Dopplegang Gang

When last we checked in on the Teej's manifold personalities, he'd just released a new album. Talented, that dude. (I'd link to that post, but I can't find it. Bygones.)

This week brings news of another noteworthy achievement by our Doofus Overlord, in which he's become an overlord of a different sort. From Carlow Live near Dublin:

"Farmhand has appointed Carlow man TJ Doyle to its board of directors.

TJ has been appointed as technical director of Farmhand, the family-owned importer of Krone, Amazone, Quicke, Zuidberg and APV.

The Carlow native joined the company in 2008 as an area service manager and later became overall service manager where he has been instrumental in Farmhand's after sales professionalism."

Farmhand, for those not in the know, is a leading Irish distributor of heavy equipment used in, well, farming.

The news itself is worth celebrating. More so for our purposes, the glamour shot of our man Doyle:


I mean, this shit writes itself, no? Long lost...self?

Congrats, Teej. We're super proud of you. Hoping for some sweet combine action for my back 40.

your tribe in harrisonburg today to take on james madison at 4:00. w&m favored by 3 at the dukes, who sit in last place in the league with a 2-13 caa record. three seems like a low number, if we're being honest. a win by w&m all but locks up the 2nd seed in the caa tournament.

That guy looks like Teedge and Mark’s long lost lovechild.

From the last post... meant to chime in. I actually don’t love the song “High Plains Drifter” that much. It’s got a way creepy vibe to it. They started with the edgiest Eagles tune (tallest midget) and added some breathy soul sister moaning and some gun-cocking and some shoot ‘em up lyrics. It WAY fits the movie and the ongoing theme. But I prefer the party romps on P’sB like Shake Your Rump and Hey Ladies.

Of course my fave is Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun which wholly goes against everything I just said. Eh.

It’s all goddamn good.

And the Welsh don’t seem to have it today.

grabbing a quick pop at a little brewpub (mr kq and marls know the one) while waiting to pick up my daughter from cheer. cute bartender with a shitload of tattoos working the taps (mr kq and marls know the one). it’s a lovely saturday afternoon out here in the country.

Went to class this AM, now in an Irish pub in downtown Norfolk (none of you know the one) watching Wales vs France in a Six Nations match in Cardiff. 20 years exactly since I watched Wales vs France in Cardiff.

The French have not grown on me.

That dude is getting shit done. Kudos, Mr. Doyle.

Out in the Winc visiting the folks. Learned just an hour ago that one Mr. Buckles is also in town visiting his dad. Update at 11. And it is a beautiful crisp day here in VA.

Whitney said...

Crisp like a Winchester apple?

Whitney said...

Hey to Buck

rob said...

hey to rhodes

Mark said...

I am also watching Wales-France. Watched a little Scotland-Italy at my local brewpub this afternoon.

Listened to a bunch of Beasties at the gym this morning. I love all of Paul’s Boutique but Shadrach remains underrated.

Mark said...

Just went and grabbed a double iced espresso for later so I can stay up for Wilder-Fury.

tribe wins by four. andy van vliet made a free throw with 0.9 seconds that was important, if you're a degenerate.

Parents talking to their kids like absolute shit - a Disney tradition unlike any other

and hello from a Disney property, where five days of work separate me from some good times with Mark and wife, Wheelhouse Jerry and wife, and my lovely bride

Mark said...

Had a dinner-ish party with some friends and our kids tonight. The host Dad drinks good beer: Wicked Weed, Trillium and a couple cans of a Surly Todd the Axe Man once I’d passed his tests and proven myself worthy. Now home and regrouping so I can make the end of this fight. Who’s with me?

Where’s Mayhugh when I need him?

Mark said...

Jesus. Start the fucking fight already.

Mark said...

What’s your walk in song for the biggest fight of your life?

Mark said...

I don’t have a good answer for this. That’s why I’m asking. Pressed for an answer, I think I’d go with Pusha T. When in doubt, go gangsta.

Mark said...

Tyson Fury is dominating this fight in a way that I didn’t think was possible.

Mark said...

I’m ready for the completion of the trilogy.

Mark said...

Our house is a bit of a hang out spot for our oldest and her friends. That’s a good thing. It’s also a bit of a bad thing, for me, as we approach 1 am and I’m very ready for bed.

Danimal said...

Wicked Weed = Wicked Good
3 old fashions followed by half a dozen stouts + early wake up = not good
Flight delays could have allowed coffee with the Marls and/or Roberto...drove through your hood today heading to Dulles.
God speed in the 407 teejus

morning from a Disney property where I’m suited up and trying to eat a normal adult professional breakfast of Mickey ear waffles awash in a sea of overwhelmed parents and over sugarfied kids

Danimal said...

Really good post btw Whit. The writing prowess here never ceases to impress.
Mark...in reaponse to the invite for Sat...I will see what we can do, but a late flag fball playofff game make it difficult.

Danimal said...

That Eagles riff/beat is pretty hot too.

Danimal said...

Yes, reaponse.
