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.

Was looking at a calendar for some reason the other day. Most likely to try to figure what day of the week it was. Anyway, it occurred to me that I haven’t been in the office in over 2 year now. I assume whatever snaxx i had in my desk are now garbage. Even if not, not sure I want to eat something that been there that long. There’s a bunch of crap in there too, that can be tossed as I’d have a hard time telling anyone what’s in there. One thing that should come home is a bottle of Courvoisier, that hopefully hasn’t gone bad. It was for those long days in the office. As I’m gonna try to be in the office as little as possible going forward, if at all, it won’t be needed there. Props to those that have gone into the office everyday since this whole Covid thing started. I get how lucky I am to work remotely and not have to go to the office.

We’re into that late winter thing, where Sunday it was 15C/ 59F and sunny but VERY windy. Yesterday it was right around freezing and snowing/raining/sleet/hail most of the day, but not enough to really stick or cause any concerns about driving (or to me at least). So, the snow stories are probably done from me for the year, as what we will get from now on is just a slice or two on the scale. Aka, whatever\meh snow.

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.

Franz Ferdinand just pulled Russian tour dates. Feel like that reduces the chances of another World War by quite a bit.

They need to really rethink that Balkans tour leg.

I don’t usually drink during the week, but today I spent nearly three hours fighting with an interpreter during a deposition of a Polish military veteran, and not once did I ask if he was responsible for putting the screen doors in the submarines.

And I found out that the bar down the street does buck-a-shuck oysters on Thursdays, so I don’t see how I couldn’t drink tonight.

I’m just gonna go ahead and leak my plan for tonight to distract myself from the current Chernobyl Part II that’s happening across the ocean right now.

Key thing here is “across the ocean”

My family just lost our matriarch as my grandmother passed away after a long life. Its not completely sad as she lived into her 90s, and was blind, deaf and suffering from dementia; its less a loss and more of a release. She’s now showing Sheamus my baby pictures and sharing embarrassing stories of my youth.

For those caught in the mighty grip of GAMBLOR [side-eyes Litre], I give you a Basketball Africa League tilt (available for viewing on TSN at 12:30) between Dakar-based DUC Dakar (coached by Sir Parfait Adjivon, I kid you not) and Seydou Legacy Athletique Club out of Guinea.

Ah shit I put my bet on the Seydou Legacy Athletique Club of French Guiana, not the Seydou Legacy Athletique Club of Guinea.

I really, really liked Spielberg’s West Side Story a lot.

Mahatma Gandhi often walked barefoot which produced an impressive set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, making him rather frail and with his odd diet he often suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Stay busy and safe out there.

Well knock me down with a feather – Black Panthers “open to offers” for their undersized, injury-prone tailback.

Horatio Cornblower

Sooo, just popped in to see how you feel about the Broncos screwing their future for 3-5 years of Russell “Jesus made me throw that interception to test my faith” Wilson.

King Hippo

WOO!!!!!!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Come on, man, no one wants to see that thing. Wrap a bandana around it, at least.

Broncos got the better deal than Packers. Wilson has a far longer shelf life left than Qaron.

Also, what happens to Love. Does he get traded or does go to Clipboard QB Graduate School?

Wowzers. Congrats to hippo! Nano bubbles all over the walls, I bet.

I dunno, giving up all those draft picks for an aging QB never works.

Yeah, everyone knows having a great QB doesn’t turn your team around.

So Shell was getting their oil at a discount in price, yet still charges the same crazy-ass prices for gas as everybody else.

Big Petroleum is also pretty much the most taxpayer-subsidized industry we have in this country outside of defense. But they’re still bending us over at the pump and convincing morons to blame the same government that’s giving them free money for it.

The petroleum industry isn’t a market. It’s a racket.

ballsofsteelandfury

Absolutely. This “inflation” that everyone is talking about is only happening because corporations are not willing to reduce their profit margins. They can still make a profit, but they don’t want to reduce the amount of profit they’re making, so they’re making us bend over.

yeah right

I still say they are gouging us to make back the money lost during the first year of the pandemic. Greedy fucks.

King Hippo

Shell was the only station ($4.02) that I saw in Raleigh and inner-burbs that wasn’t $4.19 on the dot.

Col. Duke LaCross

Driving through Salt Lake tonight. Every single station that I drove past, and I made it a point to look, was set at $4.19. You can’t tell me there ain’t some kind of collusion going on.
