As your newly-crowned King of the DFO Fantasy Football leagues, champion of the Freezer Vodka League, and Benevolent Monarch of the DFO Peoples, WE pledge to you, OUR loyal subjects, to share our knowledge and update you on the goings-on in the Realm every Saturday Night in the off-season. We start the off-season tonight as there are no more Saturday NFL games and your Benevolent Monarch’s favourite team, the Steelers, have been eliminated and have apparently decided to hire Mike McCarthy. WE need a drink….

Tonight, WE present to you a list of things that Amuse US that start with the letter A (We shall go in alphabetical order going forward) and that OUR subjects should develop an interest in:

  • Apples
  • Arizona skies (per The Orb)
  • Alabama (the band)
  • Arrows (the ones with feathers)
  • Animal Style Double Doubles
  • Art chicks
  • AFL
  • Anchovies (the food)
  • Anaheim
  • Affogatos
  • Anal (of course)

And now for something completely different…

WE so proclaim:

General Sports Update

College basketball is in full swing with conference play. Place your bets on which teams are shaving points. Pro basketball also exists, but WE feel it’s an inferior sport, so WE shall not mention it.

The best sport, however, is in full swing and that is the NHL. Tonight’s most interesting games are:

  • Canadiens at BAHSTAN
  • Vichy Hartford at Ottawa
  • Stupid Sexy Lightning at Columbus
  • Period Sex at Winnipeg
  • OUR TEAM at St. Louis
  • Florida at Minnesota Should Be North Stars
  • Washington at McJesus and Pals

World Sport Update

The NFL post-season rolls on tomorrow with the Conference Championships. It will be Seattle hosting the Rams in a divisional matchup at 3:30 Pacific. The early game has Denver hosting the Pats at noon Pacific.

In Spain, Barcelona will host Real Oviedo and Atlético will host Mallorca tomorrow. Btw, has anyone seen Mallorca Files? WE dig that show. Good chemistry between the two leads, some beautiful scenery, and pretty fun stories. Seasons 1 and 2 are on BritBox. Season 3 is exclusive to Amazon Prime.

FB_IMG_1754582538687

Registration is open for the opportunity to buy tickets for the LA Olympics. Events will also take place in Oklahoma City, so OUR subjects in the middle of the country can enjoy the Olympics without getting bent over. Ticket purchase windows start in March with several rolling windows anticipated.

FMsf6wQXoAAtb58
FMsf6wQXoAAtb58

WE shall definitely attend at least one or two events, possibly more. There is a limit of 12 tickets per person unless you buy Group tickets. The minimum Group size is 50 people.

***

Other Updates

WE finished in third place in OUR first golf tournament of the year. That added some funds to the Royal Treasury. Last week, WE entered a team competition and added additional funds through a couple of team skins on Hole 7 in which your Benevolent Monarch got a Par and Net Birdie to secure the skins.

In this space, WE shall share OUR Thing Of The Week. Today’s Thing:

Soraya Beads

I am in complete shock and absolutely stunned by what just happened.

We may have a new leader for worst scenario I’ve been involved with here.

I can’t really get into it now; maybe later.

Everybody get in here with that last one!

Alligator tails are mighty tasty with a nice Creole remoulade.

I had some amazing food when I was in NOLA but didn’t come across any alligator legs. Sounds amazing and if you cook’em up in San Pedro I’ll be there (barring work and the constant weekend obligations of 9 and 11 year old sportos. I kinda would prefer if they go in either of these other directions though: motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads…

I’m keep a plate waiting just in case.

Here’s a “smash burger” that the kids are all raving about.

The trick is to smash the burger patties flat while cooking them. This is the etymology of the name “smash burger,” literally to “smash” a “burger.” Science people theorize that the smash burger originated in the fast food caravans of the Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan,

This is actually a double smash burger, which has two smashed burger patties. The word “double” is a direct reference to “two” patties (two = double).

IMG_0005

So, is a hamburger who base is a dry and tasteless slab of protein?

0
yeah right

Nah man. That’s carbs as the base.

Then you’ve got the smashed thing inside.

Mr. Ayo

This doesn’t appear to be “Animal Style” as directed by our King.

1
Doktor Zymm

Is there any difference between a smashburger and just using a thinner regular patty?

0
Bogdanski

Hot hot burner and the Maillard reaction

4
yeah right

This is the right answer.

1
Doktor Zymm

That’s nothing to do with the smashing though, seems like they should be called crispburgers or Maillardburgers or something

0
Bogdanski

You’re absoloutely right, the “smashing” of a ball of meat isn’t necessary, just a downward force on the patty at the right time and temp. No real “smashing” involved, probably just a marketing thing. But when I did two thin patties side by side, the “pressing” of the one made the difference. I know that’s just anecdata but that’s all I got

My daughter just sent me this:

Her Neutral Milk Hotel vinyl: “When yoooouuuuu were young you were the King of carrot flooooowers” (2 minutes of fucked up accordion and flute sounds)

Me: (sitting on her mattress on the floor, the most desperate for pussy I have ever been) “No, yeah, that sounds pretty good”

That’s so funny, I actually did once tell a girl that I really enjoyed Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in an effort to get into her pants.

I wasn’t lying though. I genuinely do like that album.

The Australian Open is delayed while they deal with a fan who has apparently had a medical event due to sitting outside when it’s 183 F.

Reminds of the time my son’s LL team was playing for the District Championship. We played double-elimination, and we went to the title game able to lose one game. Other team had to beat us twice. They got the first game, (there was some strategy involved that is incredibly boring and has no relevance to the story, so we’ll skip it), but that game went so long we had to finish it the next day, then go right into the second game.

It was a brutally hot day, and for the end of the first game we had the dugout with the Sun right on us. Game ends, other teams wins the coin flip and decides they want to bat first, (which is not a good decision, but whatever), so we got our choice of dugout. I, as the manager, said “I want the one with the shade” so we switched.

As we’re walking over one of the younger brothers of the kids on the other team says, with a lisp “Pussys. Can’t take the heat?”

I laughed my ass off. It was perfectly timed and so fucking funny.

Then we beat their bitch asses and won the whole thing.

It’s only 75° there. I’m not sure what kind of emergency it is but it doesn’t seem like it would be heat-related. Maybe a heart attack or stroke or something.

0
Horatio Cornblower

I just assumed heat related since they kept cutting to the players hiding in the shade. Since it’s Australia any one of a number of things could have bitten her, too.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yesterday it would have made sense – they hit a high of 102°. But today is much cooler.

It’s 7 degrees here. 102 sounds pretty good

We’re as set for the storm as we’re going to be at Chez Cornblower. 2 full gallons of milk. Cocoa powder. A large amount of firewood in the house, including kindling. The battery jump pack fully charged up. 40 lbs of deer corn and 40 lbs of bird seed scattered for tonight, more bags set aside for after the snow stops. Leftover pizza secured in the fridge. Four bottles of bourbon in various stages of consumption. Several beers in the fridge. New pack of chips. Cat is confirmed inside. Bruins and Canadiens on TV. A couple of beers less in the fridge. All systems go!

ballsofsteelandfury

Forgive the warm weather question: what’s the bird seed and deer corn for?

0
scotchnaut

During extreme weather on the East Coast winged creatures and cloved animals can knock down small structures if they aren’t offered a hearty meal. You weren’t taught this in grade school? I’m dumbfounded.

2
Horatio Cornblower

This. A) I’m a very sensitive soul and don’t want the birds and deer to starve to death in subfreezing weather and B) Mrs. Horatio is a very violent soul and really does not want the deer getting into our arbor vitae again.

So I throw a bunch of corn in the neighbors field when the winter gets too rough and the deer eat there instead of coming into my yard and taking out the landscaping.

Then, in the fall, the neighbor shoots the deer and we all get venison.

For the birds and the deer. You’re one of those speshul monarchs, aren’t you?

I call bullshit. He has enough problems feeding a sex dwarf. No way he takes care of birds and deer.

I’m guessing it’s an alternative to salting the driveway.

I realize he has Applebee’s money, but wouldn’t it be cheaper to just use…salt?

3
Horatio Cornblower

Currently supporting an estimated 4 deer, one of them what looked to be a 6-point buck earlier.

The birds I just started feeding because I noticed them trying to eat the deer corn today and it’s too cold for the cat to go out and stalk the birds. If it were warmer I’d just be baiting the poor bastards for the cat.
