Checking the Boxes

G:TB fave Rhett Miller released a new single this week. Its lyrics recall, at least in part, a certain Gheorghie birthday boy. And we're in need of some filler.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Robbie. And for insinuating I’m a total disaster.

Point taken. I’ve been drinking for several hours and now I’m headed to a political event with my favorite US Senator, unsuccessful VP candidate, and music lover, TK. This should go very well.

rob said...

i said, 'in part', my friend.

Danimal said...

If Tiger is not in this thing, no one, and I mean no one, is watching golf today. You'll see a new PGA Tour schedule next year -all of the good stuff will be over by the time college football starts. Good thinkin.
Did some manly stuff today. Hanging TV's and shit. S'all good. I got it.
Getting set for our 2nd "Under the Lights" game this eve. Getcha a recap later.

Whitney said...

ODU tied with Va Tech at half. Yiddit.

Marls said...

The Tribe are...not good. Jimmye may finish with 1 win in his last season.

T.J. said...

I’m drunk poolside in Jamaica. Happy birthday Whit. I’ll drink more for you.

TR said...

VTech - ODU is bonkers. 42-35 ODU w/ 5 mins left.

Mark said...

ODU! ODU!

T.J. said...

Rum! Rum!

TR said...

UK - Miss State is really fun. UK is really playing well.

Danimal said...

That it is Tr. Flipping between it and Tenn UF game....I just have a feeling UT makes this interesting

Danimal said...

Okla Army tied at 21 in the 4th.
Feel for va tech...unfortunate.
And how about those Dukes?

Danimal said...

Other things I have been flipping between....Crops organic cucumber vodka and Deep Eddy's peach vodka. No mixer needed...but if you must, a splash of soda w the peach, or oj. The quk should stay alone.

Danimal said...

Louisiana Tech w 21 straight pts against LSU. Down 3.

Mr KQ said...

David Sills V is a badass.

And Will Griers kid bros have 10 and 5 million followers on Instagram. They're 20 and 18. I think i have 40 or so.

TR said...

This is a w/w that looked uneventful, yet we’ve gotten some fun ones.

My kid decided last year he liked UK. He has been a good sport w/ their football team, knowing they are usually bottom-dwellers in the SEC. He went all-in on the team this year, and tonight will get him more fired up. They look good on O and D against a solid Miss St squad.

TR said...

“is a w/w” means “was a w/e”. Naturally.

Sorry. Scotch.

Mark said...

Tennessee didn’t make it interesting, Dan. I hate Tennessee a whole bunch.

La tech +21 was a nice bet. As was Bama + whatever the fuck. Like I said last week. Cheat code.

I absolutely did not see this Oregon-Stanford game coming.

TR said...

Gus Johnson is pretty brutal. He probably is getting paid, but he’s now doing unexciting Fox games and SCREAMING whenever a play goes for ten yards. The schtick is wearing thin, IMO.

Whitney said...

Bedlam here in Norfolk. ODU.

I managed not to embarrass myself in front of my buddy Tim Kaine. I’d be (more) full of shit if I said I wasn’t pleased as punch when he saw me across a room and said, “Whitney! What’s up on the music scene?” I told him to ask my dad about Springsteen on Broadway and his eyes got wide and then the other folks at the gig swarmed him. TK is the man. Also TR and TJ.

Mark said...

Justin Herbert has been great tonight. Beating the defeat served by both of his terrible names.

Nothing makes me happier than smashing Tennessee. Sadly, I’m already prepared to be smashed by Mississippi State next week.

Mark said...

I did not see this coming in Eugene

Danimal said...

No they didn't Mark. Nice win by the Gators. Looking good now w Kentucky's rise actually, or better at least.
I've got 5 Jets tix for next week that am sadly going to have to give up. Lemme know if any Jets fans out there looking to come to the 904 next week.

TR said...

No can do, Danimal. Jets are hot garbage. Enjoy the Darnold INTs.

rob said...

danimal abbreviated cucumber to quk. i now have to reevaluate everything. that's hot. also, still drunk.

Mark said...

Strong, Rob. I’m not still drunk but definitely feeling the decision to continue drinking post Gator game. Gonna sweat this out at the gym and then lay on my couch and watch the red zone all day.

zman said...

Is that an “8 Million Problems” reference?

Whitney said...

Vikings favored by 17 over the Bills. Seems like a lot. Even for the Bills. Esp for Kirk Cousins.

zman said...

zwoman broke the glass on her phone yesterday and came home today with the newest pssible iPhone. She said “it’s only $40 a month!” I asked for how long. She said “2 years!” I relied that’s almost $1000. She answered with “Well it was 0% financing.” So I guess it’s reasonable?

In other news, I need a new laptop. What should I get? How much memory and all that do I need? I only use it for Word, Excel, Internet, email etc. No gaming or graphic design.

Ideally my laptop will cost less than zwoman’s phone.

zman said...

I don’t see how the Bills cover that spread on the road.

Danimal said...

I'm on my 2nd Dell Latitude. Not sure which model, but had the first one for about 5 years and probably could have kept it a bit longer.

A 17-point spread is a rarity in the NFL. Not touching that one. I do like the Iggles giving 6.5 though.

TR said...

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad that I like. On the small side, and a long battery life. The exact opposite of my genitals.

Danimal said...

Bill's about to be up 41-0

zman said...

Further proof that I know nothing. Thanks for the laptop advice.

Danimal said...

CBT. Can't beat Tennessee.

TR said...

No comments here about El Tigre’s (rather workmanlike) romp today!? More exciting than Giants-Texans.

T.J. said...

I see my large adult son Patrick Mahomes is at it again

Danimal said...

I think all of these guys want Tiger to win.

Danimal said...

The black T under the shirt is a first to my recollection.

Danimal said...

If Rose finishes worse than T5, I think Tiger wins the Cup. Am I right?

TR said...

Somebody snuck into 2nd, ahead of Tigre, me thinks.

TR said...

The chaos on 18 for Tiger is super cool.

Mark said...

The Masters next year is gonna be the hardest ticket around with Tiger back in form.

About to pull some beef short ribs off the smoker. For anyone who likes to smoke meat I can’t recommend those enough. Not labor intensive and they’re fucking delicious. Can be tough to find but if you get good big ones from a local market or butcher they’re a must.

rob said...

get ready to hear the word dildo a lot over the next few days. we live in massively stupid and gross times.

Whitney said...

“I don't need to sit with you fucking dildos any more!”

rob said...

drinking a double orange starfish, courtesy of marls. commence jokery in...three...two...one.

zman said...

I heard rumors that Marls was a starfish but I didn’t believe them until now.

TR said...

Dolphins are an undefeated juggernaut and Jets/Bills/Pats all have the same record. Not how I saw the AFC East playing out into October.

Squeaky said...

Sounds a lot better than the brown starfish.

Had a "I didn't Vote" from MR KQ this weekend. Very good IPA.

Marls said...

The “I Didn’t Vote” IPA is actually called People Power IPA. It is another Aslin offering.

zman said...

Does Kansas City's offensive explosion with essentially a rookie QB highlight how ineffective Alex Smith is?

TR said...

Andy Reid can level up a QB with his system. He turned Smith from “game manager” to “modestly competent,” which was no small feat.

I think Mahomes is just a freak. But to be honest, we all thought Prescott was a freak two years ago, and we all thought Watson was a freak last year.

zman said...

I’ve known you to be a freak for years, in the Rick James sense, not the athletic one.

TR said...

Jamels Winston will start Tampa’s 5th game. The reality of mean reversion is descending upon the Bucs

TR said...

Or not.
