ballsofsteelandfury - May 18, 2024May 18, 202489

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. *** Today, I am doing quick hit previews of teams playing in the Summer of Soccer tournaments. Strap yourselves in... *** Brasil National Women's

Diet Lesser Footy Weekend

King Hippo - May 18, 2024May 17, 2024119

No, this is not a #HippoLyf reference, I am still a fat fuck who will remain such. Just...not much in the way of viewing. Our Kraut pals at Treyverkeusen look to wrap up their "Invincibles" status in the Bundesliga, home against Augsburg (9:30, ESPN+). Nothing else matters there, to my knowledge. After

Sexy Friday – 20240517

Mr. Ayo - May 17, 2024May 17, 2024105

TGIF! One of the great benefits of writing this weekly post is I copy the last week's template. Which means I get to relive all the pictures from the last week. That benefit was totally annulled thanks to RTD's inspired topic for Request Line this week. Thank you, Tina! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBO8WF2vja4 Survival -

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY Well, that was something else. Oh, you're great, you're back. Yeah. Where'd you go? t's a long story, I'll explain once we get things started.

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: I’m All Right

Sharkbait - May 17, 2024May 17, 202416

...Don't nobody worry 'bout me. Thanks to Chris Kreider's third period hat trick to eliminate the Carolina Hurricanes Vichy Whalers, I am very much alright this evening. NHL playoffs are glorious and heart wrenching all at the same time. This week's drink was a last minute switch out, as the

Friday Morning Brain Farts/Carpenter Jorb

WCS - May 17, 2024May 17, 202415

In lieu of actual prose, here's some randomness to waste time while waiting for DJ 3000 to reload munitions from last night's operations the playlist. I semi-successfully managed to get through my first week as a 9-1-1 operator without causing any serious harm. So, that's a plus. Somehow I've managed to

Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - May 16, 2024May 16, 2024133

Just feast your eyes on that glorious 100th year throwback Giants uniform. It's got everything-crisp lines, easy-to-see numbers for the older fans, primary colors out the ying yang... Okay fine, they look far more like a Canadiens jersey that Howie Morenz may have worn back in 1924. I will not be

The following are things that have actually happened to me on the trains this week. They are pretty dumb. These are my stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8lDYrvTILc -So, Senorita Weaselo and I were getting on the train back to her place after I had successfully gotten her to play for the school's strings concert.

Camping Adventures II: The Search for Spork: Tuesday Open Thread

Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - May 14, 2024May 14, 2024105

We're going camping this weekend. I hate camping. My ancestors camped for 40 fucking years in the desert because they were complaining dickholes who reverted to idolotry at the drop of a hat. Camping was punishment, and the intervening 3000 years of Jewish history have been a relatively steady march away from
