DraftKings is the new Skynet


"The DraftKings Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 2017. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. DraftKings begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."

"DraftKings fights back?"

"Yes. It launches its parlays against the targets in Russia."

"Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?"

"Because DraftKings knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here."

Is this a Wargames reference?

I'm too out of sorts from my annual physical this morning to figure this out. I was finger blasted rather invasively.

The only doggone motherscratcher I recognize is Steve McQueen.

Also, the first thing my doc (who I've known for 5+ years) said to me when I walked in: You need Viagra?

Does this happen to everybody, or I do exude a flaccid vibe?

spent the evening at surly brewing's 50,000 square foot beer hall. it's real and it's spectacular. like a taj mahal, only made to worship beer rather than entomb a favored wife.

I had a doubleheader back-to-school night. Rob wins.
