Robert Downey Jr. got dap from the real Toney Starks

Not only does Robert Downey Jr. get paid lots of money to pretend to be a super-hero version of himself, he gets to hang with GFK. I'm jealous.


Luckily for us, Pretty Tone lends credence to our conclusion that he made Iron Man a hot joint. Luckily for Jack Urbont, Cocaine Biceps also notes that the old Iron Man cartoon was much better than the comic books.

We have 10 teams in the Yahoo league - should we do the draft tonight, in case rob is right and we get f'ing pummeled by this storm?

Clarence said...

It is Homecoming weekend at the College of William & Mary. One or more of you may be incapacitated tonight.

Jerry said...

I'd be OK with moving the draft to next week.

T.J. said...

Draft is Monday night. Season kicks off Tuesday.

Danimal said...

oh sugar, was just about to see if i could still get into the league. AS IF!

the sea is a little annoyed this afternoon. winds are going on strong and soon to be a wee bit stronger. i'll be tailgating in this shit, and gladly so, at 0900 tomorrow. there will be some added moisture of course. not to worry during the game, i'll be watching from inside. hmmmmm...hmmmm...danny?! how 'bout a fresca?!

and then the irish at 8pm...my wife won't be annoyed with me at all by that point. love you honey bunny!

don't forget to dvr your ironman world championship at 4 tomorrow...

everyone out buying soup?

Dear Gheorghe,

An elderly lady was in my work building just now. She waved at me as she was slowly making her way out the door into the pre-hurricane rain. I said, "Have a good weekend -- stay dry!" She looked me dead in the eye with a smile and replied, "Oh, I will." I laughed really hard. None of my colleagues laughed at all. Was that what she meant? Am I a jackass?

Signed,
Confused

Danimal said...

hmmm...it sounds like that is what she meant mr. confused but that doesn't mean you still can't be a jackass.

Clarence said...

That sounds about right.

Clarence said...

And they're singin' up in Jersey:

Sandy
The aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl...

zman said...

Did she have a Canadian maple leaf shaved into the back of her head?

zman said...

A kid just got on my train carrying a 3 foot bong.

Mark said...

It's a water pipe, Z.

Mark said...

I'm also really looking forward to season 2 of "People in the North get really over excited and scared about a weak hurricane (because every thing that happens to people who live between DC and New York City is more important)". It has a really clunky title but it was immensely entertaining last year.

zman said...

We already stocked up on truffle oil and organic Greek yogurt here at zcentral.

zman said...

And thanks for referring to us as "people in the north" instead of "Yankee jackasses."

Danimal said...

Duke. Nc state. Your wagers for tomorrow.

Mark said...

No problem, Z.

No wagers from me just yet but I'm alone with 9 month old this weekend so I'll be up early enough to look them over in the morning.

Danimal said...

Bring that little bugger up...can scrape up a coupla terrace suite tix.

Clarence said...

Reporting to you live from Williamsburg, Va. Rob and I are up and at 'em, only slightly hung over, and preparing to crack our first cold one of the day. Saw Shlara last night, hope to do the same today.

Best part of a 20-year reunion, all our old friends embrace alcoholism the same way I do on a weekly basis.

rob said...

you are looking live...at cary field at zable stadium.

zman said...

Are you in Cary, NC?

Mark said...

I'm housing this solo parent weekend. Kid slept for 13 hours last night and fully cooperated at the gym's day care this morning. Now just a little lunch and then it's off to Grandma's house so I can watch Florida-Georgia.

Marls said...

Checking in from New Brunswick, NJ. Get ready for some Rutgers football.

Jerry said...

That's classic Cocktail Party preparation right there.

zman said...

My kid spent the morning re-enacting the "fuck yo couch" part of the Rick James sketch.

Mark said...

The kid is out of the house. I can now hate Georgia in a manner befitting this rivalry. Mark Rich and TR can both go to hell.

Mark said...

Z - Was your kid calling you "Darkness" as well? Cause that would be pretty cool.

Marls said...

Rather weak turnout for a ranked Rutgers team on homecoming. Maybe 3/4 filled. Maybe.

T.J. said...

Mark's comment at 3:16 still has me laughing.

T.J. said...

Driskel making some terrible throws today.

T.J. said...

Rutgers is losing 28-10 to Kent State?

Mark said...

Driskel is happy that Aaron Murray is on the field to deflect so e of the awful decision making attention away from him. That last pick was a killer. Denies Florida a halftime lead when they've played like shit and ends the best drive they'd had all day. Time to drink...more.

rob said...

anyone see the gambling beat nc state inflicted on punters today? brutal.

Mark said...

I did. Pretty great. Watched Gio Bernard play in high school. Love that little Italian.

T.J. said...

I do not look forward to the Sooners steamrolling Notre Dame tonight.

Mark said...

Conversely, I am.

T.J. said...

Maybe it will make up for the sorrow you will feel when this derpfest has ended, and the Gators have lost.

Mark said...

Such a bitter response.

zman said...

My power company says I should prepare for a power outage of 7 to 10 days. How the fuck do I prepare for that? No heat or hot water for a week and a half?

T.J. said...

would you expect any other kind of response?

and z, yeah, I'm pretty sure PEPCO will be srewing us down this way, and power will be out for days if not a week, when this storm comes through

Mark said...

Well, shit. Florida didn't deserve to win anyway.

Mark said...

Why are you jumping from the 7 yard line, Jordan Reed?

T.J. said...

fratty Florida today:
6 turnovers
9 points

Mark said...

Just an awful day I. Ever possible way for Florida. Sloppy, undisciplined and disorganized. The solace I take from this: I never thought we'd go undefeated and I (probably) don't have to watch the Gators get curb stomped by Alabama.

Mark said...

Oh Lane Kiffin, you always know just what to do to make me feel better. Thanks, bud!

Mark said...

Bets I made today were all of the degenerate gambler variety. Oregon (-21) in the 1st half vs. Colorado. The 1st half ended with Oregon up 56-0.

Then a small two team parlay, Oklahoma (-7) in the 1st half and Bama (-14) in the 1st.

rob said...

altogether now: hey auburn! ha ha! /muntz

rob said...

landry jones got that old time rhythm

T.J. said...

ND has the lead. Will be cherishing this moment before it gets ugly.

Mark said...

Auburn should just fire Chizik now. Everyone knows its going to happen. Just put the man out of his misery.

Mark said...

That botched snap is looking pretty big right now.

rob said...

this irish defense is impressive

T.J. said...

Whatever the hell just happened in that ND game I dont think I've seen before. A rushing TD apparently overruled by a penalty that was never even announced.

Mark said...

Yes. Very odd. Bob Stoops was it p,eased. Deservedly so.

rob said...

bob stoops was so mad he started speaking in punctuation and gibberish? damn, that's some serious angry.

rob said...

just saw the lattimore injury for the first time. oh. my. god. that's some horror movie shit. hope he plays again.

T.J. said...

Marqise Lee had 345 yards receiving today? That's insane.

Mark said...

Indeed it was, Rob. Indeed it was.

Danimal said...

Hi!
Losing my ass....can't wait to see whatever the fuck happened in ncstate game. Good times nonetheless. Ga fl..it is a bucket list item. Must do it. Mark, sorry for your loss. And mine...lost a dollar or two on that one.

rob said...

broken femur, and all four ligaments torn, according to reports. mercy.

Danimal said...

Nd managing this nicely. Teejus...come on man....believe.

rob said...

danimal, state was getting 7.5, led by 10 in the 4th. carolina came back to tie the game, then took a 41-35 lead on a punt return touchdown with just seconds left. holder dropped the snap, picked it up, found an open player in the end zone for a two-point conversion. heels win, 43-35, cover on the botched snap/hold.

T.J. said...

I hate college kickers.

Mark said...

Thanks, Dan. Not taking the loss too hard. As I said earlier, Florida in no way deserved to win that game. The Cocktail Party is definitely a must attend event. Been five times but haven't been in three years. Need to remedy that next year.

Mark said...

Notre Dame's D is certainly even more legit than I gave them credit for it seems. Imagine how good they'd be if Aaron Lynch hadn't transferred.

Mark said...

Golson just got annihilated.

T.J. said...

Tommy Rees Time!!!

Danimal said...

I think about that Lynch transfer daily. Pussy.
It is a luxury to know your back-up is more than capable but in this game Rees hurts their chances.

Danimal said...

Golson back in. Need a td here. Kicker blows.

Danimal said...

Good!

Danimal said...

Just farted
Oh boy...that kick was not good. Too late now I guess. Heehheeee

Mark said...

James harden traded to the Rockets for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and draft picks. WHOA.

Mark said...

Game on.

Mark said...

Big response by Notre Dame on this drive.

Danimal said...

Oh boy. Gonna get overturned

Danimal said...

Manti. Teo.

Mark said...

Irish. Impressive.

Danimal said...

Doubters. Fuck you. Fuck you Danimal.

Danimal said...

Get some Teejus.

Danimal said...

Black Bush....being consumed

Danimal said...

Hi.

Danimal said...

Ron Zacapa. Johnny Walker Blue.

TR said...

If Lamb ends up being a player, I really like this OKC trade. Harden may be at his ceiling right now. Martin is a 1-yr rental and Lamb is a potential scorer off the bench. OKC realized the distraction potential all year and acted.

Mark said...

I don't think Harden has hit his celing as he's ony 23. But I do like the trade. Harden wasn't taking less than the max. If Lamb develops he's a great fit with Durant and Westbrook. Plus, one of the first round picks is from Toronto so it should be a high pick that gives OKC a chance at another elite talent.
