Fashion is Dumb Two-Fer

Sent from TR, my #1 FID correspondent...worst job ever trying to put on a bow tie.

The Gore Vidal? Or is it the Paul Reubens?

And, honestly, I don't know what the hell is going on here. Is that first one a bud? Is that followed by a turd and then kale? Just terrifying awful shit.

I'd smoke that nug.

zman said...

Where do you carry your wallet and cell phone with those get-ups?

zman said...

Jongro is on the docket for dinner this evening. Woe to whomever follows me into the bathroom tomorrow.

rootsminer said...

I should not have looked up Jongro while hungry. Looks amazing.

TR said...

Zman is a K-Town VIP.

rob said...

tribe are 11.5 point home favorites over woeful uncw. better be careful not to overlook the seahawks with c of c headed into town this weekend. whitney is 1:1 to barf on himself or someone else before midnight.

Mark said...

Jongro is legit for sure. Zman recommended it to me a few years back. He did not steer me wrong.

Completely unrelated: The Egg Bowl is about to be as exciting and ridiculous as it’s ever been. I’m legitimately excited about Leach in Starkville.

Whitney said...

Rob and I drank together for hours and there was no barfing at all. We drank a memorial gathering under the table and still... no barfing. Some of our comrades, they were maybes, but he and I held fast.

zman said...

I reek of kimchi and soju.

TR said...

I fell off the January wagon last night. Two glasses of wine at a dinner. Followed that up with couch bourbon. I feel awful. May need to go back on wagon until Feb.

zman said...

This is pretty Gheorghe:

TR said...

That is tremendous. Ken is the shit.

Whitney said...

I really enjoyed that obit. We should all write one.

Danimal said...

Neal Peart...no!!!

zman said...

zson learned all the words to the “Dick in a Box” sketch. smother-in-law isn’t impressed.

zman said...

Two, put your junk in that box.

TR said...

I was gonna show Dick in a Box to my kids, but wife freaked out about it. Probably the right move.

TR said...

I don’t see how hopping is going to help you sell books, Clara.

mr kq said...

When it comes to hopping Clara I prefer Citra and Mosaic

Mark said...

Dick in a box is genius level comedy. I’m gonna watch it again right now.

zman said...

Amazingly, ‘twas zwoman, not I, who showed the sketch to zson. They were watching a best of SNL video channel and Dick in a Box came on. Apparently he’s been watching it regularly for a month or so but zwoman was worried I would be angry so it’s been their secret. I am not angry of course, this is one of the few times she read me completely wrong. Her mother, however, is not pleased.

Whitney said...

smother-in-law is a funny typo

Whitney said...

And I’m more of a Lazy Sunday or I’m on a Boat guy, though Dick in a Box is outstanding.

Whitney said...

Happy Birthday, Shlara

TR said...

I just spent 75 mins yelling at 4th grade boys who repeatedly barked at a rec basketball referee. For once, it wasn’t mine acting up. If I get arrested, that’s why. Kids suck sometimes.

Danimal said...

You guys watchin the Dukes today? I do hope so...a little CAA pride is good for the soul. Though I do believe they're going to get steamrolled.
What a great opportunity this was for someone, who is say on the left side of the production bell curve, to post something. Anything!

Danimal said...

And Happy birthday Shlara!

TR said...

Am I the only one thinking 5.5 pts is too much for Clemson to get? They contained OSU’s monster offense pretty well.

rob said...

your tribe are 1.5-point favorites at home against first-place charleston. cougars are good. as is charleston. grant riller is a baaad man.

Whitney said...

I agree with TR but I’m not the gambling guru

Shlara said...

Thanks guys! My sister had baby #2 on Thursday, so I have been parenting toddler #1 this week. Started my 50th at 630am with Play Doh and unicorn sprinkle cookies.

Mark said...

Happy Birthday Shlara!!

I follow Chris Chiozza on Twitter and just saw a picture of him wearing a DC Go Go hoodie. I MUST HAVE ONE!

Donna said...

Happy bday Shlara! Sounds like a good (early!) start! Dukes still have a chance

zman said...

Happy birthday Shlara. If you get tired of unicorns try the dick in a box sketch, kids love it.

Whitney said...

Almost came back there, Danimal

T.J. said...

This better be the fucking year #1bid4wmtribe

TR said...

Tonight will be my first time grilling tomahawk steaks. Very excited. And a bit nervous. Those m-fers are huge.

Mark said...

Tomahawks are fucking awesome. Tough to find around here so I usually end up doing very large bone in ribeyes. The smoke/seat combo is good for both of those cuts.

Mark said...

I Dadded the shit out of today. Up early and made breakfast. Hit the gym and then coached a 7U basketball game. Made lunch and took the kid to a nerf blaster/dodgeball birthday party. Then went to a coed baby shower (Why is this a thing?). Now home with the family and another kid for a sleepover. Gonna let the wife run that show though. The playoffs and my couch are calling.

rob said...

my kidlet got her first college acceptance today, from ithaca college. good to get that first one out of the way. hoping now to find a place not quite so spendy.

TR said...

Is Roadhouse Jeff Healey’s opus, or is Jeff Healey Roadhouse’s opus?

zman said...

Did you get the steaks at Summit Meat House? Their tomahawks are supposedly superb.

Mark said...

Ryan Tannethrill!! Gotta hurt to watch him for Dolphins fans. Good. Fuck the Dolphins.

TR said...

I ordered a bunch of Piedmont beef cuts from Piedmontese.com. It’s a leaner cut of beef. The breed originally came from Italy. When they have discounts, I order a bunch. It gets delivered in dry ice. The sirloins and filet mignons are lean as hell and delicious when cooked rare. I have my kids loving rare/medium rare meat, which makes me happy for some reason.

rob said...

james harden had 11 turnovers tonight. in the first half. that's impressive.

Danimal said...

That Piedmontdeez is the hot tip of 2020. Thanks guy. Inexpensive too or am I missing something?
2nd wkd in a row for the Bikram 90 min hot yoga! Gonna grow a pony tail now. Get some.
Titans came to play. That 69 degree game temp probably didn't hurt.

rob said...

i will pay good american money to see danimal with a pony tail.

Danimal said...

Haven't seen the Bikram doc...anyone here seen it yet? The namesake allegedly liked to have a bit of the sexy with his students. Is student the right word? Yogi's? Anyway...he was a perv, but he gets none of the money from the studio I get my moves on. There's my disclaimer.

TR said...

I saw the Bikram doc and listened to a podcast on the topic. He is a narcissist and sociopath for sure, and likely a rapist. Definitely follows the path of a messiah-like cult leader.

Can’t believe you can do a 90-min hot yoga class. I’ve done my share of 1-hr classes, but it’s a challenge, w/ the heat and the sweating. And the effort involved - washing your mat and washing a towel - makes it a PITA. Once my feeble neck heals and my atrophy is addressed, I want to take a few classes again.

Danimal said...

I'll have to watch it.
Last week, I sat through a few of the moves...was struggling big time. Didn't have to this week but there are times I just want to get the fuck out. Feel great though afterwards. I kinda dig it.

Mark said...

My wife goes to yoga whenever she visits her friend in Jax Beach. Don’t think it’s hot yoga though.

One thing I am sure of is that I don’t enjoy watching this year’s edition of Florida Basketball play

Dave said...

i always forget just how weird this is:

Dave said...

sentence of ken!

Here’s how Iowa celebrates a 70-degree day in the middle of March: By washing the car and scooping the loop and taking a walk; by daydreaming in school and playing hooky at work and shutting off the furnace at home; by skate-boarding and flying kites and digging through closets for baseball gloves; by riding that new bike you got for Christmas and drawing hopscotch boxes in chalk on the sidewalk and not caring if the kids lost their mittens again; by looking for robins and noticing swimsuits on department store mannequins and shooting hoops in the park; by sticking the ice scraper in the trunk and the antifreeze in the garage and leaving the car parked outside overnight; by cleaning the barbecue and stuffing the parka in storage and just standing outside and letting that friendly sun kiss your face; by wondering where you’re going to go on summer vacation and getting reacquainted with neighbors on the front porch and telling the boys that yes! yes! they can run outside and play without a jacket; by holding hands with a lover and jogging in shorts and picking up the extra branches in the yard; by eating an ice cream cone outside and (if you’re a farmer or gardener) feeling that first twinge that says it’s time to plant and (if you’re a high school senior) feeling that first twinge that says it’s time to leave; by wondering if in all of history there has ever been a day so glorious and concluding that there hasn’t and being afraid to even stop and take a breath (or begin a new paragraph) for fear that winter would return, leaving Wednesday in our memory as nothing more than a sweet and too-short dream.

Danimal said...

Two more yoga comments...I recommend for all of the aging males here, not necessarily of the hot and 90 minute sort. I do believe it will keep my past lower back issues at bay among a host of other benefits. And if I had any other yoga class to compare it to, making it through that first one probably wouldn’t have happened.

This is the first time I’ve watched the Ravens. Lamar can really sling it...his arm reminds me of Vick’s.

Danimal said...

Had never seen the Shatner vid. I had to stop after 30 seconds.

rob said...

dave follows the links so you don't have to. mazel.

T.J. said...

I’m terrified of a 90 min hot yoga class, but I do go to 4-5 yoga classes a week, 3 of which are of the good cardio variety.

And the Ravens are getting housed rn

Danimal said...

Namaste Teej.

The jags beat the titans 20-7 in week 3.

rob said...

working on the 90-minute tantric class. not going all that well.

T.J. said...

I’m currently wearing a Gnomaste tshirt.

TR said...

Hot yoga is the shit. When you’re doing it, you’re warmed up and focused on flexibility and body-resistance strength exercises. It’s exactly what we all should be doing.

Downside of the hot yoga joint in my town is that it gets packed and many dudes in the class go shirtless for it. And the smell is intense.

Danimal said...

Game over.

TR said...

Ryan Tannehill’s agent has to be fully erect, thinking about his client’s next contract.

Mark said...

I’m obviously not a Ravens fan but I am a fan of Lamar Jackson. Bummed that this game will feed deeply into the narrative around him and not being able to win with “athletic” QBs.

Mark said...

Tannehill bet on himself with the one year deal with Tennessee. Good for him. Get paid.

TJ is coming to visit in late February so I’m just gonna let him be my Yogi.

rob said...

'hey, boo boo, i just picked these berries that look like mushrooms. try one.'

Mark said...

Still time to book a flight, Rob.

rob said...

big mini-summit concert festival happening that weekend. much excite.

Mark said...

Two summits on the same weekend then. The former director of The Wheelhouse (and his bride) will be visiting as well. All of our non blog wives have become friends.

Mark said...

Derrick Henry continues to be a fucking mutant. Hardest bruising back to tackle since...Earl Campbell?
