Mrs. Anderson’s Potluck is Decadent and Depraved: Tuesday Open Thread

If anyone asks, I was here with you all the whole time. Rikki told a story about how he met his wife when he was selling vacuums door to door, and I spilled a beer on myself at the part where she asked him about his selection of attachments.

NFL NEWS:

-Nick Chubb has escaped Cleveland!

But he escaped to Houston, which would be the Cleveland of the AFC South if not for Jacksonville.

I suppose now that God Botherer Jack Easterby left town, it’s acceptable to publicly have a Chubb.

-Aaron Rodgers’ corpse has shambled out onto the practice field for the Steelers for the first time. It’s a match made in heaven, a dude and a team who both seem to be tired of livin’, but are too scared of What Comes Next to let go.

Lot of that going around right now. The Who just announced a “Farewell Tour.” The two actual members are over 80. One’s a mostly-deaf pedophile, the other is a very deaf Old-Tory-Verging-On-Republican. I saw them 25 years ago and it was a joke then that Roger Daltry has to kinda mumble through the line of “My Generation” where he hopes he dies before he gets old. Literally the most interesting thing is these two publicly fighting with Ringo Starr’s nepobaby (himself rapidly approaching pensioner age) about whether he quit or they fired him.

My first boss “practiced” law into his 90s. He had no family, no real hobbies, no real identity outside the role he had created for himself. I visited him in the hospital as he was in his last illness, and his first words to me were “Did you see my comments on that draft?” I didn’t have the heart to tell him I hadn’t worked for him for almost a decade, so I told him I had, he made an interesting point, and I would incorporate it into the next draft. Went home that night, got roaringly drunk and gave my wife a letter to hold onto, with instructions to hand me that letter on the day I need to hang up my spikes permanently.

I’d suggest Aaron should have done the same, but I’m not sure his bad wiring could handle the concept of a message from his past self.

-ESPN’s coverage of…everything…has been shit for a while, but seriously: you are at least ostensibly journalists:

“Strike lightning twice.”

Strike.

Lightning.

Twice.

Fuck’s sake.

-Based on this live look-in, it looks like Rodgers is already having an impaxt on Steelers team culture
