Happy Lake of Fire Day After!

Did Hippo doggone-near forget to write this?  YOU BET!

We introduce the last group of the Women’s European Euros today.  When they got drawn in this Group, do you think they all sang We got the Big D!!

/yes, that was sort of a Wet Leg reference.

Based on the first 3 days, looking pretty hard for anyone to keep up with Spain and/or Germany.  Though I will always keep a (pervert) eye out for the lovely Nordic goddesses, as they fall away one by one.  Que lastima.

4th of July song, as hinted in the title:

The game ended 3-2?!? ⚽️

I guess it was Rocking!!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It was actually a pretty amazing finish. Madrid keeper made a great save to literally end the game.

TV: “Up next, the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers!”

Me: (panting) “I guess its time for me to find some dinner.”

That was one of the best goals I’ve seen all year. What a dagger!

OR IS IT?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, it was. But it couldn’t have been any closer.

“It’s Not Coming Home” can apply to England not winning this tourney and the British Museum’s response to requests for artifacts from former colonial countries.

Genuine Madrid are making these honeycomb guys look like clowns.

Ok that makes sense; this whole time I thought it meant “to Al again”

I think the Real Madrid vs BVB match starts in a bit ⚽️

Should I watch?? Is that gonna be Rocking???

SonOfSpam

If Madrid wins, then Germans would be 0-2 in soccer today and in World Wars last century.

A smart thing you can do in the kitchen is to use a vegetable peeler to stir the mango salsa you are making and then use it as a tasting spoon.

Woof. PSG up 2-0 WITH NINE

My cold is much better, but my sleep schedule is profoundly disrupted. Zero winks last night, was just about reaching zzzz’s a few minutes ago, when SIL called to see how I’m feeling. So now I’m lying in a sweaty, grumpy heap. Ugh.

I’m rarely sick. I’m not good at it at all.

Doktor Zymm

Sounds like me a couple weeks ago. I was sooo tired and couldn’t sleep well. Hope you can get some rest!

Get well

I don’t understand why there was there an altercation. Did the Turning Point USA Volunteers I mean Neo-Nazis become overly aggressive while seeking his autograph?

Clearly DAZN is not bound by the restriction that ads are supposed to play at the same volume as the programming itself.

Apparently they have no interest in following the example that ABC/ESPN set when they showed Haliburton rupturing his achilles tendon on a loop for twenty minutes.

Had to go to twitter to see it. Trying to forget it now 😓

yeah right

First directive for Wales, get a taller goalie.

If I were head of advertising for a sports bra company I’d go for it and spend 90% of my budget during these games. This is how small companies catapult themselves into becoming a name brand.

Can’t go wrong with the Scandinavian ladies.

So, in the main page, it says “Hippo” but on this page it says, “King Hippo”.

Who’s the royalist/anti-royalist around these parts responsible for this?

Awesome.

It’s kind of funny that if you asked a MAGA chud what their least favorite sport was, most of them would say “basketball” given that basketball is the only major sport out there that was invented in America by an American.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s a very simplistic way of looking at it, but I’m starting to think the common thread among them is that they just love violence. It doesn’t matter what form; violence is all that entertains them, and nothing else will do.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m not so sure about that – I think a lot of them prefer to view the victim through a “they had it coming” lens to assuage any guilt and/or social repercussions. It’s why you have heels in wrestling. Outside of the genuine sociopaths, it’s more enjoyable when you can feel like the victim deserves it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nothing new under the sun, really. People aren’t terribly interested in persecuting their fellow men unless you otherize them first.

Doktor Zymm

Was that thing I saw yesterday about having a UFC fight on the White House lawn next year for the 250th real or a fever dream parody?

Jimbo

No, that’s actually happening.

It’s actually a step up in terms of professionalism in that workplace.

Now hold on. This isn’t completely unrocking. We now have a paper trail on who needs deprogrammed or sent to Hard Labor under a migrant overlord.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, but I feel like that’s an excellent way to end up choking to death with a hunk of lips and assholes stuck in your throat.

The inventor of the heat index has died.
He was 88, but felt like 107.

That’s crazy that Michael Madsen invented the heat index.

Jeebus 56 is too young. I enjoyed that show.

Buenas… Rain delay at Wimbledon spoiling a cracking match by Clara Tauson (won a set, ahead 4-2 in the 2nd), over Rybakina. Tauson, like Duff Dry in the Duff Bowl, wants it more.

Last night didn’t seem to be too traumatic for our pets. Two things helped, I think. First, we didn’t go outside to watch at all, so the dog didn’t perceive all the noise as necessarily anything other than noise. And the second is that they are getting old and deaf so the fireworks aren’t as noticeable.

was muted here as well, nokitties had run to the closet safe room last night

We were at a backyard BBQ yesterday where there were several dogs, all friendly. Then the fireworks started and, as I was petting some sort of Rottweiler mix, it go upset and bit me. Barely broke the skin and everything fine with some hydrogen peroxide but still, if you’re a dog owner you should probably keep your dog from biting the only lawyer at the party.
