Your Saturday Morning Hippo Substitute Open Thread

FB_IMG_1767545050644

Somewhere in California….

The old man grumbled. He said to himself, “Wait. Was I supposed to do something tomorrow?”

He muttered to himself, “Aww, shit! I think I promised to fill in on Saturday mornings now that Hippo is done with JV football and now that he apparently has decided he doesn’t care about the Premier League.”

He looked up the day’s soccer calendar. It was full of games yet none of them actually involved Premier League teams. That’s not quite true, actually. The FA Cup would be on. However, no one gave a shit about the FA Cup. Not even Hippo.

The old man reflected that Hippo might be close to a breakthrough. It would be either a positive one or a negative one. On the bright side, the Broncos might win the Super Bowl and he might decide to ask out that girl he mentioned in one of the posts. On the not-so-bright side, the Steelers might win the Super Bowl, and he might take so many pills, he may never be heard from again.

A 50/50 proposition, I’d say…

Choose your own adventure in the comments until the first Wild Card game begins. You may ask, why is this getting published in the middle of the night? Because the scheduler is borked and I want to sleep in.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

King Hippo

Senor Weaselo

Is that before or after the ending of Dialogues of the Carmelites?

/Oh, that one got DARK.

Dave has a fun & insightful write up of the playoff teams. Good stuff.

yeah right

Reached a big milestone today.

In January of 2001, a very large and extremely unhealthy yeah right tipped the scales at 339 pounds.

I had just come off a months long bout with bronchitis and had recently had my 2nd knee surgery.

I put on my walking shoes and stepped out the door to fucking do something about it.

Twenty five years and 125 pounds later I’m a lean, mean world traveling machine and I’m still walking.

I feel so damn good I think I’ll grab a beer.

It was fucking gorgeous out there today.

Well done Sir.

He was just asking if they wanted some hot ice!

I forgot Spencer Martin got signed by the Rangers as their third-string (backup with Igor out), notably because he’s in and not Dylan “M1” Garand.

There’s a bit of a running gag in our house-Mrs. Scotchy can never get Alexa to listen to her. Whether it’s to play music, turn up/down said music or to change listening preferences. With the three males in the house it’s no issue at all, she has to request at least twice and usually more often than that. So of course us guys have created this scenario whereby we tell Alexa that the Mrs has been shitting on her behind her back.

Mrs: “Alexa, turn on music….ALEXA!”

Me: “I wouldn’t listen to her either. Did you hear what she said about you last Wednesday? Women should be more supportive of each other.”

Oldest: “Typical passive-aggro behavior by mom.”

/etc., etc.

SonOfSpam

Same thing here. It’s quite funny to hear Mrs get unhinged at the unlistening she-bot.

I hear Elon Musk is working on a Grok-based one that will openly refuse your instructions with the response “I’m not taking instructions from a [whatever ethnic impurity sullies your genetics] mongrel.” Unless you are pureblood Aryan, of course.

Ah. Well then. Carry on.

Hello, but it’s not my ragtime. That’s next week.

Luke Louks looks like a beak dealer

Beak? Is that what the kids call cocaine these days?

King Hippo

the Brits say it

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Brits say a lot of things. They also steal sugar.

Hippo if the Steelers make the Super Bowl : “I will take a nap all Sunday since the NFL decided to cancel the Super Bowl”

King Hippo

110%. Won’t even track the score.

Senor Weaselo

I would love to see a Hippo ranking of Teh Most #BastardMen!

King Hippo

ooooooh, will think

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If that happens and we don’t get at least one decent “Tales from the Meteor” story out of it my heart will be completely broken.

King Hippo

How much does Hippo (rightly) hate hisself? I actively looked through the cable channel guide to find Wolven Sort/Semenholes hoopsball at noon.

120 Minutes Playlist Project Update: the version played on 120 Minutes was a bit different, but in honor of today’s FA Cup action here’s the 2004 updated FÚTBOL version.

King Hippo

Los Gatos Negros deserved to win that in the 90. Fair play.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Amazing. What’s the NFL equivalent of this? Washington & Lee beating the Philadelphia Eagles?

King Hippo

would be like Grambling beating LSU. In Death Valley, at night.

Senor Weaselo

At least same tier and not some of the other ones from today’s acción!

Senor Weaselo
King Hippo

now THAT is a proper #DeepCut!

Suzuki Book 2 classic for the teaching day!

Doktor Zymm

I played that!

BeefReeferLives

Some nice flugelhorn action! Thanks!!

No surprise to me that the Maccliavellians won.

King Hippo

Adam Aznou FINALLY gets onto the pitch for his Everton debut, wins a penalty immediately.

Is it alright that I’ve been steadily taking down a brand new box of cookies ‘n cream (WITH PROTEIN!) Cheerios all night? It’s not like it was a trash bag of Cheetohs. Or meth.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is “with protein” going to be the new “gluten-free”? I remember seeing that Pop-Tarts were jumping on that bandwagon.

There’s only one I look for.

Doktor Zymm

I hope they don’t start making water with fiber and protein; At least it was naturally gluten free

Dude you didn’t get the word? There’s a new food pyramid out.

That doesn’t seem like something that RFK Jr. would put out. Where’s the colloidal silver and whale cerebro-spinal fluid?

Gatoraids

roadkill milk

LemonJello

Where’s the Soylent Green?

Looks like a solid crowd of six, maybe even seven thousand wankers.

Sleep in my friend and have no remorse over it.

I get to start my day clearing a clogged drain. Plenty of metaphors there.
