Hookers and Cocaine
FIRST
(down Cowboys)
The Grand Panjandrum
The Giants are playing likes its a bye week for them. Sheesh.
Hookers and Cocaine
Wow. My first FIRST comment. Somehow it isn’t quite as satifying as I hoped.
Anyway… thanks for the thread John. Nice of you to recognize that it isn’t all about you.
Announcers just said that Seahawks are a proud franchise. Without any sense of irony. Priceless.
Corner Stone
CUSHING!
GeoX
Eagles!
Corner Stone
I have been unable to find the comment here from someone who said the Redskins were a “much better team” than the Texans but…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just Some Fuckhead
Broncos at Ravens on my teevee today AND it looks like the Ravens will win despite the refs’ best efforts. Someone pinch me- could this really be happening?
Hookers and Cocaine
@The Grand Panjandrum: I called the Giants flameout right after they got to 5-0. Wasn’t expecting them to drop 3 straight but I’ll take it. I despise all NY teams, but honestly the Jets top my hate list. It’s their fans I can’t abide. Punk ass bitches, each and every one (at least the ones I’ve met personally).
I want the Jets to lose every game, go bankrupt, and be moved to LA.
Billy K
Go Cowboys!
Corner Stone
God in Heaven but Ted Ginn is freakin fast.
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Damn…you really do hate the Jets doncha?
Just Some Fuckhead
Congratulations to the Ravens. I don’t know which team is going to face these refs next week but I assure you they are going to be looking for some retribution.
Max
I am not quite sure what happened to my Bills today. Sad.
Very sad.
Unbearably sad.
Max about to be +1.
demkat620
If this were true, they wouldn’t have agreed to those lime green jerseys.
Hookers and Cocaine
@Corner Stone: With all my black little heart.
Hookers and Cocaine
@demkat620: If it were true they would have all retired after losing the Super Bowl to Big (QB rating 26) Ben.
freelancer
@Max:
How did you get through the 90s with your liver intact?
demkat620
@Hookers and Cocaine: Shhhhhhh! John is listening!
Corner Stone
@Max: They ran into a superior team, obviously.
AhabTRuler
Not true. Football doesn’t exist for John if the Steelers 1) aren’t playing, or 2) lose.
Max
@freelancer: It was young then (born 1971).
My fangirl status for the Bills has taken its toll not only on my liver, but my self-esteem.
Hookers and Cocaine
@freelancer: Hey I’ve been trying to get into Mexican beer. Does anyone have suggestions. I kinda like Pacifico. Modelo is OK I guess. Dos Equis has great commercials but I don’t like the actual beer too much. Any ideas.
@demkat620: I keep it real. John appreciates that.
Hookers and Cocaine
There is a game in Green Bay today. A game of some significance, apparently.
licensed to kill time
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Negro Modelo FTW! Bohemia is right there, too, plus they are both higher in alcohol content. Corona is sucky green beer only drinkable with lime and salt. Pacifico, weak sauce.
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine: Negro Modelo is pretty damned good.
The rest can be summarize thusly: sucks balls.
Anyone that tells you otherwise is not to be trusted. Unless…you like Tecate or Corona? Cuz if that’s the case you are beyond salvation.
robertdsc
Can we haz new Tunch pix?
Corner Stone
@licensed to kill time: Ahhh, I’ve spent many a night by a campfire enjoying Negro Modelo. It’s the perfect beer with any open fire grilled food. Just can’t be beat.
Even goes well with a nice Monte Cristo cigar after.
licensed to kill time
@Corner Stone:
Tecate is primarily useful if you break down by the side of the road in Mexico. You can fashion a pretty good reflector out of the red cans.
asiangrrlMN
Go Vikes! Down with Favre! And, yes, I can hold these two contradictory thoughts in my mind simultaneously.
asiangrrlMN
@robertdsc: YES! I haz Tunchie withdrawal!
Corner Stone
@licensed to kill time: I was thinking it would also be useful in the event you were stung by jellyfish.
For those that don’t know, urine can be a neutralizer for the stinging effect. (as famousized by Friends in that one episode where Joey stepped up and did the deed).
AhabTRuler
@licensed to kill time: To be fair, you can also use Tecate to brush your teeth if you don’t trust the local water.
AhabTRuler
While even water thinks that Corona is weak.
Mark S.
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Wow, Michael Irvin’s commenting here now? BJ’s hitting the big time!
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: I’m totally with you there. Vikes win; Favre broken into a million pieces.
Hookers and Cocaine
@Corner Stone: Corona is the nectar of the gods.
H&C +19
Lyle4
You all need to check this out. It’s the greatest website ever made for a political candidate in the history of the world. EVER.
http://www.georgehutchins.com/
Much better way to spend your time than gagging over all the Packers/Vikings garbage.
licensed to kill time
@AhabTRuler: I brush my teeth with beer every day. It foams up real nice.
Corona is the nectar of the gods.
I think you mean the Piss of the Gods, sorry. Of course, at +19 any ole swill tastes like nectar.
licensed to kill time
shit. BQF, FTW!
handy
F—the Chargers!
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine: 19 lines, or 19 hooks?
handy
@handy:
And no, not a Raider fan. It just needs to be said.
KG
@Hookers and Cocaine: hey, what’d we here in the greater LA area ever do to you? The Jets? Fuck that.
Corner Stone
@handy: They’re playing the absolutely abominable JaMarcus Russell and OAK.
He’s 2 for 4 with an INT. How can you be damning the Chargers for that?
JaMarcus sucks the bottomless pit of balls.
Corner Stone
@handy: Oh…well, in that case. Sorry for my post.
I’d edit it IF I HAD THE FUCKING EDIT OPTION.
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: Yay! Someone understands me. And, Percy Harvin is a BEAST!
Svensker
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Welcome, to Balloon Juice H&C. And fuck you. No offense.
burnspbesq
@Hookers and Cocaine:
What makes you think we want them?
asiangrrlMN
TD, AP! Woot-woot!
Hookers and Cocaine
@Svensker: None taken. And thanks.
Eat a dick.
burnspbesq
We already have a quality football team in SoCal that wears green unis.
It’s called Long Beach Poly.
Why on earth would we want the Jets?
freelancer
@Hookers and Cocaine:
1) Dos Equis does not have a good ad campaign.
2) I stick with regional IPA’s and PA’s, I’m currently smitten with Boulevard Single Wide IPA. But their Bully Porter is just nauseating.
burnspbesq
If you want to send us a football team from Jersey, all other things being equal we’d rather have Bergen Catholic.

@Svensker:
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Ahhh, there’s the warmth I’ve come to know on the island.
Hookers and Cocaine
When do the new BSC rankings come out?
@Lyle4: This guy will be unstoppable in 2012. Just what the GOP needs to take back Ohio and Indiana.
Svensker
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Why thank you. My pleasure.
wobblybits
@Lyle4: Holy Crap, is that for real? It has got to be a joke? My eyes may need a week to recover.
Svensker
@freelancer:
Ha ha ha. But the Jets are really a Jersey team. Nothing to do with NY. Srsly.
Hookers and Cocaine
@freelancer: Bill Hicks… it’s been a while. I used to wear out my Bill Hicks tapes back in high school. Haven’t listened to him in a while. I need to head over to Amazon and order his stuff on cd/dvd.
R.I.P.
freelancer
@Svensker:
not a dig against you. Hicks reference, with “the island” as a metaphor for the BJ Commentariat.
Feel the love.
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine:
I’ve thought about this and identified a few scenarios where this could be plausible.
1. You drank the 12 you brought with you and are now sustaining on the mercy of the dole.
2. You’re really broke and are at the mercy of the community cooler.
3. You had your taste buds extracted for some military experiment.
4. You are underage and your parents are gone for the weekend and left a case of Corona under the dusty tarp in the garage.
Hookers and Cocaine
@freelancer: Oh come on. The most interesting man in the world ads are the best since real men of genius.
You prefer the Coors Light “Ditka” commercials?
asiangrrlMN
Visanthe Shiancoe, bitchez!
Hookers and Cocaine
@Corner Stone: Dude, don’t tell my parents. They will be totally pissed.
asiangrrlMN
@Hookers and Cocaine: I prefer muting all the damn commercials.
freelancer
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Oh, you like that campaign too? *sigh.
@Corner Stone:
This.
It’s a not-so-subtle hint that Corona is evil when you need two things non beer related to drink it as recommended:
1) A fucking crowbar to get the bottlecap off. Gluing it on isn’t a huge red flag?!
2) Half of a stale bar lime.
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine: I only suggest that because I did the same with a case of Heineken in the days before History began…
Prior to marriage, one of the worst decisions I ever made. Then there was that whole “Bud Ice” fiasco. But the less said about that, the better.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Born and raised in Minnesota. I just think any true Viking fan would realize rooting for Favre is just wrong, wrong, wrong—even if Favre is now wearing a Viking uniform. Otherwise you have to believe that a team is just a uniform, and where’s the fun in cheering for a brand? (Yeah, of course, I know that’s what we do, but, since in this case I can choose the illusion with little harm, I do.)
Corner Stone
God I love watching All Day play the foosball.
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: You got it in one.
licensed to kill time
You know what else I always wondered about Corona? How the heck do they get all the rancid lime wedges and salt and cigarette butts out of the empty bottles? In Mexico all the bottles are “retornable” and thus re-used. So how do they get all the crud out? Something to ponder when you’re enjoying your Corona and lime.
jwb
@Lyle4: Totally awesome!
Hookers and Cocaine
@Corner Stone: Heineken is the most overrated beer ever. If I want a cheap imported beer I’ll go for Lowenbrau any day.
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: Plus, he’s such a drama queen.
demkat620
Okay so, I’m watching the Iggles post game show. (I know but I like Ray Didinger)
DeSean Jackson has 6 td’s of over 50 yards already this season. That is just sick.
I think the kid can play a little.
Hookers and Cocaine
@demkat620: Next week should be fun.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Of course, he’s a drama queen—and, truth be told, that’s what made him so much fun to cheer against when he was top cheesehead.
Wayne
I thought the Dolphins were playing the Steelers when I first tuned in. Why are the Jets wearing Steeler uniforms?
Brachiator
I thought Philadelphia over the Giants would be the most lopsided TV game this Sunday.
But Chargers v Raiders just might blow this wide open.
dfd
As a Bears fan, I find myself ambivalent when it comes to these Vikings vs. Packers games.
P.S.
Miller High Life FTW
ihop
@asiangrrlMN:
visanthe shiancoe and HIS NINE INCHES, bitches
eh, i’m pale and celtic.
Svensker
@Brachiator:
Too bad that McNabb is so overrated. He wouldn’t even be playing if he weren’t black, know what I’m sayin?
Ash
@dfd: You actually drink Miller High life by choice? The only time I ever drank that stuff is when they had $1 drafts of it at the bar across from my apartment during college. It was good for getting drunk with the least amount of money possible, but not for much else.
asiangrrlMN
Sandra Bullock. Football movie. Protecting the Blindside. I am very afraid.
Kiril
@Hookers and Cocaine:
I despise all NY teams
Then you should love the Saints. We’ve beaten every NY team, and the Jets and the Giants were undefeated until we ruined them.
Ash
@asiangrrlMN: That movie is a true story, based off a book. Totally cried like a little bitch while reading it.
Hookers and Cocaine
@Kiril: Love the Saints. Cool unis… slutty cheerleaders… what’s not to like?
I look forward to watching Dallas beat them (again) later in the year. It should lots of fun.
asiangrrlMN
@Ash: Ok, now the book seems cool, but I can’t stand Sandra Bullock, and I hate to think what they’ll do to the movie.
dfd
@Ash: I’m not saying it’s the best beer evah!, but it beats the pants off of any other macro brew and the price helps.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Oh, she’s mostly harmless and almost guarantees the film will have a disappointing box office.
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: That’s my whole point. She is so bland and boring, she’s bound to make any interesting movie dull. Feh.
Hookers and Cocaine
Someone needs to tell the Charger Girls that Halloween is over.
asiangrrlMN
Percy Harvin, I will have your bebes, even though you are a bebe yourself.

should i be scared that it is almost total darkness well before dinner time?
does god hate the brettfavre?
Corner Stone
That was nasty.
Thadeus Horne
@Hookers and Cocaine: Try some New Belgian. Don’t drink bad beer. No reason for that.
Morbo
Welcome to the Detroit Lions, new boss same as the old boss. Good heavens, Aaron Rodgers just can’t catch a break.
asiangrrlMN
@Thadeus Horne: Fixed it for ya.
Much better.
Ducks and flees the room.
asiangrrlMN
Shit. Turn over. Crap.
AhabTRuler
@asiangrrlMN: Yeah, nothing but good, old-fashioned American PCP for me!
Thadeus Horne
@Lyle4: I’m so so sorry I ever saw that. I’m washing my eyes out with Hydrogen peroxide.
smiley
@asiangrrlMN: Now you know why the Gators fans miss him so much. He would have been a college senior.
asiangrrlMN
@AhabTRuler: Was there supposed to be a link there?
Damn it! GB got a touchdown.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: And now a TD for the bad guys.
smiley
@smiley: I should add that another Gators great, Emmitt Smith, also left early. He came back to finish his degree. I sorta doubt Harvin will.
AhabTRuler
@asiangrrlMN: No, I don’t think there is a link for PCP. You kids can work it out for yourselves.
Demo Woman
@asiangrrlMN: The NYTimes Sunday Magazine ran a story about Michael Oher about 3 years ago. You can probably still find it online. Although I’m not a Sandra Bullock fan and I’m amazed that Tim McGraw is in it, I’m going to see it.
Brachiator
@Hookers and Cocaine:
Nov 1 is El Día de los Muertos. The Charger Girls have the spirit of things.
Heck, they may even suit up and deliver a few licks on the hapless Raiders.
asiangrrlMN
@smiley: Can’t have him back! Sheesh, he’s young.
@jwb: Yeah, and almost had another interception.
asiangrrlMN
@AhabTRuler: Well, yes, but there is a question mark when I hover over PCP.
@Demo Woman: I’ll see if I can do it. Tim McGraw is in it? Definitely will not see.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: And now the defense has decided to do an imitation of a sieve.
Thadeus Horne
@Lyle4: I’m so so sorry I ever saw that. I’m washing my eyes out with Hydrogen peroxide.
@dfd: All your taste is in your mouth. bad beer..really bad beer. That is all.
asiangrrlMN
Crap crap crap crap crap.
24-20, MN.
Demo Woman
@asiangrrlMN: They were filming the movie in Atlanta this summer. It’s unfortunate because it’s a sweet story and the movie sounds like it is made for the Life Time channel.
AhabTRuler
So should there be for us all.
However, in the main, there is a question mark that hovers over any word written in ALL CAPS. I think there is some alt text script that you can use to define acronyms, but I’ll be buggered if I know how it works.
asiangrrlMN
Can we just have Percy Harvin cloned? kthxbai.
disappointedGOPer
Aaron Rodgers is playing like a kid out there.
Thadeus Horne
@asiangrrlMN: Oh, I don’t drink it either. Makers Mark is my choice.
asiangrrlMN
@Demo Woman: I will read the book. I think i will enjoy that better.
smiley
@asiangrrlMN: At this rate he’s going to make All Pro as a rookie kickoff returner.
asiangrrlMN
@Thadeus Horne: Me, too! Woot!
@disappointedGOPer: Heh. You crack me up.
asiangrrlMN
@smiley: Su-weeeeet! We just need three of him and three of AP.

My younger sister & hubby who live near Green Bay, WI were in St. Paul this weekend. We were going to get together at my older sister’s house to watch the Packers/Vikes game, but younger sister came down with the flu so they had to get back home. Turns out my older sister, her husband and all of her kids are just getting over varying states of flu (the flu has been just brutal in the Twin Cities this week), but older sister told me I could still come over to watch the game anyway. I told her thanks but no thanks and took my new car out for a spin on this gorgeous fall day. Pitch black outside now at 5:30 but there’s a beautiful almost-full moon on the rise. Who won the game?
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: TD!
asiangrrlMN
Woot! A TD to some guy not named Harvin, Shiancoe, or Peterson!
31- 20, Vikes.
asiangrrlMN
@gbear: Still going. Fourth quarter. Watch!
@jwb: High five!
jwb
@gbear: Still in progress, 31-20 Vikes.
gbear
Ooops. Who’s winning the game now? It feels like 9:00.
gbear
I obviously need to refresh more often…
gbear
@asiangrrlMN:
Can’t. I never bothered to update my TV. I never watched it anyway.
asiangrrlMN
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap! I didn’t know Aaron Rodgers could run like that!
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: What’s the deal with the Vikes’ defense?
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: They forgot there were four quarters.
31-26 MN. 10:30 to go.
Mark S.
Geez, I thought the game was over.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Go AP!
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: Damn right. AP AP AP!
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Looks like the Vikes are just going to run time and take the field goal.
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: High fives, baby!
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Crossed me up. TD!
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: Indeed!
asiangrrlMN
@jwb: You spoke too soon. Bernard Barrion, baby!
Joel
Too bad the Niners couldn’t beat the Colts. My FF team won, putting me at 2-6 for the year.
asiangrrlMN
Whew! It’s over, bitchez. Vikes win! 38 – 26.
Corner Stone
@Joel: Well, that’s great!.. That’s..uh..nice! Nice going Joel! Nicely done.
Hookers and Cocaine
Off to Hooters to see the night game.
jwb
@asiangrrlMN: yay!
Corner Stone
@Hookers and Cocaine: Can I come with? No idea what football game you’re going to watch but I want to see it too.
Unless it’s the baseball game. Then no thanks.
Hookers and Cocaine
@Corner Stone: Marshall@UCF, dude. Yeah, just noticed the lack of NFLness on the slate tonight. And FTFY.
But my friend works there and she just texted me to come see her, so I need to make an appearance.
I don’t really need too much prodding to go and hang out with hot girls.
Kathy
Away all afternoon for my little guy’s B’day (the go cart place was empty, imagine that, I can’t believe people in Philly have better things to do today:) Anyway, Mom time is over in Philly, my Iggles pwned the Giants, time to FTFY and open up a can of whoop ass!
Kathy +2 (low count after spending the afternoon go carting with a bunch of 9 year olds)
Kathy
All right, this totally sucks! Kathy + not nearly enough
jwb
@Kathy: Go Kathy. Add to your + total.
2liberal
that’s OK. it’s a bye week for the Patriots also.
Ranger 3
UCF with the exciting win over Marshall. Now what can they do against Texas next week. I bet on Boise State to win the BCS last time I was in Vegas (no, really, I did) and I could use some help with that.
Go Knights!
Common Sense
Texas wins by 30. Sorry Ranger. You should pull for LSU to pull the upset vs Bama and then knock off the Gators in the SEC Championship. Texas won’t lose in the regular season.
