Only a few days left until we get to our “Year of Hindsight”.
2020.
Get it?
OH COME ON THAT WAS CLEVER OF ME!!!!!!!
(ok fine…never mind)
Anywhoooooo….
Thank youse to BrewChuggingDonnie and Señor Weaselo for sitting in for me the past two Fridays. The timing was good. Serendipity is a good thing sometimes.
But not always….
But for those of you who do not own a calendar, this is also your last Sexy Friday of the year. Last of the decade, even. So let’s make it a good one.
It’s a free for all this week. No themes. Just perrty girls bein’ perrty.
Beef Jerky Time!!!
Sweet & Hot.
Just like me.
(there’s plenty, you know)

Sports To Get You Started Over 2Nite
NCAA FB Bowling
Already concluded by the time you read this, but not at the time of writing…
- Military Bowl – U*NC vs Temple – 12:00pmEST – TV: ESPN (U*NC -6.5, -225)
I’m just going to go ahead a presume Temple fucks this one up. That’s just how my life goes lately. I hate Mack Brown.
And you know you’re in a prestigious bowl when it kicks off at noon on a random Friday between Christmas and New Years.
What bowl is NC State in this year, you ask? NO YOU SHUT UP!!!!!
/runs away crying
- Pinstripe Bowl – Wake Forest vs Michigan State – 3:20pmEST – TV: ESPN (Sparty -3.5, -180)
Before the line shifted late last night I got Wake +4.5 for a few sawbucks. Which I’ll probably regret. Wake Forest is like the Charlie Brown of the ACC Atlantic. They screw shit up for others but they rarely get over the hump.
Anywhooooo….
Bowl games still coming your way this evening:
- Tejas Bowl – (25)Okie State vs aTm – 6:45pmEST – TV:ESPN (Aggies -4.5, -185)
Do not touch that game.
But this one might be worth touching…
- Holiday Bowl – (22)USC vs (16)Iowa – 8:00pmEST – TV: FS1 (Hawkeyes -2.5, -180)
I’m considering the USC ML if it moves a little more. Currently +120. up from +112 earlier. Still not enough margin there to take the risk. If it hits 135 before kickoff, I’m in.
- Cheez-It Bowl – Air Force vs Wazzou – 10:15pmEST – TV: ESPN (AF -2.5, -135)
This should be called the “Who gives a damn Bowl” And Cheez-It is sponsoring a fucking bowl game now? What’s next year? The Cheetos Invitational?
But, I mean seriously. The line is odd, both teams suck.
I will not touch this one.
OK, so what else we got?
NBA
Already over before this goes up:
- Cleveland @ Boston – 4:00pmEST – NBATVÂ (maybe you get a re-run later though)
Still on tap…
- Philly @ Orlando – 7:00pmEST – NBATV
- Phoenix @ Golden State – 10:30pm – NBATV
NHL
Holy crap there’s actually a game on nationally in the lower 48 on a Friday.
/sees it’s Minnesota @ ColorAdo
Gary Bettman, why do you tease me so?
- Minnesota @ ColorAdo – 8:00pmEST – TV: NBCSN
(Caps and Columbus better damn well be on locally or Imma go have a talk with Bettman)
NCAA BB
They seem to be trying to be polite to the crappy bowl game coverage. Plus they’re probably not finished with their final exams yet. Allegedly.
None on real TV I can find.
However if you want to watch Coppin State @ Mt. Saint Mary’s or UMass-Lowell @ Loyola-Maryland, you could probably find them online. Both tip off at 7pmEST.
But I wouldn’t recommend it. I wouldn’t recommend this song either, but YouTube, being the dicks they are, put it up on my Autoplay.
Better than “Jessie’s Girl” I guess, but only barely.
Yes, they popped “Jessie’s Girl” onto my YouTube Autoplay a few days ago.
STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!!!!

No Theme
Whatever I stumble upon? It goes up.

Enjoy…
OK, enough of that. My pants just got tighter.
And the ball’s about to drop in a few days.
No, I don’t mean….DAMMIT!!!!!!
At least the plumbing still works though. AMIRITE BOYS????
Bring it on 2020. You ain’t killt me yet. Give it your best shot.
(LOL)
Happy New Year you sick sumbitches.

Don’t you dare laugh. It’s a good song.
Love ya’s.

I don’t want to go to bed yet. Is there a Mongolian Barbeque Bowl from Ulan Battoooooooor being televised tonight?
If you have ESPN+, there’s live Australian soccer on right now…
Does anyone have intel on New Hampshire?
Asking for an old ass retiree.
You live in LA. No way you make it through a New Hampshire winter.
I’ve got a Libertarian Gun Nut Cousin who lives up there in NH, he moved there from DFW where he previously was an IT guy for American Airlines (and maybe still is, I’m sure he can do his shit remotely, although I don’t pay that much attention). I guess taxes are low and you can get cheap fireworks, but The Old Man of the Mountain fell off their license plate a few years back and it’s probably fucked compared to SoCal, which I understand is your current locale. Unless you like some cold ass weather, despite the Chinese Global Warming Hoax, I’d say Stay Where You Are. At least you can surf into the apocalyptic tsunami, like them dudes in Lucifer’s Hammer. And fuck it, Southern California? Fuck the rest of the USA,
Tina Fey. I like smart ass. I kinda wish she was a J.A.P., to blend in with my personal romantic history, but evidently her heritage is more Mediterranean/Christian. That’s cool with me. Still, love a dark-bushed Mediterranean girl.
Dark-bushed Mediterranean Girl is opening up for New Order at the Roxy next week.
Very depressed that I am immobilized at the moment.
I managed to weasel out of managing the Air Force Academy Chapel restoration project.
https://gazette.com/news/air-force-academy-awards-contract-to-renovate-cadet-chapel-project/article_ff09469e-b562-11e9-84c4-138bcd3be9a3.html
This project is going to be 5 years over schedule and $100M over budget before it is all said and done.
I really dodged a bullet. Sorry for my cube-mate, though. He’s fucked.
I hope a cyclone touches down at this game.
Just learned the Ice Rams have a player named Frk who scored two goals tonight.
Frk.
VANNA CAN I HAZ VOWL?

That USC loss was so enjoyable! Seriously, I haven’t enjoyed watching a game that much in a long time.
I came twice. No lie.
(fine, a lie, shut up)
WOO IOWA!
Goddamn.

I said GODDAMN!!
Was hoping I was going to get this instead, and be able to rail about what a great songwriter Hoyt Axton was, but I got derailed.

I still have this LP, bought in the late 60s or early 70s I can’t remember. My weed dealer wants that album from me so bad. I’ll probably leave it to him in my will.:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-11559452-1518486172-1247.jpeg.jpg)
One of my favoUrite songs, but have never heard this version.

Holy fucking hell.
They pick out some really awesome covers.
I’m in that midway point between drunken self discovery and awareness.
/smokes one.

LOL. Right there with you, brother.
Love you brother.
Oh fuck yes, right into my goddamn veins!

Don’t let them get in FG range Wazzou.
Nawt a catch. Sorry Wazzou.
Wow. Not just not overruled, but confirmed.
That’s a bad ruling IMHO.
Can’t believe the refs just disrespected the troops like that
Hehehehehe
My cable company has apparently renewed ‘Mad About You’ and they keep pushing ads for it and holy hell, how much plastic surgery has Helen Hunt had?
You should see her below the waist bits, there’s a real Hell n’ Hunt, if you know what I mean.
I’m sorry, I think you meant to link to this.

One of the really old time KSK Kommenters went by the name of ‘Helen Hunt And Her Magical Cunt’ and that never failed to make me laugh.
Yes, I have a law degree and have fathered children, why do you ask?
1) I didn’t realize how many good or at least above average breweries shut down here in Oregon this year.
2) This video is remarkably satisfying: https://twitter.com/718Tv/status/1210353385523810304

Apologies for the long-ass link, but this guy drank nearly 2,000 beers last year and ranked his best. I’ve had one of them, Juice Machine, (and just mailed one to BFC, which I’m sure a cross-continent trip in a cardboard box won’t affect at all), and it is indeed delicious. I do think Treehouse has better beers, but taste is subjective so YMMV.
That said, I notice that almost all of the rest of the list consists of beers with ABVs of 11% or more. To me anything much over 8% is just too much to be truly considered a beer. I find that the alcohol becomes more and more of a factor in taste. If I wanted that much booze taste I’d go get a bottle of good scotch or bourbon and have at it.
tl/dr, I need another beer.
I drink to get drunk. I should invest in hard liquor or just not drink. Not like I do much anyway
Hard liquor has less calories.
There’s your healthy living tip of the day.
Weed has none.
Well, at least not until you find the stale Cheetos in the back of the pantry.
/wipes orange dust from face sheepishly
Even though Wake screwed me, I kinda feel like I almost sort of broke even by deciding not bet on the USC/Iowa or the OkieState/aTm game.
If we wanted super sexy, we need more Mr & Mrs Tom Brady just smiling. They both have great smiles.
So had first post-op follow-up with the podiatric surgeon today. Looking at the x-rays, I’ve got a couple really gnarly staples and what look like sheet metal screws as permanent accoutrements to my bone structure. Doc pulled out about 20 staples and re-wrapped, still at least six weeks before I can put any weight on it at all. Getting down the stairs and out to my ride’s car was a bit of an adventure, as was re-entering the house. One improvement is I can now unwrap the wound and let it get wet during bathing instead of having to put this big rubber bag over my leg. Sucks overall, but at least I’m still gonna be working from home thru mid-February, which I can stand. Still home- and first-floor-bound, but HEB delivers and I’ve got a network of friends to stop at the packy for me. I do have to be clever about that, don’t want any one friend make too many booze runs too often and figure out how much I am actually pounding down and stage an intervention or some shit. Hell, there’s nothing else to do.
Look, just give us your address and tell us what you need. It’s not like any of us are going to judge you.
/Good luck though, foot injuries are a bitch. At least according to all the plaintiffs with foot injuries suing my clients.
I decided YES, I do really intend to set my alarm for the Lesser Footy quadruple-header tomorry. Dread Pirate Mike Leach will have to get by on his lonesome.
Guess that’ll do it for the Holiday Bowl; time to flip over to the Cheez-Itz BowOHMYGODWHATHASBECOMEOFMYLIFE!?!?!?!?
Get plenty of rest, you got a Horatio/Rocking Dog Derby bright and early this Sunday!
/well, 9 ain’t that early
It is for me, buddy. If I’m not working I rarely go to bed much before 2 and rarely get up before 10, 10:30.
Who am I kidding? I work from home. I do that shit when I’m working, too.
Bring back the Poinsettia Bowl!
Probably not what USC was going for there.
Darn shame.
you just HATE to see it
😀
