Your “Spinning My Tires Out Of Here” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Todd Haley – GONE!
    • Speculation is he’ll be replaced by Mike Munchak, who declined a second interview with the Cardinals once this news came down.
      • How unpleasant is the Cardinals head job when guys are choosing to decline in order to stay as a coordinator?
    • If you want to see how outrage turns to catharsis, check out #FireHaley on Twitter, something I didn’t feel like including in an already lengthy “Hope Clicks” for tomorrow.
  • To answer the question about Jeremy Lane’s DUI arrest despite registering a 0.039 on the breathalyzer: his lady friend, Mary Jane.
    • Lane admitted to hitting the pipe before getting in the car.
    • Also, the cop observed:
      • weaving & unsignalled lane changes
      • driving with the hazards on
      • slurred speech & bloodshot eyes
      • “a strong odor of burnt marijuana inside the vehicle”
  • Fuck – Thursday Night Football is here to stay.
  • To lure fans back, the Jets have lowered ticket prices by an average of 11%.
    • Also, they’ve eliminated the PSL for all tickets on the mezzanine level, a savings of $2-4000.
    • They allegedly had the third-highest volume of ticket sales this year, but this Bills-Jets game indicates otherwise.

  • The Bengals are paying it forward.
    • As Bills fans donated to Andy Dalton’s charity, Bengals fans have been encouraged by local sports radio to donate to Blake Bortles’ charity as thanks for the Jags beating the Steelers.
  • Also getting pwned is Ben Roethlisberger, who this week received a gift of seven turnovers from a Jacksonville bakery.
    • Seven turnovers for the seven turnovers he committed in the two losses to the Jags this year.

RE: Unsurprised’s BAC situation

For the record, I’m reaching to into the “Old/Odd Memories bag” twice tonight. In 2011, wifey and I were living in Charlottesville, VA, when we were working for UVa. I had a Friday night off, and decided to clean and get wasted, since she worked an overnight shift at the hospital. Around 01:00, after I’ve been drunk for a while, wifey calls me, and says she’s volunteered me to give one of coworkers a ride. I know this is a shitty idea, but, apparently, there are favors owed.
I’m not pleased about the developments, but, do it, anyway. UVa’s hospital was only two miles from our house, so I figured, okay, no big deal. There and back, easy.

WRONG

Co-worker lived ten miles in the opposite direction. I get this person home without a problem, thank God. HOWEVAH, on the return drive home, there is now a DUI checkpoint. Of course there is. Knowing I’m boned, and with no other option, I get in line. When it’s my turn, I blow a .07. The officer looks at me, and says, “Son, you’re luckier than you know. Go home, right fucking now.”

“Sir, that’s exactly where I’m going.”

Got home without incident. NEVER DO THIS.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I hate those checkpoints even sober. I hit one many many years ago when almost home while driving from PA to NC. Hadn’t had a drop to drink, but also hadn’t slept in a while. Cop gave me a hard time about it.

WOULD YOU RATHER I WAS WELL RESTED AND DRUNK????

He actually said yes.

Unsurprised

I know people who died because they fell asleep while driving. You really shouldn’t drive while tired. I’ve done it. It was stupid. Anyway, don’t do that.

To answer the question about Jeremy Lane’s DUI arrest despite registering a 0.039 on the breathalyzer: his lady friend, Mary Jane.

Also, the BAC limit simply creates a legal presumption of intoxication. There are people who’ve blown 0.00 and still been arrested for DWI/DUI.

Unsurprised

Oh, gee. I wonder what else gave the police reasonable suspicion to pull him over.

Lady BFC and I have been slowly working on a 1000 piece puzzle.

Do not recommend.

WCS

Back in 1994 or so, my family was visiting our mom’s cousins in Detroit. The four of them (my mom, dad, mom’s cousin, and her husband) decided to do a 5000 piece puzzle. They got it together in about three or four days. Once they were victorious, my old man shouted out, “Let’s throw Nicky* in the fire!” This idea wasn’t immediately shot down.

*Nicky was my mom’s cousin’s incredibly awful toy poodle that nobody liked, who had a wonderful habit of running through the house, diarrhea running out of ass; that dog was horrible

Dunno why, but anything where the feet/legs are separate I just never could master. Same with water skiing. One slalom ski with both feet, fine. But pairs? Nope

On one hand, this would be funnier. On the other, having seen that video of the anchorman shooting his former coworkers, they were so consumed by the task of being on camera that they did not even see him pointing a gun at them until they were shot.

Unsurprised

I have to believe that the only reason they have people do remotes during heavy weather specifically hoping for footage like this or getting swept away by wind or getting shot in the face by a disgruntled ex-repor— Oh, scratch that last one.

Not the type of plowing I’m used to seeing around here. But still quite good.

...

So last night I went to a community meeting involving the long delayed second phase of a train station reconstruction project that I care about because I use the station, Let me tell you, these meetings bring out some interesting folks.

First comment complains about how the completed part of the station is a haven for “thugs” who do horrible things like smoke pot in the waiting area.

Second comment is from a dude who has to escort women off the platform since, you know, those “thugs” are so threatening. Then I get a question about making it so the entire platform is visible from street level because a woman heard someone getting the shit kicked out of them on the platform because I guess seeing someone from 100 feet away is the key to ensure we bring them to justice.

And then there was the guy complaining about the ADA-compliant ramps being too steep and he would know because even though he’s 65 now, he used to be an athlete and even though now he’s aging and fat and couldn’t push his elderly mother up the ramp without almost losing control. I, a skinny fucking non-athlete pushed an adult male in a wheelchair up ramps steeper than this without problem so I wanted to turn and tell the guy he just needs to admit he’s weak and stop pretending it’s an engineering problem.

Never go to community meetings.

WCS

The community meetings in Parks & Rec weren’t fiction, they were documentaries.

ballsofsteelandfury

I have to go to those for work and I tell ya, it’s really hard to do your speech without being distracted by the hot single mom in the crowd.

There is always one.

...

Can confirm. there was a quite attractive wife in the crowd worried about vibrations from the passing trains.

Mr. Ayo

“Settle down, toots. We’re not taking your dryer away”

Viva La Tabula Raza

1″ rise to 12″ run. A tape measure will shut that guy up, unless, of course, it wasn’t built to code.

...

He said he was aware of the ADA code but still thought it was shit. He just needs to admit he’s grown weak with age.

I considered piping up with my tale of pushing someone in a wheelchair up steeper ramps without a problem–or that my dad who is also in his 60’s–also did so without a problem but I wasn’t in full asshole mode.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Am I the only one who wants to see a runaway wheelchair on the too steep ramps? Yes?
OK, I’ll defer then.

...

It’s funny, but the same guy made a joke about it being easy to go down because you just let ’em roll. From experience, I can tell you that’s a bad idea.

I kinda wanted to chime in about how I pushed an adult male in a wheelchair up some of the steeper slopes of San Francisco without losing control, but I wasn’t going to Dick Level: Ultra.

theeWeeBabySeamus

My ex was in a chair for a while towards the end.
It’s not difficult to keep control. Sounds like this guy just wanted to whine about something.

...

Exactly.

Unsurprised

And we come around full circle to how these public meetings attract the worst or craziest people in the world.

Unsurprised

Never go to any public meetings. The most mind-numbing one I ever attended was a statewide Democratic platform committee meeting in 2004. Watching a bunch of craven Democratic assholes opposing the dozen or so variations of “Impeach Bush and his Cabinet” made me want to kill myself even more than the kooks, though.

Little Brothers are much less hassle than cats. And you only have to keep the kids alive for a couple of hours once a week. Or you can just meet them at school over lunch and then the keeping them alive part is the school’s problem.

JSD Fan Fic….

Pats tank. In the uproar, Bellijerk leaves New England. Jimmy Haslam is indicted, convicted, raped and murdered in federal prison in shocking speed. New owner quietly convinces Bellijerk to come back to Cleveland.

In a shocking turn of events, the Browns trade down like crazy, ending up with almost all of the 3rd, forth, and fifth round draft picks. They do not select a QB. The sports media has a collective seizure.

First season, they go 7-9. with using Kizer, who is showing tremendous growth but the team is still young. Second season…Browns dynasty begins. All those late draft picks start hitting like crazy. By universal degree of the city of Cleveland, all history from ’99 to the present is wiped from the history book and mentioning the previous seasons is grounds for tar and feathering.

It snowed like 2 inches this morning. I have a sports car. And both roads out of my neighborhood are steep inclines. But it’s only two inches…and it stopped snowing like around 3pm. Surely they have plowed the street…I mean I am in a fucking city.

Nope. Looks like I am walking to my goddamn physical in the morning.

WCS

One time when I was living there, it snowed about four inches. Immediately after unearthing my car, the plow came by, and reburied it. I told the guy to get my car out, since you just wasted 20 minutes of my time. The guy asks for the shovel I had, and starts to shovel the mountain of snow manually for about two minutes. Then Super Genius realizes he can just plow the snow away with his truck. “I’m just going to plow it away,” he tells me.

SMRT

JustStopDude

Here is what I don’t fucking get….why do they allow people to park in the streets during snow events?

They have it on the books that its a ticketing offense…but the never fucking bother with it. My street is filled with fucking cars from people that refused to parking in their goddamn drive ways.

This was in an apartment complex off Orange Ave. I honestly didn’t know that about street parking.

Vikings v Iggles: It’s hard picking against Philly at home, especially with them embracing the whole ‘we get no respect’ chip on their shoulder. With that said, I think I trust Keenum more than Foles. As a result, I’ll say Vikes’ vicious defense fills Foles’ holes in mostly boring 17-13 win.

Sacksonville v P*triots: With Brady supposedly having an owie, I fully expect the refs to be a little more lenient with the P*ts’ o-line holding so Timmy doesn’t get a bruise. But you know what?

IT’S NOT GOING TO MAKE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE! Aaron Colvin is getting 2 picks and that defensive line may get held, but Myles Jack is going to take Brady to pound town early and often.

FUCK THE P*TRIOTS. FUCK THE P*TRIOTS. FUCK THE P*TRIOTS!

I mean, whether or not it’s legal isn’t really relevant; if the Trump administration wants to do it, they’ll fucking do it.

Unsurprised

If it weren’t, it would be one of the millions of provably criminal reasons to impeach him. I’m guessing they have come to accept that under no circumstance will any Republican Senators will defect even if they do retake the House and impeach him.

It’s also just really bad optics to give A FOREIGN SPY AND TRAITOR unlimited power to spy on Americans. That is if the Democrats had any political intelligence. Instead, they are just lucky that Trump and his cronies are such cheap, shitty grifters that they don’t grasp the extent of the corruption and evil they already have the legal power to wield against their debtors, enemies, and any random people that annoy them. I mean, NSA spies were trading nudes from these illegal wiretaps and a pervert like Trump could exploit the fuck out of it if he had any brains.
