Competitive Dart Tossing* – NFL Draft Day Three Thread

There is also various Lesser Footy, but Hippo likely be the only fool deliberately waking up at 7:30 EST for Chelski/Toffees (USA).  It’s all about sucking the Redshite’s collective cock, and I ain’t got no time for that nonsense.

But really, it’s Rounds 4-7 of the Draft.   Assuming I stay awake long enough, my general musing after Day Two can be found below.  Otherwise?  #ShrugEmoji

[HIPPO THINKINGS – Decided before 7p, even – Not.  Fookin’.  Arsed.]

I do think it would creative and humoUroUs for Yinzbergh to trade, say, 2026’s 2nd round pick to the Humps for Anthony Richardson.  He could likely manage to run an Arthur Smith offense, while he tries to master the art of quartered backery.  Or not, it’s just waaaayyyyyyyy better an idea than touching Q-aron with a 40-foot pole.

In case I don’t get around to Draft thinkenings, here is some nonsense.  I have started wondering why we haven’t seen arenas/stadia/franchises named after things other than real-life companies and/or personages.  For example, NC State’s basketball place.  Supposedly, the sponsoUrship was back up for bid.  Why the fuck couldn’t some enterprising software millionaire pay to enshrine Wu-Tang Financial Arena?  We could have Diversify Yo’ Bonnnnnnddddssss Night and everything!  Embrace the chaos, take a fucking chance why dontcha.  We need to buy some better hoopsball enthusiasts.

*and seriously – the Brits actually DO watch darts as a competitive sport.  What a strange fucking people, Maestro should maybe write about that one day smgdh.

Jerrah making a 7th round pick and all the sycophants around him clapping like their jobs depend on it.

Doktor Zymm

LOL, they killed the mystery writer with the Golden Pickaxe statuette for best mystery writer

Doktor Zymm

Oh there is lots of good stuff in this show. The lady mystery writer who just made a comeback after being washed up caused a disturbance at a pub called ‘The Embittered Hack’

Doktor Zymm

And the rock and roll aunt (who is also a mystery writer) hasn’t been able to smell anything since 1984

herodotus450

So it’s a remake of Murder, She Wrote?

Doktor Zymm

I would say loving parody of a variety of sources

There’s also a bunch of Poe references, and some Agatha Christie, some Ian Rankin, and probably a bunch I’m missing

Was going to try and do some chores around the house, but then I discovered that the neighbor’s sink/garbage disposal decided to back up into my sink while I was out horseback riding. They had pasta with tomato sauce leftovers recently it seems. I scooped out the chunks and sprayed down the sink with cleaning goo and something about the combination of cleaning fumes and discarded tomato sauce smell set me off dry heaving for a couple minutes so I’ve given up on the chores. Gonna have a beer and try watching this ‘Queens of Mystery’ show on PBS instead.

Sounds like your unit has a main line issue. Any diaper or maxi pad abusing types nearby?

Doktor Zymm

Probably, the apartment complex occasionally has to send out notices about such things

Next year, when they’re doing all these draft announcements using fans from other sites, they really should do a Raiders pick from a maximum security prison.

Don’t know if any of you saw it, but last night the Ice Rams’ coach made a challenge so bad that even Lovie Smith was probably cringing. In a tie game, he handed the Oilers a power play, they scored, and suddenly they’re back in the series.

“When the phone call ended, Sanders headed back inside the house to officially hear his name be called. The reaction was priceless and a clear sign of relief for everyone in Sanders’ inner circle.”

Almost feel sorry for him. Just imagine being relieved at being drafted by the fucking Browns

If you have not seen Sinners yet, I highly suggest you do. Great action, world building, vamps and the klan getting killed, Irish vampire dancing a jig, it got it all.

You had me at “the klan getting killed”

Girlfriend is off at the Clippers game today, so I’m planning a leisurely afternoon of chili making and day drinking.

scotchnaut

You’re living my perfect day. But I’m quite sure my wife would object.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That sounds much more pleasant than the two hours I just spent cleaning the bathroom shelves.

Dunstan

Isn’t there a vacuum attachment that reaches those shelves?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t know why I said bathroom shelves I meant garage shelves.

The vacuum attachment I’d use, actually, isn’t available because I need to wash the grease off it because I used it on the top of the fridge earlier.

BeefReeferLives

Using any interesting ingredients for the chili?

Dunstan

Starting with homemade chili paste — just toasted a bunch of chilies and gave myself smoke inhalation, but managed not to set off the smoke alarm, so call it a draw. They’re simmering in some chicken stock now and will get blended up into the paste shortly. Got the idea from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. Leftover paste gets frozen and saved for future batches.

This is going to be an all-meat chili. Usually I like beans, but girlfriend doesn’t so it’s going to be just short ribs and oxtail. Some umami boosters like anchovies, marmite, soy sauce, but otherwise the basics of onion, cumin, crushed tomatoes.

I didn’t do anything special with these carnitas – just some bone-in pork shoulder strips with a bit of salt and mexican seasoning cooked in the pressure cooker – but goddamn if they aren’t one of the best things I’ve made in, like, ever.

Gatoraids

something to be said for letting the meat speak for itself at times

yeah right

Did you baste them then put them under the broiler for a couple of minutes to get crispy? That’s the baller move.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I did that the first night I cooked them and they were great, but today I was lazy and just fried them up in the pan a little and they were almost just as good.

yeah right

Such a wonderful cut of meat.

They’re on sale at Vons right now for $1.99/lb.

Back from the eye doctor.

Gotta admit, I was a little nervous about this visit.

My vision has gotten pretty fucking shitty and I’m fully cognizant of that. I was really worried about cataracts and such possibly fucking with my fall trip to Barcelona.

Turns out my vision has gotten worse because I’m fucking 63 years old but all I needed were new glasses.

Plus my blood pressure was 120/66.

I’m doing tip fucking top! So I treated myself to new glasses with Gucci frames.

Doctor said to keep doing what you’re doing!

I’m starting to think that bitcoin is never going to actually crash, because in order for it to crash all the rich people who parked money there would need to cash out – i.e. they would need the money for some reason. But they control the U.S. treasury, so if they ever actually need money they’ll just get it from there instead.

One of the few good things about my health care provider is they offer vision services along with medical.

I’m at the eye doctor office now for the first time in 5 years.

One of the many shitty things about the same provider is my appointment is for 9:55 and it’s now 10:07 and I’m still sitting here like an asshole.

Be on time motherfuckers!

The ESPN crew, when gushing about one of the picks’ character, described him as a “future President of the United States of America” and my first thought was “wait, he sexually assaults women?”

The Raiders somehow managed to Nightmare on Elm Street their way into Balls’ dreams to find a presenter for their fourth round pick:

This is probably old news to many of you, but apparently there’s a company called Public Square that is a sort of branding/search engine for businesses that believe in “Life, Family, and Liberty,” if you know what I mean and I think you do (Donald Trump Jr. is on the board).

I’m now searching local business listings to see who’s signed up for them. Nice of them to let me know that they don’t want my patronage! Fortunately, most of them I’ve never heard of, though there was a nearby restaurant I used to like.

Dunstan

Ooh, found a bail bonds company! I guess they’re really taking that “liberty” thing seriously. Probably comes in handy when you’re arrested for storming Congress.

That lamb must be really sore by now.

Some dude on reddit mentioned he used to dogsit for Coach Reid and I’m thinking it must have been such a revelation for the animal to finally such a thing as “table scraps”.

The funny thing about naming rights is that they can actually legitimize things – Crypto.com arena being a perfect example. So I’m a bit surprised that RFQ hasn’t used half of HHS’s budget to buy up the rights for “Vaccines Cause Autism Arena”.

Senor Weaselo

That will be the new name of the arena in Seattle.

I wonder what it is like to be in Sanders’ place right now? I know the press/media doesn’t bother him — but this is like brass tacks, no one wants you.

Then again, I also hope to see him get called and his response is to walk up, yank away the jersey, and scold the team for costing him two days with the playbook already. #Legendary

I feel kinda bad for any kid who slides without any really horrible off the field stuff going on. At least his family doesn’t need the money

I think the Geno Smith pouting after his 1st round draft. Combined with that Miss Universe / Steve Harvey the winner is you—WAIT, no sorry, it’s the other country.

Shedeur is that, but with 100% enjoyment for all who hate substance-free media whores.

For me it’s more like the Lonzo Ball situation.

One of Raiders picks had a brother who died in the Sugar Bowl terrorist attack. But it’s not something you can laugh about, like you can with the death of the brother of the main character on Suits LA.
