Post 10th Anniversary Blowout Thursday Open Thread

God, what a night that was! I’m still picking Tonight Girlfriends’ underthings (those that bothered to wear underthings) out of the branches of trees in the Clubhouse yard! Don T is still asleep in a lawn chair with a bottle of Patron in his hand. Hippo is in the corner trying to make friends with a “Eww, dog” as he put it. Gumbygirl and Dok are whispering back and forth and looking at the rest of us. That cannot be good. Ayo is rifling through all the stuff in the freezer and yelling for “Stoli. Sweet, sweet Stoli”. RTD came up to me and said, “Did you hear that?” I shrugged my shoulders. “It’s the sound of a vacuum not running.” Horatio is re-enacting Kemba Walker’s run through the Big East Tournament to no one in particular. It’s damn chaos is what it is.

Otherwise, there’s not much going on but I did see a few items-

Turns out that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are eating Payday! bars this year as their salaries increase a fair bit. As late as 2019 they were getting a whopping $200 per game but then after a lawsuit was settled it increased by double. Apparently now it’s been upped to $1600 in what a reality-deprived shaker of pompoms described as “life-changing” money. Ok, everyone is in a different financial situation but I stuck my nose in the air as I typed that. Another cheerleader added, “Now I don’t have to wash my panties in the sink of Stephen Jones’ private bathroom as he films me anymore!” It’s the little victories that make all the difference.

There’s been much consternation that J.J McCarthy’s appendage has atrophied to pasta dimensions because he, a) missed a year, and b) played in a Harbaugh offense when he was at Michigan. Fear not, Justin Jefferson assures the media that McCarthy, “definitely has an arm”. “Damned with faint praise” is running through my noggin currently.

Tonight Sports:

Toronto-born Shea Gilgamesh-Alexander will attempt to hand the Thunder its first champeenship.

Here’s something that the kids are listening to. Well, one kid. Ok, my oldest Skull Fracture Boy. Enjoy.

I’ve got nothing but mad respect for these guys but I wish they had safer footwear.

Let’s think outside the box:

Doktor Zymm

Danish seems to have more in common with english than German does in some cases, like hospital instead of krankenhaus

Doktor Zymm

Which is literally house of sickness. Honest but depressing

Mr. Ayo

RELEASE THE KRANKENHAUS!!!?!

WCS

“Karteloffsoft” became a term for vodka in my collection of friends two decades ago.

Literally a bastardized Deutsch version of “potato juice.”

Mr. Ayo

RELEASE THE KARTELOFFSOFT!!!

So, I’m scrolling down and seeing a lot of references to Saudi Arabia. Is this a Sports Thing or a We’re All Gonna Die Thing?

Doktor Zymm

Yes

2Pack

I thankfully don’t suffer…

Mr. Ayo

Somehow, I slept wrong last night and had lower back pain all day. Back pain is the #1 thing I fear the most and have fortunately never had. But today was a day in hell. Hope I sleep right and everything’s properly aligned tomorrow.

Doktor Zymm

We should trade sleeping tips. I only fuck up my neck when sleeping wrong. If we collaborate then maybe we can figure out how to either sleep without destroying anything or more likely we’ll just end up as cripples. Wait, why did I think we should do this?

Mr. Ayo

Make no mistake, I’ve messed up my neck a couple of times sleeping too. Only a single day problem, but not fun.

2Pack

Sleeping in the wrong position is where I now get most of my shoulder, arm and lower back irritation. The sad thing is I now need to work out to recover from my rest injuries.

WCS

The ways I tend to sleep constantly put undue strain on my knee, partly a reason why the right one is so fucked.

What can yinz do?

Doktor Zymm

Could have taken a voluntary bump for $550 last night on my flight to Chicago but passed because I was tired and a dumbass. Regerts, I have a few

SonOfSpam

Voluntary bump?

They’re giving out cocaine at airports???

Jimbo

Don jr is the new head of the TSA.

2Pack

I personally would have went with the un skinny bump… But that’s just me…

blaxabbath

It ain’t whatever or whatever — but our expected August bloodbath is now pushed up to July 1 as builders are pulling back almost all spec single family housing starts as investor inventory has now entered the market in force. We’re lean as shit and much of that slack is picked up by me — so I’m not shedding a tear about that ‘soft’ workload evaporating.

And now I’m grumpy because we’ve agreed to start prepping to sell and I know that’s NEW work for me.

Also, my patent got denied. I mean, patents are both stupid and I knew I was coming in weak. Not that it matters now — no one will spend the cash to rip me off anyways.

But we head to the hale EOM so that’s gonna be cool.

Doktor Zymm

Fuck em all, just be on island everything

blaxabbath

My money guy has been waiting for this moment since day one. He’s gonna have to put his fucking nose the the grindstone because even I don’t understand anyone values a piece like this and I ain’t got the energy to do as good a job as I am going to insist out of his ass from like Day 1.

SonOfSpam

Victory over Saudi Arabia vindicates Khashoggi, and old wounds are healed.

Gumbygirl

I’m still mad.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, an awful thing in a whole field of awful.

Mr. Ayo

Game 7 isn’t until Sunday? WTF? Flights can’t be that hard to get between those two flyover cities.

Doktor Zymm

They’re taking covered wagons

Mr. Ayo

Well I hope the fjording goes well and everyone avoids dysentery.

Doktor Zymm

“About that…”

THIS GOLD CUP GAME I CALL IT 9/11 BECAUSE THERE ARE AMERICAN BODIES EVERYWHERE WHILE A BUNCH OF SAUDIS ARE CLAIMING THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!

Fire can’t melt Steel Beams or Tim Ream

I don’t want good things for Oklahoma, but I don’t want to see pacers championship shirts from a bunch of bandwagoners…

If anyone’s interested in the USMNT playing Saudi Arabia let me tell you, there are plenty of good seats still available.

God damn OKC sucks so bad I can’t even make a joke.

Also their basketball team is choking away a championships

Don T

Botafogo 1 – 0 PSG 2nd half forecast: 50% chance of blood

ballsofsteelandfury

I’d put it at 75%…

Horatio Cornblower

Announcer: ‘What’s Saudi Arabia doing that Trinidad & Tobago didn’t?”

Me: “Issuing a credible threat that anyone scoring a goal for the USA is going home in several body bags?”

Don T

I ran out of melatonin. To keep it homeopathic, bourbon + watah

Horatio Cornblower

I hear good things about this stuff called marijuana.

Brocky

People keep talking about Mary Jane and I’m wondering what the hell spider-man’s girlfriend has to do with anything

Brick Meathook

There was a nasty foul ball that slammed into a coach in the Ray’s dugout in the BAL-TB game. I didn’t see it and they won’t show a replay but for a while it seemed like there was a dead body there. They took the guy out on a body-board on a golf cart and he gave a thumbs up but it was scary for a while there.

7 games of okc and indianapolis is god confirming david stern is residing in the same space of hell as joe paterno

(I’m also drinking a margarita, watching the USMNT play in the Gold Cup in Saudi Arabia for some reason (that reason is blood money, the best kind of money), and enjoying the cross breezes from having every door and window on the first floor wide open)

Don T

GOOOOOOL BOTAFOGO! 1 – 0 PSG. That ref is rrrrlly letting the players beat the shit outta each other.

Mr. Ayo

Is M-bop still in traction in the hospital?

Don T

He’s in Real Madriz [spits on floor] now. Was out for “fever” yesterday.

jjfozz

I don’t want to brag, but I think that I’d do okay in the Road Warrior apocalyptic wsteland

Horatio Cornblower

I’d do poorly with the Road Warriors, but if there’s a zombie apocalypse sign me the fuck up.

Don T

In an apocalyptic wasteland, I’d aim to become the Treasurer of a glue-sniffers clique.

jjfozz

Why do people think it’s ok to bring their dogs everywhere? I love dogs. I have a dog. But fucking hell, I don’t bring her into a Foot Locker or whatever. Fucking millenials.

Doktor Zymm

Same category as the shitheads who bring their kids into a bar and then scold people for drinking andusing language like ‘shitheads’

LemonJello

Glad I’m not alone in this.

The Lady LemonJello and I thought the same thing at one of the local breweries last weekend.

Preach, Dok.

If you don’t want me saying “fuck” in front of your kids, then don’t bring your fucking kids into a fucking bar.

I’m still annoyed that you can’t say fuck at a hockey game without some parent giving you the stink eye and threatening to call an usher. But the teams are all about being “family friendly” now, so that ship has sailed.

Mr. Ayo

Haven’t had that fucking problem. Of course, parents are loathe to spend $300 on a ticket for their kid to sit in that section.

Horatio Cornblower

Just tell them they better get married again before their kid winds up with a cock in his mouth.

(not that there’s anything wrong with that)

Horatio Cornblower

I bring my kids to bars all the time.

They’re 27 and 24.

jjfozz

Well, stupid fucking hockey is over. Now waht? You’re tell me ithe orioles are worth watfhing?

Mr. Ayo

More like No’Cers.

Going the way of the Oilers here.

He’s really eager to join Bibi in the dock for war crimes I guess

Israel: “Iran hit a hospital, which is a bad thing to do.”
Gaza: “I agree.”
Israel: “Go back to packing your things!”

Doktor Zymm

I recently saw a photo of IDF forces taking cover in the basement of a hospital. Meanwhile, the nuclear and military installations in Iran are very much NOT near population centers yet Israel is bombing the cities anyway.

For the record, it’s been 3 years since I was in Iran so you can’t blame me for this one like Syria and Ukraine

Redshirt

Netanyahu is the 4th worst thing to happen to the Jewish people, behind the Rameses, Dathan and Hitler. The other three are way ahead of Bibi, but he is a solid fourth.

SonOfSpam

Also on tonite (8:15 DFO time, FS1) the USA takes on Saudi Arabia in CONCAQUEEF Gold Cup action. I assume Saudi Arabia is in our region to replace Canada, whom we’ve annexed recently.

Jimbo

USA always disappoints. Also the soccer team isn’t very good.

SonOfSpam

But we’re finally the good guys the slightly better guys not the worse guys aw fuck

If you find a phone, call 9-1-1.

There’s probably one near where that submersible imploded, but you’ll need a really long rope for your magnet.

Doktor Zymm

I was under the impression that Ayo favored Costco vodka and Tito’s over Stoli. I have no idea how I got this impression.

Very much appreciate the correct apostrophe usage in this post!

Mr. Ayo

This is correct. Stoli sucks. But freezer vodka is freezer vodka.

Doktor Zymm

Depressing play references are the MOST funny
