Welcome to another edition of Last Call. Everyone at Avoiding the Drop is glad to see you here. Our soccer plate this evening will be serving the Major League Soccer All-Stars against the Red Devils of Manchester United. I think I am safe in saying that we are all hoping for “good” to triumph over “evil” tonight.
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup
This year’s baseball season continues to be dominated by awesome pitching with plenty of games this evening. College football season is revving up into high gear, and to make it even more interesting, the Tenessee Titans are suing USC. And in completely unrelated news, the Plastiki, a ship made entirely out of plastic bottles and other recyclables completed its crossing of the Pacific Ocean.
Your brainstorming ideas for tonite are:
- kettled-cooked or baked
- gas or electric (stoves not cars)
- day or night
So there you go. Have at it in the comments section. Enjoy the All-Star game and the conversation. For the first one here, the key is under the ceramic frog. For the last one out, please turn off the lights AND the television.
1. Kettle cooked, I think. Not sure about this one.
2. Electric stoves for home, gas for commercial applications. Electric stoves while not as hot cook more evenly. That’s better for the average home cook than the uneven, but higher temp gas stove. If it was only me using the gas stove, I’d get it, but other people would get on it too. /scoffs at the plebs
3. Night. I hate mornings. All the fun stuff happens in the afternoon or later anyways, except for the occasional morning sex. I miss morning sex, well all sex but especially the morning stuff.
If The Notorious MOB stops by, I liked the Buffy throwback (probably not from her Buffy days, but that’s where she made her name, isn’t it?)
hola peeps! ooh, another choice list!
1) kettle cooked. definitely
2) gas stove (but electric oven) I’m actually a very good cook, when I choose to do it. I prefer the control I can get with a gas cooktop.
3) day? what’s that?
I don’t think it’s fair that you’re calling the MLS All-Stars “evil.” I feel “subpar” or “mediocre” would be far more accurate. They’re more inept henchman than evil.
Anyone who answers “baked” to the first question should probably find a new place to hang out during Last Call- like a retirement community.
I figured ‘baked’ was the description of someone who would willingly choose ‘baked’
I am annoyed that the Red Sox are on the west coast- because now I’m stuck trying to figure out what to watch. Right now I’m torturing myself with a Yanks/Indians game – suck vs. blow, really. My other choices are Mets/Cards, Braves/Nats, and O’s/BJ’s.
*sigh* looks like it’s time for a Bogart/Bacall movie.
heh heh she said BJ’s
And I deliberately left that cheese hanging in the wind, and it took half an hour for someone to notice. *tsk
I was napping. I seem to be doing a lot of that lately

Oh, they’re doomed. Lalas has predicted a win for the MLS AllStars.
I dunno. This is an opportunity for United’s players to stretch and look at the clounds.
Except the roof is closed.
I blame Reliant Stadium’s roof lackeys for this.
Wow! 1 minute in and the Devils are ahead….not a good sign for the All Stars.
Lalas jinxed ‘em.
Macheda wants to see the pitch this year, methinks.
Macheda REALLY wants to see the pitch this year.
Sculptor?!?, what Bogart Bacall film?
You do like the B &W film noirs
decided to watch the MLS game instead. but I was thinking The Big Sleep (despite having watched it recently, it’s still one of my faves). To Have and Have Not is also a good one (also viewed recently) Shit,who am I kidding, they’re all good.
I do enjoy Film Noir, and most movies from the 40s but Fuse is the resident FN superfan and expert.
There’s no such thing as a bad Bogart movie.
heh. like I said.
Try watching “Beat the Devil”:
Directed by John Huston.
Written by Truman Capote
Starring Bogart, Peter Lorre et al.
And somehow…awful.
I’ll watch it. I don’t believe you. There’s no way that group could do anything bad.
John O’Shea is not the guy you want as the trailer on your breakaway attempt.
May I help with that a bit?
John O’Shea is not the guy you want on the pitch.
Oh hai guise, I heard the MLS All-Star Game is on an- OH.
Apparently Sir Alex didn’t get the memo from MLS Corporate that they’re supposed to capitulate at every possible opportunity. Wow.
1. Kettle-cooked? Baked? Baked what?
2. Gas, always. Although my adventures with this glorified camping stove in my apartment is making me wish that electric were an option sometimes.
3. Night. Last Call doesn’t come during the day, don’tcha know.
I think 1 is chips. I think. Last Call could happen in the day, but those of youse who have day jobs might not be able to drink as much.
how fucking lucky. it should be 3-0 now.
Wes Brown is feeling so bad for the MLOLS “All-Stars” that he tried putting one past Van der Sar to help them back into the match.
Columbus Crew leading F.C. Delco in the U-19 National Championship.
why is that chick wearing pajamas on TV?
Why wouldn’t she is a better question, right?
She earned 271 USWNT caps, won two World Cups and two Olympic Gold medals- she can wear whatever she wants.
yeah. no. I’m surprised at you, Mr. Sartorial Critic.
The MLS is waving the white flag. There’s Brian Ching.
The Spanish contingent lobbied hard for him to get on just so they would have a reason to say Brian…CHI-NG! for seven straight minutes.
jeesus, there must be a meteor incoming. I’m scared.
Lalas, I’m blaming you for this debacle.
So, I haven’t done a full shave since June 1st I believe. I’ve got a minor Grizzly Adams look going on, though tomorrow may be mustache day.
going to post before and after pictures on your blog?
I could do that. The hair that’s left, a goatee, is nearly an inch long. I could nearly braid it… yeah gross.
going for the ZZ Top look, eh?
Not specifically. I was hoping to have found a job, or worked things out with the woman friend by this time which would have necessitated a shave by now.
Out at a bar, some guy sitting next to me is telling his friends how brian ching is better than edson buttle, herculez gomez, robbie findley and jozy altidore. Okay, he is playing alright tonight, but ITS BRIAN FUCKING CHING.
please tell me you popped him one.
At least he wasn’t crowing about Conor Casey – that would have been grounds for a gentleman’s duel.
Oh trust me, I let him know how the ATD community felt about his opinon, with a verbal lashing. I was also interviewed by japanese television about footy in the states while out at Nevada Smiths, it was a fun filled night
I think I’d take Brian Ching more seriously if he didn’t have the “Pete Rose” hair cut.*
*also known as the “Moe Howard”
MORE footie on FSC for those who haven’t had enough tonight- CONCACAF Champions League match featuring Seattle.
Ah, thanks.
I’ve been watching from about 30′ in the first half. Good game. One of the visitors deserved a red for a face rake, but other than that things have been fairly well behaved…to a point.
Hmm, it appears that a friend of a friend is doing her best to poison my friend against me. I have no idea why, other than my friend mostly stopped hanging out with this girl partially due to me, though not at my behest. Yes, my friend is also a girl. The shitty thing is that it appears to be working fantastically, against me…
So, how about that local sports team? Oh and 36 days until College football starts and 43 days until the NFL starts. Huzzah!
women are crazy. avoid them.
But, but they have this thing called a vagina. While they do sell replica rubberized versions, I hear their not the same. Also, I’d rather be trampled to near death by Twilight fans and then eviscerated by a spoon than use one of those impostors.
On a side note, a good woman adds quite a bit to life, on top of her vagina…
oh, all right, I’ll re-write it:
women are crazy. avoid them unless absolutely necessary.
happy?
Well, that’ll do.
On a side note, a good woman adds quite a bit to life, on top of her vagina…
Yeah, like boobs.
Exactly. And no matter how hard you try to configure that bag of sand, it just never works.
I know! They’re magic!!
