MBSS
i could maybe root for distillers
soonergrunt
Go Broncos!
robertdsc
What jersey does Tunch wear? How is the big guy?
MBSS
tunch is always the road team cos he wears so much white
ruemara
I’m all for Ben Stiller. Zoolander sequel, YEAH!
General Winfield Stuck
Cleveland did not lose this week. Yay Browns!
The Dangerman
Sorry, have to root for the Broncos (does this send me into moderation?) tonight.
Bubblegum Tate
@The Dangerman:
Not moderation so much as purgatory.
gnomedad
Can I be OT on an Open Thread? NPR had a piece this afternoon revealing via some just-released documents that conservative goddess Margaret Thatcher thought things were getting out of hand just before the Berlin Wall fell and asked Gorby if he couldn’t keep the lid on things. Searched for it at the NPR site but no luck so far.
blackfrancis789
Go not Jay Cutler!

Thank FSM for the Stillers! I’ve been stewing over the slimy bishops, the congressional woman haters, and my John’s daughter (who needs punched in the neck…again). Two weekends with no Stillers was just too much! The NFL should not allow a bye week followed by a Monday night game. It sucks.
Laura W
@robertdsc: I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Tunch probably does have some snappy game day attire in his armoire.
I suspect that every week when he proudly puts it on and rouses his mighty mass from his futon and asks John: “Does this make my ass look fat?”, John snorts root beer onto his keyboard, and Tunch rips it off and runs sobbing to his food dish.
Or Lily’s. Whichever has food left.
Annie
@Laura W:
Thank you! I really needed a good laugh…And, Lily waits until Tunch overstuffs himself, lets loose a little treat on the futon, and she gets a “Tunch treat.”
Go Stillers. “Yins” are the best…
Ash Can
Strikes me as more likely.

And we are less than 5 hours away from the Epic Xbox Live Crash of 2009.
Soylent Green
My Broncos are feeling the sting of getting thumped by Baltimore last week, and they’re tough at home. This would be a good time for the Stillers to go Galt.
danimal
As a Charger fan, painful as it is to write it….GO STEELERS
MBSS
cole, are you pumped up for the game?
how is dragon age? looks fun.
Bad Horse's Filly
@The Dangerman: This.
Also, I seem to be in the middle of a cat war. This never ends well – usually with me cleaning up cat urine in inappropriate places and large clumps of fur spread over my house. We’re in about day 4. Maybe I can get one of the Clintons to come in and negotiate a truce.
soonergrunt
YAY, Broncos!
3-0 over the Steelers in the first quarter
Corner Stone
DougJ – your site is porpoising. Are you sure it’s hosted on an actual server, and not a Pentium II you have stashed somewhere?
arguingwithsignposts
I’m watching The Trailer Park Boys movie on NetFlix streaming. I need some laughs. pulled the back out over the weekend. Only problem is it hurts when I laugh.
Corner Stone
@geg6:
Listen people – I was roughhousing with my 5 yr old boy and he conveniently kneed me in the neck. Right where the neck meets the shoulder area.
Hurt like absolute hell and disoriented me for a few seconds.
That getting punched in the neck…that ain’t no damn joke yo.
arguingwithsignposts
@Corner Stone:
What does that mean “porpoising”?
MBSS
it’s doing bad things on porpoise
Spork
Bwahahaha!! Ben is awesome for holding on to the ball for that long. I admire him for making his O-Line look horrible, and then admitting it in interviews, saying “Don’t blame them, it’s me”. It works for him, but damn, it’s ugly football.
arguingwithsignposts
Ricky is begging to get back into jail to play in the ball hockey tournament. LOL. Where have the trailer park boys been all my life?
Corner Stone
@arguingwithsignposts: Flipping between connectivity and non-connectivity.
Oscillating up and down in an erratic pattern.
Flipping, bouncing, gapping, like a porpoise or dolphin breaking above water and then diving again.
Studly Pantload
Rootin for my soshulist Broncos! Also playin househusband, as the Mrs. is bringing a friend to stay over, tonight. Bless her, though, for offering to take said friend to dinner first, so I don’t have to hole-up in the bedroom to watch the game.
Spork
Well, so far in the beginning of this game, Steelers are much more physical, but Broncos are picking them apart strategically. Players are playing well, but the Steelers def coordinator is not looking so hot. Broncos looking good in the short game, not much gain after the catch, no open field moves, but still moving the chains.
Spork
Oh, Spork +4 and a bowl. Yay wife working and MNF.
Studly Pantload
I must say, Spork, I don’t believe I’ve ever watched a game while smoking; sounds intriguing. Sipping on some 101 bourbon, right now, but just one snort to offset the 5-hour-energy drink jitters before I vacuum. Chemicals can be a delicate balancing act.
Corner Stone
@Studly Pantload:
I am totally F’ng lost here. You crazy kids and your wacky newspeak.
Spork
I have done all that needs to be done in the house for the night. WOOT! Steelers INT
!
Corner Stone
That was the stupidest fucking decision I’ve seen in quite a while.
Studly Pantload
Looked massively underthrown, to me. I’m blamin’ execution.
Spork
@ Corner Stone:
One “snort” is a common term for a shot of whisk(e)y. Studly Pantload is indicating he is an urban dilettante with a taste for carefully curbed vices, and a sense of household responsibility.
Studly Pantload
OK, on replay, I rescind my earlier statement on the int. Ne’ertheless, typical of the Bronx, this year, to spot their opponent some points in the first half.
MBSS
snorts and snifters. damn elite liberals. cole is probably eating arugala.
Studly Pantload
@Spork:
Ha!
Whoa, that throw was 10/10.
soonergrunt
I turn my head for a second, and the Steelers intercept and return for a TD? WTF?
Studly Pantload
I call that possession.
Studly Pantload
I’d cop to the dilettante label, exceptin’ a) I can scarcely spell that word, and b) I’m just sippin’ some Old Ezra, not some fancy single-barrel brand.
MBSS
glenfiddich for everyone, on me.
Studly Pantload
Thanks, MBSS! I’ll mention yer name at the liquor store.
asiangrrlMN
Go Stillers! I gotta say, I don’t watch MNF on a regular basis. I fucking hate Jon Gruden. I actually hate all announcers, but he just really grates on my nerves.
Cole, what do I have to do for a Tunch picture?
Spork
Ah, no offense intended. But I think I have identified your issue. It’s the sippin’.
And I have some technical questions. Should the +x be a measure of: A, # of drinks, B, # of shots in drinks, or C, # of measures of liquor by alcohol % ?
Spork
@asiangrrlMN
I love Jon Gruden for the same reason I love Bill Cowher. They were the most entertaining coaches ever to watch lose.
Corner Stone
@Spork: So the “before I vacuum” was actually about household chores? And not some code for dirty depravity at it’s most depraved?
MBSS
@asiangrrlMN:
good lord, gruden drives me nuts. i think it’s because i feel that if he tried he could communicate better, but a lifetime in the league has turned him into a caricatured cliche of a platitude spouting tough guy.
Corner Stone
@asiangrrlMN:
I never would’ve guessed he was such a simple idiot.
General Winfield Stuck
BJ has gone deep today. Think I’ll have some tea and watch Bullwinkle you tubes.
Studly Pantload
Eek, I’m too old for shots. Last time I tried that, I almost shot it back up.
MBSS
@General Winfield Stuck:
watch out for natasha. i’m suspect of her.
Corner Stone
@Spork:
Ummm, actually, if you can still type this question then you have no business using the + appellido.
But roughly, it’s number of total drinks containing alcohol. Not a measure of alcohol consumed.
One stiff rum and coke is still +1, but a rum and coke with a shot back is +2.
Spork
@Corner Stone
If we’re gonna converse, you need to take 2-3 more shots quickly, then do 20 jumping jacks to get your blood flowing. Otherwise, I’m at a serious disadvantage.
Studly Pantload
“So the “before I vacuum” was actually about household chores? And not some code for dirty depravity at it’s most depraved?”
I’ve read stories. Vacuums + depravity = embarrassing ER visits. I’m just sweepin’ the floor.
MBSS
@Corner Stone:
i thought you guys were giving yourselves points for clever arguments. i didn’t realize you are all actually a bunch of lushes.
Spork
OK, only +3 then. 24 oz. cans of strong malt liquor.
Spork
Clever argumentative lushes?
Studly Pantload
Looks like McDaniels just wants to get in the locker room and start talking adjustments.
MBSS
@Spork:
BJ’s new catchphrase
Corner Stone
@MBSS: Who the hell ever claimed clever?
And I prefer “bountiful” over “lush”.
MBSS
motto would be more apropos, actually.
MBSS
what’s the count for the game?
Corner Stone
@Spork: It doesn’t matter if it’s Maredsous #8 (a wickedly good fucking beer), if you finish one of them then you are +1.
But this isn’t like the other thread where they are re-litigating when life begins or anything – I’m open to arguments of total alcohol consumption counting.
I’m easy. Or at least I’d like to be. Anyone want to be easy with me?
Corner Stone
@Spork: 2 – 3 more shots than what?
And jumping jacks are out. Momentum is not my friend.
Corner Stone
@Studly Pantload: Million to one shot doc! Million to one!
Spork
Well, I gotta head to the store before halftime is over. Sticking w/ the malt liquor. Quality is cool, but my budget accommodates my buzz, not my tastes.
asiangrrlMN
I fucking hate most announcers. I wanna be one. Then, I can say, “Did you see that fine-ass play Polamalu made? And, by the way, did you see his fine ass?”
ricky
The Steelers used to be a gutty, gritty team until they chickened out and quit playing the Oilers. Guess they knew they would eventually lose.
MBSS
@asiangrrlMN:
bob costas said that exact same thing about polamalu last week.
Morbo
Well, well, 10-7 and still no offensive touchdown.
Spork
nice.
Corner Stone
Offense?...Offense?
OFFENSE!
It exists!!
Studly Pantload
House is cleaned! (Fairly; the lights are down to disguised any missed spots.) Did I miss any flame wars?
Studly Pantload
THAT was purdy!
Corner Stone
@Studly Pantload:
Umm, well…you’re a fucking chump that not even a mother could love. And speaking of your mother, tell her next time I expect a little butter with my pancakes for breakfast.
Spork
@ Corner Stone
You took my advice and drank more whisk(e)y, didn’t you?
Corner Stone
@Spork: You don’t tellsh me whaf to do!
I own me! Me! Not you! I deshide what happens here you fucking pun k !
