Saturday Nihilism Night

Seriously, am I really gonna have to watch the Zombie USFL?  This is what happens when you are a lazy piece of shit and don’t believe in human activity.

Things learned earlier:

  1. Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher.  See Spurs and Brighton, on opposing ends of that spectrum.
  2. I cashed a nice wager on Sepsi OSK.  Romanian footy is the tits.
  3. Men Untied are still a car crash, just not so much that they will lose at home to Norwich (despite blowing a 2-nil lead).
  4. Good thing nobody cares about the FA Cup.  No siree Bob!
  5. Have you noticed that, like, every manager in the world has been doing the Diego Simeone “man in black” fashion touchline show this week?
  6. Prase (safe from relegation fo sho) Beesus, kings of the apiary.

That’s all I got.  You get what you pay for, and such.

Happy Egg Day!

BeefReeferLives

Wowzers, upon further review, “my” idea isn’t novel AT ALL. (read “Entangled Life” recently, so maybe that’s where I picked it up).

Makes me want to get back into homebrewing….

BeefReeferLives

Makes me think about the legal ramifications of this.

There’s no law against these strains of yeast, or yeast, of any strain – to my knowledge, of being sold for commercial or private use….

So the yeast could be sold, shipped, etc. (as yet) with no problem, I would think…

BeefReeferLives

So, you could conceivably make some homebrew with yeast altered with snippets from p. cube / cyans, or peyote, or poppy, or even cocoa, perhaps….

Then, of course, purify it… My my,,,

yeah right

Update: she’s out of surgery and resting comfortably. She had diverticulosis previously and it came back. She lost some digestive segments and they gave her fentanyl.

So that’s nice.

Youngest right asked if the sauce was going?

Sauce is going and the pasta is drying.

The thing with box wine, verrrr difficile to judge one’s consumption

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Justin Blackmon once tried to box wine. He lost in the 3rd by TKO.

How about those Stallions?!!

Doktor Zymm

Whenever I see a comment like this my knowledge that she was slandered as a powerful woman in a society that wasn’t down with that conflicts with my sense of humor. I’m pretty sure she had a good life overall though and would probably find it funny in retrospect, since I hear ghosts are pretty detached so tl;dr lol

Mr. Ayo

We all know you don’t get the surname of “The Great” without many accomplishments. HOWEVAH, history has a way of remembering folks for their quirks. For example, we’ll always remember Putin as the dude that rode a bear topless. (Buddy alert!)

I just listed all three on Ebay and Swappa and the Leica got its first offer 15 minutes later.

Doktor Zymm

Not for me, my nipples are already permanently erect due to a workplace accident and I only take pictures od thing reluctantly because there is a camera in every phone nowadays and I have no excuse not to

yeah right

Since most of my communication with the daughters is via text it’s either really good news or really bad news when they actually call.

It wasn’t good.

Former mrs. Right is in surgery and it’s really not great with her being in stage 4 already.

Youngest right said she had this weird thought about suddenly being in charge of all of these major life decisions and she couldn’t wrap her mind around it.

I told her that I felt the same after losing my parents and said it’s basically the death of childhood.

There’s nobody to call for advice or for solace and basically you’re the family wisdom now.

Then I said not to write my ass off anytime soon cuz I ain’t going nowhere but up, baby!

She was laughing and in a good mindset when we finished the call.

Fuck. This is going to suck so fucking hard for my girls and granddaughters.

Happy Easter everyone!

Doktor Zymm

Your kids and grandkids are lucky to have you

yeah right

Thank you!

Gumbygirl

Oof. Gumby still has his dad, and I have one Aunt on my dad’s side. Other than that, we’re the olds. Weird, isn’t it?

yeah right

It is weird. I miss those random Sunday morning tell the parents how everything is going calls. Who made me the advice giver?!

2Pack

Best for a good outcome. Stay strong for them.

Doktor Zymm

Just in case anyone has forgotten, fuck putin and may he die every death he has brought upon others

yeah right

1000x over!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But he’ll also get assigned some deaths he didn’t bring upon others too, right? Like, I’m pretty sure he didn’t cause anyone to die via having their intestines eaten by hyenas over the course of several hours, but I’d like him to experience that, too.

Doktor Zymm

I’m down with fate getting creative

To celebrate Easter I’m eating some chocolate-covered cherries that I bought for the kids for Christmas.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Tough but fair. They should have eaten them by now.

BeefReeferLives

I’m sure they couldn’t really appriciate good chocolate the way you can, so TOTES JUSTIFIED.

*Makes a sad face and feeling excluded goes and sits in a corner*
-alcohol

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Apologies, alcohol has been well-represented. I figured that went without saying.

Gumbygirl

I have some carnitas, a southwestern bagged salad, and some jalapeno salsa that we will have rolled up in tortillas. Easypeasy lemon squeezy! Time to burn a fattie and watch a little more of this oddly entertaining football -like extravaganza!

scotchnaut

-Samin Nosrat

I love that show.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s very soothing. I do wish she’d give that buttermilk chicken a rest, though. We get it, you like it!

Doktor Zymm

STOP BEING WARM YOU STUPID RADIATOR! I TURNED YOU ALL THE WAY OFF SO YOU SHOULD BE OFF AND NOT LEAK!

Doktor Zymm

Is there a sort of off that is even more off than all the way off?

Also, is there a drone cam? A live feed camera on a drone?? That like flies around during the game?? Not sure if that’s Rocking…

It’s so cool when you get one of those Cinderella runs.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Yes!” – Rikki-Tikki-Deadly, after opening this page and seeing a wall of new yellow comments.

/not kidding, that’s actually what I said.

Doktor Zymm

Was it actually in response to the new comments, or was it because you remembered it’s only a day before easter candy goes on sale?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Easter too?

[hyperventilates]

Gumbygirl

I got some today, it was pretty picked over. No chocolate bunnies, very sad. But Starburst jelly beans , so yay!

Doktor Zymm

I would seprate Cadbury creme eggs as a kid they my jam

Gumbygirl

As long as we all agree that Peeps are an abomination, and not even candy, what the freaking fuck!

Doktor Zymm

I guess I am going out after all, it’s my fault for telling people I am in town

Doktor Zymm

Reprieve! Going out tomorrow afternoon to Delilah’s! That is one of the damn finest bars in the world

Redshirt

That’s why I publish my obituary every Thursday to avoid that such situation.

yeah right

Finally figured out why the scratch made everything Italian dinner kicks my ass.
It’s the fresh pasta. The silent assassin.

The sauce has some labor no doubt but the bread thing is easy if you have the right kitchen toys.

The pasta is no joke. Hands on labor with the 10 minute knead and then running it through the pasta machine to make sheets then running it through again to cut, then you have to arrange it on the drying rack and then sweep the flour to clean up the broken pasta bits.

I was sitting on the couch watching basketball then I realized I didn’t make anything for dinner.

2Pack

We made the meatballs and sauce today so it’s ready to go. Cheating by using high quality package local pasta which is pretty fresh. The rolled veal and pork roast is slow cooked in the morning served as the second course with roast potatoes rosemary and new peas. Desert is the traditional Colomba cake, coffee and chocolate eggs. Will be plenty LARGE tomorrow.

Mmmmm Cheez Ballz

“Me neither! Wait. We’re talking about cinnamon-flavored, right?” – Eli Manning, pouring himself a fresh bowl

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I had a bowl of that earlier this evening.

Not judging if you drink boxed pinot grigio from a bowl.

BeefReeferLives

Planters Cheez Balls will always be the pinnacle of snak for me… THatz some blue chip shit.

Warriors vs Nuggets 🏀
Hopefully it’s Rocking!!!

Goooooo Dubs!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Entertaining so far!

Horatio Cornblower

Orioles take a 2-0 lead. I honestly don’t see the Yankees coming back from that, so ‘Brockmire’ and “Archer” it is.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And we are drinking a beer!

/I’m not but it’s one of my favorite Brockmire episodes

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I really should watch that show.

Horatio Cornblower

Watching the Yankees game.

It’s the 3rd inning and they’ve left 5-6 people on base. Against the Orioles.

This is going to be a long season, and I suspect I’m not going to watch most of it.

Doktor Zymm

Is it coincidence that ‘football league’ and ‘Florida’ have the same abbreviation? Seems a bit too convenient if you ask me

SonOfSpam

Also FleshLight.

BeefReeferLives

THe “FLoriDA Fleshlight Leahgue”

Has a nice ring to it

Doktor Zymm

There is a very good comic novel that features Brentford winning the FA Cup

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Wait you guys are actually watching the USFL? Blink twice if you need to be rescued.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

To be clear, I’m not going to rescue any of you, but I think we should keep track.

Game Time Decision

Watched one play. There’s lacrosse on,,so gonna watch that instead

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Battle of the Belts sounds like something Coach Reid would be the champion of.

Doktor Zymm

In Chicago for the weekend and actually got painting done this time! First coat of ‘eucalyptus’ is done in the living room. It’s a pretty bright color so will need a second coat, but that and the touchups around the corners will be for tomorrow morning before the brunch drinking starts.

Thinking I will emulate Hippo and stay in tonight. I got a box of wine, blueberries, and some truffle cheese to consume while reading my book alone in my surprisingly comfy sofabed.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This game is, uh, not competitive so I may switch to Rick & Morty at halftime.

/wifey and I are cooking together

Wifey: “Alexa, play…”

This is a joke right. No way Tucker Carlson isn’t involved in this. This could turn straight men gay and gay women straight.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Honestly I feel like it’s an example of the horseshoe theory. Watch it once and you’re instantly gay. Watch it a second time and you’re back to straight again.

Personally, I think may turn you into Super Gay.

Super gay?

Can I ask that Stephen A. Smith, Mike Wilbon, Tim Legler, and essentially anyone TWWL force-feeds NBA TAEKS on the populace move to Saturn?
