Last Call. Another day in the books and another day closer to Christmas. The fifth day of Hanukkah. Wednesday.
So you’re here, thanks for stopping by. We’re always happy to have you here. Again, no comment ninjas here, no policies other than do your best to enjoy yourself and don’t be a dick. Since this is a soccer-centric blog, have a look around at our posts and especially our Champions League Round of 16 Draw Competition. Today in the Premier League, Spurs beat City 3-0, Chelsea stayed top with a 2-1 win over Portsmouth, Liverpool got an important 2-1 win over Wigan and Arsenal and Burnley drew at 1 each.
In other news, TiWoo was named Athlete of the Decade (we’re still waiting word on Fornicator of the Decade), Arrelious Benn declared for the draft, Roy Halladay and John Lackey were introduced, and the Carolina Panthers just MIGHT be full of shit. So let’s get to commenting, then, shall we? Yes.

Have at it in comments. Time is short and Santa is watching.
Whoa. Hideki Matsui is now an Angel? Weirdsville.
Yeah. I was sort of hoping he’d go to Seattle to form a wacky Japanese tag team with Ichiro, to be managed by that devious Mr. Fuji, but alas.
I was just more astounded by the concept that the Yanks aren’t throwing more money around.
There’s occasional fiscal responsibility in the Bronx. Plus, I think I’m faster than him. So there’s that.
holding out for bigger and better things.
it could be a sitcom
Dinner: Frozen veg, tofu (with dijon), and garlic – mashed potatoes.
Not as bad as I would have thought. I doubt the flavours go together, but it’s edible.
Garlic goes with almost anything. Actually, looking over it, I don’t see how that menu could be bad. Unless the veg. are brussels sprouts or asparagus.
Asparagus, red & yellow peppers, spinach, and peas in some sort of pod (snow peas, maybe?).
The more I’m eating, the more I think I could do this again and try different combinations (yams or other vegetables ?). Also, a super-cheap healthy meal.
I think it was the dijon which was a little strong at first, but I think it’s needed that way to flavour the tofu.
Tofu will absorb most any flavor. If you let the brick marinate, you can get the stuff to *almost* taste good.
Hooters Swimsuit competition on Fox Sports Cincy.
They’re supposed to be showing the Cavs v 76ers game, but it’s blacked out everywhere, and Comcast are dicks, so we don’t get the game, even though we’re in the NYC market.
Bite my fat white ass, Comcast.
The UFC people who have directv (like me) are going to be even more pissed at Comcast next year when UFC television events on Versus are not viewable on the satellite. I can taste the outrage now. Sort of a cross between rotten watermelon and damp mouldy sponge.
Right. Because we disgruntled hockey fans aren’t enough, Comcast needs to have ANOTHER faction angry at them.
Clearly.
Chris Henry is going to be tomorrow’s big story, and let’s hope it turns out okay. Sounds bad right now.
Jumping into a truck. I wonder how many credits he earned for learning that at WVU? I do wish him well though.
Okay, I’ve got to ask: what happened, and who is Chris Henry?
Click on his name in my post to find out the story. He’s a receiver for the Bengals who’s been in and out of trouble with the law on more than one occasion.
Ah. Sorry, I didn’t see the link – looks the same color to me.
But wow. Just when you think people can’t be any dumber, shit like this happens. I should call my Dad for some dirt – he’s a Char-Meck firefighter, and knows most of the cops.
Sometimes when your fiancee is driving away in her pickup truck, you just gotta let her go.
I’m excited to watch Kevin Durant on live TV tonight. Nice appetizer for a few weeks from now when i get to see him live when he crushes the Nets.
What a fucking shit-tastic day. How’s everybody else doing?
Just as shit-tastic, brah, just this whole week has been a festering syphilitic bucket full of suck. I need a drink but I just can’t. So fuck it.
The highlight has been me just now realizing that me slamming that douche-latto Jeets made it on the Pub dartboard. So I got that going for me.
Which is nice.
I’ll have one in your honor. What’s doing on your side of the fence? And well done on the board, by the way.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
It’s mainly just money issues, the restaurant money here on swanky Michigan Ave. simply has not materialized. The malls/stores are too high-end.
What can I say? The Mile ain’t all that magnificent these days.
It had levels of good.
I continued my streak of being a jerk in class.
There was a presentation in which they had an ongoing joke about killing clowns (a study in which children modelled adult behaviour by beating on clowns if the adults did it, but they added the fictional joke that there were a bunch of clown killings they were investigating as a way of introducing the theory).
They asked for positive or negative things, I quietly said that I hate clowns and that I like where they’re going with ridding the world of clowns. Then someone else, who always makes good points, made a good comment, then I began to make a comment to elaborate on hers by saying that I was going to make a good comment this time (rather than the stupid one I made earlier), but the other person assumed that I was referring to hers (since I hadn’t spoken as loudly before as I thought I had), the result was disbelief that I’d be so rude on the far side of the class, and awkward laughing on my side of the class (who had heard me make the earlier comment and did try to clarify the issue to help me out), followed by me blushing and apologizing profusely (didn’t seem to be listened to though)… to the girl who is kindly offering me a ride out of this god-forsaken town once we’re done this week of school.
Poor baby. *pats on back*
But nice comment about the clowns. I also hate clowns – whenever I see one, I have to restrain myself from punching it in the nose. Ask Fuse.
I find women in clown suits pretty sexy.
on the other hand, since I’m already the one who is organizing the intramurals for my section, I’m already filling their e-mail inboxes with crap.
I was just hired to be a liason and tech support (kinda, I can use a mac but I don’t really know that much about them) person. Mostly it involves just sending e-mails and helping out the prof when they don’t know how to attach their computer to the data projector. It’s only a few hours a week (good) and that can be my drinkin’ money.
I had an interview for 1.5 hrs yesterday. Met with the director, the manager and part of the team. Received an email stating that they aren’t offering me the position. They are giving it to someone else. Oh and the person they are giving it to has a job, unlike myself who will be unemployed on Feb 26th. So that’s pretty fucking awesome.
I’ll pour myself a scotch and pass an invisible one to you.
I hope that you get some other leads… That’s pretty shitty. Same goes for Chicago’s deal. Not cool.
Yeah I had a similar experience. I had interviews for an internship at a TV station. I know for a fact i had more experience doing what they were asking than everyone in the room. The guy asked about a certain editing program and wanted someone that was familiar with it. I’ve used the program to edit all my stuff for the last four years. I left thinking if I didn’t get the one in sports i would get the one editing. Got neither. Since then got a different internship that’s probably better. Fuck them.
Scuptor. Thanks for the tofu advice. I’ve never had the foresight to actually marinate it properly, but will try it in the future.
No problem.
I’ve had the stuff prepared in such a way that it tastes like french toast. Seriously – if you got past the fact that it was tofu, it was really good.
nah, I’m cool with the fact that I’m eating tofu. I try to eat vegetarian at least once a week. It’s more preparing it in different ways other than having it with a peanut satay sauce or in a curry
Yeah, I don’t actually mind tofu as a concept. I just try to avoid soy in general.
Anyone ever watch Man vs. Food? The amount of chow this guy packs away in a sitting is astounding.
Yeah, dude went to Lucky’s here in town, a sports bar on Clark Street near Wrigley. They have an over-stuffed sandwich there. It is the biggest, most disgustingly delicious, almost obscene monstrosity I have ever seen.
Motherfucker ate THREE of them. In one sitting. Yeah, you get your name on the wall if you do that, that’s how hardcore it is. Ridiculous.
!!!!
HAHAHAAA. Yeah, I love this show. The places he finds, and the obscene amounts of food served and eaten make me simultaneously proud and ashamed of America.
I’ve always thought that Rio Ferdinand looks like Nacho Vidal. Don’t google image search him.
gah, so tempting to, but I’ll hold on to that.
At least he’s not Luke Chadwick. Ugliest premier league player evah? Does he beat Tevez & Crouch?
OK dudes, I’m out for the night. I’m going drinkin’ Chicago Sometimes & dave, hope things get better soon, you mo’fos seem like good enough dudes and I hope things turn around.
Thanks guys. I mean, I’m getting by – which means I’m a fuckton better off than some others and haven’t forgotten that.
But I won’t get to play Santa to a few dear friends/family and that makes me sad panda.
I hear that.
At the risk of going all Hallmark card on your ass:
You know, the best thing is to just tell them how much they mean to you. Of all the gifts I ever got, those few are the ones that meant (and continue to mean) the most to me.
I heard a rumor that Tiger was changing his name to Cheetah. Can anyone corroborate?
oh, that’s just awful. (I wish I’d thought of it.)
I don’t know what’s happening, but the asian population of Madison is buying up all of Best Buys wireless mice.
Someone please get Jack Bauer on this. WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!
WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!
That took entirely too much effort to type on the ol’ iPod touch.
Is anyone still around I have something funny to share?
Yeah, I’m still poking about, what’s up?
So, I work in a customer service dept for Staples. I received a message to look into a delivery issue for a company called Manatee Gynocology. I was thinking, How does one get into such a field?
Very carefully. And I’d recommend hip waders also.
\dying of laughter
Checking TPP, I think someone needs to explain to FWJRB that LC alternates sites.
@TY – You guys don’t get Versus? That’s going to cut into your UFC viewing, for sure. The one positive is this move is probably the first step toward UFC events showing on NBC.
LOL. I left a comment. Thanks love.
And no, Directv no longer carries Versus, thanks to Comcast. Those cockknockers.
Okay, I’m toast. I’ll see you lot tomorrow.
Good night.
Found this very helpful, many thanks for posting this.
