So, unfortunately, Senorita Weaselo was sick this weekend, meaning we couldn’t go see Gil Shaham play Mendelssohn with the Phil. Which sucks. Because he’s fantastic.
Fun story! Actually two. Story 1: When I was a lad my youth orchestra went to go see him play I don’t remember what. Anyway, we got to do a Q&A with him afterwards, and I remember asking, “How many violins do you own?” His response: “Almost one!” (The violin was on long-term loan. Eventually it got taken back, much to everyone’s chagrin and annoyance.) Story 2: When I was a senior at college he came to play a concert and also give a masterclass. Unfortunately I wasn’t picked for the masterclass (partially because it was the day after my final Master’s audition), but afterwards there was the usual wander and stick around, and I had been listening to his version of the Prokofiev Sonata that I had been playing. So I asked about the fingering he did in that section you may hear in the movement I posted (the scherzo), because I had just said “fuck it” and did it all in position. Which he tried and said, “You know what? That works, I might use it.” So I can die happy now.
Anyway, yeah, we missed the concert, which sucked. Anyway, here’s the news!
-Well, we got all the fallouts from the trades, and ownership changes, and all that.
-Giants OT Andrew Thomas is out for the year (Lisfranc).
Okay, what’s on tonight?
Well, there’s still playoff dirtball:

Did I just see a commercial for a new Meta product that looks a hell of a lot like Google Glass?
“Hey, remember that thing Google brought out a few years ago, that you all thought was creepy? Well, guess what!”

Following up on the Simpsons decision, man, fuck the Nebraska Secretary of State and AG. Per Justia:
From the decision:
While I would totally use that power for good and not evil, I don’t trust other people. Other people suck.
If other people didn’t suck we wouldn’t need laws in the first place, anarchy would just work
I officially like my new job, a little over one month in and I’m working on super interesting stuff
That’s fantastic.
I’m so happy for you! I knew you would find something good. Your new employers are no doubt thanking their lucky stars they hired you!

Of course the refs give them a power play.

NO ONE DENIES THIS
I have no idea how or why this happened, but the Nebraska Supreme Court apparently got so pissed at someone that they shot their claim down while citing Patty and Selma Bouvier as people who would know better.

A judge in Connecticut, Jon Blue, once cited Snoopy from ‘Peanuts’ fame, albeit I believe only in a footnote. I used to look for reasons to cite that case.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
I yearn for the day when you could to opposing counsel’s motion for hearing with Bart Scott CANT WAIT gif. And charge $875 for filing it.

HOW THE FUCK YA DOING, YOUR HONOR
From this morning’s thread:
I’m astonished that the cops showed up.
Swordslugs vs. Icebirds was wild. 5-5 and heading to OT.
Holy shit, these new/old ODU helmets rock.

Honestly, why do I have to talk to people? Can’t tey just I don’t know, take a picture inf ront of the casket, send it to me and say, “Having a great time! Wish you were here?”
You don’t. If there is one day you can tell people you don’t feel like talking, this would be the day.
Listen to your Balls.
That’s my favorite Roxette song
THANK you, couldn’t think of the band.
Is balls ownership transferable, like the house elves from Harry potter?
No, this is more like a Lowratio situation, where there is no ownership rights. Just governance rights if certain conditions are maintained.
Coincidentally, the first clause in both use the phrase “free range.”
Someone should make you a button that says “fuck off before you say hello”
How can I make that happen before tomorrow at 2 pm (EST)?
You could make squirm your dad’s acquaintances who tell you about all those times they meant to go see him but, hemm, you know… Just stare until they come up with concrete bullshit and condescend the hell outta them. Who says telenovelas are useless?

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this one before, but holy shit did I do a spit take.

For all you Warhammer fans, especially this young lady.
WH40K, my bad.
If she gets through his entire time-share pitch, which is 9 innings long, without leaving she gets $10 million.
That’s the only possible explanation I have for this photo.
He promised her a Hermès bag.
Whoops, he actually said Heresy bad.
You guys (and I mean all guys) should read The Power. The (implied or explicit) threat of violence is an undercurrent in virtually every interaction.
So.. because of the implication?
I’m in the middle of a trial. Someday I will tell you the story, but that day cannot be today.
Tomorrow is a couple of witnesses, then charge, close, and pretend to read the news while actually staring at the same paragraph for two hours while hoping the jury comes back and tells me I’m pretty.
LET THEM FEAR THE JUSTICE OF THE STATE! FLAMETHROWERS AT DAWN YOU FUCKING SCUM!!!!!!!!!
I’m debating citing ‘Ancient Aliens’ in my closing, so this isn’t far off.
Have you tried the Phoenix Wright approach? Scream “OBJECTION!” and bang the table?

Liam Payne went one direction and then many.
He went the Wrong Direction. Gravity 1, Liam Payne nil
The Story of His Life, Gravity Dragged Him Down.
Gravity is a harsh mistress.
Still undefeated…
I saw a couple Argentine accounts on Twitter that appeared to show the fall.
Not really something I wanted to see.
Payne’s are so hard to replace when they fall out of windows
There it is.
Or… Payne’s past their prime sometimes fall out of windows.
Like that guy, you should have stopped at the first floor
No, he stopped “on” the first floor.
His manager, yelling out the window “LIAM, WHEN I SUGGESTED A TRIBUTE TO CLAPTON THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT”
My daughter was big One Direction fan, (Niall Horne, who fortunately still walks the Earth), and she sent me this.
I replied
“Looks like the one direction Liam shouldn’t have gone in was…
/whips off sunglasses
…down!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Anyway, apparently I’m a monster.

You know it’s a good day when a master of fingering decides to follow your tip.
Funny, usually my tip follows the fingering
wait, how do you fuck your own balls
Very, very gently.
