Sweet Sixteen Thursday Preview/Game Thread

Sweet madre de Christ, did anyone else have these donuts in the local grocery store growing up? What a cherished, delicious binge and shame trip down memory lane this picture takes me down.

3S Miami vs. 2S Villanova (7:10, CBS)

A highly intriguing game, by my standards. Two methodical coaches, two sides that kind of get overlooked, for different reasons. I think Da U’s da toughness inside will be the difference, though if Nova shoots from outside like it did the first weekend, they are pretty much unbeatable.

3W Texas A&M vs. 2W Oklahoma (7:37, TBS)

Damn it, why did they have to schedule the TWO GAMES I AM MOST INTERESTED IN for the same fucking window? Team Bonfire Cult is living on borrowed time, after their bananas comeback, 2OT win over the Fightin’ Kurt Warners. Oklahoma has the lethal look a potential national champion to me (spoiler alert, if’n I had the slightest bit of prognostication ability), but this could be a tough game for them.

5S Maryland vs. 1S Kansas (9:40, CBS)

Maryland is REALLY lucky that Hawaii shot like total ass in the 2nd half. Because the Turtles otherwise played like, really fucking terrible. Hopefully, they bring the other half of their schizo selves, or the Hippo TV gets turned of super early. Kansas bores me to death.

4W Duke vs. 1W Oregon (10:07, TBS)

It’s nauseating that anyone has to win this game, though it’s of some comfort that Boomer Sooner should wipe their asses with either. I ain’t staying up to reluctantly cheer for a bunch of rape enablers, or possibly see fucking Ted Cruz, Jr. prevail. Huzzah for the Ducks cheerleading squadron, though.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

So I wanted to get in more digital painting today but had to write HRTN. Got through that, then wanted to add a poll at the end. Spent far too much time trying to figure that out, before the DFO Big Guns stepped in and fixed it.

So that was my day.

2 more sleeps until Mother-in-law gets on her broom and rides away. This visit has felt like it has lasted about 100 years.

Shit, I just remembered that I sort of opened up here last night. Today actually went very, strangely well. Everything with wifey and the kid is good. We’re even getting a decent tax return. Managed to return the belt that was too big, but I idiotically took the tag off, and even got a refund for the difference on. Even Dook lost.

But at least equal in cuteness factor, right?

Yeah, pretty close at least.

Where’s the flask and pistol?

And purple camo pants.

Are You There, God?

It’s me, Sill Bimmons.

This new Batman vs. Superman movie really scares me, God. If this turbocharged diarrhea hose is successful we may never get away from fucking idiots like Hack Snyder completely fucking up iconic characters like Batman and Superman. Please let this abomination go full John Carter so Hollywood can go back to making films that are merely terrible and Hack Snyder can go back to his job at the Kinko’s.

I’ve given up on the pony. You’ve been kind of a dick about that.

Snyder hates Superman and he got this movie idea from Frank Miller, who fucking despises Superman. So, I’m not surprised B v S reviews are nothing but saying it’s a dumpster fire.

Look at his little ears!

The best outdoors. YUUUGE Outdoors.

FUCKING PERFECT.

How does a now-lapsed Catholic go from observing Good Friday as pious as possible 15 years ago, to going to see Mr. Lahey and fuckin’ Randy and drinking beer with a friend tomorrow?

Oh, well, that whole priest sex thing didn’t help…

Unsurprised

Three consecutive pedophile priests at my parish is my excuse.

WCS

That’s a good one. My mom officially checked out after the priest who had been there for 15 years, and was a genuinely good guy, was finally rotated out. His replacement was a Father from Boston, who, “had some issues in the past.”

Unsurprised

Oh, it gets better. The last one was a real piece of shit. Fucked with my brother’s friends. Some of their parents believed him, not them. He was also the APD chaplain and gave the mass for my grandmother when she died, a woman who opened that fucking parish. It’s why my mother’s mass was conducted by friend of hers at another parish. As far as I’m concerned, the one I grew up in doesn’t exist.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Both of your stories are fucked up; man, I am so glad I didn’t have to deal with that kind of thing.

JerBear50

Look, they’re not gonna get better at it if you don’t give them some feedback.

Unsurprised

I know this isn’t that, but doesn’t childbirth sometimes tear the perineum?

Sill Bimmons

Almost always. Just depends on the severity of the tear.

I should have drank the rye instead of eating all the cookies.

Could have been worse, you could have done both.

There’s still time.

I’d wager they didn’t realize how disturbing this would be.

Because they dipped their cookies in the rye….. so to speak.

God damn it. Why is Buzzfeed making sense? http://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/democrats-see-promise-and-peril-in-efforts-to-mobilize-latin#.pf3G0lwVE1

“Hispanics will be told that “this is the most important election in our lifetimes,” he said, arguing that they heard the same thing in 2008 and 2012, and they will vote but they won’t get “better wages” or “immigration reform.”

“And come January 20, there we will be, the Latinos, hat in hand, begging for the new president to appoint at least one Latino to the cabinet and to throw us a few other scraps,” he wrote.”

Unsurprised

“The efforts most activists and advocacy groups want involve messaging beyond immigration, and beyond a handful of traditional battleground states.”

Shit, I’m closer to Trump on immigration than the party. Frankly, immigration is the least important issue to every Hispanic person I’ve known and plenty are just as anti-immigrant as me.

Unsurprised

““obviously the wealthy donors do not believe we Latinos are capable of managing resources,” he wrote. “There will be no building of the Latino civic infrastructure. There will be no building of true Latino political power,” he added.”

Well … They’re right. We’ve had lots of time and exactly fuck-all to show for it in New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Texas.

Sill Bimmons

Not a close game in the bunch.

WCS

That just means tomorrow’s will all be nail-biters!

[every game is won by at least 35 points]

Ben Carson should really just stay away from everything:

@TheRealBenCarson

Thank you @TheView for having me on. Though we disagree on politics, only in America do we have platforms to discuss those differences.
