Banner Image Via ME Motherfuckers!
Good evening everyone. That beautiful goddamn banner photo was taken by your humble narrator personally last November 30th for the very last concert EVER! from Slayer. Brother DJ Taj and I are both thrash metal maniacs and for me this was the 4th time I’ve seen them live. Swear to God when I bought the tickets I had no idea it was their last show ever. I just saw they were playing with Ministry and Primus and I said. “Fuck yes.” Then it turned out to be the last time they will ever perform.
?
The photo is the outside of the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, CA, right next to where the Rams/Chargers new home is being built. This is the only time I know of when they paid such a massive tribute to the band that was playing that night.
It was fucking bad ass!
And appropriate!
Tonight ends our annual “DFO Hate Week” and it is my honor this year to close it out.
For a slightly different spin on the overall hate theme I’m going to tell you how I personally stopped an overflowing fountain of hate that was building up inside.
For the past several years I had noticed the unpleasant sensation of a pretty constant flow of anger whenever I went out in public, especially when driving. Don’t even ask about driving on the freeway. The littlest thing could just set me off. I don’t express myself physically or with gestures so it wasn’t technically “road rage” but it still caused me to boil internally.
It had gotten to the point that I was going to consult my doctor. Maybe a medication was fucking with me causing a chemical balance?
I was getting kind of weirded out by it.
I mean, there is a good chance that about 91% of the planet would trade for my life. I live on the fucking beach in LA! I walk there almost daily. My current hometown is one of the coolest, unknown, out of the way cities anywhere. I have a fantastic job that pays me really well in an industry I’ve always wanted to work in and I love going to work!
What the fuck was wrong with me?
Then I noticed about 5 months ago…It had basically stopped.
Well not entirely because a shithead doing shithead things can make anybody angry, but it was gone as far as day-to-day activities went.
I’m good now.
Any guess what may have changed in just those 5 months?
I logged off of Facebook. For good.
That’s the only change.
I had no idea that just reading that fucking site daily could fester inside of you and actually manifest itself in a physical way. It’s not just the ads, although that was the original reason for quitting, when all of the same idiotic bullshit false ads for our current Shitbag-in-Chief started running again. It was realizing that friends and family you’ve known and loved your entire life are not only entirely the polar opposite of you belief-wise and political-wise but something about being on the goddamn site encourages them to express and bray out their idiotic opinions on a daily basis.
That site made me utterly disown completely people I was previously very close to.
I only used Facebook to post food photos to get a rough idea of what I would post for a Sunday Gravy banner photo, keep up with the family or I would post photos like that bad motherfucker up top of activities I was doing. Never to vent and rail and share my brain-dead ideologies with folks who really didn’t want to hear it and sure as fuck never asked for it.
In honor of DFO Hate Week I can stringently say…
FUCK FACEBOOK!
Give it a try if you are feeling angry for unknown reasons. Step away for a bit and find out if it will help you as much as it did me. Simply freeing myself from that goddamn personality disorder of a social media site.
So there.
Sports tonight to relieve or increase your anger:
There’s your full schedule NBA.
Got your full schedule for the NHL.
Got that goddamn Honors thing for the NFL.
And miscellaneous and sundry college sports.
Superb Owl tomorrow.
Tonight just hang out with us. Drink a few things. Self medicate. Relax! And for FUCKS SAKE CHILL THE FUCK OUT!
Vent down there in the comments.
A brand new season of Sunday Gravy next Sunday.
Be well everyone.
The banner quote is horseshit. Democracy has been dead for a long, long fucking time. Yesterday was the wake.
I think the more important milestone is that this is the birthdate of authoritarian dictatorship in this country, right up and out front in our faces now, can no longer ignore.

I need some advice! So, now that I live in Tahoe, and I am surrounded by giant fancy casinos, I have the opportunity to go to a Super Bowl watch party. I suspect that the spectating will be phenomenal, but I am not sure that it will be worth the crowds. Do you guys have any thoughts?
Your team is in the Owl; beats going to a party where 70% of the populace thinks they’re watching the based ball Stanley Bowl Championship.
Aside note: I’d have texted my congrats, but the kids broke my phone this past week.
I love that the darling menaces are at phone-breaking age!
the 431 is no fun
I feel like I should know what the 431 is but I am not that cool. ¿Que es esto?
the road over St Rose to Reno.
Fair enough! No my future inebriated self was going to stay in South Lake at Harrah’s
Casinos are gateways to Hell and you should avoid them at all costs.
Also, there’s a game tomorrow?
Oh, most assuredly. If I am not working with subarachnoid on the hill, they come in from drunk belligerent fucks from the casinos.
You have to go.
You have to.
I feel like there will be oodles of entertainment!

You made your own hell. I choose to do nothing further.
Steve Atwater GOT IN, Y’ALL!!!!!
Well deserved.
WOO!
It’s all political. Once Jerome Bettis got in, i knew it was all bullshit.
Fuck that Atwater guy. He destroyed politics in this country. I hope he is smoking turd cigars in hell.

I hate that I’m better than everyone else. I’m just kidding I love it.
You know what, fuck Iowa and their incredibly stupid anachronistic caucus system and fuck New Hampshire’s equally dumb refusal to budge on their “first primary” horseshit that has given both of those meaningless states such an outsized effect on whose campaigns actually survive the early process.
Totally ignoring their place in the political process, fuck Iowa all the time, even in non-election years. And New Hampshire as well.
I have always thought having all the primaries the same day would be the best way to go, and they can only be held 6 months before the elections.
Rotate among 5 pods of 10 states each. Random number draws to determine the order each year. Space 3 weeks apart.
Actually, as annoying as all the campaigning is, maybe it should only start 6 months before the election and the primaries held all at once 3 months before the election. That way sitting politicians could actually do what they are supposed to do (hard to keep a straight face while I typed that), instead of worrying about reelection for over a year.
They should just make me dictator for life.
We should only let Europeans, Australians, New Zealanders, and Japanese vote in the US primaries.
meaningless, overwhelmingly white states
Nevada bumped up to try and give some diversity to the early primaries. It should be a rotation of 25 states at a time.

I’m over that shit.

Catching up downstream…imagine being in a position where your morals/sense of decency kept you from having carnal relations with Pam Bondi. Unlike Palin or Ivanka…that’s a legitimate, evil smokeshow.
I’d hate myself forever.
More of a brunette man myself. Have absolutely no carnal attraction to any of Trump’s stable of Barbie Dolls, would rather jack off a mad lion.. Ivanka needs to do the peroxide more often, many pix of her show the racing stripe quite obvious.
Evening, made it to Vegas yesterday and am finally starting to relax on our vacation, part of which is staying off fascistbook. If it wasn’t for the House Rabbits International group and a couple of author’s groups I would have left Facebook a long time ago.
Tonight at the Hard Rock, everyone gets laid.
Good for them, glad someone is. We are going to see Jojo Rabbit tonight and have a late dinner. Trying to decide where to go see the game tomorrow.
If I like you sufficiently, I have your phone number or e-mail, and will text or message accordingly. Don’t call me on the phone. I HATE THAT SHIT.
/this doesn’t apply to DFO, imaginary people are a delight.

I played the shit out of that 8-track when it came out. Loves me some ELO.
It’s a shame the Paramore girl died in that tragic scissoring accident with Avril Lavigne, and they were both secretly replaced by robots built by the Rand Corporation disguised as lizard people, disguised as humans. It’s so obvious it’s like they’re not even trying.
I haven’t spoken to either of my brothers since Trump got elected. We communicate solely by text, and then only holidays and birthdays. The sad truth is, they are horrible racist assholes and I don’t miss either of them. I miss who they used to be, but not who they are now. I live far away from them, and that’s fine with me. If I never set foot in Western Pennsyltucky again it will be too soon!
Once you leave Allegheny County, you’re in Alabama all the way to Philadelphia.
Yup.
To clarify, is that implying Philly is an improvement? Batteries say otherwise
My brother was exhibiting some Republican/Conservative leanings around 2000 my sisters and I shamed him out of it. Right in his smug face.
I’m thankful sometimes that I’m an only child.

Evening, folks. Leafs suck, forever and always. Hope you’re well on this fine Saturday Super Bowl Eve.
evening
Savoring the last few hours of my team being Defending Super Bowl Champions, here.
Delightful HATE WEEK, leading up to a Superb Owl that I am pleasantly neutral towards. And Everton won, down a man.
At least he’s drinking Fresca and not Crown Royal.
That’s an awesome 59 Chevy.
My facebook is down to 27 people now, about 90% of them are people that I know from the Internet. Most of my family didn’t make the cut.

Sufjan is an amazing artist. I even managed to get a couple of friends from university – who went the religious route – into this cat.
If all religious folks were kind and inclusive like Sufjan, would be a much better world.

Mini Hate Rant:
I hate bad parkers. Why?
1. They park bad.
2. When they park bad you have to park bad (over the lines) and when they leave it looks like you are a bad parker. Fuck them.
Press 1 for a Parker Brothers joke.
Press 2 for a Parker Lewis Can’t lose joke.
Press 3 to hear the options again in Esperanto.
Presses 1, leaves voice message: FUCK YOU.

I hate bad parkours. Why? because they smash their faces into the roof tile when they jump the alley from one tenement building to the other. At least the dentists get some work out of their shenanigans.
You know that saying “Misery loves company”. That’s how i explain Facebook. Bunch of miserable people joining up.
Hate Week Rant:
For twenty years, the most apathetic, incurious, worthless people in the world I’ve known or even met have been lawyers. DFO’s are the exception.
My cousin is an elderly/estate/real estate lawyer, not a lawyer that has ambulance chasing TV ads on late at night. A decent human, and if it doesn’t seem sicko, she’s pretty hot too. You would do her.
a/s/l???
Lost me there. amigo. Translation needed.
old AOL chat joke (age/sex/location)
I threw all those AOL CDs away when they arrived in the mail.
She’s 59/female/Massachusetts but happily set with her second husband, who is a pretty cool dude if I do say so myself, despite his being a Rhode Islander.
My dude, I continue to believe it is the easiest possible doctorate, and DEFFO wayyyyyyyy over-emphasizes connections and coming from “old money.”
I liked about 20 people in my law school class. I am still in contact with exactly ONE.
It is.
I don’t know why I continue. I guess to change things because I’m stupid. I gave up on trying in my home state but now I have to actually try. At least before I had a reason to because I was unemployed.
Can we hate on finger nails? Mine grow away too fast and I never remember to cut them until am away from home and resort to biting them off.
Evening Folks.
CIA World FACTbook better than TheFacebook it is known.
My late wife’s best friend moved to PHX, but stayed close to me and the family on Facebook after my wife died. After a few months, she started posting pro-Trump stuff and has not let up for three solid years. If my wife had not already had an aneurysm, this ignorant self-defeating horseshit would have given her one.
IQ’s drop 50 points the moment anyone crosses the Arizona state line.
No matter which direction they are headed.
My mom was a volunteer for Jesse Jackson’s campaign once upon a time, and was fiercely anti-Reagan and Bushes 1 and 2 while I was growing up. When I blocked her on facebook, her activity was all birther shit (post-Trump inauguration!) and trending towards Q anon type shit.
horseshoe theory is real, yo
No, it isn’t. Aligning your morality with your new sugar daddy’s is though.
almost everybody I know that went over to right-wing conspiracy land was either (i) very religious; or (ii) considered themselves very hostile/non-mainstream left
but that sugar daddy stuff changing one’s views is fucking vile. Sorry that hit your family.
On the bright side, my dad died to make it happen. So who can say it was necessarily a bad thing?
Trust me when I say my mother didn’t have the willpower to be radical anything.
it’s usually folks who THINK they see things nobody else is smart/cool enough to get. Not good, committed radicals.
We NEED good, committed radicals to keep the left honest. 😀
I love that you can make that joke, and I bet your wife would, too.
I got on Facebook in 2008 when I was deployed to the AOR, sitting in Kuwait, it was a nice way to keep in touch with friends.
I bought a fixer-upper when I got back in 09, and didn’t spend much time on FB because I was busy fixering-uppering. When I finally did get back around to checking it out, I found a lot of the old friends that I looked up had horrifying political opinions that I just could not wrap my head around. Seriously, you are a Sarah Palin fan!?!?! So I just dropped off, and finally cancelled my account in 2016. Fuck that place and fuck Zuckerberg with a rusty chainsaw sideways up his ass.

I haven’t deleted my Facebook account yet because a) I was in college when The Facebook dot com launched and b) I still use it to see what my nieces and nephew are up to, but….it’s a festering pile of shit and I commend everyone who does log off.

Pam Bondi was the Florida Attorney General who dropped the State of Florida’s fraud lawsuit against Trump University once he made a $25,000 contribution to her campaign fund. Now she is part of his defense attorney team. She did take main stage a couple times last week in front of the Senate.
