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. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman [in bed].

As a reminder, 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.

Re GB/Dallas

LaFleur at the end of the first half: “Watch my idiotic playcalling handicap my team’s decent playmakers!”

McCarthy at the end of the second half: “Hey, Matt, hold my beer”

The Chicago Bears are the first team in NFL history to score at least 29 points in three consecutive games and lose all three.

I wish every week we had at least one game that was as entertaining and crazy as the last few minutes of regular time in the Buffalo/ Minnesota game. Soooo good!

Kinda rooting for the Washington Football Team just for the pure chaos, but it feels dirty, as though I’d sat in their stadium and been showered with sewage.

I’m hoping every win, every positive play, will make it that much more painful for He Who Shall Not Be Subpoenaed when he’s forced to sell the team

“He Who Shall Not Be Subpoenaed” had me pause for a second, because it applies to so many damn people.

Re: Pilate Sloth’s comment below

I’ve got the two dogs and they love getting petted/scratched/rubbed up when I come home at night. If my wife is within earshot this is how things go down.

Me: “Oh Molly, that’s how you like it, huh? You want me to scratch harder? You know you want me to. Oh, there’s the G spot. (when a dog lifts its leg to involuntarily scratch)

Me, again: “Ruby, ah that’s it right there. Do you want me to scratch slow or fast? Tell me you want me to scratch that sweet spot. Say it. That feels good, doesn’t it?”

Wife: “SHUT. UP.”

Such disgusting abuse of sacred alcohol. You were right to punish said jackass in a way he wouldn’t soon forget.

No, no, you weren’t paying attention – they punished him in a way he wouldn’t remember.

Manners are what separate adult citizens from despicable homunculi. Hold doors, say please / thank you, let folks talk without interruptions, and most important.

For the love of GAWD, bring something if invited to someone’s home. A bottle, six-pack, appetizer, pastries, dessert, anything to ward off freeloadin’ vibes.

And NEVER decline jumpstarting someone’s car. This is even more important.

Total side note: I fostered a rescue cat two weeks ago, she has now gone thru the adoption system and is ready for her forever home. If you happen to live in or near Portland and you find yourself wanting or needing a cat, Comet is a very sweet girl who deserves to live a full happy life with someone.

Thanks for doing these. I can honestly say that I try to watch more CFL because of these so I have a clue as to what’s going on.
While I cheer for the Argos, there’s no way they beat the Bombers.

I don’t know, if the Bombers qb is hurt, there’s a chance! I would just like to thank the Maestro for the work he puts in to the CFL posts, and to remind him that I beat him in this year’s pool. HahHahahahahaha,you are the biggest loser!!!!!

I don’t remember my exact method of modeling everyone – I know it was based on your fandom for armor/weapon colors, I think I linked these and asked for preferred physical looks, gender, and first/last names.

OK, sure, DFO is probably going to be the next twitter and there’ll be a huge influx of new people here. So let’s come up with a secret code phrase that only us cool kids will know so we can feel smug.

“Red Wings Suck Sewer Water Forever” would be a cool secret code phrase and it would always be relevant.

Judas Priest is in the rock and roll hall of fame.

If I had a non drunk photographer I would take a picture of my 40 year old British Steel tattoo.

Which gives me a great idea about our tattoos and why. With photographic evidence of course.
yeah right

Gumby’s tatoo is the standard, first liberty after bootcamp. Tijuana especiale! Eagle on the right arm, circa 1979. He has no memory of getting it, he woke up with a bloody bandage on his arm, shaved head, in a hotel that was so bad he thought it was a jail cell.

My word, I’ve seen starving children play football better than this Qatari side. Couldn’t we have recruited a more cromulent nation to participate? I don’t know that I’ve ever said this, but I miss our Italian-speaking Africa-colonizing colleagues!

Jesus, I made the mistake of taking a sip of freshly squeezed oranje juice, (squeezed by a manservant I obtained from Dutch New Guinea for just such an occasion), before reading “it will have been his 12th attempt on goal at that point in the match”

My computer screen barely escaped with its life. Outstanding work, chap.

I’m at a breakfast place I really like. Great coffee, excellent food, nice young service that isn’t here to show me how cool they are just keep the tables clean, and but for the winter crowd being out in force now, it’s usually easy for me to stay a while and not feel like I’m taking up valuable space (I’m the only one at the big communal table now — so stuck that 4-tops).

Anyways, I get my wrap and it’s clearly less voluminous than before and the salsa they give you is now in like a whipped butter sized container — not the larger old salsa cup they gave out.

I really wish they’d have just raised their prices (more). Or do you prefer to just get a smaller but basically the same order now?
blaxabbath

It’s about cost per weight. You’d have to compare the reduction in portion size at same cost to the cost increase to stay the same size.

But who the fuck eats out anymore?

And I do agree about the black [ from the Bye week Jets Post].

I think you need to win a title in your old uniforms before being allowed to move on to a new look.

That’s why the Cardinals look will linger around like the Confederacy for another 10 years until we bring out the cancel culture on the NFL finally.

Game Time Decision

FOR WHAT!?
Horatio Cornblower

Ah yes, the great confounding question of humankind. For time eternal the greatest (and lesser) philosophers have grappled with this simple, yet existential, query. More recently this proposition was considered and debated in relation to turning down. Sadly, no conclusion was provided. Indeed, not even a theory of resolution was posited. Instead, Lil Jon, trapped in the quandary of an existential crisis took another tack. In lieu of an answer, the listener was instead presented the quandary to solve for themselves by repeatedly asking, For What? Perhaps, then, that was the answer, that there is no singular truth. Instead, the proper response is as independent as an individual from anyone else. Though that may offer a further truth that must be explored. Indeed, we can then explore the difference individual choices, then study those individuals for their traits, history, genetics to divine if those guide the answer. That the answer is the same as what molds a singular person. As humans, we must have the answers, but at what point must we stop and allow things to be as they are and silence our innate curiosity?

So we are once again left with another unanswerable question. But we must credit Lil Jon for at least pushing our thinking, understanding, and questioning on the matter further. Only through such progress can we succeed.
