Another Year, Another FA Cup Weekend

Upon popular request (wait, is Spam popular???)

I had intended to do a longer piece explaining some of Lesser Footy’s HippoSPEEK.  But I had too much stupid work to do this week, and my mind is forked beyond recognition.  Hate week, though.  I do have time and hate in my heart for The Satan’s Taint Licking Redshite.

By which, I mean Liverpool.  You know, that “tourist/plastic Club” that every member of England’s footy media feel the need to fellate, every second of every day.  One might gesture indignantly towards tomorrow’s Owl, when Dreamboat will no doubt fellate BOTH himself and Mahomes every other sentence.  But Liverpool are really worse than the P*ts and Chefs COMBINED.  Really, they are U*NC on steroids.

Obnoxious?  Check.  Head-patting condescention towards “little clubs?”  Oh, fucking CHECK.  An unwarranted smug sense of superiority, because every Norweigan Wal-Mart carries their stupid “Standard Chartered” red kit?

Oh, you get the point.  The coloUrs are just a little reversed, like how they use “red” for lefty political parties (unlike our use for the New Brownshirts).

Maybe not my best Evertonian memory…but DEFFO Top Five…Steven Gerrard falling flat on his arse, costing his team a result that would keep them from winning the League.  Slippy G’s next trip to Goodison featured this on the stadium PA:

They call us “Bitter Blues” like that is such a cutting insult.  FUCKIN’ A RIGHT I AM BITTER.

Anyway, Liverpool can fuck off, and I will start watching general Prem footy again once they aren’t sleepwalking to the easiest Title in history.  Today?  Enjoy rando FA Cup action on ESPN+, especially Toffees/Cherries at 10 EST.

Owls are space aliens

Mr. Ayo

Reminder, birds aren’t real.

Doktor Zymm

They all live in Wyoming, which also isn’t real

Bogdanski

Makes sense. The burrow owls certainly know what the queers are doing to the soil to build landing strips for gay Martians.

So, last night I said something about being a quisling for our machine overlords. I was incorrect, I will be “good life”. Who gets the reference?

Mr. Ayo

*raises hand*

Not me!

I used it in class yesterday to describe 51st Staters in Canada.

THIS LOAD OF LAUNDRY I JUST WASHED I CALL IT DATE NIGHT IN BEN SHAPIRO’S HOUSEHOLD BECAUSE NOT EVERYTHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GET WET ACTUALLY DID.

I love Singapore, but not sure I could handle having this be the weather year round.

As someone that barely follows the footy, I assumed that it was Man United that was most hated, but will hate these guys too

Two of my best sports predictions?

2007-told my heavy gambling bean sprout supplier that he should take the Giants to beat the spread and to double down on the money line. (the amount of money he put on those bets after listening to my advice made my head spin)

2015-told all my buddies on the Troy Nunes Syracuse basketball site that the only team that could beat undefeated Kentucky was Wisconsin.

Hope you got some free sprouts out of the tip!

I was gifted a massive bottle of very expensive scotch, the cost of which was far less than 1% of what he won. That he thought to give me anything surprised me.

In grad school, I was kicked out of the Geography and Geology Department’s annual NCAA Tournament bracket challenge after winning twice in a row (2007 and ’08).

Hey, another GOD FEARIN PATRIOT who just WANTS TO KEEP THEM GEYS AWAY FROM KIDS can’t stay away from kids.

Stop me if you’ve seen projection and awfulness before.

Under twelve — yeesh man.

Is Matt Gaetz looking for a wingman?

Doktor Zymm

Why are so many dudes so bad at using airplane lavs? It’s not difficult, you put the lid down and press a button.

blaxabbath

I prefer to pee outside on the beach.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

A true surfer pees in his wetsuit.

blaxabbath

I’ve never worn a wetsuit. Maybe one day when I go out for Big Wavestm.

Would I need one to surf MX? We’re going to Puerto Villarta next weekend for my neighbors wedding and i saw they have the New Blax Addiction (crack is so 80’s). Why PV? We can’t see any other time we’d visit so….

“I’ve Never Worn A Wetsuit” is the name of my Ben Shapiro substack.

The internet says that water temperature is 75°, so you definitely won’t need anything more than a rashguard.

“How would anyone know it’s me?”

I giggle the folding door back and take my seat, awaiting the pre-flight briefing.

I always make sure to leave like some pretty lady will be waiting next at the door… and greatly appreciate my chivalry.

Mr. Ayo

Agree to disagree, I guess.

It’s going to be exciting to see who else besides Dick Jauron is on Ginny McCaskey’s list of servants that have been designated to accompany her to the afterworld.

yeah right

Well I certainly enjoyed Toffees Cherries.

Doktor Zymm

Got like 11 hours sleep on the plane, about 3.5 hours out of Singapore now and they turned the cabin lights on, breakfast soon!
It’s 1:30 am Singapore time, a perfectly cromulent time for breakfast right

scotchnaut

“Bacon, eggs and three fingers of scotch , please.”

LemonJello

Not something you’d hear JPP order…

yeah right

How can you sleep that long on a plane?

Teach me!

Doktor Zymm

I’ve always been good at sleeping on planes, and now with business class plus being sleep deprived for the past week or two it was easy to pass out after dinner and sleep.

I can still sleep pretty long in an economy seat, but it’s not a restful sleep.

2Pack

I could never get decent sleep on a commercial flight. But a cargo plane with a ton of shit piled on me and 60-100 snoring farting friends… like a baby…

Horatio Cornblower

Lunesta, and don’t be stingy.

Mr. Ayo

I can’t sleep 11 hours in my own bed. Impressive!

Doktor Zymm

The longest I’ve ever slept was when I was 17, I got home from Woodstock 99 and slept a solid 20 hours

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Makes sense, recovering from trenchmouth is rather exhausting.

yeah right

Breakfast noodles!

Doktor Zymm

Gonna have so much kaya toast tomorrow!

litre_cola

On to the next round where will for sure draw Citeh

Mr. Ayo

Moar like Bye Citeh.

Only three guys offside on that disallowed goal for Wigan.

Beerguyrob

“In for a pound” at that point.

scotchnaut

This Wigan/Fulham tilt is animal crackers.

Mr. Ayo

No, Eli! Those are not for breakfast!

yeah right

Our defense has gotten fairly legit.

I was reading about corrupt popes during a period of papal history called ‘The Pornocracy’ (related, huge history nerd) and I discovered the best thing ever: there was a Pope Lando!!

My favorite pope name is Sixtus the Fifth, or Sixtus V if you’re JD Vance.

Doktor Zymm

Medici?

Beerguyrob

Never mind – Litre fine now.

litre_cola

Was a tough few minutes there.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Permission requested to refer to Wigan as “Wiggum”. And I guess in that case their mascot would be the “Chiefs”.

scotchnaut

Great response.

Beerguyrob

Someone check on Litre – Wigan just tied Fulham.

scotchnaut

Deci may have taken his phone, is what I’m thinking.

Horatio Cornblower

Probably for the best.

scotchnaut

Wigan? Wigan.

Only because Fergie isn’t around to give them candy & compliments anymore.

This is literally every Trump voter I know. And you can’t tell them any different.

Gatoraids

hey now some are also in the “If I just bend down hard enough, one day that will be me” crew

blaxabbath

I’m like, “So I’ve figured it out. X, Y, and Z are your fatal errors to succeeding in the world you claim to want. So if you want to succeed, stop holding yourself back with X, Y, and Z.”

They all like, “Yeah maybe….” which means, no.

But one of these days they’re gonna prove that minor expenditures are greater than major expenditures. I look forward to saying i was right until disproven by a Nobel Prize winner.

How’s the phrase go? “Temporarily embarrassed millionaire.”

Man City can’t put [checks notes…checks notes again] Leyton Orient away because of course they can’t.

scotchnaut

Good god, they’ve brought on big guns Foden and Broom as subs in the 72nd minute.

scotchnaut

Annnnd Broom delivers the dagger.

As I mentioned before, I was diagnosed not merely with a common cold, nor that Covid thing that all the celebrities are dying of, but no I got fucking pneumonia.

They took chest X-rays and nose samples and cheek samples and one doctor even asked if I would like a vibrator shoved up my ass. I politely thanked him for the offer and declined and said hey man maybe another day. This ain’t my first rodeo.

So I’ve got a prescription inhaler and an antibiotic that has warnings not to eat or drink anything while taking it. They even had a pharmacist come out and go over the warning sheet with me. I asked “Can I still drink Jim Beam straight?” She looked at the sheet and said “I don’t see it here so I guess that’s okay.”

But “dry mouth” is listed as a side effect, and boy were they right. It just happens out of the blue. It’s not just a dry mouth feeling, it’s as is there is no longer any water in your body, or certainly not your mouth. It feels like concrete curing, and everything is suddenly going to stick together.

Good thing I keep the jug of Jim Beam handy. Pray for Mojo.

2Pack

Jeez man get better soon. I though the only thing you needed to avoid eating while on antibiotics was eggs. A whole list? I’d violate that too Buddy, except maybe the eggs, Italian mother’s usually know what they are talking about.

Mr. Ayo

#BrickStrong

Have some more Beam ASAP

blaxabbath

Look at Mr Got-Approval-For-A-Diagnosis-From-United-Healthcare over here with his connections.

Must be nice not to have to carry a list of all the executives of every organization i do business with….err….you do business with.
