Your “Second Verse…” Friday Evening Open Thread

…Same as the first.

Perhaps I’m getting old and predictable.  But with less than a month left in the NFL post-season we gotta get it in while we still can.

I had considered waxing philosophic tonight about that orange guy at 1600 who is about to get us into a major “conflict” to make up for his small hands and small pe….

(ahem)

Crap, does that mean I gotta start dodging the Secret Service now in addition to the NSA and the IRS?  Canada is looking better and better every day.

But I tried to warn all of you in the early fall of ’16.  Narcissism combined with no experience and no sense of diplomacy was always going to be a bad combination.  Just saying.

But it’s Friday.  We don’t want to talk about that tonight.  So let’s have some fun.

It’s Divisional Weekend.  And even though I more or less did the same theme last week for the Wildcard Weekend, we’re doing it again.  And you’ll just have to live with it.

(plus I just happen to enjoy looking at cheerleaders)

((well, usually))

(((do you think that’s Blair Walsh’s daughter?)))

*GS @ LAC is listed as being on ESPN but it is not showing on my online guide.  And there is no way LAL @ Dallas will be over by that tip time.  Could be a regional split I suppose.  Check your listings.

And since Green Bay no longer has an official squad of cheerleaders, but sometimes do use high school squads (“underage” is the word that jumps out at me)…. well, I’m not about to go to jail for them, right?  Yeah, exactly.

So here….have these.

Love ya’s.

A Somber Last Minute Addition To This Post

I just learned only minutes ago that Neil Peart, the drummer and creative force behind Rush, the gentleman who inspired me to take to the drums in the first place…  Died on Tuesday from brain cancer.  And while I was never a very good drummer if I’m being honest, I still got enjoyment out of it.

I am sad.

Neil, you will be missed.

RIP, Sir.  I hope you didn’t suffer.

yeah right

I’m going grocery shopping while wearing my SKOL Vikings T shirt tomorrow.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

I wonder.

Beerguyrob

Here is what is on the line for me:

– If the Vikings win, I have a 50-50 chance of going to the NFC Championship in Seattle
– If the Niners win, I have WineWife’s permission to go to SF for the game.

yeah right

I’m on board with that Seahawks hosting shit.

yeah right

In fact we can talk tickets.

Beerguyrob

Oh, we can’t. WineWife is on board with going to that game.

SonOfSpam

YouTube is on random autoplay, currently playing Sober from Tool. HAHAHAHAHA. FUCK OFF YOUTUBE.

I’m making myself feel better by reading what everyone’s said tonight & this week, and watching old SCTV’s on YouTube.

I have moved on to Dark & Stormy’s. Mood is improving.

SonOfSpam

Rum is a fine cure for…whatever.

Beerguyrob

I can’t tell the full story yet, but suffice to say I had a student square up on me this week. I successfully diffused the situation, but now the investigations begin because the kid drew his own blood.

Next week is going to FUCKING SUCK!

yeah right

Whoa

Beerguyrob

Yep. It’s a good thing there are about a half-dozen witnesses.

SonOfSpam

Jesus.

Fucking hell, man. Call me as a character witness.

Actually don’t. But still, all the best.

Beerguyrob

Thanks.

Anytime someone says teaching isn’t that hard they’re gonna get a shot in their ego or kidneys.

yeah right

Shots of Bulleit.

I ain’t scared.

West Coast!

CHEERS!

yeah right

It is ancient Viking custom to take that shitty fruitcake that Aunt Marrgrite gave you and throw it on the fire.

The pint of whisky gave it a yuletide glow!

Then we slay the fruitcake!

SonOfSpam

Is San Francisco the fruitcake (he asked rhetorically because duh)?

yeah right

let’s just play another game after this one.

yeah right

On this the eve of battle..

please note I stole all of this shit from “odinsgift.com”

Send them to Valhalla

Sword arms we raise
Steel in hand
Odin be praised
as we take back our land

Down from the sky
Ax in grip
Valkyries fly
ready to shred and rip

Steel on steel
Man on Man
We don’t yield
Don’t take commands

Odin be praised
Valhalla awaits
Sword arms raised
Open thy gates

Steel on bone
Men fall with honor
Send them home

Send them to Valhalla

SKOL motherfuckers!

SonOfSpam

HAMMER OF THE GODS

So after feeling great and confident and (for the first time in my life looking pretty good!), I had a setback tonight and had to go in to the clinic. My drains started going berzerk and blood moved around weird into my upper abdomen and I grew what looked like a third boob right in the middle of my chest, like the hooker in “Total Recall!”Have to monitor it every two hours tonight and go back in the morning. We wrapped my chest tight as shit with a second reinforced binder to try and force it back down. I have to go back in the morning. If there’s no change, they may have to aspirate it.

“Ol’ Jed’s a millionaire!”

Beerguyrob

Damn son. Stay strong. Remember – you can also watch the Patriots lose out next year too.

yeah right

So your body is rebelling against the tubes and is creating excess fluid?

Glad you engaged the doctor.

Hell yeah, stay strong!

Col. Duke LaCross

I’ve been pretty lucky, my surgeon’s nurse assistant and I have been pretty close friends since we were kids and she’s been encouraging my to update her every night with my progress. So she was already on the “batphone” so to speak. She stepped up huge tonight.

yeah right

It’s nice to have an angel floating around.

yeah right

Sounds like you’re in good hands.

We love you brother. Be well.

Col. Duke LaCross

Thanks buddy.

Mr. Ayo

The good news is that it’s easier to lose blood than gain blood.

Best of luck.

SonOfSpam

Sorry man…please hang around for another 20+ years. We need you.

yeah right

Of course the natural reaction to losing a drumming legend is; who was the best drummer you ever saw perform live?

The Professor was top 3 easy.

Bill Bruford was in there – 2 times with Yes and once with King Crimson -.

I’m gonna have to work on the 3rd because I’ve seen a shitload of live shows.

I’ll even defer to our DFO drumline of which we have several.

Who was the best drummer you ever saw live?

Sharkbait

Dave Grohl. Foo Fighters, but he did drum a couple songs when I saw them so that counts right?

yeah right

Hell yeah, Nirvana alone counts.

SonOfSpam

Never saw Nirvana, but Taylor Hawkins with the Foo Fighters is also excellent.

yeah right

I think this exact video was on Pitchfork today and I’m both stealing it and giving a nod to them for this track. We right brothers were all in attendance at the Irvine, CA show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJoTxywiRG0

SonOfSpam

Genuinely depressed about this today, so thank you for your service.

Beerguyrob

I went to both a Buddy Rich and an Ed O’Shaughnessy drum clinic in my teenaged years. Those guys knew how to beat the skins.

yeah right

We need this story Beerguy!

‘Robert Kraft’.”

yeah right

Jerry Marotta played along with Peter Gabriel, it didn’t hurt that Tony Levin was on bass.

Saw this at the Hollywood Amphitheater in 1982? give or take.

Jerry could play.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYfdC-kELY4

SonOfSpam

Peart live.

Never saw Keith Moon or John Bonham.

So it’s Neil Peart, and thank you for not making me choose among the three.

Senor Weaselo

Terry Bozzio when U.K. did their reunion tour.

yeah right

Bozzio played drums when I saw Zappa in 1979 and he played for Missing Persons in 1984. Good call.

Senor Weaselo

Evening lizard people. I started playing Gran Turismo 5/teaching Senorita Weaselo how to play Gran Turismo 5. She has not played before. It went… well I got the first license and she also did a bunch of the tests?

yeah right

One of my favorite original Playstation games was Grand Turismo.

I spent all of my victory earnings on a Nissan Skyline and crashed that fucker EVERY time I raced it.

Senor Weaselo

Sounds like what I did, except with an Impreza because it was better on grass. And I was on grass a lot.

The octopus looks like Cthulu – if it was made by a 5 year old on LSD

I watched The Irishman on Netflix last night.

Spoiler
He’s Irish.

Mr. Ayo

Wait, which one?

Brick Meathook

Which one? It was three fucking hours long, with 75 year old versions of Travis Bickle, Michael Corleone, and those other guys. It was a good movie though.

Mr. Ayo

So… those other guys? I don’t have time to watch that.

Brick Meathook

I think Winston Wolf was “The Irishman,” even though he seemed a little Hebrew to me. They were all portraying Italians so go figure.

Senor Weaselo

Did Itchy run afoul of him?

yeah right

Even though the de-aging process was semi successful they couldn’t make Deniro’s actual body and movements look younger than 80.

The scene were he gets tough with the guy?

I can move better than that after 5 knee surgeries.
