With world events what they have been this week, I find it particularly appropriate to feature Spoon:
What a delightful band, with amazing longevity. I hope they are Evertonians, but unlikely.
Arsenal are away to Crystal Palace to kick things off (7:30, NBCSN). Uncle Woy has at least temporarily taken Cenk Tosun off the Everton wage bill. Thank fuck for small miracles. Please Jeebus, let him score so they exercise their purchase option. Vile shite, Cenk.
Burnley at Chelski (10:00, NBCSN) is your featured match in the main window, because…Ugly American player? Who wants to see this dire match. Hippo’s Toffee’s are home to Brighton in a must-win fixture (GAMBLOR devotees take note, expect a response to that woeful showing at Anfield), or even United/Norwich or Wolves/Barcodes. All on Gold, all promise at least some degree of interest.
Spotlight dance is a real cracker, Redshite away to Mourinho’s Spurs (12:30, NBC). I have a vague sense that The Formerly Special One can finally put a 2019-20 loss on stupid pisshead Jurgen Klopp. The longer this unbeaten streak goes, the testier I gets. It’s also one of those matchups where Tottenham clearly need the win MOAR.
Moose Hornets/Cherries (9:00) and City away to Villa (11:30) are your NBCSN Sunday Funday duo. I mean, it’s worth having on in the background. I wouldn’t be fighting through a post-apocalyptic hellscape to get to a teevee box or nuthin.
European Leagues slowly get back into the swing, with a hefty Serie A slate on Sunday, Copa Lana Del Rey all weekend in Spain, and all French divisions back at it. The party is still missing the Germans, but they will eventually show up. With beer.
Y’all be good. The last full NFL weekend awaits.
Next thread is up and running.*

Does anyone else watch this Joe Pera show? It’s a delight.
Hey guys, what time is the Patriots gaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The first 136 HAs were warranted but those last three were over the line. I paid good money for these infrared Jammies and I feel cheated.
THOTS AND PRAY-UHS
“Thots? Where?” -GRONK
Cuse wrecked shit way back when. Now they’re 1-3 in the ACC and facing Virginny later today. It’s a long way down.

/hell, I’ll help you out. This is one of the most perfectly crafted songs I’ve ever come across. Rattlesnakes.

The world has caught up with Boeheim, and everyone but him and the Syracuse AD knows it.
Not to go all “bk109 Obligatory Contrary Response” on you, but they both know it as well and they don’t give a rat’s fuck.
That is indeed a bold strategy.
The Butler kid on Baylor is a small dude that can get to the hoop whenever he wants. This will come in handy in the tourney. Think Kemba Walker.

Hey, you’ve got a big sausage in your hands. Where are you going with toppings?
Relish. The answer is relish. Perverts.
ONIONS! on his belt just made a reference to Marques Haynes of the Globetrotters. We’re both old as hell because I know what he’s yakking about.
Lemme know if things get interesting and he makes a Marquis de Condorcet reference

The first half of Inter v. Atlanta today might be fun (NFL playoffs take precedence once they kick off), but the real fpooty match of the weekend is the Madrid Derby for the Spanish Supercup tomorrow!
Go Atleti! Fuck you Real!
Welcome to the futbol Madrid hate team Mistborn. Hippo, Balls, Don T and I are happy to have you. Fuck those fucks hard.
Pulisic got injured in practice recently, he’ll be out for a few weeks, and I don’t see why I should care what happens to Chelsea if Pukisic isn’t in the lineup
Also, everyone knows this is the best Spoon song:

I vote for “The Underdog” but many Spoon tunes is awesome.
JMU ded.
Future me is going to be real happy with current me. I bought extra polish sausages for stoner me. Mrs. Cola may not like the results though, however she lived with BC Dick for 20 yrs
When you start emitting fumes, which one ends up on the couch?
I strongly endorse this pre-meditated act of nasal warfare. It was only 15 years but it probably felt like 20 to her.
Wait, what? Context?
Siblings.
Yes, of course, we were all brothers and sisters of the sun.
We used to live on a polyamorous farm commune in the Yukon.
I’m on ‘Team Hot Italian’.*
*easy does it on the fennel, buddy. If I wanted the taste of licorice I’d buy fookin’ licorice.
As you would expect I am also on that team. And possibly hotter if it existed.
We had a power surge the other day and it blew up the motor on the filter to my fish tank.
Replacement bought, swapped out, installed and now I have a happy fish tank again.
Figured I could do a couple of productive things today before getting shit-all stupid.
yeah right: Hey, we got a surge over here. What are you gonna do?”
The Power Station: “Bang a Gong, Get it on!”
yeah right: ……

Bill Raftery is looking old. You have to wonder if he wears ONIONS! on his belt.
That was the style at the time. It’ll come back.
If Indiana holds on, I’ve made 130 smackers today.

Costco successful, polish sausage delicious. Next stop clothes shopping for Gigantor the toddler. These peach thc gummies are dangerously delish.
My current gummies are 3:1 CBD:THC and they are also peach flavored.
They are delightful.
I make my own edibles, for me a 1:5 CBD:THC ratio works the best!
And fuck anyone who says CBD doesn’t do anything. I’ve never taken CBD on its own without THC, but it absolutely changes the THC high and makes it less of a high and more of a painkiller.
In “You Can’t Touch The Ball With Your Foot” News, Baylor is up on Kansas early.
Any reason to think spurs break free of the limpid tentacles of packed Liverpudlian defense in the second half?
Trickeration in the under-JV Footy Championship!
And a DOINK!
Today in Teh Premiership Is Bananacakes – Leicester beat Soton 9-nil away a few months ago. Today, the 2nd-place Foxes…get an early lead…and then lose 2-1 to Saints. At home.
I finally remembered to ask…what exactly does “bk109” mean?
It’s his burger king ID. He does IT for them across Europe. Very proud.
Better get up and moving if I’m going to get in a breakfast and a grocery store run before game time.
Think I’ll make some carnitas and a pot of beans for Sunday Gravy tomorrow.
There’s plenty if you want to stop by.
You wish to fart in the general direction of Cheeseheads/Truthers??
Honestly? Either one are do a comeuppance.
Don’t forget to wake up early FOAR Cherries! They need their supporters more than ever.
Goddamnit I don’t want relegation.
still personally see y’all as like 80% to stay up
We better start showing some offense right damn soon.
I just think the Shite have to lose at least ONCE in the League, and this seems like a logical banana skin.
Last second, I plunked 30 Ameri-quid down on Spurs. The fuck is wrong with my brain??
I want to be your bookie.
fuck right off, your garage freezer is already overflowing with spare body parts (smh)
Welp, I slept like 9 hours but am still exhausted. Really hope this isn’t the flu.
cheer up, is probably just AIDS smgdh
OK, time to go watch the Fighten’ Archies upset tOSU.
Off to Costco on a Saturday with a toddler. The appropriate amount of edibles have been taken. Oh yes there will be hot dogs and ice cream
Get me one of those big assed jars of pretzels.
I’m good for the money.
Ooooh, Cheetos too!!!!!!
That seems like a divine punishment of the harshest kind… Were you Hitler or Stalin or Eddison-adjacent in a previous life or something? 😀
I’m tired. It’s been a long week. And I have my niece this weekend and she’s being little pain in the backside.
Currently she has commandeered my big TV to play XBox, which I suppose is my fault since I bought the XBox for her to begin with. But I told her just now, “Go ahead and get your mind right with it because at 8:00 tonight you lose the big TV. I’m gon’ watch Lamar!!!!! on teh big screen”. “Why can’t you watch it upstairs?” she asks.
BECAUSE I PAY THE BILLS AROUND HERE AND YOU JUST EAT MY FOOD AND MAKE A MESS AND ALSO BECAUSE I SAID SO.
See why I intentionally never made a kid?
Repeat after me (to her):” One more peep outta you, an’ the only gaming you’ll do is “snake” on my old Nokia” (don’t worry if you don’t recall having or buying a Nokia – they are always there, hiding, biding their time in the bottom of your discarded gizmo drawer. Never fully charged, yet never empty 😉
Jesus, I just looked and you are right. Are…are you a sorcerer?
No, I just looked for Mini-USB cable (I got a film digitizer, but of course it didn’t come with a bloody cable :D) .. and instead… I found a 3310…And it turned on (’twas on a half-charge). Spooky thing is back when it was “new”, neither me nor my wife owned anything from Nokia and the only Nokias I’ve bought are a PureView and now a 7Plus, so we’re still a bit in the dark where the fuck it came from 😀

Mah fungoo!
GOL TEH MIGHTY WHITEY AND GOL TEH TOFFEEEEES?
Richarlison is quite the dude
Cav got it for us, he made is transfer permanente from the Portuguese Wolves.
Unrelated: I just noticed on my DVR that it recorded Stephen King’s The Stand and I must say, I’d love for Netflix or another streaming service open to throwing a lot of cash at a marquee project to give it a big budget mini-series update.
Also, I guess 10TB is not enough… Might as well set it to record to the NAS directly
M-O-O-N, that spells Arsenal!
Moon… nah that’s just the strangled cry and oath to the Gods … “No mo[re]… $$$… Not for this shit”:D (before coming back next week, perhaps even with a new jersey)
Found a funny:
?give me the vape pen
I need that smoke
I wanna end life with a cough and choke
and drift away?
Goooooo Chelski!
Bad week for people listening when Liz tells them “No”.
HOW THE FUCK CAN I GET HANDBALL AND WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL STREAMS BUT NOT MIGHTY WHITEY!!!
Hippo you have brainwashed me. On my teevee I have the Toffees game.
absolute bullshit, that no penalty decision
Just a quick PSA: Don’t let your spouse use liquid metal TIMs and then laugh maniacally at them after she accidentally shorts out the CPU and fries the whole system 😀
Pardon my ignorance but in this country TIM’s is sub par coffee and shitty pastries.
Thermal interface material, aka thermal paste, aka the shit that costs like cents per machine, yet every OEM (regardless of the “class” of machine) skimps on an’ causes your laptop (or pre-built desktop) or console run hotter than it has to. I do kinda (sorta) understand if that was happening in mass-market crap, but in business grade machines, workstations AND proper gaming machines – it’s fucking insane 😀
Quick example – both my work P52 and my personal Clevo both ran a bit on the hot side (and throttled), because of the shitty thermal paste and a 30 minute process later with a high-performance non-conductive paste shaved 20*C from the max temps BUT without throttling and with the GPUs now hitting way higher frequencies, so the net effect is … even more noticeable 😀
This BK I call him the Bulgrish Professor cuz he teaches Litre and teh Hippo every weekend.
That’s raycess! I worked long an’ hard to be a knock-off Irishman 😀 Hell, I even made cake when I relinquished my Bulgarian passport (home-made Schwarzwald cake)
To be sure, to be sure, I can nae see ure accent on teh screen.
Well Scotchy, fitting that the game ended in a tie after both teams had the same number of goals at the end of overtime.
I can feel your hot breath on my neck.
C’mon, Cenk. Make a soccer point!
Oooh Calgary vs the Zlatan.
Arsenal coming apart at the seams? Surely, noone could have predicted that.
What did aubamayangadingdong do?
only saw the post-card protesting
just saw it, VAR overturned a yellow and issued a red. Was a real ankle-breaker.
The folks at Selhurst are all bundled up. It is 10 degrees C there you soft fucks. Come up here if ya want cold!!!
yeah, I noticed those softies… Here it’s also 10*C, yet I’m smoking outside wearing an Arsenal short-sleeve T-shirt (that I don’t mind potentially ruining with cigar ash aka a Van Persie 10)…
-18 “feels like”-28 here due to wind chill.
So long-sleeve or high BAC weather? 😀
Yes. Edibles cuz its too cold to burn one outside.
Mighty Whitey takes on Hull. Do I pay the 5 quid or find it online…
your five quid helps secure a future FOAR White chill’uns
Step dad Cola is here so I may not get a chance to focus. More AIDS for my comp!
Arsenal are away to Crystal Palace to kick things off (7:30, NBCSN). Uncle Woy has at least temporarily taken Cenk Tosun off the Everton wage bill. Thank fuck for small miracles. Please Jeebus, let him score so they exercise their purchase option. Vile shite, Cenk.
I am sorry, but this is way incorrect, for you see I’m in a great mood today, which means that Arsenal have neither played nor will play a game today… Ergo, us losing away at Selhurst isn’t actually gonna happen ergo^2 – that information is incorrect 😀
(This wishful denial of reality’s been brought to you by:)

Uncle Woy is a fucking God.
Missed the goal making coffee
Missed the goal getting shouted at by the wife for smoking (she’s under the mistaken impression that “smoke less cigars” means outright stopping them 😀 )
Smoke more weed?
Currently I’m 3/4ers of the way through a Romeo y Julieta Churchill… And a glass an empty glass o’ Tullamore… 1:1 … We’re gonna arse this up again, eh? 😀
