Day Drinking ‘Cause it’s Too Damn Hot Open Thread

I walked several kilometres (it’s a unit of measurement) earlier, did some damn laundry, some damn crossword puzzle and now I’m out of ideas. I know you guys are psyched for my Canuck-centric observations on the Pan-Am Games so here goes…

 

We got our highest medal total of all time! It was probably a quarter of what the U.S. racked up ( I don’t math outside work) but progress is progress.

We won the silver in basketball by being totally out-classed by the Brazilian squad. However! The semi-final game we won in OT vs. the damn Americans [shakes fist] behind Jamal Murray’s (“class” of Kentucky 2016) 22 points in the 4th and beyond. I’ve long felt that Canada should be far more successful at the international level given our proximity to You Know Who. There has been a shit ton of talent coming out of the Toronto area and British Columbia the last 15 years or so. If just a fraction of these guys played for the national team once in a blue moon we could compete against anyone-not a “Dream Team” but you know. Actually, I’m sure we could spank the 2004 version. What the hell happened there? Anyway, the thing that sticks in my gullet is that this victory came under Steve Nash’s general manager-ship. Steve Nash is the guy that turned down nearly every single invitation to represent his country when given the chance. Fuck him. I’m sure the program would be at least a half dozen years ahead of where it is now if he’d bothered to show.

It looks like we’ve got ourselves a world class sprinter on our hands! Andre De Grasse (Andre “from” Grasse to you non-French speakers) won the 100, 200, and should have had a gold in the relay but a team mate stepped on a line and was disqualified. He’s but 20 years old and is nowhere near filling out his physique. The way I see it, he’ll be able to compete in the next three Olympic games. He’s got a wind-aided 9.75 under his belt. He reeks of potential. You read it here first boys and girls.

Enough of this-there is Red Knot shiraz to be consumed!

Edit: I added an image to prouperly reflect the centre-al theme of this poust.  -Countler

Welp, I can’t sleep. Is this where we’re doing the Rick and Morty liveblog?

What did you think of episode 1? I enjoyed it but can definitely see why the creators were dubious.

King Hippo

I enjoyed it BURP quite a bit.

I ran 7 miles today (inside on a treadmill… fuck running in 90 degrees). Feel like I’ve earned my Sam Adams summer variety pack.

I think I saw a penguin out there today.

Hallucinations are common with the combination of heat stroke and day drinking.

Is that GIF from one of those little fake towns they set up to test nuclear bomb effects?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It was from a horror movie, but I like your horror story better.

You better Knot talk about Shiraz again!

This heat is warping my brain. Christ, I can’t even rally my alcoholic friends to go to the bar, talk about an awkward moment.

I think I’m going to put a five mile walk in before I get the drankin’ started. After the ballgame last night and factoring in what I’m making for dinner today – oh kids, ohhh kids – it’s basically a necessity. Cheers everyone!

FWIW, I agree that Canada should be better on the world stage at basketball. Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.

ballsofsteelandfury

Completely agree.

King Hippo

I am happy anytime the Canucks rise up and beat the Americans at anything, eh?

In solidarity, here’s a good song by a new Canadian band, complete with a banjo:

I would start accepting wedding invitations again. Well, CERTAIN invitations.

I think Steve Nash is recapturing his Canadian-ness (Canadianity? Canadaciousness?) now that he has fitness centers he has to fill…

I’m going to invent a cologne called “Potential”. I’ll also create a discount version of the same and call it “Desperation”.

Just age it for 5 years. 3 years for the NFL Signature line.

You know, I didn’t want to say anything, but it was RIGHT THERE.

I thought it was going to be an Andre De Grasse Tyson joke.
