Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last 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:
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year [in bed]
Song by Andy Williams

For those of us with kids it’s kinda nice to be going to back to the routine of school.  I get that means earlier mornings and soon to be extracurriculars and all that other stuff to be done, but do like the going back to school.  Note that only one of my kids is going to school this term and oldest has graduated and has a first jorb.  Poor kid.

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.


Tony Romo should be dumped into a cauldron of bubbling Gatorade.

He’ll miss the cauldron several times, finally submerge and the upper-class spectators in the boxes will proclaim him an elite QB.

I feel like the story in tonight’s post could be made into a fun horror/comedy film about a suburban mom who starts murdering bullies. Working title “Orange Slice”.

(the title somehow connects to an incident that’s related to the mom providing orange slices for the halftime of a kids’ soccer league game, and also how her VW bug kind of looks like an orange slice)

Gonna be a hella fun FF season!

In a draft that left fans scratching their heads, Bearsenschiesse Barons managed to secure a disappointing grade of D. Projected to finish in 10th place with a lackluster 6-9-0 record, it seems like their fantasy season might be more of a comedy than an epic saga. Despite snagging Rachaad White at a decent spot, the team’s hopes were dashed with the selection of Tua Tagovailoa way earlier than expected.

To add insult to injury, Bearsenschiesse Barons will have to navigate the 3rd toughest schedule out of 14 teams, with 2 key players on bye week 6. The decision to draft 3 players from the same team might either lead to a triumphant victory or a catastrophic collapse. With this lineup, Bearsenschiesse Barons might need a miracle to avoid being the punchline of the league’s jokes.

My reaction upon reading this preview full of fine jokes and actual analysis as compared to my own phoned-in effort yesterday:

Moving back towards Connecticut from Montreal with the speed of Benedict Arnold, (if you get that reference you also majored in history, and are a huge nerd), we’ve stopped in Burlington, VT to visit my son.

Went out to dinner with my son and his gf tonight, (hey, guess what, Dad picked up another check! Lawyers, amirite?), and I wore my Mike Liut replica Whalers jersey. Shout out to Royal Retros and Vietnamese sweatshops!

On the way out the guy taking ideas says something to the effect of “Hey, that’s a really cool shirt! What team is it?”

I explain the Whalers-Hurricane thing, then urge him to buy any Whalers jerseys from Royal Retros and not the NHL, because fuck Gary Bettman right in the face. Then one of his co-workers comes up and says “cool shirt, what team is that?” and right about then I realized that I need to start pricing nursing homes.

Travis Hunter said Coach Prime’s style of coaching was preparing his players for the NFL. Guess he neglected to mention it was playing for the Panthers.

It’s a little overcast this morning. Did you know that, over the ocean near Hawaii, rainfall averages between 25 and 30 inches a year. But the islands receive as much as 15 times that amount in some places and less than one third of it in others.

Hawaii is truly a land of contrasts.

I’m overhearing Senorita Weaselo talking to her best friend and explaining to him the difference between constipation and menopause.

In fairness English isn’t his first language and he’s mixed up masochist and misogynist before. In public. Talking to someone who was not Senorita Weaselo. (Although that person is also as bright as a wet match in a cave, so of course she didn’t correct him.)
Senor Weaselo


I gotta return today. Wrapping up some laundry then getting TFO.

They got a big Hawaii Independence scene here. If I can me locked in as “one of the good ones” I can guarantee you I will put my [to-date-kinda-effective] hating / productivity skills to that Cause.

I always thought I wanted a First Ammendment dispute with the federal government; I see now that I’m just looking for a war.

i told mrs. fozz if you root for notre dame on saturday, you don’t have to attend mass on sunday

she didn’t believe me.

i’m still not going tomorrow
jjfozz

A lot of early Christians believed that faith was a matter between one’s self and God, and that the practice of faith was best practiced in private, between the self and God, without any public histrionics. For example, see Matthew 6:5-8, in which Jesus advises us not to be like the hypocrites who make sure they are seen in public when they pray, but rather to go into your room, close the door, and “pray to your father who is unseen.”


What I’m saying is you have a man-cave, and you should go into it, close the door, and scream “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST” and “GODDAMMIT ALL TO HELL” as your teams once again destroy all reasons for faith, but you’re still talking to God, in private, as Jesus commanded, and thus are a better Christian than your wife.


Also please film yourself telling her this.

There’s going to be an Aaron Hernandez movie on FX?

Cannot thank you enough for all the hard work you put into this column. I truly love going to this source for cooking guidance. I’ve mentioned before the obvious benefits of the ad-free experience for the blood-pressure, but it’s so much more than that. Your writing has a voice, your brother is a wonderful co-host, your photography throughout the cooking process is informative and enticing (That’s HARD TO DO! Who knows why, but it is difficult as hell to make food look tasty in pictures!), and your tone is always encouraging and adventurous. It’s why I make it a point to always read Sunday Gravy, even if the recipe isn’t in my personal taste wheelhouse. Whenever there’s a lack of household inspiration around meals (which happens often), or a suggestion comes out of left field, I can, more often than not, snap my fingers and say, “Wait! Yeah right had something on this…” Here’s to ten years! Cheers, brother! And have a great season!

Thank you Yeah Right for 10 sensational years. Been following since my KSK lurking days and have picked up so many great tips and wonderful recipes from your labor of love right here.

Bumper garden season this year. Giving tomatoes away which everyone says taste beyond delicious. The rest has all come in fine also. Seeing the first olives, it’s a late growing season this year so I hope for a good haul well into October.

Be well Buddy.

“Daaaad!”
“What?”
“Homework!”
“Fantasy football draft, better get started on your own.”

This weekend, every some afternoon sexy time, I came downstairs and Godzilla vs. Megalon was on the television. Sometimes Life just gives you a big kiss on the cheek.

jjfozz

It was indeed delightful. I just wish someone else was in the room with me.

jjfozz

My oldest son gave me pointers on how to draft in our fantasy football league.

I guess all that ass wiping I did for him in his formative years is being paid off.

This is the year that I pay attention to my fantasy football team. The past 18 years do not exist.

King Hippo

I pay near-pathological attention to any fantasy team, even/especially without moneys involved. Doesn’t help any, mind.

ArmedandHammered

Time to start pre-gaming for 4:20pm.

ArmedandHammered

I need to retire, I just wrote an email that had the several sentences where all the nouns were acronyms and it had to be written that way. I am afraid soon I will not remember what any of the acronyms actually mean. And it makes sense to others in my job, but for anybody else it is complete gibberish.

blaxabbath

Is this a concussion where you need to rest but die if you fall asleep?

ArmedandHammered

nyes

jjfozz

I’ve been working for a contractor that supports the Marines. Been two years. Still have no fucking clue as to what 90% of what the fuck everyone is talking about because every goddamn sentence has three acronyms used. (I think some of them are made up to fuck with civilians.)

Oh, they are.

Good to catch up on what y’all were talking about while I was gone, looks fun as usual!

Today my plan is to be as lazy as possible. I start my new job on Monday and have been pretty busy/active during my funemployment, so this should be a nice break. I really started last night with a bottle of Sangiovese and Civ, and this morning I’ve spent 3 hours in bed reading, playing with my phone, and having breakfast. Now I’ve made it to the other room and am debating between video games and streaming video.

I log onto DFO very first thing, helps fortify me to log in to work.

I have to do it on my PC next to me, since my work laptop blocks us, on the grounds of ‘Mature humor’. We’re immature humor at best.

That’s probably my fault.

ArmedandHammered

Same here, plus work has stopped all streaming services on work laptops or in the office unless it is an online learning class. They made people come back to the office but were not happy with the bandwidth bill that resulted. Penny pinching bastards.

blaxabbath

How much a month extra per person do you think the extra bandwidth bill was reduced by implementing the block?

ArmedandHammered

probably not much, just another attempt to keep teh workers down
