    I was going for humor....it’s somewhat boring nowadays

    If you're looking for excitement that's at least on the level of watching golf on TV, I did notice today that those ads we weren't seeing on pages a few days ago have reappeared!

  • It's gonna be real sad if I ever get so desperate for sports that I find myself reduced to watching our minor league style of soccer populated by no-names and old dudes playing out the string somewhere where the quality is low enough they still are viable talent.

    I remember a while back Trump questioning whether he would even participate in the debates. He's probably looking forward to sharing the stage with Biden. He'll eat his lunch.

    In theory, assuming he can remember how to do more than make up a stupid nickname, followed by a combination of incessant bragging about stuff that may or may not be true AND whining about how unfairly he's been treated. He SHOULD be able to do more than that, but after that being the majority of his speeches for 3+ years, who knows if that's his new ceiling or if he's still capable of raising his game.

    Apparently, Rand Paul has been cleared.  Dude looks like hell, though.  Give him some Vicodin, and he'd look like Dr. House.

    Speaking about guys who look like they came off a week-long hookers-n-blow bender!

    Over 10k deaths now in the U.S. 

    And, holy shit Boris Johnson is in ICU. 

    Man, when it's getting the guys who ALWAYS look like they're coming off a week-long hookers-n-blow bender, that's when we all gotta start worrying!

  • I will admit that the lack of sports has gotten annoying enough that I'd actually be desperate enough to have golf on the TV by now. That's...kind of depressing...

  • Pussy Galore died. Well, technically, it's the actually who played Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, but let's be real: does anyone care about her real name when you can say Pussy Galore instead?

  • My junk-ass rural scamtown has it for $1.79. Which makes it really funny that a Meijer golf station about 15 miles west is $1.49.

  • I can't remember the last time I looked to see where something is made and probably haven't even noticed unless I'm ordering a shirt online and see that the price is in pounds instead of dollars. If I want something, I buy it and that's usually all the thought I need to put into it.

  • Re: Barstool/Portnoy -- been a huge fan of PFT since whenever I discovered him, so with him at Barstool, I've spent some degree of time there. A percent is funny, a percent is annoying/assholeish and A LOT is boring-ass filler with a couple pics of hot chicks attached to give it some site value.

    Portnoy is definitely an ass, but a lot of the sites/people that put the most energy into attacking him (such as the Daily Beast that was posted here or Deadspin before they self-terminated because they couldn't stand that thought that the people WHO OWNED THE SITE actually wanted some degree of editorial control) also are asses. Deadspin, in particular, loved to personally attack him and other writers and then would cry "harassment" when he struck back.

    Either/or, PFT and Big Cat are cool, Portnoy's a dick and a lot of the blog-media folk going after him also are dicks, so it's mostly a wash to me.

     

    Also: Pat Robertson showed how badly he wishes to be relevant to anyone other than mostly-senile god-squaders today by rambling about how CV is a result of young people and their oral sexing. It would be nice if, just once, we could get through something big like this without every fucking moron in the world with an audience trying to one-up each other with pure stupidity.

    Is the draft still going on exactly as planned? Or have they modified it? I think canceling it all together would be ridiculous. There's plenty of ways to have it while still practicing social distance. 

    I think that, for me, the weird thing about the draft this year will be that all these other sporting events where I'm used to getting together with friends and partying have been canceled and it's this weird "out of sight, out of mind" thing for me where it doesn't bother me as much as I expected it would. But if the draft is held, it'll be a rare "drinking event" that is going on, but without my one friend holding his annual draft party and that will be kind of strange, knowing it's going on and I'm not heading up to his place.

  • Look, we can listen to Mr. Science here, or just listen to me when I say that I drink like it's an occupation (the good kind where you actually like showing up for work and don't half-ass your way through the day) and, over the past however many years, haven't had more than the rare (once per year, usually) cold that has me under the weather for 3 or so days. You want an immune system that knows how to go to war for you and putting it to the test daily is the best way to make it grow and get strong!

    That's a hell of a lot of assumption.

     

    CC doesn't deal with facts; he deals with assumptions he makes that he pretends are facts.
