TGIF! This is the last reminder that our Sunday Gravy substitute chef needs to get their shit together and write a post with pictures. It’s not that hard, I’ve done it myself!

Word Count Filler Time

Did you know it’s illegal to flush or stand up peeing in Switzerland after 10pm? Me neither. Anyways, let’s talk about spiders. Or rather, “Spider” Man. Turns out he’s just as fraudulent as birds or Wyoming.

Strength: False. Ants are capable of carrying 60 times their weight. Spiders? Not much more than their own weight. WEAK.

Speed: False. They’re slow as shit as it turns out coordinating the movement of eight legs is a big ask.

Sense: False. They do have hair on their legs that let’s them know when their web has caught something, that doesn’t alert them when you’re about to smite them with a shoe or other ammo.

Web: Our spidey man shoot webs from his wrists, but that in no way is similar to actual spiders. Their webs are formed in their abdomens and the excreted as actual web like stuff. This would make any spidey man movie rated R or worse if duplicated.

Climbing: Fine. One for the spiders. Some spiders can actually cling to walls and ceilings due to what “scientists” class scopula which is just hair between their claws. To be clear, there are over 35,000 species of spiders and only a handful have this ability.

In summary, Tobey Macguire is a fraud and the Spider Man franchise is a land of contrast between actual spiders.

So the Angels are up 8-0 in the 7th (against a certain rocking dog’s Padres), but the broadcast is understandably all about Garrett Anderson’s tragic death at 53. So I’m happy and bummed and mostly bummed.

There was some article somewhere that said it was a heart attack, and that’s just stupid. He was never a roid guy or a drug guy or anything, so he should’ve lived til 90 and never seen another Angels World Series appearance.

Anyway, hi.

That is a bummer. We were watching and I was just trying to convince the kids that the Padres can’t always be rocking. (Not hard, they’ve been around). Probably just the Los Angeles broadcast of Anaheim had that though

Horatio Cornblower

The Mariners just tried to score Josh Naylor from second on a single to shallow right field and he was out by yards.

Announcer are trying to justify the decision but short of “the third base coach is drunk” there’s no excuse.

Time for robot base coaches.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But they should be reprogammed versions of the previous year’s unsold sexbots.

BC Dick

What’s an extra 38 seconds at 3rd base, really?

Horatio Cornblower

The mock draft is complete through the Steelers at 21.

Which is Ty Simpson. I expect, and likely deserve, the hail of trash I’ll have hurled at me by all the Stillers fans.

Doing the Lord’s work. Assuming Mel Kiper is God. Which I would not assume, But you be as blasphemous as you want.

Nawt hahhpennin’. Omar Cooper or the guard from Penn State. Whichever is available, and one will still be.

Oof. Dodgers play the Marlin in two weeks on Wednesday at noon and the dirt-cheapest tickets are $42 each. The cheapest set of bleacher seats – literally as far away from home plate as you could possibly be – are $63 each.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d pay $100 to be even farther away from that game.

Gumbygirl

That was one of the best things about living on the Kitsap peninsula and taking the ferry over. We never paid for parking.

Horatio Cornblower

I haven’t been to a MLB game in ages. It’s too expensive, and more than that the constant barrage of alternative entertainment is fucking beyond the pale.

I am there because I love baseball. Part of the joy of baseball is the quiet between plays. You can look around. You can discuss the game with your neighbor. I do not need, or want, to hear music blaring between every play or at-bat. Fuck off with that nonsense. If I have to spend hundreds of dollars to go to a game, (ticket, parking, obligatory sausage ‘n peppers, 2 beers), I would like to at least watch the fucking game in some semblance of peace.

Sharkbait

We took the kids to Fenway a couple weeks ago. It was fun, but also fuck ass pricey. We’re thinking a train trip to Portland for a Sea Dogs game is the better move in the future.

Senor Weaselo

I’m going to Hartford in August for a dice baseball meetup. So if you go and there’s a bunch of guys in right field saying “card plays” that’s us!

Sharkbait

Willingly going to Hartford is a choice. But, the only times I’ve ever gone have been for Wolfpack games. So sporting events seems to be the exception to the rule of “avoid Hartford”

Senor Weaselo

I walked from U. Hartord to the train station because I missed the shuttle from the college. I did not tell my friend until after I got to the train station, where she was distraught.

In hindsight this was a stupid-ass decision on my part.

Horatio Cornblower

Worcester Woosox.

Daughter’s boyfriend has connections to a suite for certain games. I suspect I’ll be going to a few games up there. Bonus, Armsby Abbey within spitting distance.

Sharkbait

Counterpoint: Bissell Brothers is walking distance from the train station in Portland. I think the prudent move is to test both breweries and baseball stadiums, to see which one is better. For science.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We used to go to Dodgers weekday day games (there are four or five every season) and pay like $15 for decent enough seats. I suppose this is the price you pay when the team spends enough money TO BEAT THE EVIL EMPIRE YANKEES IN JUST FIVE GAMES.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

(yes I know the Dodgers are the First Order to the Yankees’ Palpatine Empire).

Doing a League re-watch. I completely forgot the actor playing Kevin’s fake 9/11 story. I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything since

one of the duplass brothers right? still mean to watch the Jason Mantzoukas season of task master som eday

Sharkbait

Steven Rannazzizi (I had to look it up). But yes, watch Jason’s season of Taskmaster. Or all of them really.

Bogdanski

I saw an ad for him a few years ago where he was doing a show at San Diego’s 7th ranked out of 7 comedy clubs and nothing since then. I saw his stuff from before he screwed himself and it wasn’t great anyways.
I just don’t get why these people have to lie about generational changing events where they’ll eventually be found out. We all had a great talk about it last week when I was on Artemis II

Horatio Cornblower

Pretty sure you won’t see him in anything new. Talk about flying a jet plane into the tower that is your career.

Has anyone here read anything by Nathan Lowell? He’s got a pretty decent following, it seems, but I tried to read the first book of the SC Marva Collins series and I have never been so bored by anything in my life. It made Henry James look like Dan Brown. Reading a single page was like taking a dozen Ambien at once.

There is a grocery store in San Jose that describes itself as ‘The Deli of 1000 Salami’

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If I wanted to be around 1000 salami in a single place I’d just go to a Turning Point USA event in a venue that seats 1004.

Whoa whoa whoa…

You’re implying they’d have 1000 people there. Or 100.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

To be fair, it’s hard to get an exact count of the attendees at those things because the number sometimes goes up or down by one during the event itself.

Charcuterie heaven?

There’s something about #7 that really does it for me this week.

Next DFO meetup I’m treating everyone to shitty coffee and donuts from Dunkin

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh do you have an AmEx credit now too?

Doktor Zymm

I only remember to redeem it every other month or so and I still have $70

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, it accumulates? I thought we have to use it every month!

Doktor Zymm

It works for a $7 gift card

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You genius!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also worth noting that you can just add digital cash to the app.

Doktor Zymm

That’s what I meant by gift card since my brain is apparently too old fashioned to learn new fangled words in this context

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m so glad you told me about this, it has made my night.

Gumbygirl

I never remember to use those rewards.

When is this happening? Vegas NFL again?

Doktor Zymm

I don’t think we’ve discussed anything yet, but Vegas was fun with y’all

Sharkbait

The Massachusetts special. I know it well.

Doktor Zymm

When I was in college the rumoUr was that there were exactly 666 Dunkin donuts in the Boston city limits

Horatio Cornblower

I can throw a rock from my house and hit about 7 DD outlets.

And I live in the sticks.

It’s a common law among New England states that there needs to be a Dunks within 1000 yards of another Dunks.

Also DFO meetup. Down for it. Let’s make it happen.

That looks mighty gently used

Redshirt

Boldly going where many men have gone before.

LemonJello

Is it gently used?

Horatio Cornblower

So I took the first two weeks in July off and Mrs. Horatio and I are going to head back to the Great White North again, hitting Montreal, (we are literally going to spend two days there just hoping that the breakfast place we loved is still there so we can get their hot chocolate and yes, I fully realize we are idiots but you do not understand how good it was), but we would like to expand our range to…Kay-bec? Qwee-bec? Qua-BEC? anyway, that other city to the north of Montreal that, like Hartford, got stabbed in the anus by anus-stabbing Gary Bettman.

Any tips for fun in CWA-beck?

LemonJello

Who’s watching Lowratio? Or do you just set him loose in the woods while you’re gone?

Horatio Cornblower

Oh he fits in an overnight bag.

scotchnaut

Ya gotta do a walkthrough of the Old City for sure. And the history buff in you has to visit The Plains of Abraham. (take a look at the cliff face that soldiers scaled in the dead of night back in the 1700’s-sheer insanity)

Horatio Cornblower

Plains of Abraham is absolutely on the list.

I expect Mrs. Horatio to take the opportunity to do obscene things to the credit card while I geek out over a 200+ year old battlefield.

Doktor Zymm

I think it was easier to get people to do stuff like that back in the day since death by falling off a cliff in battle was better than the likely alternatives such as being tortured to death by the Church or getting explosive dysentery

I just love the current trend of NFL teams admitting their mistakes and going back to previous jerseys that worked.

WCS

I wholly expect the Rams to give the Bungles or Bills eleventy billion picks over the next three seasons in exchange for Burrow or Allen whenever Stafford retires.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Stafford deal got them a Lombardi trophy, it was worth every penny.

I’m just throwing small amounts here and there and only on things like scores. Like basketball, the player prop bets are too erratic.

WCS

UFL Friday night, Columbus Aviators (0-3) hosting the Dallas Renegades (3-0).
Dallas currently leading 7-0, 8:02 in the 1st. Aviators have the ball just past the 50-yard line of Dallas. UFL teams cannot punt after crossing midfield into opponent territory, AND field goals of 60+ are worth four points.

I know yinz are absolutely ENTRALLED by this!

A pair of livestreams for yinz. You can watch a stranger talk about a game you can’t see and have zero interest in!

Ah, yes. Columbus. Where the Wright Brothers presumably drove through from their home of Dayton on their way to Kitty Hawk to test their prototype airplane.

I’m assuming the Columbus US 40 Easts was taken?

Doktor Zymm

Maybe they manufactured aviator sunglasses in Columbus?

Hell, I can squat more than my weight and I only have TWO legs, I can only imagine what I would be able to lift with 6 more legs to distribute the weight!

Not even Anna Kendrick could steal my heart from #1.

I’m not a big fan of plastic surgery or other artificial enhancements, but Anna Kendrick would benefit from a touch of upper lip filler. Her thin lips make her look bitchy.
