Please note that when those words are uttered it usually means the person who said it had fucked up and made some sort of rookie mistake, and are either A) using that statement as a crutch to be beyond reproach or B) mocking themselves for doing something dumb. Normally it depends on how well you know the person. Most of the time with my friends it’s B. Or with me. Like forgetting to use the school printer to print out music for a party the next day when the contractor (who is also your partner and you can see the stress that’s been on their face and body and everything else for the last two weeks as they’re just barely on the verge of saying “fuck it”) is counting on you.
Which is to say, I’m a professional! And that’s why I’m doing a quick “I guess this is sort of a Senor in the City category” Wumbo post on the bus, between going from my class’s group concert (I am very proud of them) to *checks notes* sing in a choir because my best friend asked me nicely and also she’ll throw a couple bucks my way, plus I’m playing Midnight Mass there.
But hey, I had a great country solo in “Let It Snow,” so it worked out!
(It was not country.)
In non-linked news, condolences on anyone who took the over on David Montgomery’s rushing yards for the year. 775 for a 775.5 O/U heading to this week is great… if not for the MCL tear that claimed his season.
QAaron continues with the hottest takes from 2021 about asking about people’s vax status.
Starting QB changes, as Penix is in for Cousins, and the Famous Jameis era seems to have ended in the Factory. Meanwhile the mayo’s gone bad for Don T’s Tits, as Mason Rudolph is in.
What’s on tonight? Hockey, and the Whatever the Fuck Bowl.
Jeezus I’ve had an adventure tonight.
Somebody say something funny and I’ll tell you about it.
What happened when Jesus went to Mount Olive?
Popeye got pissed.
Ok, your turn.
I go to move my wife’s electric heater and it shorts out the room. I’ve got no gfci outlets here and I reset the breaker. No clue what to do now.
I’m really in the dark here.
Kerosene up that bitch.
(I think that’s a Prodigy song?)
2 margaritas and an order of guac, chips, and salsa for $20.45 plus tip. Beautiful.
Quality fun at a low price right there…
While I was driving up here they had a law professor on NPR talking about the whole Tik Tok ban thing. It’s amazing the lengths our government will go to avoid having to pass comprehensive data privacy legislation.
And it won’t even work. Tiktok will have to move to offshore servers and the app and updates will only be available via web, but that’s not all that difficult
My first world problem is that I played some lousy tennis tonight. We went up 4-1 and then lost the set 7-5 and were down 3-1 in second when my partner got hit in the jewels with a volley (thanks to a meatball I served up) and we had to call it a night.
My shoulder still hurts enough that I have an excuse, but not for long.
Someone may have mentioned it already, but there’s also ‘Stand back, I’m a professional’ for when you’re about to do something mind blowingly stupid

Sledgehammer and Ghostbusters were some very formative shit for me
Long day! I took today off, it was originally the day after launch but launch got pushed to tomorrow so I’ve been checking in on everything for any small changes that need to happen.
Spent a lot of the day driving, although was able to get in an extra horseback lesson between rain storms. Up in Santa Rosa right now, dropped my bag off and am currently having a margarita and guac at my fav shitty mexican chain. Oh did I mention I haven’t eaten all day?
You wanna talk about first world problems? A couple weeks ago my fav 20 y/o Ray Bans broke. This after very recently paying 500 bucks for new prescription lenses. So these are the only frames they had for the lenses. At 250. I think they look dorky but I’m gonna wear the hell out of them and make my money work damn it! It’s what we do!
My wife loved her some fancy sunglasses; could never go wrong by getting her Ray-Bans.
I typically break or lose sunglasses within two weeks of getting them, so a typical pair for me costs $0.00 because they were giving them away at some street fair or something.
I rip mine off passed out guys on the Strip overpasses too.
Last week, Lil’ WCS asked where my sunglasses were. Told her they went to the same place all the other half of all her pairs of socks go.
I just go all nerdy and get my prescription glasses with photogray lenses.
I always forget them when I travel so I have like 20 cheap pairs that I picked up around the place
I’m bad with glasses and sunglasses, too, but use prescription ones, so I order cheap ones online.
I have lost 2 pair in the Med just dickin around. But that was years ago. This set really hurt, but after 20 years plastic just fails I guess.
Unless you’re looking in a mirror you don’t have to see em, so it’s all good!
I will bet I get positive comments on these. It seems the more I just cope with things I’m not crazy about, the more friends validate it, or just love it. Or maybe they are just cheesing up to me.
Seems like a positive outcome either way!
Ugh, I didn’t pull the trigger on my liquor store order and now they’re sold out of luxardo cherries when they were a great price.
No, shut up, you have first world problems.
Tough break Bro. Can’t even say that adding, “with a cherry on top”… Just tough…
Pulling a trigger on a liquor store order usually results in at least 30-40 years behind bars.
That looks like a pinky-in-the-air Old World problem.
Xavier, Winchester, and Hendrick are all mortified.
Oh no, disaster!
My sincere condolences, sir.
I finished watching the Fightin’ Horatios when their Big East opener, (badly, against a very injured Xavier team: ain’t gonna be no 3-peat, folks), and now I have something called ‘The LA Bowl’ on my TV.
Someone get over here and unplug my television
Man I like didn’t eat enough today then was like, “I need to get my into the gym this afternoon.”
I’m still fucking feeling sick. I don’t even know what would alleviate this sickening feeling.
^ Master of the Pen, This Asshole
Yes, yes, we’ve all seen r/ButtSharpies
Usually when I feel that way, I just eat until I Carpenter.
Take a three day long dirt nap?
Food?
I did some.
This must be how Kirk Cousins feels on game day, based on his play.
lookit them thar Fightin’ Fronks, standing on their hind legs!!
Energy Vampire Update:
Over the course of an hour and fifteen minute (should have been 20 minutes tops) meeting at a bank EV says to a complete stranger that is trying to straighten out some paperwork that, “I’m trying to be patient but I want to bite your face off”.
/that is verbatim stuff, guys
Seems like more of an actual vampire…
Sounds like a great way to get kicked out of a bank.
“yes maam, I was also trying to be patient but now I’m calling security”
No TV tonight, just classic rock and MaryJane (Spidey’s gf or marijuana – either one would be fantastic) to smoke.
The comics one, not the movie ones.
Are you smoking part of Spiderman’s girlfriend?
Seems like more of a scotchy sort of thing.
I was really hoping to see Penix in action live.
Instead I saw Cousins being done.
How dare you besmirch the Boca Raton bowl?
I turned it on. These two teams and the venue obviously suck.
He surely wasn’t referring to the ART OF SPORT L.A. BOWL HOSTED BY GRONK.
Played at 6 PM PST at RAMMMMMMIT Field.
Featuring Cal-Berkeley, from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
And UNLV, playing in LA for a bowl game whilst USC plays in Las Vegas.
Everything is stupid!
I bet 20 on the Rebs. It means something to me!
Good bet! The Cal QB ain’t playing, and UNLV is good (indoors).
Be proud you a Rebel cause teh SOUTH’s gonna due it agin…
I read it as being sponsoUred by 80s weirdo band Art of Noise
