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.
Saints can’t even win the spoon right.

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.

SOTU more like SOJU amirite?

Biden could probably get his approvals into the 60s if he just said “Fuck Putin” over and over until election day.

Watching SOTU on about a 10 minute delay so NO SPOILERS!
I can’t bear to know beforehand who won’t stand up when.

So. How about the new, hot USFL news! You know, for a football site. 😉
It has Jeff Fisher involved. No.

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.

At that price, you can’t afford NOT to!

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.
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly
Key thing here is “across the ocean”
The jet stream is a myth, just like unicorns, global warming, and the female orgasm.

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.

Grandma: “So then I told him if he doesn’t find himself a nice Christian lady to settle down with, I’m going to have to find one for him myself.”
Sheamus: “Yeah, that guy really needs to get laid.”
Grandma: “That’s what I said!”

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.

That’s some Judean People’s Front bullshit right there.

It’s been raining off and on here all day. In the desert. And it’s chilly. I will try to remember this day in August, when it’s 120.

As for the Ohio forecast:

yeah right reporting for duty!
I really, really liked Spielberg’s West Side Story a lot.
Now for some lighter fare.
Look! Les Miserables is on!

A Browns game? At this time of year?

If the NFL doesn’t schedule the Munich game during Oktoberfest they are idiots.

They should have the Raiders and Browns play there, teams acquainted with loss and drinking…

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.
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.
WOO!!!!!!!!
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?
Professor Emeritus Chaz Whitehurst, Provost.
Matt Flynn nods.
Looks like John Schneider and Pete Carroll won’t have to contend with those annoying playoff expectations anymore.
I sense an offseason series coming!
OMG ST PATRICKS DAY IS ALSO FIRST DAY OF MARCH MADNESS

Looking for one of these at local dealers. The way things are going… may need some cheap mobility that’s packin.

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.

I’m so happy you put the Horatio Kiev kids quote in there. One of the all-time best.
that whole thread is pretty dark. But still funny
I am truly awful person.
One drink last night and my head feels like Putin’s would if he’d been locked in a room alone with Vasiliy Lomachenko for two hours.
Q-Aron signed with the Pack. “4” years, “$200” million
Man, getting cancelled sucks huh?
Well, that should buy him plenty of mud to eat, at least.

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.
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.
I still say they are gouging us to make back the money lost during the first year of the pandemic. Greedy fucks.
Shell was the only station ($4.02) that I saw in Raleigh and inner-burbs that wasn’t $4.19 on the dot.
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.
