Your “Can You Stop Testing My Breaking Point?” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Quick NFL Hits:

• Nick Foles doesn’t care that Tawmmy didn’t shake his hand after the Superb Owl
  • Why should he? He’s the one that won the damn thing.I hope that when they meet next week for the preseason game, Foles just holds out his hand and asks him to kiss his ring
• Looks like the Donks DE Adam Gotsis GOT THIS, as the charges of rape against him were dropped earlier today
• .Who knows if this will still earn him a suspension or fine from Commissioner National Disgrace, as he has yet to consult the wheel
• DeAndre Hopkins got into it at a joint practice today with CB Jimmie Ward of the Niners.
  • Were there punches? APPARENTLY!
    • Bill O’Brien gave Hopkins the boot from practice, even though it looks pretty clear that Ward was the (obvious) instigator.

Rage Dump:

Yesterday was a rough day for me for a couple reasons, but I’ll give you guys the quick overview for your sake and really, my own:

• I was expecting a very light work day and quickly learned that would not be the case as a ton of unexpected things got dumped on me in the morning
• Despite all of that, I was hoping to take care of last night’s Open Thread duties, and last minute had to bail
  • Special thanks to tWBS for stepping up and doing a great job with such short notice
• Not long after that, one of my coworkers came over and let me know that my car had a flat tire in the parking lot
  • Calling AAA would mean staying late at work, and that wasn’t about to happen, so 30 minutes in the hot sun later, tire comes off, spare goes on
    • Luckily, there is a Discount Tire less than a mile from my work and I got a few minutes before they cut off walk-ins at 5:30
      • Big nail was sticking out the side of the tire, likely from the road construction that’s plagued my work commute for the last few month, but I’ve got the hazard coverage
      • An hour later, they couldn’t patch the tire and I could either drive out on an inferior tire, or wait until they got mine in “tomorrow.”
        • I still haven’t heard from them
• On my way home, a girl I was about to ask on a second date shocked me by letting me know that she put in her two weeks notice yesterday and is moving to THE NETHERLANDS for grad school right afterwards
• The six pack of beer that I bought, which was listed at $10 turned out to be $18, and I didn’t catch it until after I was home and saw the receipt
  • Not even close to being worth $10, unfortunately – Rare miss by Stone
• While putting groceries away, Roommate Commander did not seal a bag of frozen corn properly, and that decided to explode all over the kitchen

A shower beer and some time alone in my thoughts definitely brought me back up, but damn, that was a lot to come in such rapid succession. Thanks for listening if ya did.

What the Hell is on Tonight?!:

Nottttt a whole lot.

• Basedball:
  • OWAH NUMBAH ONE SAWX go to the “Passionate Fans” of Philly – 4pm PST on <strike>NESN</strike> ESPN
• Tennis
  • Western and Southern Open in the Nasty ‘Nati – Unable to find national broadcast

My day has been considerably better (thanks for asking) so far, but I will be spending my evening going to a city counsel meeting/open forum regarding more housing developments being added in my area, and I know that is going to be painful. Local politicians in the pocket of construction companies? NEVER! Will me going actually do any good? Probably not! But at least I’m trying, and that makes me feel a hell of a lot better.

Alright, enough of my bullshit. Have at it, folks!
