ballsofsteelandfury - August 3, 2024August 3, 2024

I don't know about y'all, but I'm enjoying the SHIT out of these Olympics. My strategy has been to watch the replays on Peacock for particular sports and to watch the surfing live. All sports and no fluff with really minimal commercials. The only thing I've missed was Colin Jost

Greetings DFO family! How goes it? I come to you from work again, late in the day on a Friday and it feels like I'm walking through a goddamn war zone. Chaos reigns! How are the Olympics treating you so far? I thought Gaga was great and I loved the metal shit. Was that Gojira?

Seriously, if you're not excited about the Olympics, I feel bad for you! I am an unapologetic Olympics whore. During the workweek, I was watching the women's handball competition. Was I doing it to avoid work or because I love the Olympics so much that I'll watch any random event?

Seriously, if you're upset about the lack of sports this time of year, you absolutely need to be watching the AFL and the CFL. There's no excuse. Today's topic is "shit we had/did when I was growing up that kids today will never have." People today see that picture and think, "why

Good morning all!Sorry about inducing a drooling fit first thing in the morning. This post today may be a bit shorter than normal. Stop applauding, that shit ain't funny. It could be shorter because work has been absolute chaos lately. I sure as hell won't get into the full details but it involves

You're not getting much from me today. I did not write this post ahead of time, as I usually do, and I just came back from playing golf (badly) in the heat. I'm so tired, I have no energy to bitch at y'all for criticizing my beloved Marika and her slutty

Thank you to Don T for his excellent post this morning that reminded me, "Oh shit, I have a post to write!" Not just a post, mind you, a SPITE post. Because I'm still pissed about taking down Marika's buffet spread picture. I hope you enjoyed today's pro-Trump banner pic. In fact,

Don't let it be said that I don't listen. Last week, some people wanted me to change the banner image. I listened. This may be taken as a passive-aggressive thing from me, but I assure you it's not. It's openly aggressive. Just to make it clear: Also, So, every Saturday, I'll be posting

Good morning all! That banner image caught your attention didn't it? I hoped it would. After writing, cooking, researching and documenting these here posts for over ten years now it was inevitable that some of the components would evolve by sheer repetition alone. In some cases the improvements were definitely intentional. The lighting, staging
