Notes and Comments

I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised at Geelong’s big victory over the reigning champs in Brisbane. I never put much stock on championship game rematches, but it was still nice to win

The biggest surprise this week, however, was Melbourne beating Hawthorn handily. I talk a lot of shit about the Demons, but that win was impressive. Maybe they’re actually good?

Somehow, some way, Carlton beat Western. The new coach bump is real. It will be interesting to see how long that lasts.

This has to be rock bottom for GWS. They lost to the West Coast Eagles and did not look good. It is officially desperation time in Greater Western Sydney.

Finally, Fremantle is tied at the top of the ladder with Sydney at 9-1. They are the real deal and look set to take over sole possession of first should the Cats back up their win over Brisbane with an upset of the Swans.

Game Time Decision and I both had the top scores this week. Spam stays in first with Yeah Right in second and Sharky in third. Don’t forget to put the tips in!

If you are a member of an AFL club or you got a Watch AFL membership, you should be able to watch every AFL and AFLW game, including replays. Game times vary between Australian afternoon and evening, which actually makes it easier for us in North America to watch as the games can be seeing in the evenings on Pacific Time and early mornings on Eastern time.

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the AFL and AFLW games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website. But I do recommend that you join a club. It’s fun and they send you free shit.

See you next week!

Side Note: I’ve been working for close to 32 years and I have never, ever met an HR “professional” who is worth a bleeding shit. I have to think half of their undergraduate work is learning how to spew bullshit wrapped in cringy buzz words while learning how to play Angry Birds at work without getting caught.

My youngest brought a buddy over this past weekend

Me: “How’s work going.?”

Kid: “I’m suspended for 2 weeks.”

Me: “Oh.”

Kid: “I called a guy a f*g.”

Wife: “Uh, you really shouldn’t be doing that.”

Kid: “Why not? He is a f*g.”

Europa (and the Pirate Twins) final today. If Villa wins, that means an extra Premier League spot in next year’s Shempions League (since Villa’s already in). Freiburg finished 7th in the Bundesliga, so they’ll have to earn their spot by winning today. Dunno if that affects anyone’s rooting interest. Potential good news for Bournemouth or Brighton I guess. Anyway, here’s Thomas Dolby:

After what Bournemouth did for my cardiac health (by locking down the title for Arsenal) I am rooting for them to sneak into Champions League. They need a Villa win here plus some other stuff but nothing unthinkable.

This pre-match show is going to give me a seizure.

The idea that I won’t be able to go surfing today because I have to do chores preparing for my mother-in-law’s return to living with us makes me want to scream.

SonOfSpam

Is the living situation gonna be forever or just for a while? Either way, you have my sympathy. And my sword.

/jots note to pick up more swords at Costco

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Forever. And I could certainly do worse, I’m just a spoiled brat.

SonOfSpam

Forget the “could do worse” thing, it’s still a really big deal for you to be okay with this. Get yourself a snack and a beer and know that you’re a good egg.

Harsh brah.

On the subject, the forward line is badly missing Jessie Hogan, but the real problem was in the ruck. Madden and Aleer are out with injuries, Briggs has been neutralized by the rules changes, and he got dinged up in the first half of this match, leading to him getting dominated (not in the good way) in this match. With Taylor out, the defense isn’t lock down anymore and the effort wasn’t there to overcome all those problems. At this point, one of the guys in the GWS subreddit calculated that 40% of the salary list is injured right now. Not sure how any team is supposed to win like that, but I would have liked to see a little more fight anyway. Harvey Thomas was the highlight but to have a chance, everyone needs to be at his effort level.

THESE GWS GIANTS I CALL THEM THAT 80’S SITCOM “VALERIE” AFTER THEY KILLED OFF THE TITLE CHARACTER DUE TO A SALARY DISPUTE BECAUSE THEY ARE MISSING A HOGAN.

Unrelated, found a bilingual funny

An older Latina walks into a department store. She signals to a clerk and asks

“¿Dónde están los calcetines?”

The clerk doesn’t speak Spanish but tries to help her anyways. He holds up a T-shirt saying “Is this what you need?”

She shakes her head side to side, frowning.

Next he holds up a pair of pants, and she shakes her head again.

After 5 or 6 attempts, he gets to a pair of socks and holds them up to her with an exasperated look.

The woman smiles and says:

“¡Eso sí que es!”

The clerk gets grumpy and says:

“If you knew how to spell it, why didn’t you start with that?!”

Lol that brings me back to high school Spanish class

The humor here, for those of you that don’t speak Spanish, is that her reply in Spanish phonically sounds like she’s spelling S-O-C-K-S (socks) in English, when in fact all along she has been asking the clerk if he knows where she can get an abortion.

Hearing “full stop” after somebodies remarks is getting just as irritating to me as listening to some Karen describe absolutely everything as “amazing”…

“Thank you So Much. This looks De-licious.”

His pubes are right there, stuck to his thumb and your plate at the same time.

Things that bother me: ‘As per usual’. Either as or per, not both. And per makes you sound completely pedantic and annoying, use as. ‘A tad bit’. A tad IS a bit, damn your redundant hide!
