saTHERSday nite live!

Evening all. I’m sorta not here/here, so I loves ya, but am traveling, see ya soon, pups.

yikes… travel safe dood and keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel

Thers!

Hilarious video

that shot of george washington behind the wheel cracked me up eg

Thersaturday Night Live!

Generally, I find early presidents in automobiles to be rather droll.

it was the dukes of hazard look on his face like he was chasing the sheriff instead of being chased that had me chucklin.

Cute ad, except at least one of the Brits would have held his nerve long enough to get off a shot, and the moment it shattered the windshield of the lead vehicle the spell would have been broken and the volleys commenced.

Now, if Washington and his Dodge Boys gang had Kentucky rifles and riflemen, with a range three times that of the best British muskets, riding with them, then it would be a different story: They could have got within range, drawn beads on the officers, and demoralized the Redcoats in short order.

I watched most of the second half of the US/England game. We got lucky. Seemed like the US couldn’t retain possession and were on defense 90 percent of the time.

I confess I don’t know jack shit about soccer.

and pickemup trucks, gotta have pickemup trucks

i know even less than you — does a tie mean nothing and they have to do it again or is it counted like a half win and another tie equals a full win?

clueless i’m totally clueless

Our goal that tied the game was truly a fluke goal…! We shouldn’t get too cocky now…! ;-)

I have absolutely no idea.

It can’t be a real sport if it can end in a draw…

do you know anything about the game dood? i am in need of some ‘spaining

I read a headline that said, “Keeper’s Giraffe a Gift to US,” and I thought, well isn’t that special…

By the time I put my glasses on they had corrected it to “Gaffe.” :)

they use giraffes? dayam, that’s some exotic game

It’s sorta like hockey, if the goalie doesn’t completely stop the puck/ball and it gets by them and slides/rolls into the net, it’s a goal…! ;-)

The English should be crawling out of their beds in about 3 or 4 hours with a great collective hangover thinking “What the Bloody Hell!”

It’s very simple. To get a tie in the bottom of the 4th period, there has to be a hat trick with two extra points, plus 6 months for good behavior on the jump shot.

The giraffe did a wicked impression of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.

“I shtick my neck out for no one.”

i think i would rather bungee jump nekkid

Since they tied they both advance?

GW driving an SRT Dodge that gets something like 5 gallons to the mile
an appropriate symbol of American gluttony

With haound dawgs in the back! Not a truck lessen it haz a dawg or eight.

You are my dear sibling in allergy-to-sports.

Well, then, thank God they didn’t use John Quincy Adams’ Expedition.

LOL!

“We’re liable to start rollin’ and slap ourselves silly!”

well, to be honest, i would rather watch other folks bungee jump nekkid

‘my teeth would fall out’

Group play still continues whether you win, draw, or lose…! The winners of each group, after playing each of the other group members, will advance to the next round…! ;-)

Ben Franklin tried to talk them into using Hummers, but the interiors were so noisy Jefferson couldn’t hear himself fiddle, so they had to scotch that idea.

At the very least… “g”

Didn’t Jefferson send Lewis and Clark off in an Expedition ?

shit, i can’t think of any car names

Ah, Liz Lambert. Make’s Tonya Harding look like Mother Theresa, or at least like somebody close to normal. My daughter told me about Liz. Here’s a Liz Lambert dating TV program video.

hahahahaha

I would blame the point on ES&S, meself.

I know I should know better, Liz, home team.

We did get rid of ES&S, however.

The 2 teams with the most points in the group will advance to the next round. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

The draw today was good for the USA because they are psyched that they didn’t let England kick their butts and bad for England because they were the heavy favorites and didn’t deliver. Also, excellent that we are 1-1 with the best team in our group going forward.

aha…. thanks midcentury

It’s BP not British Petrolum like KFC is just KFC not Kentucky Fried Chicken!
And if we have to destroy the company called Two random letters, we Will!

The Republicans will surely be recruiting Lambert. She’ll fit right in.

SaTHERSday Nught Fever!

Greetings, pups. I am just off an awesome, if exhausting experience. I was volunteering for a fundraiser for the Montana Food Bank Network (which services agencies statewide). They partnered with a local brewery and several restaurants to stage the Missoula BBQ Fest and all proceeds went to MFBN. There were also four great local bands who volunteered for the effort. They went through twice as much food and beer (all donated) as the expected and far exceeded their expectations.

Good evening puppies! Darlin’ rat, yes, they all advance. Each team racks up points during the round of 32 (otherwise known as “group stage”, the teams are playing in 8 groups (A,B,C,D,E,F,G, and H) of 4 teams. The teams earn points to advance to the next round of games, 0 points for a loss, 1 point for a tie, 3 points for a win. The top 2 teams of each group (the ones which earned the most points) advance to the round of 16, which is a round of playoff/elimination. So, the winning teams of group A play the winning teams of group g, for instance) Winners advance to the round of 8, losers go home. Then you have 8 teams left (round of 8) which play each other, winners advance to the quarter finals, then semi finals and then finals. They also have a third place game in which the losers of the 2 semi final games play each other to determine 3rd place.

woohoo dr dick — that’s forking awesome good works

Question: How do Europublicans get any sleep?
Answer: They play tape of the most exciting soccer game ever.

I was reading that going in the U.S. was considered comparatively weak on defense. That did not turn out to be the case, in this game at least.

Even if that USA point was to all intents an “own goal”! You know the US team is happy to get the tie point, but they have to know that they would have lost if it hadn’t been for that massive f*ck up by the Brit keeper.

Thanks. I hope they can hang in there awhile. How much recovery time to they have between matches? They were looking pretty tired by the end today.

The keeper’s giraffe, I mean gaffe.

Sure it’s not a cricket game instead…? ;-)

TMI!

Great cause, well done, sir!

Spent six hours serving beer. We went through 24 kegs (they expected to go through 10 and had 15 initially lined up). The Brewery, where the event was held, was really awesome and almost makes me believe all corporations are not soulless monsters.

Oh DrDick,
What a wonderful contribution! That makes my heart sing.

That would get my vote.

Wha?… Game…? Not cricket…? Oh, I’m so confooozled…

See my 16.

Just curious, what type of beer?

Typically the teams have 5 to 7 days between games. The most game a team will play, if they keep winning is 7 games over the course of the 1 month long World Cup.
I know. I’m always astounded at how they can RUN non-stop for 45 minutes, and then do it again a half hour later. American football is for wusses, with their stop every 15 seconds for 3 minutes while they run the commercials….

I’ve begun watching a new (old) Britcom. Wooster and Jeeves. It’s quite good, bit more lavishly produced and a bit less madcap as my usual fare. It stars Hugh Laurie.

These kinds. All microbrews.

Razzberry! See my #60.

I happened to be in Europe during a world cup a few years back. The streets would be totally empty during the games. One time a ton of people suddenly poured out of a bar, it was a break in the game, so everyone took a smoke break, no smoking indoors.

It is definitely a big deal there, everywhere.

Woops, sorry spocko, this has nothing to do with the company formerly known as BP. . .

And Stephen Fry as Jeeves! Wonderful! Altho it’s quite a jolt to realize that Laurie went from Silly-ass Wooster to “House”. It proves the guy really CAN act!

US soccer/World Football rules our house.

The insanely hard impacts in American football take their toll. During a halftime once I heard a physicist factor the average variables such as speed, player weight, etc. and for purpose of analogy compare a typical quarterback sack to falling off a 13′ wall.

Probably to be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve seen a quarterback get sacked eight times in a game and while they were moving pretty gingerly after eight 13′ falls I seriously doubt they’d ever move again.

I agree, the pace of football bugs me. I can be quite satisfied watching a highlight tape.

Great news!

Looks good. This is one I mentioned last night. A friend brought me a bottle of it recently.

I’ve never watched House. I’m familiar with Laurie and Fry from their work in Blackadder 3 & 4. Terrific actors.

Missoula has three breweries (two I know are micro brews) and there are two more just south of here. Montanans like their beer and their coffee and you can get really good local products.

England’s goalie was utterly mortified. Beckham on the sidelines was wearing a grim face.

They grow coffee in Montana?

Aside from just being superior beer, one feels a lot better about subsidizing a local microbrewery.

I’m certain he’d be mortified if it happened during the regular season. Hard to imagine what it felt like today.

They don’t grow coffee, but there are several local roasters here who make really good coffees. I drink almost nothing except local microbrews.

Well yeah. If you can call getting tossed off a 13 foot wall 12 times a “sport”….

Here ya go, best of both worlds.

Time for me to retire. Wishing a splendid evening to all.

g’nite rat

Yeah, all I could think was that I bet Greene hoped his kids weren’t watching. You know he’s going to take a lot of shit for that boob. The Daily Mirror headline is “GREENE’S ACT OF CLOD”

Can’t say that idea appeals to me. Sleep well, my friend. I think I will head out as well. I am beat. Take care all.

ouch

Aloha, rf…! Give Bob a few seeds for me…! ;-)

“Nite Rat. Watch the game tomorrow!

Aloha, Dr. D…!

g’nite dr *pause* dick

Brits don’t pull no punches in their football!

Bedtime for me, too. Enjoy the games tomorrow CE!

g’nite conniption

Thanks! We are totally into the World Cup.

hey ce — you are gonna be my go to gal for info — i don’t know squat and even fork up how to spell soccor soccer fuck…

heh, heh,
Any question you have, MrCE will answer. He goes to football matches “over there” when we travel, and we sat on bleachers for 8 years watching our son play soccer. We live it.

Suz, are we on schedule for, you know, Late Late toonage?

i was able to avoid the game — jen’s sport was cheerleading and stephanie’s was basketball.

toon-
toon-
toon!

eager tonight lurk?

I love soccer, American or European, but my passion is lacrosse. That, I scream for (and our son played for 6 years, and loved so much). It almost paid for a college scholarship,

saturday nite cartoon upstairs folks

It gets 20 miles to the gallon and I would prefer that you keep the “politically incorrect” muscle cars out of this, kthx.

right, cause being this thread’s author and all…

I’m just tired of the bashing, that’s all.

It still would have problems against a well-aimed musket. That’s why Franklin wanted the Hummers.

The maneuverability of the Challenger… nah, can’t spit it out. A Mustang would be more maneuverable, and it’s made in America (the Challenger is made in Canada).
