Spaceman Spiff

Yeah, Bluey is pretty great. Have seen a bunch of episodes, it's very well written and fun.

Married With Children has aged so horribly and it's ****ing awesome.

Traded Poole to the Wizards. Isn't he from Lithuania? So...yes?

Bring back NBA coaches having to wear suits on the sidelines. ****in Mike Brown looking like he's out getting Starbucks instead of coaching a goddamn basketball game.

Hopefully tonight is the end of the Warriors.

You're half German? This explains a lot.

Imagine that. @PleaseBlitzcan you get all lawyerin on em or anything?

I wish a hoa would!

The old Chris Rock bit.

You got that propeller going on your beanie pretty good, don’t you?

That's how you know the Wiz will end up with the #1 pick this year, it's supposed to be a bad draft.

I've grown to like Cuban over the years...I didn't like him when he first took over the Mavericks and was, like, the Draymond Green of NBA owners but he's mellowed considerably. That said, I've never understood the chest thumping and nobility one finds in paying their taxes. I'm not saying people shouldn't pay their taxes, but I've always found it weird and odd that it's a flex for some who are proud about doing something that...everyone should do. That said again, if he's using it to point a finger at Cheeto Jesus, well, that's good, too.

Found the wallet. My wife does needlepoint (she has the soul of an 80 year old lady) and where she sits on the couch is adorned with all sorts of needlepoint stuff, canvases, bags of string, etc. I don't go near it. So it was in one of the bags of string. Which she quickly assured me that it wasn't in when she checked the previous day. According to her, Spiff Jr. must have moved it from one location to another. Ordered one right after finding the wallet.

I feel like ix is the Tailgate’s kid and we need to do a better job of parenting him. Also confident he’ll never check this thread and see this post.

Yep, totally sidetracked all of Thursday afternoon. It's amazing how something like that will totally hijack your day and other parts of the week. And he can talk a little but he can't talk that well. So I've asked a few times where he's put it and he points to one of the few areas we've searched up and down. He goes "I packed it!" like he has an idea where it is but really has no idea what he did with it. Anyway, my wife just found hers, turns out she outsmarted herself and hid it somewhere outside of his grasp for that very reason. Mine's still missing.

Wednesday afternoon, I pick Spiff Jr. up from daycare and we stop at the grocery store to get a couple things for dinner. Nothing out of the ordinary. Thursday, I go to run a couple errands in the afternoon and my wallet is gone. Like, missing. It's usually in one of three places...bedside table, my desk or in the truck. It's in none of those places. It's not in the shorts I wore the day before. It's gone. Turned the house inside out looking for it. Small chance that I dropped it in the parking lot at the grocery store. Called the grocery store, no one had turned it in. But there's a bigger chance that Spiff Jr, now a little over two years old, is the culprit. He's been known to grab stuff off my bedside table and march around the house with it as if it were his, like my watch and my wallet and sunglasses and cellphone. And two weeks ago I caught him dropping my wallet into a tote bag that was hanging on the back of a door in the laundry room. Had I not seen him doing that, I'd have probably lost it two weeks ago. So my wife, who I love to death but also sometimes nags because she's a woman and can't help herself couldn't help herself when she said "WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?!" as I was taking our couch apart. To which I replied that I didn't need a ****ing lesson at the moment. Yesterday, it still wasn't found. Went to the DMV, got a replacement license and new credit cards have been ordered. This morning, it's a relatively lazy morning, we got up and did some chores around the house. We've got a friend coming over for lunch and she wanted to go to the grocery store to get a few things and I said I'd go with her. And she can't find her wallet. Her wallet is gone. Not in one of her bags, nowhere in any usual spot she keeps it. I couldn't help myself. "WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?"

You guys are boneheads

Probably. But I'm gonna believe it because I wanna **** OJ.

Probably. But ultimately I do believe this will turn out to be a nothingburger.

The alternative here is that she's a good fiction writer with a good imagination and wanted to make something up to tapdance on OJ's grave and get clicks. That's possible. I knew who Shapiro and Kardashian were because I followed the case, but just because there's no report of a major uproar doesn't mean that they didn't visit the campus that day. She signed an NDA due to Shapiro and Kardashian being there, I don't see why that's out of line and they don't need to pay her to do that. The university didn't bring her into a room to intimidate her, get her to sign that NDA...she went outside with her boss who smoked a cigarette and told her what happened. Her boss blabbed, but I don't think it's out of line that he was in a moment of weakness after learning some unpleasant stuff and chose to blab to a college junior. I mean, if it ever got out, who's to be believed, a college junior? OJ's history of domestic violence against Nicole is well documented and I don't believe for a second that he just started battering women at that point in his life. I think her story about what was covered up is certainly possible.

There's a conspiracy theory floating around that his son did it. That the son had some violent episodes when he was younger, that he was also into knives and stuff, I think there was something about threatening a boss with a knife. But I doubt it. Anyway, I remember my family took a vacation to SC. One night on the way back from dinner out in Charleston, I fell asleep in the back of the car we'd rented, but woke up to hear on the radio that OJ Simpson's wife was found murdered. Later that week, watching the Knicks/Rockets play in the finals, they interrupted the game for the Bronco chase. That whole week was so wild.

I was in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher was in her late 20s, she was super cool. Head of the school is storming around the school telling teachers not to turn it on, etc. She stuck her head in the door, told her not to turn the tv on, then went storming down the hall to tell others not to turn it on. Spanish teacher rolled her eyes, turned on the tv. Couldn't believe that verdict. **** off, OJ.

Miizuhara is the fall guy. That said, I really don't care if Ohtani has a gambling problem.

Goddamn good start right there.
