Hooray! It's Friday finally. This week's drink is brought to you by my bartender friend. I remembered I still had some homemade orgeat in my fridge from when we got together a while ago and not wanting to waste it I was hell bent on utilizing it this week. Though

I Got Your (Basket) Balls Right Here! A Thursday Open Thread

scotchnaut - March 27, 2025101

I still think that the opening weekend is the best time to time to watch ball just like so many others but this second weekend features some more gritty matchups that have a better chance to feature tighter games. Was it just last Saturday that featured blowouts galore? (I can't

GHOSTS ON THE GROUND: CEMETERY-4

DJ TAJ - March 27, 2025March 25, 202547

Define opulent. Hey, what's that kid doing to that chicken? Only one goal today. Jump in the Honda and traverse the downtown Los Angels freeways on a mid Tuesday morning. If all goes well headed back home before 1:00. Famous last words. You ever drive the 110 North to downtown? The mania burns fierce and

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: And Now, Senor Curses Out ANOTHER One of His Teams. Or, Actually, All of Them.

Senor Weaselo - March 26, 2025March 26, 202559

Quick! Only one 1 or 2 seed did not make the Sweet 16. Guess who? Yeah, it was St. John's. That's pretty much all you need to say. In a tournament that has been largely bereft of upsets they get to be the lolcow, the only top 8 seed with no

Not Quite Opening Day: Tuesday Open Thread

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - March 25, 2025March 25, 202574

It's almost Opening Day, sports fans! OK, so technically there are already two games in the books, because why not spot the Dodgers a two-game lead? I try not to be a Cliche Middle Aged White Guy when it comes to baseball, because 1. Nobody likes C.M.A.W.G., and 2. Traditional Baseball had

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:You see what power

ArmedandHammered - March 24, 2025March 24, 2025106

I hope everyone is not feeling too bloated from the feast of basketball games this past weekend and may all your brackets be winners (somehow). I myself was able to only enjoy a few games due to my HOA. And my role as HOA President. And a resident member of

DFOing Good

Horatio Cornblower - March 24, 2025March 22, 2025150

OK, so admittedly my timing isn't the best on this one. Last Monday, as I justifiably celebrated with a few beers with my father and brother at The Harp in romantic Willimantic, CT was St. Patrick's Day. While I was coming back from those beers, (2-3 Guinness, and yes, I did

Don T - March 23, 2025March 23, 2025103

Good evening. The thinking goes that it's the offseason, time to slack off and just crawl up in a ball of avoidance until the NFL Draft. Up here in DFO, it's at least 2 posts per day. I've been tied up with a Spanish peli rosa about time travel and Y2K

Hello and happy Sunday everyone. Welcome back. Y'all digging the March Madness? I was gonna do this whole thing about the colleges in San Diego and how to tell them apart from a former SD residents point of view and it was going to tie into the March Madness and everything but then

ballsofsteelandfury - March 22, 2025March 22, 202553

It is March Madness and I'm here for it! I have absolutely no rooting interests whatsoever, so it's fun to see how teams self destruct and rescue defeat from the jaws of victory. So, aside from college basketball, what is there to talk about? Current Events We are now in the Second
