Is “In This Heat?” replacing “In This Economy?” Your Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - June 26, 2025

Probably not but I'm going to give it a try. Last week, Mrs. Scotchnaut asked me to bring back some salad stuff and that was my reply. Why yes, as I am want to do, I did explain the joke. So there's not much out there on the football side aside

God, what a night that was! I'm still picking Tonight Girlfriends' underthings (those that bothered to wear underthings) out of the branches of trees in the Clubhouse yard! Don T is still asleep in a lawn chair with a bottle of Patron in his hand. Hippo is in the corner

And we're not talking about that blonde guy/girl bartendy that was hired for their looks trying to make a Miojito! I'm currently reading Gulag: A History which leans heavily on Soviet documents and first-hand observations. None of this silly "One Day in the Life of Ivan Densiovich", pablum this. Turns out that

A Falling Out That Doesn’t Involve A Helicopter Over The Ocean? BOOOO! Your Thursday Night Open Thread

Let's get right in there shall we? These kindergarten-level personal dynamics must be explained to the people! Petulant Shitheads Alert: Of course it was just a matter of time before these narcissistic users of people turned on one another. Speaking of, I give the Rodgers/Art Smith marriage-if they somehow make it out of

Trying To Catch Up-A Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - May 29, 2025

I was on vacation two weeks ago and last week had to take Thursday and Friday off for some medical appointments 5 hours away. This week Monday was a half day because the mother's driving is iffy and Tuesday was an all-day meeting at an undisclosed location 3 1/2 hours

T'is planting season up here and my wifey is going full bore. And as happens every year at this time, I re-learn all the names of the flowers that I'd forgotten last year and the year before that. So far the stars of the early season are some yellow begonias

Your Thirsty Thursday Open Thread

scotchnaut - May 8, 2025May 8, 2025

All the threads are open these days, aren't they? Oh well... It was fun reading the comments in DJ Taj's post today. Whenever something of significance occurs you can always count on the commentariat to bring it. I couldn't participate because, you know, work. The month of May is a bastard because

I always try to lead with the football in my posts but tonight things are a bit different. The Senators haven't been in the postseason in one dog year and things are lining up quite nicely. (must be absolutely horrible to be a Red Wings fan, if anyone would admit to

How Does One Fill The Time? A Thursday Open Thread

scotchnaut - April 17, 2025April 17, 2025

Football-wise I'm just counting down the days until the draft hits. There might just be some Ottawa Senators playoff hockey though. Not seen in the wild since 2017! I'm curious what the Giants are doing at #3 and I think they have four in the top 100 but they'll probably blow

Your Skinny Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - April 10, 2025

Yes, there's NHL and NBA stuff on tonight but aside from one tilt this evening seems to be bereft (haven't used that word in a while) of sports entertainment. (I'll get to it below) My financial planner has been bugging me about my retirement date for a few years now and
