Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - April 18, 2024

Welcome folks, to Friday Eve. Shall we make a promise to ourselves and one another to half-ass it for four hours tomorrow? My routine is to do bunch of paperwork in the morning (pouring over sales journals mostly) go to the mail, touch bases with all the sales reps and

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: More Notes from the Bandstand

Senor Weaselo - April 17, 2024April 17, 2024

7 gigs in 8 nights has come and gone, and there was much rejoicing for my bank account, especially after the check to the Treasury Department (aka, taxes) cleared. Which was good in that it essentially cleared dead money in that case. Less good in the amount of money, which

Anything that gets the adrenaline moving like a 440 volt blast in a copper bathtub is good for the reflexes and keeps the veins free of cholesterol... -Hunter S. Thompson I miss poker. Haven't played since DFOCon 23, through lack of time and spare energy. Everyone has their own grand philosophical take on

Per Usual: Images and links are from Lexicanum or the Warhammer 40k wiki Two Imperial soldiers are crouched down (cowering down) behind an upturned slab of concrete as bullets, plasma shots, and other ordinance fly by in an almost solid stream, praying to the God Emperor for deliverance from their imminent death. The masses

In these Off-season Open Threads, I'll sum up the week that was, provide you with TMI-style information, and throw some random spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks. Since the NCAA tourney has wrapped up, we can now go to my random musings and TMI. *** If you remember the last

I just have no idea how anything could be more magical than waking up from Thursday's nap to Redshite nil - Lesser Falacons 3. No, I am not taking the return leg for granted. But HOLY SHIT, is that ever funny. And Everton won't even disappoint me until Monday, so here's

TGIF! The come down from March Madness is terrible. For a very small few of us, our methadone is azaleas in full bloom, pine straw, fake bird noises, small creeks, and yellow pin flags. For the rest of you? Well, it's the weekend to go do whatever you want. Survival -

That Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - April 11, 2024April 11, 2024

Let's do some brain drippings shall we? Packers/Eagles/Brazil: Any suggestions as to who should be tortured to death at the end of the game due to a spelling error? The Friday night tilt means that we'll have 7(?) featured games (Thursday, Friday, three on Sunday and Monday doubleheader(?)) the first weekend. I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdxPIrQZjYw Which is to say, tonight is night 4 of 7 gigs in 8 days. (Unfortunately, my Friday rehearsal fell through, or else it would have been 8 straight.) Is it something I want to do? Yes, but it doesn't help when I'm running the morning job, or yesterday, still putting in

So that was a week, huh? We laughed, we cried, we pondered what we had done wrong in life to merit the mental picture of Mark Davis shitting in a pot of soup. This part of the draft is even harder to predict, because: 1. Each guess is based on the guesses

Well Gentlebeings, tonight is the culmination of a season of hard work, sweat and exasperation. But enough about my last bowel movement.
