What up all? As always, I hope you’re as well as can be considering all the shit going on in the world these days.  I try to stay away from politics, but only one more sleep until there’s a new president, so that’s a plus, i think. I’m hoping it’s a peaceful day tomorrow.

For the musical/drama fans, this made laugh

On the home front, we (the province of Ontario) are starting week 2 of “just-stay-the-fuck-home” orders and it looks like the previous lock down (started Dec 26th) is starting to work as the new case numbers are dropping here.  So that’s some good news, but we are still a long way from opening things back up I fear.  Cannot imaging trying to comprehend the new rules as a business owner.  Hurry up Mr Vaccine.

Moving on.

First Lady Supreb owl ref announced.  About god damn time. Go Sarah.

Random stuffs

Trying to give youz y’alls some topics to discuss amongst yourselves:

in 1883 the first electric lighting system using overhead wires began functioning in Jersey.  Why Jersey?

in 1935 Coopers sells the first men’s briefs, called the :Jockey”.  Which makes me wonder what they did before

1958 the “Canadian Football Council” renamed to be “Canadian Football League”.

in 2002 the “Tuck rule” game occurred, sorry RTD.

in 2013 Lance Armstrong admits to doping in all of his Tour Wins.

Mets GM fired for Farving it up.  60+ texts and then a dick pic.  That’s way over the line.  The 60+ texts were enough.

And it’s National popcorn day, so now your snack is taken care of.  For the banner pic, someone is trying to find out.  Can’t make this shit up

Don’t forget to add your submissions to the Quotables thread

For you viewing pleasure tonight there’s hardwood, JV hardwood and ice footy on.  Check you local listings for games and times.

Write something below. Or Not. Whatever.

The first electric streetlights were in Jersey because Menlo Park NJ is where Edison’s research center was.

A lot of people are upset that Bannon is getting a pardon, but I think it’s delightful. A bunch of Trump supporters spent all their insulin money on a scam, and the guy who ran the scam is going to get off scott free (freeing up prosecutors to work on other stuff) and will die of cirrhosis of the liver within a year, I bet. It’s win-win-win!

Down here is already the 20th. I don’t have any illusions about the future. I’m happy enough that Trump will be reduced to a citizen, and I’ll take odds on 45 being a pariah by this time next year. ?

Eh, from an outsider’s perspective – the names and parties may change, but the legitimately retarded (and shortsighted) policies will chug on right along… Only difference is that with Biden, there’s at least an outside shot that he probably won’t initiate WW3 just because the other G7 leaders don’t respond to his DMs on Twatter

And fuck that “Phil Rivers is a Hall of Famer DUH” narrative. He played a playoff same with a busted ACL—yes, the guy is great. But the ass kissing demeans EVERYBODY.
Guess I’m still pretty fucking mad. I was really, really looking forward to a heated argument about driveway blockers deserving a crowbar’s teeth into eyesockets.

It would even be better if they could get the IATA airport code to be Biden’s initials, JRB. Or maybe OHJ, for Old Handsome Joe.

Or DJB, for Diamond Joe Biden.

I dunno, Trump will just think it’s a typo, and that they meant DJT.

No, it’s better, because every time they say D…J… his mentally declining ass will get all excited and then they’ll bust out the B! and he’ll remember again and get infuriated all over again.

Based on last night’s TV thread I discovered I get HBOMax because I have AT&T cell phone service, and also a channel “curated” by TCM, and it’s pretty vast. In the last two (three) years all I ever watched was football and the occasional baseball game (never TV news unless local weather/fires/car chase) because there was nothing on and I didn’t get cable channels. I think I’ve had these all along and didn’t know it.

Also: I bought a blender today.

Guy I’ve told three times NOT to park blocking my driveway did it again. So I egged his car. And hid the machete.

6
Sharkbait

Did you hide the machete before or after using it to puncture his tires?

2
Don T

He’s gotta drive away sometime. Blown tires won’t help.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Get a quart of milk, press one of the door windows in enough to create a gap between the weatherstrip and the glass, and pour in the milk. Wait a few days. He’ll have to get rid of the car, unless he’s got covid and no sense of smell..

Only three though. If it’s all four it gets covered by insurance, from what I’ve been told.

I told Senorita Weaselo I want a sitcom of her best friend, who did such brilliant things as accidentally send his sushi Uber Eats order to KFC.

3
Sharkbait

I assume intoxicating substances were involved with that error?

1
Senor Weaselo

Totally sober. He originally was going to get KFC and had never used Uber Eats before.

He also sent her a “Happy Birthday” song message… and fucked up the words. To Happy Birthday. We listen to it whenever we feel like it, on par with the “Gonpachiro Kamaboko” meme from Demon Slayer.

Will they show a hidden camera live feed of Trump the moment he’s no longer President? After four years, I think we all deserve to see him crying.

That is the pay per view, so he can cash in as much as inhumanly possible.

Didn’t you pay attention during Hamilton? Because “everything’s legal in Jersey”.

I thought it was just because that’s where Edison had his lab. But you may be right, isn’t that why they set The Sopranos there?

Any reason to make fun of that state is a good reason to make fun of that state. Lived there once for a year. Never again.

I remember fondly those games watching Carr throw to Mr. D Adams, who went to live in Green Bay. Man, that Fresno State team was something special.

Watching the Vuelta Espana on the Olympic Channel, which is rapidly becoming my favoUrite channel that doesn’t involve naked female roommates ordering delivery pizza, and I now love having Tour cycling on while I work. The scenery is always outstanding, it’s fascinating to watch strategies develop and change, the camera angles they get these days show the absolutely insane speeds and inclines/declines these lunatics deal with, and Lance Armstrong isn’t involved any more.

2
BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

I try to watch the tour when on. The country side shots are always amaz-balls and the crazy that they do whilst on bikes is on full display.

2
Horatio Cornblower

This stage went along the northern Spanish coast and through some towns with old monasteries and cathedrals and holy fuck do I hate being stuck in the house right now.

1
BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

haha, yep. The Country side stuff is also one of the reason i watch Top Gear\Grand Tour. they are so well shot

2
ballsofsteelandfury

The Tour de France was the perfect Working at Home background. As you guys said, the scenery is beautiful and when you have a chance to look up from your laptop for a few minutes, the competition is intense.

I’ll have to check out the Vuelta.

Do they do a lot of drone photography now? Seems like it would lend itself very well to the sport.

I think most of the airial shots is done with a helicopter, with lots action footage taken off the back of a motorcycle.

What GTD said, any aerial shots I’ve seen seems to be from helicopters.
