Yummy is kind of a creepy word, Shlara.

There's something that bothers me with that pic. I think it's because I've always thought of Ernie as the big spoon.

In the uncropped version of the photo, you can see Kevin Clash being fellated by Elmo.

Danimal said...

holla! apple blossom mall - sweeet. head into foot locker where they probably have pictures of me and. mr. buckles from the days of yore. all-star shoe peddlers we were.

Danimal said...

I sent the image from this post to zwoman and she asked which one is me and which one is TR. She also asked what we were watching on TV.

Met my folks out for dinner. As we got to dinner we saw a car hit another car in the parking lot. And then it hit another. I tried to stop the offending car. He waved me off and peeled out if the parking lot. The dbag driving was wearing a Tennessee Vols shirt. I snitched in his bitch ass. Never trust a Vol.

Best comment of 2003.

And today is Mr. Buckles' birthday, which I assume Danimal knew. I am guessing that was why Rob was in Winchester.

7:33 PM, June 28, 2013
rob said...

paying homage, for sure.

spending the weekend at friends' river house on the rappahannock. dc types will be interested to know that the place is owned by the owner of the venerable dixie liquors.

If you're looking for someone to here for now that the men's draw has been decimated of seeds, I suggest Jerzy Janowicz. Everyone loves a giant Pole.

My daughter really digs Prince. So that's awesome.

If you're near a TV right now you should turn on espn2 so you can see the trunks being worn by Magic Willis. Absolutely ridiculous.

9:08 PM, June 28, 2013
zman said...

They look like the ting ou go through at the end of the car wash.

9:12 PM, June 28, 2013
Mark said...

Zman nailed it, even with the typos. He's wearing trunks that appear to be made out of the washing fabric things from the car wash.

Friday night, nothing? This place used to be cool.

Or, if you consider an internet blog a really nerdy place to be on a Saturday night, this place is really cool.

The name Madison Keys has a porn-ish ring to it.

My wife is out of town for an engagement party. I have both kids and am going to a friend's kid's first birthday party and a food truck event with them. I see lots if whiskey in my late night future.

older daughter dunked younger daughter in the river. younger daughter responded with a textbook right to the jaw. i punished her, but i'm pretty proud of that little scrapper.

1:20 PM, June 29, 2013
Danimal said...

Nice. I had my middle child, let's call her Satan, claw the face of her older brother. Satan won't be doing that again.

The Pats are serious about their anti-Hernandez stance. They are taking straight-up trade-ins for his jersey. I've never heard of that before.

Mr KQ said...

Someone criticized a friend of my almost 13 yr old daughter on Ask.fm. Her response? A rant ending with "and go shove a knife up your ass". Didn't see that one coming but gurl has her back.

We're about to get a fifth set on ESPN.

TR said...

Just came back from a 69-mile drive to Allentown, PA for my (wait for it) 5 y/o son's 3x3 soccer tourney. I swore I wouldn't be one of those dads, by I'm heading down that road. And the kid loved it.

Now I have that Billy Joel song stuck in my head...

daydrinking, it's so choice

3:29 PM, June 29, 2013
rob said...

we're with friends from the neighborhood at their river house this weekend. the dad, who's 3-4 years older than me, has terminal brain cancer, which sucks indescribably. there are moments, though, when levity sneaks in amidst the sadness.

for instance, one of the symptoms of his illness at this late stage is a tendency towards confabulation. he tells the most amazing stories about his life, as if they're completely true. i sat with him last night on the back porch while he regaled me with a detailed, riveting story about the major drug ring he ran as a younger man. i wish i'd taken notes.

cancer fucking sucks, friends, but there are times when humanity beats it.

3:51 PM, June 29, 2013
Dave said...

just got back from daydrinking in the red nun, watching tennis, kids with my parents. awesome, until rob brought up terminal brain cancer.

4:39 PM, June 29, 2013
rob said...

in the end, danimal, it's a story about finding happiness where you can. so be happy, cocksucker.

american u19 men's hoops team beats russia, 115-47, at the world championships. suck it, drago.

wearing a big gay ice cream t-shirt to a redneck tiki bar this evening. was a true pleasure knowing all of you.

5:32 PM, June 29, 2013
Whitney said...

Any reason you responded to Dave's comment with a slag about Danimal? Dick.

Oh, maybe this answers it.

6:12 PM, June 29, 2013
rob said...

that's an egregious error on my part. i blame the dale's.

6:18 PM, June 29, 2013
Clarence said...

Don't you blame the Dale's. it don't make you do a thing, it just lets you.

6:52 PM, June 29, 2013
rob said...

if i didn't know better, i'd wonder if the dale's wanted me to fall down on my face

7:45 PM, June 29, 2013
Danimal said...

read that comment and thought, whoa....you diiiick, jeff spiccoli style. But then i thought about the guy you were hangin out with and then thought, does HE think rob too has a terminal disease? He must.
It's all good now cuz the kids are down and am sipping on a black bushmills. Been too long.

7:49 PM, June 29, 2013
Mr KQ said...

I'm on a nice Dale's - Stone - Green Flash progression.

'Hands on the Wheel' is pretty much every bad rap cliche. And I still love it.

9:25 PM, June 29, 2013
Mark said...

Food truck events are pretty fun. Not as good as this Four Roses Small Batch though.

9:36 PM, June 29, 2013
Mark said...

There's a guy boxing on HBO who goes by the last name Oousthuizen. Gonna sit here and pretend its Louie.

10:52 PM, June 29, 2013
rob said...

mark, mayhugh, did you watch the golovkin fight? everything i read suggests he's a motherfucker, in the best way.

12:03 AM, June 30, 2013
zman said...

If you find yourself in NYC you should go see The Assembled Parties. It's like an O Henry story with an uplifting ending.

12:06 AM, June 30, 2013
rob said...

a fucking punch to the liver to end the fight. that's some motherfuckery.

hi, gheorghies, you sallies.

I did see it, Mayhugh. I saw the punch. DIRTY. I've been drinking.

12:25 AM, June 30, 2013
rob said...

12:30 AM, June 30, 2013

Doubly so for rob.

12:33 AM, June 30, 2013

Hi Gheorghies

I just returned from Hawaii so still 6 hours behind mentally and watching the west coast feed of boxing now. Really enjoying Willie Nelson's work right now (the fighter, not the country guy).

I am not terribly familiar with Golovkin, but trying to get back into watching the HBO presentations. I have read about his heavy hands (boxing term not quite as fun as the soccer/rugby usage of 'clean heels'). His opponent has not exactly been on a tear but a body shot KO is not something a lot of guys have on their resume, especially at that weight. That usually happens at heavyweight when the opponent is quite soggy around the midsection.

I think my favorite boxing slang is 'beard'. Jim Lampley used to use it all the time when a guy was getting pummeled around the head/face but wasn't falling. I still remember Vitali Klitchko avenging his brother's knockout to Sanders and Lampley exclaiming "Corey Sanders has a beard!"

1:16 AM, June 30, 2013
mayhugh said...

Serioulsy, Willie Nelson's moniker is "The Great"? He couldn't have gone with "The Highwayman" or even the nonsensical "The Red-Headed Stranger"?

1:37 AM, June 30, 2013
Clarence said...

Rob issues a Hi, Gheorghies at 12:11 on a Saturday night? Come on.

Hi, Gheorghies.

1:40 AM, June 30, 2013
mayhugh said...

Some of the other boxing monikers tonight are pretty ho-hum:

Brandon "Flawless" Gonzalez

Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen

However, I do like "Mack the Knife" for Mackline. And a quick Wiki of Golovkin revealed an Appolo Creed-esque number and variety of nicknames:

-Triple G

-Good Boy

-God of War

-Kazakh KO King
