Christian Bale as Al Davis? Nicholas Cage as John Madden?

Greetings from Gatwick! Try to guess how far in advance our of flight we arrived at the airport.
Welcome to The Weird Hours.
Pit stop on the bike ride this morning. Nothing replaces those burned calories like a brioche and double shot of espresso.
Hey, Alex found his way back. Haldo.
Radio: “…and the Reds tied it in the Bottom of the 9th as we go to Extra Innings.”
(turns off car; goes inside; checks Dad; puts groceries away; turns on TV)
Television: “…as we go to the Bottom of the 10th with the Reds down 5-1.”
Me: “… … …even by Cincinnati standards, that’s kind of impressive.”
More classic Elvis:

Spec5 Elvis was a bad azz Elvis.
Cleveland! #1 seed in the East! Best season since LeBron!
Loses to a play-in team!
CLEVELAND!
That reminds me, I haven’t seen one of these on the road in a while.
Play some Queen on the 8 track and we are there people…
Indiana’s not a play-in team! They went to the conference finals last year – they are 100% legit.
Interesting…

Always assumed every team just threw them away. As the Calgary dude says, you don’t know the provenance of that cap.
HOWEVAH! I love the idea of a display case. Have a wall of hat tricks for your players, with a row for each. No need to include all the hats, add a plaque, and it’s a cool viewing area in your arena.
Me too. Found the breakdown of which team does what with the hats at the end kinda cool.
State that only the flames throw them away but then list the blackhawks as also discarding the hats.
No writer credited. Is it incompetence or cheap robot journalism?
I assume they didn’t ask every team since they didn’t ask the Kraken. So the latter.
(Yes, I know this is a 2018 article that was before the Kraken existed, settle down. There’s many other ways to dunk on me.)
Did they have robot writers in 2018? Maybe it is incompetence.
I like the ones who count up the hats and donate the equivalent number of new hats. That’s classy.
Darkest Timeline just gave us a spoiler on an upcoming Boss Level.
Tragic news, people.

Reunited with an old friend.
When I was a kid we never saw wild turkeys or eagles in CT. Hell, a hawk was a big deal. Now?
There’s 20-30 wild turkeys in the woods and fields behind my house, there’s at least one and probably two pairs of eagles nesting at the reservoir down the street, and hawks are a dime a dozen.
That’s why I can’t wait until the EPA brings back DDT, so I can once again thrill to the rarity of these birds, rather than seeing them all the time.
Best birds we had at our feeder the Green Painted Buntings. Before we had to stop due to attracting countless ducks pooping everywhere and rats at night.
That’s the worst camouflage I’ve ever seen, unless that thing lives in Buddy Cole’s closet.
Here’s a repost from very late last night when you were all tucked in your little beddies.
This is the greatest Elvis clip of all time ever.
(Note: These links always open with the sound muted, for some reason. Unmute it quickly! This is Elvis dammit!)

Elvis and The Beatles, two singing acts I could never get into
Do you like Nickelback?
That’s the type of response I get everytime I say it. Just don’t vibe with them.
And I prefer Jefferson Starship, Mr. Smarty Pants.
this is the beast that rules my house
Bonus, she just barfed
happens to the best of us every once in a while…
OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT GREAT TITS EAT BRAINS!?
https://www.odditycentral.com/animals/this-adorable-bird-is-apparently-a-vicious-brain-eating-zombie-in-disguise.html
i know i act mindless when I see them
Just read that in the birb guide. I am shocked.
The more I learn about birds the more I realize that the whole dinosaur thing is true
That was a fun rabbit hole you sent me down
Tits been eating my brain since I was 11
Tell me about it…
Washington with a torn achilles. it’s nice to have angst over an nfl team in fucking May. Eat my fuck. EAT IT!
I love that this became an Audobon Society issue

But is a cardinal a birb? We need the #BFIB expert to weigh in.
Alex is back in town!

Ya Boi is out of the hospital long enough to click internet buttons!
You’ll be back hangin’ at Dino’s soon enough, Alex.
Shove. Your. Shitty. Schedule. Release. Video. Up. All. Your. Asses. Simultaneously. And. Pay. Trey. You. Dingleberries. !.
The Chargers vid is always good.
And that’ll be the season highlight.

He’s in hell, trying to rape teenage girls but hell is full of Marge Schotts.
She’s like five teenage girls in one bag
“Tell me more”
-Matt Gaetz
He’s in a Casino with Sports Gaming. With an infinite amount of TVs. And he’s broke.
So, yeah, Pete Rose’s version of Hell is pretty much his life, except he’s not in Las Vegas or Cincinnati anymore.
even he wouldn’t bet on that
“Pete’s dead and gambling is totes cool now, so what the fuck, ya know?”

Thanks Alex
No problemo!
Alex! How are you?
Shhhhh! He’s bird watching.
Silly Alex. Birds aren’t real.
Me too

I can’t figure out how to have the video embed
Aww. Cute lil flapperlings…
Neat, so you can see exactly how much birdseed is being stolen by squirrels or other rodents!
There are many videos of the squirrels and trash pandas emptying out the feeder. There’s a pair of trash pandas that tag team the feeder at night
I’m doing ok! Recovering well from bariatric surgery and back surgery. Down 45lbs in the past 6 weeks
Keep up the hard work
Congrats!
