It's Kickstarter time, folks

Gheorghe's house is up for sale. It only costs $2.1M. Let's get on this, immediately.

It's a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 9,159-square-foot house. Perfect for our little blog community.

Oh yeah, chickens and peacocks apparently run around the backyard. And look at that gorgeous fucking pool!

Bonus: The McIlvaine quote is pretty ghreat.

Dave said...

one of my students made a video that went viral. link on sentence of dave. totally absurd.

Squeaky said...

Spoiler alert, said video does not include Dave. I was hoping it some random thing you did. I guess we'll have to wait for OBFT.

Whitney said...

Gheorghe is in some commenting doldrums. I blame myself. Let’s get after it.

Whitney said...

Also, Squeaky longing for video of Dave is just the homoeroticism OBFT 25 needs to make it memorable.

Whitney said...

Not enough people have wished our tiny dictator a happy 48th here.

Happy Birthday, my friend.

Also, I've been drinking.

Danimal said...

Happy birthday Rob!

Mark said...

Happy birthday, Rob. I’ve been delinquent in my commenting this week and last. The combination of vacation and getting back to work after vacation did me in. ‘Twas productive and responsible week though.

Danimal said...

Just caught up in some SOD...some good funny stuff Dave. Congrats on the dog and the Tupperware.

The Honda Civic Type R is an amazing car and an amazing value. Unfortunately it looks like one of Optimus Prime's turds.

My U8 travel baseball team lost 11-9 in the first round of the playoffs tonight. Two of my worst players, who i try to hide in the OF, murdered me w/ defensive gaffes. My kid had a two-run single to cut the deficit from 11-7 to 11-9 in the bottom of the last inning, but it was not meant to be.

For those of you keeping track of this blog’s modern day Leo Durocher, my next big coaching moment is the 4th grade rec baseball championship at 930 AM tmrw. All this baseball coaching is fun and manageable when you don’t have a job. But employment is looming, for better and for worse. My deadlift will suffer, but my bank account will benefit.

TR said...

Turns out 2 glasses of wine is all you need to get loopy when you are dehydrated and haven’t eaten dinner!

rob said...

this may be true, but a couple of pours of really good tequila do a nice job, as well

TR said...

CNN’s Bourdain special is infinitely more interesting than this disgraceful NBA game. I hate to be nosy, but I’m dying to learn about what drove him to such a decison. He had such a cool public life.

TR said...

Maron reposted his 2011 podcast w/ Bourdain. I listened to it then, and listened to a lot of it again today. It was a life well-lived.

TR said...

Sooo anticlimactic. LBJ is a Laker in short order.

Shlara said...

Sixers, TR
LBJ will be playing in Philly

Mark said...

My wife loved Bourdain. As I did. She texted me about him this morning. I texted her this, “Mental health knows no socioeconomic bounds.”. It’s simplistic but it’s true. Life is hard. No matter who you are.

TR said...

I like that call, Shlara. They’ll have to give Fultz away. He becomes useless. And they’ll need one more piece, even after adding LBJ.

T.J. said...

Happy 6/9, gang

rob said...

clicks

Mark said...

Bubblin by Anderson. Paak is my jam.

TR said...

Brutal 6-2 loss in rec finals. My kid had the misfortune of lining a single to center with a runner on first and two outs that became an 8-6 force at second.

Whitney said...

Sorry, TR. These are not, as they say, the salad days.

Whitney said...

I just saw a woman walking down the street who was the spitting image of Ted Kennedy in his last years. Her hair was perfect. Not a terrible insult, not hideous.

Whitney said...

And my Zevon hat-tip was for you, TR

Whitney said...

And the Kennedy dopplepoontanger got me thinking. If you want to go Bruce Jenner, it’s best if you do it at an advanced age. You don’t really have to change your haircut.

Shlara said...

The caps out in Georgetown with the Cup, doing cup-keg stands, swimming in fountains and getting tattoos. Also taking to Jared & Ivanka At Cafe Milano. They look like they’ve been drunk since Thursday night

Danimal said...

Jared and Ivanka or the Caps?
Anyone else by chance watching the college track & field championships? It just ended on a 4 x 400 relay - you'll see highlights on the twitter if you pay attention.

Danimal said...

Cray cray finish which has yet to be decided. Whatever the outcome, will be flush with controversy.

Danimal said...

Georgia loses by a bulldog scrotum hair. I can't believe you guys aren't glued to this.

rob said...

i watched it danimal, it was bonkers.

in other news, rootsy will be happy to know that i just booked tickets to see the indigo girls in charlottesville in july. i'll be working on my harmonization. wife and i are taking a mini-vacay while our kids are in europe. accepting c'ville food and drink recommendations.

Shlara said...

All of them Danimal

Whitney said...

I have no comment on the Indigo Girls and Rob's choices... except to say that they came to Norfolk and a friend handled the food for the rider and the two Girls do not speak to each other.

It's better Random Idiots never made it big. There is no way Dave and I would be hanging out these days. We needed a break from each other by the time we drove to Colorado.

rob said...

my wife likes them and i saw a chance to make a comment that rootsy would enjoy. i'll go a long way for a gtb bit.

the caps are having a very gheorghie couple of days, if we were rich, famous, and world champions. one out of three ain't bad, i guess.

TR said...

Watching Crazyheart for the first time. Thinking this movie is good requires all kinds of leaps of faith. Colin Farrell as a country icon!? Meh.

Whitney said...

Willing suspension of disbelief, TR. If Billy Ray Cyrus could do it (for 90 seconds)...

Mark said...

Crazyheart is on my list of movies to watch over the summer. Moving it down that list now.
