Your “Oops, What Day is It?” Monday Night Open Thread

Good evening, and I regret to inform you that I let a catch up lunch with friends turn into a 2 martini lunch followed by an outing to the brewery for several more beers.  Actually, I don’t regret any of that, it just meant that I absolutely lost track of time and whole ass days.  When I woke up this morning, my plan was to crank out another morality post after lunch, so is drinking through that irony?

I’ll blame it (not just on the drinking but also) on the fact I drove to Ohio and back this weekend, which while generally frowned upon by the DFO clubhouse was a productive though exhausting sportsball trip.  More to come on that if I ever get my shit together and finish my BOTGs on the USAFL.

 

In the meantime, ummmmm, what do we have?  This weekend was Otakon in DC, and yes, I had to Google that to get the name right. I did, however, definitely notice the massive surge in cosplay around town, especially on the metro. Some local news coverage with pics here, but damn, those nerds put a lot of effort into their outfits, and not necessarily by covering a lot of themselves, especially the womenfolk. As they would say in Letterkenny, a bit young….

Anyway, let’s do a quick round up of what’s on the telly, and we can throw open the comment section to talk about how by the next time I fuck up an open thread post, NFL like substances will be back on the airwaves!


Sports on TV Tonight–

MLB:

Giants at Rangers, 7:05PM DFO Time on ESPN
Lots of other stuff on YES, MLB.tv, etc

We’re way over the minimum word count now, so….

I got a dutch oven today so I can do YR’s Chicken and 40 Cloves. Easily my most repeated SG joint.

I wish I could get on Facebook marketplace without a Facebook account. I hear its the place for buying this kind of stuff here in Hawaii.

I’m watching the High School Reunion episode of Sunny. I’ve not seen it in years but I remember it being good so I’m looking forward to it. Especially after Monsters and Minions sucked so hard yesterday.

Draft Idea: Cosplay outfit you’d dress your significant other up in. Must be an actual recognizable *character*. Slave Leia is the obvious #1 pick, unless a lady is making said pick, in which case it’s obviously Zardoz.

That’s a great idea and Horatio should run that next Monday!

2Pack

Velma Dinky will always be my number 1 pick. But filling 2-6 would be a lot of fun.

2Pack

Idk about you, but boob implants and tan lines on 19th century debutant ladies is a historical inaccuracy that bothers me in films.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yes, it hot and bothers me as well.

Historical Bush should be a FF team name

The Yankees have hit 5 HRs tonight.

They trail the Cardinals, who have also hit 5 HRs, 13-7.

I spent the entire afternoon sewing a pair of canopies for my patio and it’s 7:15 and I’m not even halfway done with the FIRST one.

I was doing trial prep today and every now and then BFC would check something in on Untappd and I would get a notice and I would grit my teeth and mutter “that fucking guy”

Current mood of the Cincinnati Reds fanbase is fluctuating between nihilistic apathy and this:

I’ve watched this like four times and am still laughing.

@BFC moved my garbage over to trash. Sourry.

ballsofsteelandfury

Also, wasn’t Otaku originally a derogatory term?

Or did they take it back like in Clerks 2?

ballsofsteelandfury

I truly do not understand cosplay as a thing.

Role playing during sex with matching costumes for fun? Sure! Who hasn’t dressed up as Little Bo Peep a couple of dozen times?

Spending the whole day in costume acting like a character for fun and without getting paid?

Don’t get it.

Clutches pearls given by the cosplayers that smell kind of funny.

In fairness, you also judge Freakazoid in WASP, despite his love for Norwegian HULA GIRLS!
