Has It Been That Long…? Open Thread

Hey there kids, it’s your Absent Stepfather, Darkest Timeline Zach Morris.  I was looking back fondly at the earlier days of this wonder site of dreams and wishes, and saw that the All-Star Game last season was our very first live blog here.  It really got me thinking about what we’re doing here, and why.

When this site was created, I never actually intended it to be a replacement for KSK.  It was a place where people who didn’t want to put up with the Nat Turners of the world could go to write our own posts and keep out the riff-raff.  It functioned that way at first, as a kind of on-the-side project.

When KSK kerploded after the season, we had a couple of options.  We could let all of you disenfranchised weirdos go off and make dick jokes and post boob gifs on other sites, or we could expand the site here to allow everyone a fun place to hang out.

And so, Football To The Groin was born.  (Wait, we called it WHAT?) We definitely experienced some growing pains, and have had our share of issues, like any startup.  We’ve also done all of this without asking you guys for money, or using ads to pay for server space or site upgrades.  I think it’s important to keep this site as an independent beast, and somewhere that you are proud to go.

All of this is due to the friendships that I developed at KSK, and I would never disparage the authors and creators at KSK by saying that we’re better.  We’re DIFFERENT.  This isn’t a job for any of us.  It’s a passion project that we keep afloat because we want it to succeed.

So here’s to another year of dick jokery.  Thank you guys and gals for sticking with us.  We’re going to upgrade the look of the site soon and we’ll keep trying to improve the place as we go to help make this the friendliest, most accepting football dick joke blog on the interwebz.  Tell your friends, bring your neighbors, and let’s make this year the year Door Flies Open blows up!

(Then, maybe I can sell the joint.)

So that something good I was going to drink: Cerveceria Calavera Morning Star Breakfast IPA. I think the thing that makes it “breakfast” is that there’s oatmeal in it, which, okay, sure. Really well-rounded, definitely more sweetness than your average IPA, hops are more fruity than bitter.

Ryan is really pushing that pamphlet that say the Republican Core Values. He’s trying to ensure that at least one will survive so the New Republican Party can rebuild themselves in 2028 after Trump and Cruz has destroyed the Current Republican Party after losing to Clinton in ’16 and ’20 and Pelosi in ’24 and ’28.

Unsurprised

I’m trying to get my gay and minority friends to consider a wholesale takeover of the Republican party. If we don’t, it’ll die out.

Frankly, I’m pretty goddamn sick of being ignored and taken for granted by the Dems just because I won’t vote Republican. Nanny-state leftist socialism isn’t going to do any better for us than Right-wing paternalism. There’s a reason that socialism is only implemented in the most homogenous and pretty exclusionary countries in the world. We have a better chance of making due without anyone’s “help” is they equally leave us the fuck alone and don’t, you know, economically or physically bomb the fuck out of our communities.

Nancy Pelosi might be a bit old to run for office at 84 though I could totally see her winning reelection at age 88.

Not to mention that the Founders had a very, VERY narrow interpretation of what “speech” meant; and, of course, the freedom of religion horseshit was just to get papist Maryland to ratify the Constitution. They certainly didn’t mean every religion.

From the r/NFL Eagles roast:

“I remember one time I visited Philadelphia, just last year actually. I visited most of the popular tourist spots: Independence Hall, The Liberty Bell, and Franklin Square. I also decided to hit up an Eagles game, seeing as I would be in town for one (Dolphins, I think it was). I left the 3 tickets I had for the game on the dashboard as I ran in for gas on my way to the game. When I returned to my car, I was heartbroken to see my windshield shattered and 4 tickets on the dashboard.”

So, uh, up here north of the 49th, the Internet is exploding because our dipshit Tenors felt it appropriate to change the national anthem lyrics to include “All Lives Matter” at the All-Star Game.

Paul Ryan: Do you have to ask? We don’t do anything! We can’t agree to do anything! I tried to get Unanimous Consent to wish Billy the 67-year old janitor a Happy Birthday, but the Republicans wanted an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood and the Democrats wanted to propose an amendment to give Hillary immunity for losing the Nuclear Football just in case. Who would like us?!
Tapper: Are you crying?
Ryan (crying): Yes! Boehner wasn’t crying because he was emotional. He was crying due to the trauma of trying to run this place.

Every so often when I’m looking at words, the novelty center of brain goes off and I stare that word as if I’ve never encountered it before.

Today that word was “matter.” It happened after I make a witty word play joke about Mike Huckabee saying “Male Lives Matter” because his sons are super fat and thus have lots of matter.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That happens to me when I’m looking at tables full of “yes” and “no” entries. But only for the “yes” ones. The “no” ones remain normal. Guess I’m not drinking enough Bud Light. #upforanything

I just realized that if I were to watch this atrocity of an “all-star” “game” then I would be forced to admit I dislike the Small Bears slightly less than the SAWX, and as a #BFIB in good standing, I would have no choice but #Seppuku.

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

I mentioned this in my very first post but I’ll briefly reiterate. I was a longtime lurker at KSK for probably two years and was devastated the day it shut down. (NOW what would I do at work instead of doing work?) I don’t remember who mentioned DFO but it was like a light in the darkness of boredom for me. With that fresh start I decided to quit lurking and join this little group… And while I still don’t feel like I measure up to the cool kids (too many to list) you guys have always made me feel welcome and for that I thank you.

I can remember when I found out about this website. I only found out about the Great KSK Exodus just before the football season started, so I pretty much walked into a ghost town of a website. Watching the first football game was sad because it was only about five people in the thread (think the last home games of the 1995 Houston Oilers, and then divide it by 20). Sad that I only had one great year of watching football with you fine people.

Then someone messaged me this website (and I have pointed some lost souls this direction when I have ventured into the Website of the Damned). Its hard to put into words without rambling or going all feelingsly on y’all. Its just nice not being left behind for once.

Thanks for opening the door for me.
