Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - July 23, 2024July 23, 202486

Hello, friends, Larry King here. I know it has been some time since we were on the air; I was otherwise occupied with my new spouse. That's right; Cupid struck me with his arrow once again, even through the heavy-gauge aluminum sidewalls of my cryogenic storage pod. So I am

Game Time Decision - July 23, 2024July 22, 202449

Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last 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:Every man has his

ArmedandHammered - July 22, 2024July 22, 202488

Hello every one, I am on vacation in beautiful Door County Wisconsin if cherries and whitefish are your thing, you will be in heaven. No heat wave here, although the locals did complain about it getting to 90F here last week. Today is a nice cool 75 with a nice

Horatio Cornblower - July 22, 2024July 21, 2024127

I was trying to work on a different topic but it wasn't working to my exacting standards and seemed likely to age badly, so I had it step down from this week's topic nomination and reached into my 'Suggested Topics' file cabinet and pulled one from frequent contributor Rikki-Tikki-Deadly. This week

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Sausage Ragu and homemade everything.

yeah right - July 21, 2024July 19, 2024232

Good morning and welcome back everyone. In what is now becoming standard operating procedure, I'm banging this shit out at work on a Friday just before post time on Sunday. The horses are on the track! There are no more easy days at the old job site any more and I think that

Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 21: Watch AFL!

ballsofsteelandfury - July 20, 2024July 20, 2024212

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

Nothing to Say Saturday – Open Thread

King Hippo - July 20, 2024July 18, 2024110

Pardon me, but I have nothing to say. Talk amongst yourselves. Or don't. The floor is yours. Please come back soon, footed ball.

Mr. Ayo - July 19, 2024July 19, 202496

TGIF! After last week's post my algorithm has been feeding me lots of bamboo information. Didn't realize BIG BAMBOO had such an active marketing department. Anyway, sports are back! The Open, Tour De France, and baseball. Ok, well kind of back. Survival - Personal Edition Speaking of The Open, let's say you

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Emotional Support Drinking

Sharkbait - July 19, 2024July 19, 202441

Happy Friday, hopefully not many of you are affected by Crowdstrike nuking the internet overnight. If you are, I hope the fallout is limited to not being able to work versus not being able to get on a plane and travel. Either way, at least I know if I have

Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - July 18, 2024July 18, 2024147

First things first. The verdict for a certain driver that went down for the count in Wawa is in. He's on the PUP list with a blown ACL. (they happen outside of sports?) One fun thing (in retrospect) to do is figuring out the logistics angle when something like this

CFL Beat: Week 7

The Maestro - July 18, 2024July 21, 202457

I've almost made it through two weeks of summer camp, and as a treat, I intend to go to the REDBLACKS game on Friday night and drink a copious amount of beer while sitting on the Lansdowne hill. Buying a ticket is, of course, the best move, but there's a
