Unfathomable Bravery

The only words really necessary - and capable of conveying the scope and scale of our debt - are "thank you".

  1. Took today off and ditched the kid with my parents for the day/night. Going to spend the afternoon daydrinking on the beach.

  2. That is damn patriotic of you. I am going to see a cover band that attended our alma mater with some of the younger guys.

  3. LinkedIn is creepy. Somehow the justice of the peace that married me to zwoman appeared at the top of my "people you might know" list. Do they troll through marriage licenses to make these lists?

  4. Ever wonder what would happen if Rod Laver and Stan Smith had a lovechild?

  5. OhGodOhGodOhGod. I must have those.

  6. Boris Diaw was +30 last night?!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Boris Diaw is awesome at basketball. So skilled. Most underrated passer in the league. Totally lazy.

  8. Last time Nadal played Djokovic at Roland Garros they went all the way to a 9-7 5th set so Sunday's match should be another slugfest. I'll root for Nadal because a 9th French title for him is more palatable than a career slam for Djokovic.

  9. Try not to suck too many titles on your way to the parking lot.

  10. "My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!"

    "In a row?"

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hmm. I may be a little late on this joke.

  12. Well, hello haed coach Quin Snyder--back on the "head coach hottie" list. Glad to see he's clawing his way back to the top. He's nice to look at.

  13. fact that i learned today that i probably should've already known: (got more rhymes than) j.d. ('s got) salinger carried the first six chapters of catcher in the rye with him as he landed on utah beach on d-day.

    ReplyDelete
  14. That's Sargeant X to you.

  16. Halep showed a ton of heart in that second set tiebreaker. Almost enough to make me root for her over sharapova. Almost.

    ReplyDelete
  17. just paid $17 for a six-pack of beer and couldn't be happier about it. ballast point sculpin is an incredible ipa - get some.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bought a case of Natty Light for less. I'm okay with that.

    ReplyDelete
  19. time and a place for everything. eagerly awaiting overserving myself on red stripe soon.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Heading out to my first soccer game ever. United States of America soccer program!

    ReplyDelete
  21. If you feed your lawn yourself and use a drop spreader, step your game up to a rotary spreader. It's life changing.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mark - you think the Sergio/Cotto fight is worth getting? I'm thinking yes.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I agree, Mayhugh. Watched all the 24/7s this week. I'm all in.

    ReplyDelete
  24. unimpressive first 20 for the usmnt. i blame danimal.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I gave someone's mom a rotary spreader.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Nice to see Jozy get off the schneid. Twice. Also, Michael Bradley is fanfuckingtastic.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And in too clever by half comments, today we salute Bruce McGill. Whereabouts unknown.

    ReplyDelete
  28. In your face you commie bastard

    ReplyDelete
  29. And by today I mean yesterday. And by I'm sober I mean I've been drinking since noon yesterday and I'm probably not. And tomorrow is Rob's birthday so get shopping.

    ReplyDelete
  30. clarence pioneering a new poetry style known as 'shitfaced haiku'.

    although you really should get shopping. i wear a smedium t-shirt. the new york city fc gear is pretty fly.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The only soccer gear I'd buy you is of the Orlando City variety. That's not happening though.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I expected that rob would support some Romanian side.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The prime knit Stan Smiths are $160 so you'll have to ask your wife for those.

    ReplyDelete
  34. i generally support dc united in the domestic league, but i'm not averse to whoring myself around, gearwise, in mls. and dc united's stuff is pretty boring.

    ReplyDelete
  35. i stand corrected: it's cfr cluj. the railwaymen.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFR_Cluj

    ReplyDelete
  36. I stand corrected is a good song. Don't know about Cluj.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Is Cluj shorthand for Cliff?

    ReplyDelete
  38. cfr cluj has an intense rivalry with universitatea cluj. their matches are known as the derby of cluj. which i assume means they play for some sort of hat.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Better than a derby of splooge. I once used the word splooge in a veering, as a verb. I was young.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I showed my wife a pic of those Stan Smith's yesterday. She wants Amir of her own. She's not getting any (from me) but she can't protest my purchase now.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Rob actually wears a Boys Large, which makes it easy if you want to give him superhero stuff.

    Wondering if all GTBers understand the significance of Cluj. Might need some remedial Gheorghe training.

    ReplyDelete
  42. And being friends with people means you admire their passions even when you don't understand them. I got mine. You guys and your sneakers, drive on.

    ReplyDelete
  43. i think it's pretty cool that mark's open to his wife wanting an arab dude

    ReplyDelete
  44. wolverine is my favorite superhero, in case you guys are still shopping

    ReplyDelete
  45. West Virginia got a basketball commitment from a guy named Billydee Williams. Greg approves. Shit, we all approve.

    ReplyDelete
  46. She's actually a big Amir Johnson fan. She has a thing for athletic, stretch 4s.

    ReplyDelete
  47. So that's it, huh? I mention a Toronto Raptors role player and everyone is out? Ok.

    This hockey game is quite entertaining.

    ReplyDelete
  48. rangers are flopping like a serie a squad

    ReplyDelete
  49. and sorry, mark, i've been focused on finding myself a canada women's national team jersey. long story.

    ReplyDelete
  50. steve nash just retweeted me. i can die happy now.

    ReplyDelete
  51. hockey playoffs--pretty exciting, huh?
    I want the Rangers to win the Cup. I like Brian Boyle and that Dom Moore kid--his story is just heart-breaking. He needs this.

    ReplyDelete
  52. rooting for new york? i don't even know who you are, shlara.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Rob--tell me you're cheering for the kings? Just 'cause you're BFF with Steve Nash doesn't mean you need to go all Hollywood...

    And, I still think it's funny to see Keith Jones on these broadcasts...he played for the Caps back in the day. Quiet dude, never would have predicted he'd be on TV.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I worked for the Lightning for half of the 2004 season. Met Marty St. Louis during my time there. Awesome guy. I'm rooting for him, and thus the Rangers.

    ReplyDelete
  55. i'm not so much rooting for the kings as i am rooting against the rangers. i root against new york teams as a matter of course.

    ReplyDelete
  56. but i've always really liked st louis. and just read the dom moore story. so now i'm pretty conflicted.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Wife and I got "in the zone" for movie night and watched the second Hunger Games. Fun flick. Poor Peta is such a bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  58. You and your wife took Molly to watch a movie, TR? Ok then. Jersey strong!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm drunker that all of you. Gotate.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Ain't no way, Z. Ain't no way.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I just watched the yacht rock band that played at our wedding deliver a very silly set at Harborfest. And then my wife had them all sign a Three Sheets to the Wind print. I enjoy my life.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Mark likes Martin St. Louis and the St. Louis Cardinals. Not quite Jerry's excellent theory of Rob liking all teams with red ("Why don't you just get an Yzerman sweater and call it a day" is one of the better quips to ever get punted into the blogosphere), but it's interesting. Mark does look like Charles Lindbergh...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I currently have a really, really good hockey beard going. If the playoffs lasted 6 months.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hola Georghies.

    Fuck the Rangers.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Steve Coburn's rant was very unGheorghe. Not surprising for a person from California.

    ReplyDelete
  66. BTW, New York City FC is 20% owned by the Yankees. I'm happy to pick up a onesie for you Rob if you don't mind supporting the coffers of the Steinbrenner clan.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Marls, Three Sheets played American Girl. Not yacht rock?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Pretty early Hola Gheorghies by Marls. Consider Us disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  69. hey gheorghies!

    hockey is very silly

    ReplyDelete
  70. Perhaps Marls is in Spain. Which would be impressive. But not to Spaniards.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Not yacht rock. You need to tell Topper that he has lost the Smooth.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Not in Spain. Just enjoying being over served in NYC for the last few weeks before moving to the Old Dominion.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Get it out of your system up there. We don't drink much in Virginia.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Dave says hockey is very silly, presumably because it's played on ice.

    What he believes is not silly is climbing across a highway overpass naked while hammered, also on ice as it was frozen over. Not silly.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hi Gheorghies. Looking like my comrades petered out early. I sympathize with you, but it doesn't mean I don't pity you.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Who is this Peter guy you speak of?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Most people's "hi Gheorghies" are seeing who's up. Dave's = "good night."

    ReplyDelete
  78. Maybe he should use "Aloha Gheorghies".

    ReplyDelete
  79. I have nothing left in my arsenal. Adieu, mon gheorghies.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Changing a poopie diaper while hungover is not enjoyable. Watching low grade Thomas and Friends videos narrated by Alec Baldwin (?!) is.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Rafa and Novak are good at the tennising.
