"United?" "Came together as," um, I don't know. It took me a little while to figure out "rise up like the ASSES OF THE FELIX!” Of course, I had to stop laughing first.
OT: The Wiz Live is much less lame than NBC's previous two attempts, probably because The Wiz is way less cheesy than the last two musicals. (They should do Pippin next.)
Also, too–only Drew Magary could make me laugh about this sad reality:
Colts at Steelers: Quick Big Ben concussion timeline:
1. Big Ben gets concussed
2. Big Ben asks for a concussion test
3. Big Ben says he ACES the concussion test but has a “traumatic ocular migraine,” which is clearly an injury he invented. “Guys, I don’t have a concussion. I just have Saddle Brain. Very common.”
4. Concussion test says Big Ben is concussed
5. NEXT concussion test says he’s okay to play!
I can't remember which one of you good Wonkers tipped me off to this guy, but I owe you a beer or two…
They have done so many bland songs since then. But maybe just as I think all Led Zeppelin songs are named "Baby Mamma Mamma Hobbit", Smokey knows all Coldplay songs are named "Yellow"?
"Tell us a little bit about Jake Ryan"
"He has a Porsche, his parents are out of town, he's having a big party. He's been dating the head cheerleader, but I think he's going to dump her for that younger redhead."
I probably missed the memo on this by a week or so, but the new slogan is a way more accurate than the old one. Congratulations to the moderator responsible.
P.S. Smokey and I will be attending next Thursday's game when the Vikings come to Arizona to face the mighty Cardinales. Look for us! We will be near the corner of one of the end zones. We will be the ones not wearing red. We will be wearing black. Unless it's one of those Cardinales "black out" games, in which case we will be wearing all white, including white mime-like make-up.
this game looked like the kind of nonsense I expect from Belichick and the Cheatriots. i wasn't watching closely enough (missed most of the game), but something looked fishy as hell
This has been a really strange season for the Packers. I didn't watch the game because chorus practice, but just reading the description has given me vertigo.
The John Byrne run was written by him as well, and it was sorta like Moonlighting. Broke the fourth wall all the time. Really goofy, funny stuff. I highly recommend reading it, it's like 15 issues I'm sure you can find online.
I'm still in touch with him on Twitter. For the most part, I quit commenting around the same time as him. We had the same objections. But yeah, he would slip in something very subtle and I always knew what he was saying.
Very good Emmit Smith's Lock of the Week this week. GIVE DREW MAGARY HIS PULITZER ALREADY!
Or at least a Webby. (Are those still A Thing?)
Stick a fuck in them!
“this team UNICYCLED and came together as lunch!!”
I'm still trying to parse what the hell this means. That's quality Drew.
"United?" "Came together as," um, I don't know. It took me a little while to figure out "rise up like the ASSES OF THE FELIX!” Of course, I had to stop laughing first.
My college mascot was the Felix!
ASSES OF THE FELIX I got right away because I used to read X-MEN.
Headline way too short there, shel.
Those really long headlines are more annoying than the spambots from old Wonkville.
I kinda miss Gloria and her Pune.
I feel like Chas is fundamentally misunderstanding what a headline is.
Tee-hee! Smokey changed the Wonkville motto.
LOL
HAH!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!
Love it.
A+
Packers in division at home: 0-2
Packers in division on the road: 2-0
what
I blame Scott Walker. He got the players drinking too much eggnog at halftime.
<img src="http://www.breitbartunmasked.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/walker-crosseyed.jpg" width="300">
You know they drink Tom & Jerrys there
Damnit, we seem to be getting Home Packers tonight.
One quibble: I have a better song and video that makes me want to run through a goddamn brick wall: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/vikingkitte…
It's the beginning of the end when you replace tacos with sprouts. Fucking monster all around.
Self, should I play James Starks? [probably not, nfw–maybe 3.2 points at the most] Okay!! I'll do it!
I'm starting 2 RBs from the same team this week!
How can anyone say 'Jim Bob Cooter' with a straight face?
OT: The Wiz Live is much less lame than NBC's previous two attempts, probably because The Wiz is way less cheesy than the last two musicals. (They should do Pippin next.)
H.M.S. Pinafore or gtfo!
I am never ever sick at sea.
Then give three cheers and one cheer more.
The Packers have Jared Abbrederis and Scott Tolzien? It's like a damn Badgers reunion there.
I can only get a sense of the game from the espn.com headlines, but: WTF, Packers?
Also, too–only Drew Magary could make me laugh about this sad reality:
I can't remember which one of you good Wonkers tipped me off to this guy, but I owe you a beer or two…
I believe it was Vodka.
That was me and I'm totally a cheap date.
Smokey: "The Lions are penetrating like a big ol' blue and silver dick!"
Also Vodka!
Honolulu blue balls are a real thing and can plague you for your entire life.
|More Vodka!|
Coldplay is the Super Bowl halftime headliner. Discuss.
No.
I think immediately of jaundice. (Why haven't they become some kind of Hep C awareness band by now?) Anesthetized garbage for the masses.
Jaundice? Are you think of their song "Yellow?" (Yes, that's the only Coldplay song I know and it's from like 2001 or something.
They have done so many bland songs since then. But maybe just as I think all Led Zeppelin songs are named "Baby Mamma Mamma Hobbit", Smokey knows all Coldplay songs are named "Yellow"?
Hey! "Baby Mamma Mamma Hobbit" is a great song! It ranks right up there with "Hey Hey Gollum, Let's Do the Watusi!"
They were |fitter and happier| then! [puleeze, ugh, the comparison– tastes just like Radiohead..|
Thank God I have to work and can't listen. Praise Jesus and amen.
I'm consciously uncoupling from this conversation.
Coldsore.
I hope Missy Elliott takes over right away. And Left Shark.
"Help us. Missy Elliott, you're our only hope!"
I understood that reference.
I hope Radiohead bursts in and plays this song (no, it's not "Creep): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJP0BwWB5Q
I'd prefer this one, which I assume is about Coldplay stalking them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXTyN2m8ZUQ
If the NFL owned a pair of balls, they'd invite Eagles of Death Metal to play at half time.
I don't understand how the Lions are winning this game. They're not good. At all.
And yet obviously better than the Packers, who have some kind of something lodged in their throats.
Something is screwed up with Rodgers. He's way better than this.
I am not going to be surprised if we find out in a couple weeks that he has one of those fatal foot diseases like Peyton.
Your shit team beat my shit team into the ground and actually has talent, so shaddup!
Thing is, with our shit offense, we have no business winning these games. We are conceivably in the playoff hunt at 4 and 7. HOW?
"Tell us a little bit about Jake Ryan"
"He has a Porsche, his parents are out of town, he's having a big party. He's been dating the head cheerleader, but I think he's going to dump her for that younger redhead."
Umm, Detroit? Why are the lights on at the Tigers' stadium? Don't you still have some budget troubles?
What is Comerica Park lit up for and why is there still grass on the field? I live two blocks away and have no idea why Comerica would be lit up.
Is there some kind of secret Winter Midnight Baseball League no one told us about?
It's probably just B-roll from a Tigers World Series game. No blimps for a lions game.
Might be some site of an annoying 2016 SportsCenter commercial.
This is how we score now? Kill me. That's some Jaguars shit is what that is.
Well, that's a little better.
I probably missed the memo on this by a week or so, but the new slogan is a way more accurate than the old one. Congratulations to the moderator responsible.
(Smokey just did it tonight as a bit of a larf.)
The Lions are going to end up losing this game, aren't they?
Just like the last time these two met, it's a race to see who can lose harder.
Aw, the announcers have a crush on Jake Ryan just like Samantha Baker (shut up, VH1 had that on repeat all last weekend).
Hey, Dearborn Truck! I used to rep to that plant! Still know a few people who work there.
P.S. Smokey and I will be attending next Thursday's game when the Vikings come to Arizona to face the mighty Cardinales. Look for us! We will be near the corner of one of the end zones.

I thought Arizona had a law against miming in public? Or is that New Mexico?
I would guess Santa Fe may have a miming and yoging ordinance.
This is insane.
WTF did I just watch?
HOLY SHIT!!!
I should be used to this fuckery, but I'm not.
I feel you, brother. I really do.
Snuck away and saw the last minute of this one. Sorry Vodka…
That should just be my new screen name through football season. "Sorry Vodka" The Lions should brand it and distill it through tears. Fuck.
What?! The Packers get one last play on a bullshit facemask penalty and win?! Fuck!
That wasn't even a horse collar tackle. I hate the NFL.
That, and combined with the two bullshit pass interference calls against the Lions mean that the refs really won this game. Fuck them.
The Lions maybe shoulda really covered that other Rodgers guy.
"Let's send all the defenders to the back of the end zone and let the Packers stand in front of us!"
this game looked like the kind of nonsense I expect from Belichick and the Cheatriots. i wasn't watching closely enough (missed most of the game), but something looked fishy as hell
You've never seen the NFL refereeing instructional video, "Let's Try To Keep The Game Close"?
I remember that one from the Dallas games, also too
HOLY SHIT
I can do without Phil Simms' post-game analysis. In fact, I can do without Phil Simms all together.

This has been a really strange season for the Packers. I didn't watch the game because chorus practice, but just reading the description has given me vertigo.
Hey! no need to do that. I'll get back to you, it's kinda difficult.
Hey, wanted to make sure you saw this. In 2011 WFMU declared ……… http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yfq588yUS8M/Trm5dkzyI5I…
Let's just say 10 year old Kevin was very much a fan of Jean Gray.
And She-Hulk as well. I want to see John Byrne's She-Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Such a great character.
The John Byrne run was written by him as well, and it was sorta like Moonlighting. Broke the fourth wall all the time. Really goofy, funny stuff. I highly recommend reading it, it's like 15 issues I'm sure you can find online.
There's also this: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/missouri-dems-bil…
I'm still in touch with him on Twitter. For the most part, I quit commenting around the same time as him. We had the same objections. But yeah, he would slip in something very subtle and I always knew what he was saying.
Infinity Gauntlet is required reading now if you continue to watch those movies. You can get the hardcover of it on Amazon for dirt cheap.
I don't know what that means.
That. Is. Brilliant!
I ain't going near your horizons.
Which?
Hmmmm. The taint?
