Unfathomable Bravery

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

Mark said...: Took today off and ditched the kid with my parents for the day/night. Going to spend the afternoon daydrinking on the beach.; 12:15 PM, June 06, 2014
mayhugh said...: 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.; 12:33 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: 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?; 1:59 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: Ever wonder what would happen if Rod Laver and Stan Smith had a lovechild?

zman said...: Boris Diaw was +30 last night?!; 2:48 PM, June 06, 2014
Mark said...: Boris Diaw is awesome at basketball. So skilled. Most underrated passer in the league. Totally lazy.; 3:14 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: 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.; 3:59 PM, June 06, 2014
rob said...: 9 fucking titles!; 4:08 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: In a row?; 4:19 PM, June 06, 2014
rob said...: in the family jewels?; 4:31 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: Try not to suck too many titles on your way to the parking lot.; 5:13 PM, June 06, 2014
TR said...: "My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!"

"In a row?"; 5:27 PM, June 06, 2014
TR said...: Hmm. I may be a little late on this joke.; 5:28 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: You're number 37.; 6:25 PM, June 06, 2014
Shlara said...: 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.; 8:50 PM, June 06, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 8:55 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: That's Sargeant X to you.; 9:42 PM, June 06, 2014
rob said...: i kinda dig the beats world cup ad:

http://nypost.com/2014/06/06/beats-by-dr-dres-world-cup-ad-will-get-you-pumped/; 10:09 PM, June 06, 2014
zman said...: Halep showed a ton of heart in that second set tiebreaker. Almost enough to make me root for her over sharapova. Almost.; 1:23 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 1:36 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: Bought a case of Natty Light for less. I'm okay with that.; 2:53 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: time and a place for everything. eagerly awaiting overserving myself on red stripe soon.; 3:03 PM, June 07, 2014
Danimal said...: Heading out to my first soccer game ever. United States of America soccer program!; 3:59 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: If you feed your lawn yourself and use a drop spreader, step your game up to a rotary spreader. It's life changing.; 5:47 PM, June 07, 2014
mayhugh said...: Mark - you think the Sergio/Cotto fight is worth getting? I'm thinking yes.; 5:54 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: I agree, Mayhugh. Watched all the 24/7s this week. I'm all in.; 5:56 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: unimpressive first 20 for the usmnt. i blame danimal.; 6:25 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: I gave someone's mom a rotary spreader.; 7:30 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: Nice to see Jozy get off the schneid. Twice. Also, Michael Bradley is fanfuckingtastic.; 7:31 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: And in too clever by half comments, today we salute Bruce McGill. Whereabouts unknown.; 7:33 PM, June 07, 2014
Danimal said...: In your face you commie bastard; 7:36 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: 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.; 7:38 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 7:41 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: The only soccer gear I'd buy you is of the Orlando City variety. That's not happening though.; 7:46 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: I expected that rob would support some Romanian side.; 7:50 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: fc cluj!; 7:50 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: The prime knit Stan Smiths are $160 so you'll have to ask your wife for those.; 7:51 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 7:52 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: i stand corrected: it's cfr cluj. the railwaymen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFR_Cluj; 7:54 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: I stand corrected is a good song. Don't know about Cluj.; 7:57 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: Is Cluj shorthand for Cliff?; 8:00 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 8:02 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: Better than a derby of splooge. I once used the word splooge in a veering, as a verb. I was young.; 8:07 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: Veering = meeting; 8:07 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: do tell, z. context?; 8:12 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: 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.; 8:57 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: 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.; 8:57 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: 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.; 8:59 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: i think it's pretty cool that mark's open to his wife wanting an arab dude; 9:12 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: wolverine is my favorite superhero, in case you guys are still shopping; 9:13 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: West Virginia got a basketball commitment from a guy named Billydee Williams. Greg approves. Shit, we all approve.; 9:23 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: She's actually a big Amir Johnson fan. She has a thing for athletic, stretch 4s.; 9:25 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: So that's it, huh? I mention a Toronto Raptors role player and everyone is out? Ok.

This hockey game is quite entertaining.; 10:49 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: rangers are flopping like a serie a squad; 10:56 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: and sorry, mark, i've been focused on finding myself a canada women's national team jersey. long story.; 10:57 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: steve nash just retweeted me. i can die happy now.; 11:01 PM, June 07, 2014
Shlara said...: 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.; 11:09 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: rooting for new york? i don't even know who you are, shlara.; 11:10 PM, June 07, 2014
Shlara said...: 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.; 11:14 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: 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.; 11:15 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: 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.; 11:19 PM, June 07, 2014
rob said...: but i've always really liked st louis. and just read the dom moore story. so now i'm pretty conflicted.; 11:28 PM, June 07, 2014
TR said...: Wife and I got "in the zone" for movie night and watched the second Hunger Games. Fun flick. Poor Peta is such a bitch.; 11:48 PM, June 07, 2014
Mark said...: You and your wife took Molly to watch a movie, TR? Ok then. Jersey strong!!; 11:51 PM, June 07, 2014
zman said...: I'm drunker that all of you. Gotate.; 11:57 PM, June 07, 2014
Clarence said...: Ain't no way, Z. Ain't no way.; 12:02 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: 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.; 12:03 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: 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...; 12:11 AM, June 08, 2014
Mark said...: I currently have a really, really good hockey beard going. If the playoffs lasted 6 months.; 12:21 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Hola Georghies.

Fuck the Rangers.; 12:22 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Steve Coburn's rant was very unGheorghe. Not surprising for a person from California.; 12:25 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: 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.; 12:30 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: T Marls, how's she blowin'?; 12:47 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: Marls, Three Sheets played American Girl. Not yacht rock?; 12:48 AM, June 08, 2014
Mark said...: Pretty early Hola Gheorghies by Marls. Consider Us disappointed.; 12:48 AM, June 08, 2014
Dave said...: hey gheorghies!

hockey is very silly; 12:51 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: Perhaps Marls is in Spain. Which would be impressive. But not to Spaniards.; 12:53 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Not yacht rock. You need to tell Topper that he has lost the Smooth.; 12:57 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Not in Spain. Just enjoying being over served in NYC for the last few weeks before moving to the Old Dominion.; 12:59 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: Get it out of your system up there. We don't drink much in Virginia.; 1:02 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: 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.; 1:09 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: Hi Gheorghies. Looking like my comrades petered out early. I sympathize with you, but it doesn't mean I don't pity you.; 1:43 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Who is this Peter guy you speak of?; 2:00 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: Most people's "hi Gheorghies" are seeing who's up. Dave's = "good night."; 2:07 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Maybe he should use "Aloha Gheorghies".; 2:38 AM, June 08, 2014
Clarence said...: I have nothing left in my arsenal. Adieu, mon gheorghies.; 2:41 AM, June 08, 2014
Marls said...: Bon chance, Clarence.; 2:52 AM, June 08, 2014
zman said...: Changing a poopie diaper while hungover is not enjoyable. Watching low grade Thomas and Friends videos narrated by Alec Baldwin (?!) is.; 9:35 AM, June 08, 2014
TR said...: Rafa and Novak are good at the tennising.; 10:35 AM, June 08, 2014
