Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 2025-4

FB_IMG_1739084728430

Another golf double-header for me this weekend. I played in a tournament today and I’ve got another one tomorrow. Today’s tourney was a standard scoring type while tomorrow’s is a unique format I’ve never played: A one-man scramble. Apparently, you get to hit every shot twice (except you can only do that for tee shots on three holes on the front and three on the back) and pick your best to play from. That should come in handy in case of fuckups. I’ll let you know how that goes…

So, aside from weird golf formats, what is there to talk about?

Current Events

This week was a short week at work thanks to the Presidents Day holiday in the US. We dared to look at the calendar and were bummed to see that there are no more holidays until Memorial Day in May. I plan on taking many vacation days. I can’t do full months any more. No patience for it.

I’m progressing on my goals at a satisfactory pace. I’ve completed all the reading and I’m now doing extra credit. Also, one of the people I’ve mentored was recently promoted. More promotions may be coming in May.

Steelers Update

The Steelers signed a right end that used to play for the Chargers.

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Monster Energy Ultra Blue Hawaiian Zero Sugar. I think Monster has finally figured out that the Ultra flavours are the way to go. They keep bringing out new ones and they’re all delicious.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Name five better 90’s movies than Go. You can’t!

/seriously, I would be impressed if anybody could name even one.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That was weird – originally the page loaded with the above video as the one from Go.

THIS RIKKI I CALL HIM TRENT GREEN BECAUSE HE’S SPOUTING OFF NONSEQUITIRS AND EVERYTHING SEEMS STATUS QUO ANTE

Jimbo

The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Fargo
Fear and Loathing
/never seen Go

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Those are all arguably better movies than Go, but only Pulp Fiction could make a claim to be a better 90’s movie than Go.

Doktor Zymm

Oh, I think I did see that, just don’t really remember it

Mr. Ayo

WTF is Go? Never even heard of it.

Mr. Ayo

This is a myth. Can’t believe you folks fell for it.

Private club, Detroit

I walked past those two mooks, I entered the premises, and I said “I thought I smelled sheep shit.”

They really dug it.

The boy has the flu and my wife is coming down with it now so I hit up the pharmacy for tamiflu to be told it’s another half hour.

So I came to this ice cream place that is….’alt’. And they have great ice cream. So I order a scoop from the not-naturally-born-gal gal here and those powerful hands drove in and scooped me the biggest single I’ve ever gotten at an ice cream place.

This is how that San Jose State Volleyball Coach must have felt like when he saw what these…young Americans are capable of.

So i tipped enough that my appreciation was shown but not so much that the message was, “You’re so fucking hot. I’ll be in the bathroom with the graffiti.”

Mr. Ayo

Bidwell’s sexuality aside, you missed out on a great handy.

I saw an ad for this, I’m intrigued but not enough to pay for it.

This guy is maybe a bit more practical, helmet and knee/leg pads seem like a good choice
