Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t.  

Today’s write up will be brief as I’m writing this intro after post time and ignoring a video call on the other screen.  The only thing this meeting is going to accomplish is booking moar meetings to waste (my) time.  Larry from Regina looks like a fucking rockstar\genius beside these people.  It’s really this bad.  There’s a delivery company with the tag line of “Moving at the speed of business”, which is to indicate speed, but if anything like most of my clients, then the pace is downright glacial.  So, does that mean that my package will take months before it arrives.

As a reminder, this post will cover comments made up to and through the Saturday Night Open Thread. Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post. Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

I was way too busy today and couldn’t participate in the Mock Draft. Did anyone happen to mention The Blair Witch Project?

Is there any picking sheet to determine the winners of the fights between the fans. Really looking to the hooligan fight between the Scots and the Croats. I have a feeling the Scots are better at throwing rocks but the Croats are probably better at using hidden weapons.

would join that pool, but not sure how the scoring would work.
Game Time Decision

number of deaths/injuries requiring medical attention/non-medically attended bleeding wounds and concussions per faction divided by the number of participants per faction, the faction with the lowest number wins

Ah, so Standard Glasgow Scoring, then.

Yep, instead of the Russian which only counts deaths/disappearances

Haven’t done any cocaine (and therefore, baby laxative) in years, but just reading about Bolivia makes me feel like I have to poop.

Brazilian team not playing while the Copa’s been moved to Brazil would be peak hilarity. And/or riots.

So to counter everything else, i had a fun weekend. Went to the first wedding in forever, saw a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in over a year.

My female cousin was marrying a musician she had met when he was working on some months before covid. They kept in touch through social media, and when he was out of work cuz of the cruise line shitting shutting down, he decided to come to indiana to move into her place. They were gonna have a courthouse wedding, but decided to wait a few more months once the vaccine was announced.

Did I mention the lad is Colombian? The reason I bring this up is that I apparently i didn’t realize how kickass a latin wedding was going to be after a year lockup. There was Colombian food, there was Colombian music, there was Colombian alcohol, there was Colombian women who were salsa dancing, and I wasn’t related to a single one of them!

I also didn’t realize how involved the groom’s band would be. (Hes the guitarist) Not only did he play half of the reception, but he also wrote a song for his vow, made my poor cousin cry because her cuz she felt upstaged. She was like “you wrote this beautiful song and I just got these few lame paragraphs on a piece of paper.

NGL, I’m super jealous of how cool this guy is. He can apparently play every classic rock song from memory. He played elvis, Beatles, stones, Metallica and absolutley killed it playing Santana, who is apparently his idol. During the couple’s second dance he pulled out a microphone and started singing Sinatra, and whipped out a pair of shades.

Another great moment occurred the night before, where he was playing journey while the bride and her sister sang. What made it most memorable was as I was recording it, I noticed my cousin’s son (kid is about eleven) wander into frame, and seeing that he was distracted, I took the opportunity to shove him into the pool. Got the whole thing on video. (Granted he had just gotten out of the pool, but still, it was fucking funny.)

May we put this year of shittiness behind us and have a summer of greatness!

Yesterday was more fun, but today was also a good day for DFO on twitter.

I love that you're giving up something you love just because you hate gay Americans so very, very much. Like, you are literally making your life worse out of spite. What a wonderful way to live!

I may have figured out why Eli Manning thinks that sandwich was a Sloppy Joe. After the great cowboys vs. Indians catsup fiasco which necessitated a new carpet and wallpaper, it was decided that Eli was never to be given anything which had a reddish sauce. So the first time he was given a sloppy Joe, that is what they gave him. I mean you still have to watch him when he has a juice box.

Because I lived in Scotland for 3 years, and my sister in law is Scottish, I feel like I am qualified to explain Scotland to people who have never been there. Here we go!

I don’t know why the hell the DFO twitter account follows Ellen DeGeneres, but anytime she shows up in the feed I make a point of making a joke about her throwing water bottles at her assistants.

Was just reading a news article about one of Florida’s favorite sons. A poaster commented:

“Like a cold night in Florida, Matt Gaetz slipped into the teens”

Been saying this for decades but the Utah fans are hands down the most racist disgusting fans in all of American professional sports.

It’s like they’re being a little overlooked brother.

Goes back to when they made fun of Derrick Fisher for missing a game because his daughter had eye surgery because she had cancer.

I’ve said it before: I liked the no fans better.
yeah right

No state deserves the nickname Jazz less than Utah.

It’s really nice to see the NFL doing what they can for equality between the sexes, by allowing a female employee to act like a complete asshole and, just like a male employee, face no repercussions at her place of employment.

I would like to thank you magnificent bastards for your support. I am on ice and my wife is on ankle support. I asked my daughter to choose. Cut off my leg or toss me over the fence and let the coyotes sort it out. She is conflicted.

Just had an attorney call me after 12 on Friday to tell me he was sending the documents over that I’d been chasing him for months to get me, and when can I review them.

Me: “Monday. I’m taking a half day in the office today.”

I work at home.

That’s right up there with my personal favorite, the lengthy letter from opposing counsel on a non-emergency matter than demands a response within a day.

I just made that Cocktail of The Week. Might I say, not bad. This is something I would drink again. Thanks, mysterious internet person who totally isn’t a serial killer, for sharing this one.

Instead of quite a few fireworks pops going off tonight (and yes, people are dumb and bored enough to constantly set off fireworks in an extreme drought) there was one especially loud explosion sound and it has been silent since then. I’m setting the fingers lost line at JPP

Chin-mask lady chugged a Coors light in the boarding line, then held up the whole line because she was apparently unaware that her kids have to wear masks! I hope she gets drunk on this short flight and provides some free in flight entertainment while setting a poor example for her kids!

I have smoked paprika, but not hot Hungarian. I think I’m going to wait until I am properly provisioned, but I am definitely making this soon!

And I have snorted cilantro. I’m just glad that we can be honest with each other.

This Chicken Paprikash recipe is good, but inauthentic.

It is missing the essential ingredient. My dear late Hungarian mother-in-law, whom I adored, taught me the secret to real Hungarian Chicken Paprikash:
