Your Tuesday Night Open Thread

There’s so much sports thingies going on! College ball has Virginny, The OSU, Mich, NCST, KU, ISU, UNC and MD. NBA-wise CLE is playing. In the hockey MTL, OTT, STL, CHI, DAL, LA and PIT are ice bound. I’m all-in with “Pete’s Christmas” which is the Canadian non-union re-telling of Groundhog Day from a December 25th perspective. To each his own.

I’m watching “Once Upon The Time In The West” for the first time ever (I know I’m a Hollywood guy you’d think I’d seen it but I haven’t). That likeable Henry Fonda: what an asshole

Porky Prime

Feel like a warm bucket of crap…hopefully not the flu. Still, just popping in to wish you well, WCS. Nite all.

Beerguyrob

It’s mandarin orange season. Two of those a day should at least perk up your system.

WCS

5-1 Ice Stillers wooooooooooo

Brick Meathook

I hope all is well, WCS.

3-1 Ice Stillers 2nd intermission.

Sill Bimmons

I did. Thanks.

Let me know how things are going.

WCS

Working out blows severed elephant dick, but, the post-workout shower is a gift from God.

Sill Bimmons

3-0 Ice Stillers WOO

Brick Meathook

SHE’S FAKING IT

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Meh, who cares? HE isn’t.

Old School Zero

What should I write about for tomorrow, do you think?

Sill Bimmons

Stratego. Everybody loves Stratego.

Old School Zero

Board/Card Games might actually be a great topic.

ballsofsteelandfury

I would love that. Love those games!

Don T

Those little numbers made Stratego feel like Special Ed. chess.

Brick Meathook

MINERS ARE KEY TO THE EARLY GAME

Fucking fascists!

Jags to London update!

Beerguyrob

These old pulp books, or novel series like “The Executioner” would be another great topic for OSZ.

Some of the titles are even relevant to our interests, like The Factory.

So apparently this is what it looks like when choosing a Princess Leia bra:

WCS

Alright, folks, I’ll give you an update. Wifey met with her midwife as her shift
(stickin’ together is what good midwives do http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/media/framegrabs/season5/s05e06/s05e06_151.jpg).
They ran some tests, and found a heartbeat, so that’s good news. She feels normal (at least in terms of being pregnant “normal,” which is aslo a good sign.

As of now, things are looking positive, but, we’re by no means out of the woods yet. Essentially, we wait and see how it goes. Not ideal, but, certainly better than where we were ~20 hours ago.

I just want to genuinely thank yinz for your thoughts and support. It means more than you think. We really appreciate it.
That’s what makes the DFO crew one of the goodin’s: rallying around and sticking with your fellow dickjokers in tough times, and laughing at the Cleveland Browns. Seriously, I loathe seeing the Ravens winning a fifth-grade pinewood derby race, but that was fucking hilarious.

I’m about to hit the gym, because I feel like I’ve got about six weeks of nervous energy to get out. There’s also a Ice Stillers game at 22:30, because LATE NIGHT HAWKEY WOOOOOOOOOOOO WEST COAST TRIP.

I’ll be back later, and thanks again ya slapdicks.

Beerguyrob

We will take any positive news. Unlike the Browns.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Good. Our thoughts are with you.

Sill Bimmons

Clearly I’ve missed something here.

What happened?

WCS

Short answer: wifey called from work last night (overnight shift at the hospital), thinking she was having a miscarriage. Jury still out, but, signs are looking more positive than negative now.

Sill Bimmons

I had no idea.

You know where to find me if you need anything at all.

laserguru

We will welcome all encouraging news at this point.
You have our collective good thoughts WCS. Our best.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Take a look at the open football thread for the full story, everything happened later.

Glad to hear good news. Hope it continues!

Pitt hanging with the Boilermakers.

I just finished playing the zombies map on the new Call of Duty with some guys who are clearly either unemployed or else employed as beta testers for the new Call of Duty zombies game, because they carried may ass through all sorts of insane shit.

If you like zombies maps the Morg City map is the shit. Good thing I took tomorrow off and it’s going to be rainy and shitty here, because I’ve got a pretty good idea what I’m doing tomorrow.

Besides crying and masturbating of course.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You saved the best for last.

Brick Meathook

FUN BRICK MEATHOOK FACT: I once stood in line at a Starbucks two places behind George Carlin. THIS HAS BEEN ANOTHER FUN BRICK MEATHOOK FACT

WCS
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Hey; you guys doing OK?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Gotta say; that is one of the best ‘brushes with fame’ I’ve heard.

Horatio Cornblower

You can spell ‘Mark’ with a ‘k’ or, if you’re a heretic, a ‘c’. When I order at Starbucks they always ask “With a ‘c’ or a ‘k’?” and, because I’m just a total dickweed, I almost always respond “with an ‘M'”

I’m pretty sure I drink a lot of spit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m a dickweed too, but when I hear other dickweeds in front of me order by the time I get to the counter my oddball order is enough grief for the help.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I lived in a tiny town; Olathe, Colorado. My mom saw John Wayne in the tiny grocery store when he was going to locations for the filming of True Grit. Her memory of that event is gone, like tears in the rain, at a Cleveland Browns game. Later that week we got to see Glenn Campbell play some songs on a semi trailer bed in the huge metropolis of Delta, Colorado.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I was very young, but I’m pretty sure my mom was slooosh over Glen.

Brick Meathook

Back in the day, all moms were slooosh over Glen Campbell.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

cool storie bro.

laserguru

I’m sure I’ve shared my Family Feud story (5 time undefeated champs woot) but during our second taping they were doing a 100th birthday show for George Burns, still alive at the time. I saw Betty White, Joann Worley and Milton Berle but actually rode in the elevator with George Burns himself.
I told him I always respected and admired his work and he told me “Thank you young man”.

Now that’s a cool story. I also had Luther Vandross and Little Richard as passengers in my taxi cab. At different times of course.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

THAT actually is a cool story.

Brick Meathook

Actually, yeah right (if that is indeed your real name), I’ve never heard the story about you being on “Family Feud.” YA GOTTA TELL US

theeWeeBabySeamus

BTW…anyone heard how Missus WCS is doing?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I asked below and no response.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Going right into teh suck of NCSU basketball, without a break from teh suck of NCSU football, is very trying on one’s psyche. So glad I ordered my season baseball tix today….so as not to miss a moment of teh suck of NCSU baseball.

And now I gotta look at both U*NC and UMd in the top ten.

Christ, euthanasia should be legal.

laserguru

I’m in serious scramble mode to find something to watch when I get home.

Last night I recorded the game but watched episode 9 of The Leftovers followed immediately by episode 8 of Fargo followed by the hilarity of the Cleveland loss.

My mind is still all explodey

blordinaryfagicmox

Your local public broadcasting station assuredly has some wholesome entertainment for the whole family.

nomonkeyfun

Fucking drummers.

Beerguyrob

The Muppets has Dave Grohl.

blordinaryfagicmox

Someone overpays for pitching, what a surprise. Baseball offseasons are even boring.

Sill Bimmons

Ice Stillers go for their first win in San Jose since 1997.

Jagr had already been in the NHL for five years by then.

Dude is just superhuman.

http://www.penguins-hockey-cards.com/players/jaromir_jagr_209.jpg

blordinaryfagicmox

Jagr and Lemiuex played together. Lemiuex is now an owner, and has been for what, 8 years? And Jagr is still in the league.

Sill Bimmons

To be fair to Mario, there was the whole cancer/degenerative spinal column thing.

Sill Bimmons

Gyoza are good.

Repeat; is it OK?

We hope it is going well.

I actually am watching PHI/LAK because I like car crashes.

Lakers, damn,

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Oh, I thought you meant Aklavik Airport.

King Hippo

Like I said, NC State hoops = POOP

LSU came back from NYC and promptly lost to Charleston, so that win no longer ameliorates the stench

King Hippo

I don;t see teh ACC doing so hot in this challenge

King Hippo

The opponent ain’t U*NC or Jim Calhoun-era UConn so FUCK THAT NOISE!

/you’re new to teh conference, you’ll get used to teh rules

Horatio Cornblower

If Jim Calhoun ran for governor of CT he would win in a landslide.

I do not say that as a compliment.

Fun fact, Jim and I used to get our hair cut at the same place. It turns out I’m a better tipper. Cheap Boston Yankee prick.

Unpopular TAEK time – I really dig Lenny Elmore

blordinaryfagicmox

I’ve been calling him Elmore Leonard this whole time. I’ve been making an idiot of myself!

Brick Meathook

I really dig Elmore Leonard

So… you see MST3K is coming back?

How else are you going to see him in the flesh, as it were.

Kobe’s last trip to Philly (his hometown)…13 points in the 1st quarter.

Tonight’s poem:

All my life
Has led
Up
To this moment
Where I can reach
The heights
Of Selfishness
And my teammates
Won’t
Say

I would pay him everything I have (about 37 bucks) if he grew out his hair into a sassy Kim Jong Un do.

He’s not Rodman-levels of crazy, just a prick.

Meechegan can suck its own ass. Which I’m sure they gladly would if’n they could.
