Well last week was fun. I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out.
I’d say all in all, fun was had by most, and it’s just how I drew it up, a multi-goal game from Tyler Motte. The bridge level at the Garden is a really good vantage point to watch the game.
Apart from that, taught Thursday, taught Friday, two gigs Saturday, gig Sunday, taught Monday, taught Tuesday. At least currently (Wednesday) I’m with Senorita Weaselo through the lower Hudson Valley!
Then teaching Thursday, maybe oil change Friday? Yeah, it’s not the most exciting life.
News!
QQARON’S QAVE WATQH: DEAR GOD JUST GET IT DONE ALREADY. Seriously.

Dude the bridge level is a great spot for games
Seems like a trick.
Gave Ohtani a day off and won anyway, FUCK YOU TUNGSTEN,
I’d like to preemptively apologize for the snow that’s on the way to the northern folk. I put away the shovel AND got the winter tires off one of the cars. It was in the 80s here, 28C, today.
Wife is starting spring cleaning. I am not happy about this, but I will do my best to be very drunk about this.
It’s supposed to be in the 70’s tomorrow. I have got to clean my patio, it’s going to be way too hot very soon.
It just started raining again. Six months in a row of measurable rain.
When did I move to the Amazon rain forest?
This is nuts.
Hey, that Bulls v Raptors game is on TV at this taco shop next to the charging station I’m using right now. Should i bother watching basquetbol?
The parquet should be ignored until the finals
It’s turned into a pretty thrilling game.
Today in Old Man Yells At Cloud, I read (from someone who was completely being serious) that the “AP Style Guide” tells you not to say “openly” or “out” with respect to a “first” accomplishment by a gay person (ie, first openly lesbian US Senator Tammy Baldwin). Why? Because it “necessarily” implies there is something wrong or shameful about being gay.
Give me a good reference, Redshirt. I think Hippo is a Republican* now.
*not actually true, but shit like this is what keeps many sane non-political folks from completely dismissing every bit of Fox News “outrage porn.”
It necessarily implies that people keep it hidden because there is a stigma associated with it. Right or wrong, it’s a fact.
There certainly WAS a stigma, which is part of our history and development as a culture. Puts things into context nicely, and is pretty clearly positive in terms of gay rights.
If you don’t think that stigma still exists, you don’t live in the real world.
There’s nothing wrong with being gay. Unless you’re not gay, then it’s very wrong.
Did you ever wonder what you would be like if you were gay? Not you, Brick, just anyone. Would you be you, just with more gay, or would you go full on gayer than a treeful of parrots?
I would be an A-List gay
He already works in Hollywood. He’d be a film mogul by now.
I’m not gay, and I’m thankful for it. Sure, I’ve sucked a few cocks here and there, but I only did it by accident and I’ve been very clear about this.
Accidental gay sex- the Navy Way!
Now they got chicks on board, so there’s no sex now. Dames fuck up everything.
I think I would be pretty much myself, I would just make out with a lot more guys. Like, a lot more. And my body count would probably be at least double. And I’d be a lot more worried when there’s red stuff in the bowl and I hadn’t had beets the night before.
Quadruple. And that’s being conservative.
You would be totally fierce! And why not? Those are the ones who always seem to be having a great time.
I would either not hate dating nearly as much, or hate it way more. I’m friends with plenty of lesbians and they’re awesomem, but I’m also friends with plenty of men and that hasn’t made dating men any more fun so who knows 🤷
Yeah, I would probably be an equal opportunity
” ugh, go away, I’m busy” misanthrope either way.
It’s like how we have “Sports” and “Women’s Sports” which implies that one is worse than the other. Wait…
Not really, “women’s sports” are simply more exclusive. If not otherwise specified “sports” are assumed to be open to all.
That actually would solve the issue of trans athletes. Let them compete with men and let women’s competitions be only for women.
I mean, that option is kind of already on the table. Women have competed in men’s hockey and men’s golf, off the top of my head.
But that is not considered a solution in the eyes of most trans women. They consider it insulting and want to be part of women’s teams. I have… opinions about that.
I do too
The only reason competition is divided along gender lines is historical. In most sports women were explicitly banned so they started their own leagues. In the small handful of sports where they weren’t explicitly banned (frequently because the sports were originally limited to military so implicitly banned women, but then when they opened them to civilians they didn’t put in a no chicks clause) some of them did manage to maintain competition on equal footing through campaigning by prominent female competitors, even if those sports were considered too difficult for women like Three-Day Eventing.
Right: if you’re good enough you play sports, otherwise women’s sports. Is the implication. Not my implication though.
Golf and tennis do specify Men’s though, I think?
Just like Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover America, and not the first openly exploring person to discover America!
Because all of the other people who accomplished stuff without making a big deal about who they are on a personal level obviously don’t count
/As per the dental surgery reference by Hippo…*
The summer after my first year of uni I worked for the dad at the dairy. This involved being at work at 5am and working until 4pm five days a week and putting in five hours on Saturday and Sunday. After that I played pickup basketball and then after that it was usually girlfriend time. I was living on 4-5 hours of sleep for a few months fortified by a diet of fried eggs, chocolate ice cream and peanut butter sandwiches. After having lost 40 pounds in 90 days I fainted and fell chin first into a concrete floor. A fractured jaw, several cracked teeth and 13 stitches under the chin later, I showed up to work the next day because there was no one else to take my place.
*I’m having a dead tooth removed after all these years because of all that business above
This is no doUbt an excellent comeback when any of your chill’uns bitch and moan.
Ouch. Explains your hobo proclivities.
Do you think they’ll rename the French and Indian War before or after they rename Cleveland’s dirtfootball team?
You don’t like the Guardians name, Frau Doktor?
The G-word is offensive to adoptees
It is weed o’clock, my darling dears!

Smoke up that deliberation room, LIKE A FUCKING LADY!
If you get put on a panel and they haven’t bumped you by 4:20, just keep glancing at your watch and if the judge or one of the lawyers asks if you have somewhere else you need to be, just fidget a little more and say “No…it’s just…[glance at watch again]…what’s the policy on smoke breaks?”
I am home, and done with my civic duty
They dismissed us all after making us sit there for hours. Comfy chairs, too,lol. My ass is still asleep.
Is your ass snoring?
Probably. My ass has existential ennui.
My ass just has figurative pain from my kids…
I haven’t been to a hockey game in ages, might try to do that in the next year or so, maybe in Vegas
As long as it’s not Chi****, that team is a train wreck on ice.
Vegas games are a lot of fun.
Know what I bet sucks? Needing dental surgery after taking a fastball to the face (Naturally Cloned Persons’ UT)
Was that the ump at today’s Yankees-Spiders game? Because that guy took a shot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xggvjh8uVOw&ab_channel=TheDugout
Like Brett taking a ricochet from Archer’s weapon. That ball WANTED to kill teeth.
Not the facial I was looking for
Yeesh. Christ you could hear the dental damage.
What the fuck? Who are the Spiders? Are they from Mars? I got excused from jury duty at 4pm. You’d better believe I tore ass out of there!
I refuse to call the Cleveland Dirt Footballers anything but the Spiders.
So they ARE from Mars!
