANCEL. THEY’RE GOING TO TALK SHIT ABOUT YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. YOU GO THERE WHEN YOU’RE READY TO DO WELL OR DON’T SHOW UP AT ALL.

Yeah, I don’t disagree with you. We care way too much about what the others say.
