Sometimes the moment meets the man. Or the woman. Given the circumstances, it's difficult to say. The Independent Tweeted this earlier in the week:
The Dread Pirate Roberts, Wesley version, applauds. Scientists, too, because they found a way to make the drastic changes to the Earth's climate mean something to the fuckboi community, if only for a moment. But for reals, as Spring comes earlier and earlier, larvae hatch earler, and immature tits have a harder time finding food. Someone give TR the book report version of this. Pretty sure he started weeping at the headline and never got this far.
Thought that story was worth above the fold treatment, and I'm kinda feeling like I intro every post in roughly the same way, so we're mixing it up in this 'sbord. But there's a lotta fun shit happening, so we need to let it out into the world.
I've learned a bunch from z about cars during the G:TB era. So much so that he thought I'm growns up enough to handle Sports Car Market magazine, which is...holy shit, y'all, it's like Bring A Trailer for kids with way too much money. I'm smitten. And I will never be able to but anything more than next year's subscription. But if you need a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports and you've got $5m kicking around, I'm your guy.
I'll buy that car, or one like it, when my ownership stake in FC Pingzau Saalfelden comes good. For now, though, the dream is deferred. The Mountainous Pine Blues sit squarely in the middle of the Austrian Regionalliga Salzburg table with a 5-1-7 record. Or sat, really, as the season's been cancelled due to COVID-19. In the midst of all that, CEO Mark Ciociola resigned. Or 'resigned'. We may not make the UEFA Champions League this year.
There is one thing to look forward to in the upcoming William & Mary basketball season, and it happens next week. Nathan Knight has an outside chance of being selected late in the second round of the NBA Draft next Wednesday. He had a great combine, shooting better from three-point range than any other big man. He's thought of as a bit stiff and less versatile than the James Wisemans of the world, but he's got a W&M degree, can shoot it, operate out of the pick and roll, pass, and defend the rim. So you're saying there's a chance? Eh, he'll make a ton of money in Europe.
And finally, I've made some dumb impulse purchases during the pandemic, but I'm pretty excited about this one. Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente, known as Xolos, play in the top division of Mexican soccer. They're a relatively new side, founded in 2007, but they've had a decent amount of success, winning a league title in 2012. Club Tijuana's nickname references the ancient Aztec god of dogs, the Xolo. They ain't beautiful, but they're distinctive. As are the kits the club rolled out in honor of Dio de los Muertos:
That's gonna look good on me. As is 2021.

Xolos de Caliente = Hot Dogs?
“ Still, the president’s team has pushed forward, working 12- to 15-hour days as they race against certification deadlines. They’ve set up a hotline staffed by 40 people to collect reports of irregularities. Prank calls have proven disruptive, however.”
God bless America.
i come here to tell of a holiday miracle. last night, my wife's sister called and expressed reservations about getting the entire family together for thanksgiving. they decided to call off the gathering. blessed. anything you guys want me to ask for today?
That Florida doesn’t lose to their former starting QB tonight.
Just had a conversation with a Miami fan who told me that UCF has a better football program than Florida. And that was the end of that conversation.
Bubba Watson is wearing Cool Grey Jordan 11s today. Swagger.
On the flip side, Tiger has continued an awful fashion week. His Thursday shirt was especially awful.
And DJ is ridiculous. -4 after 6 is gonna make the rest of the leaderboard shit in their Footjoys.
All of the Nike garb is trash. The colors...Rory, Tiger, Reed don the solids. The patterns...Finau and Casey...it's embarrassing. Who says, "yeah, let's go with the 1985 fuscia and the minecraft patterns". Grinds my gears.
Happy Gheorghwali!
Correction...Fleetwood's Nike threads are fine.
Btw...CT Pan with a local looper
Caring about the important stuff over here guys.
On that note, I feel confident that BC covers, -11.5, against ND today.
+11.5. You know what I meant.
Conserve all tits, not just the great ones—tufted, crested, coal, you name it.
In other news, I swapped in my new snow tires from Tire Rack. This means we will get zero snow this year.
I was with you on BC, Dan. I’d also take a look at Arkansas +17.5 if you’re so inclined.
Anybody else get a Masters nap in today?
My lowball offer for the ram truck was accepted. It has 4wd and a nice set of tires. Not sure how long it will take me to get plates with limited dmv services, but today is an important first step on my way to being a real man.
Didn’t realize this was also the Red Bandana game for BC. Notre Dame is fucked.
Congratulations, roots. Proud of you.
Thanks. Just gotta get the right set of truck nuts and it's official!
Masters stat of the week, decade, history...Bernhard Langer at 63 is the oldest player to ever make the cut. Over his Masters career has played with someone born in 1902 and 2002.
I love DJ (and his wife), but Masters Sundays are more fun when the competition is wide open. I don’t need him up 5/6 after today.
how are we celebrating ghwali, marls?
My Dad has been to the Masters three times. Langer was the winner for his first trip.
Weird game in Gainesville tonight. Feliepe Franks coming back as the starter for a different team. Who’s coach is out with COVID. And Florida is missing possibly the most dynamic offensive player in CFB.
just found a random founders' kentucky breakfast stout hangin' out in my fridge. so i poured it and i'm gonna sit down to read 'pappyland'.
Sounds like you have already found a good way to celebrate, Rob.
I think I celebrate by joining Rootsy in the car buying mood. I’m going to put in on the WWAGD car that Zman recommended. Doubt I’m as successful as Rootsy but we shall try.
Listened to Wright Thompson on the Ryen Russillo podcast talk about Pappyland. I’ll be purchasing that book.
Marls, for real? That’s a watershed GTB moment if you do.
My wife has a set of allegedly true “silver” silverware that belonged to her grandparents. She has been told “it’s worth something.” Knowing her dad, who did all his clothes shopping at Costco, that could mean $80.
We pulled it out of the attic a couple weeks ago, under the premise that she would figure out what to do with it. It is a heavy wood box the size of a suitcase. What she actually did was leave it in the hallway, right outside our bedroom door, for a long period of time.
Fast forward to tonight. After cooking a nice meal for the fam (I have mastered the art of grilling chicken thighs w/ the skin on), I went upstairs and saw a light on in our master bath. I walked towards the bedroom to turn it off and - BAM - a lightning bolt of pain from hitting my right foot on the corner of said silverware box. A little toe on my right foot now faces 45 degrees to the right. I think I also broke the one next to it. So I’m in an ER, prepping my argument for opioids. #notwinning
Not a bad half for Kyle Trask.
That’s a shitty night, TR. I slipped in the shower and broke a toe during quarantine. Still hurts. Godspeed.
Twister playing here in the ER. Crazy cast. Paxton (RIP), PS Hoffman (RIP), Sheedy and a very attractive Helen Hunt.
TR, I hope you don’t end up with a crazy cast of your own. Maybe it was a ploy to keep you out of the gym?
Good luck on your offer Marls. In my case it was buying a truck I don’t really need, from a guy I know who doesn’t really need the money. I’ve sold like that to a friend before- a low enough price that if it dies tomorrow you can’t really complain.
Florida Football is a lot of fun these days. God Bless you, Dan Mullen.
I went to gym y/day. Maybe it’s payback b/c doc says I have 2 broken toes.
Just as my broken elbow heals TR breaks two toes. Before careful, Gheorghies.
pretty sure i have an acl tear, but i'm too old to get surgery and too stubborn to stop playing soccer on it. got a tight compression sleeve and bourbon.
God damn. We’re all old and broken.
I salute your decisions, Rob. Chase that ball as long as you can.
What I can’t salute is Terrence Crawford coming to the ring to Chaka Khan. The “best pound-for-pound fighter in the world” should do better.
I was popping popcorn and jamming to Chaka. That said, not sure TR is wrong on the ring entrance choice.
I Feel for You, Tell Me Something Good, or my fave, Ain’t Nobody?
It goes without saying that the first of those was written by Prince and the latter two are actually Rufus featuring Chaka Khan.
Was Ain’t Nobody. He pummeled his foe, knocking him out in the 4th, so we’ll let him keep playing what he wants.
thompson namechecks patterson hood and references 'duality of the southern thing' on the first page of 'pappyland'. ticking some gheorghie boxes early.
Final point on the boxing match: Joe Tessitore is not good on boxing either. Not sure where he came from or why ESPN thinks/thought he should be on the air. #lampley
First the broken toe then the snoozefest at Augusta. Sorry TR.
Seeing DJ’s brother/caddy break down as his brother sinks his putt on 18 was a touching moment.
And Paulina is bringing it, as always.
I took Giants money line again today, given it was +180. They did not make it look easy, but are about to beat a very shaky Eagles team. Giants are playing hard, running it well and buying in on Judge.
the catch deandre hopkins just made...
Give me some time before we discuss that catch. Up 6 with 0:34 left.
Picked up the wife from the airport today after leaving the oldest in NJ. Predictably, she’d been a mess since parting ways. Decided we’d go to one of our favorite restaurants to distract a bit. It’s a ramen/Asian spot in Winter Park. They loudly play great 90s hip hop and have a fantastic bar.
Was a great decision. I’m full on kimchi butter wings, pork belly and chicken thigh ramen and Japanese whiskey. The wife is a better place now too.
