Late Night Bullshit Bar: Open
Come on in, cheap bastards. I welcome you to my humble saloon. We've got a full bar, so whatever you do, before you post in this thread, you gotta tell me what you're ordering.
We're open tonight. 'Tis a rainy day in my fair Springfield, and I've got my Christmas shit up throughout the bar, including a mistletoe that I've disguised and will expose at opportune times throughout this thread. I've got a couple games on, right now Baylor's playing OK State. It's not exactly a big screen (the LNBS Bar is a classic dive) but it's the best I can do with all the money I've spent on the karaoke machine. Come on in. What's on your mind? You've got a captive, borderline-alcoholic audience, and everybody wants to comment on YOUR bullshit. Some things that have been floating around in my mind recently: 1. The Raiders loss has brought out a whole lot of interesting aspects of this board. But it reminds me why I almost always insist on watching the Chiefs with only a select few people: I can't stand the majority of grown men who are sports addicts. Women are usually more level-headed, and children are children. But grown men are huge babies, and it's incredibly aggravating to watch a game with. The CP Chat is about as bearable as it gets (the GDTs are just an orgy of intolerable id), but even in there you get a couple of assholes (*cough* pete *cough*) of people who trot out defeatist bullshit instead of weathering the ebbs and flows of the game. I don't know why it's so difficult to keep your emotions in check -- it's not even complicated. 2. We've had some conversation on this board about depression recently. I've struggled with depression earlier in my teens and early twenties, but defeated them over a protracted battle with it in my mid 20s. It takes incredible discipline, but now I fancy myself an extremely happy person. I've got my own "secrets" to it (not really secrets, but whatever) -- has anybody else in this thread defeated depression earlier in their lives? I'm very happy to share what I've learned about it should anybody care. 3. Women who are close with their parents are absolutely psychotic about them. I don't know what it is, but women are terrified of their parents. They are afraid if a parent ever comes into their home and it's in disarray, they will be banished from the family. On and on it goes. I am very close to my parents, but I've never truly cared if my parents ever approved of a girlfriend, how my home looks, or how I'm dressed. When women love their parents, they seem controlled by it. Maybe it's just my limited Ozarks exposure, but that's a stereotype I've seen develop. |

The Hogs beat the shit out of the Rebs today. We've now shut out back to back top 20 opponents.
My nephew QBs in the Mizzou state championship game next Saturday, which I'll be going to. I'm about to have a week off. Sitting by a fire with a glass of whiskey watching mizzou and tenner, seeing how tough the Hogs job is going to be next week. Life is good.

I saw a great show in Springfield last weekend at the Outland. Springfield has a nice little scene brewing. It's not typically my style, but I was impressed by locals Dream Ritual. I can't embed because I'm on my phone, but they were on a show the next night in KC and I enjoyed them both times.
They have a bandcamp page, Dream Ritual Springfield, MO. |

Didn't read all.
Drinking Maker's Mark. KC needs to beat Denver, Oak, and San Diego to make the playoffs IMO. They could lose to Den, but ONLY if they beat Arizona IMO. KC can make the playoffs if they finish 10-6. But they won't make it if they finish 9-7. I guarantee it. Also, we'll either play Indy, Baltimore, or Cincy in the playoffs. Sick of playing those teams, dammit. Also. Is alcohol an okay way with dealing with depression? |

Hendrick's and tonic, cucumber garnish.
Generally tired of dealing with my health crap. But I did walk over 11K steps today and had a good time taking photos for most of the morning. |

All three of my teams have lost this week. I have flags that fly in front of my house that looks like my signature banner. They are all down tonight.
Just need a few beers, watching Never Cry Wolf-as suggestion by a sub teacher. Good Sciency movie. And thankful I do not have to grade papers tomorrow. Thanksgiving break is close-going to see my mom-maybe for the last time. God that sucks.

A few years ago, I put in a web cam and hooked it up to my weather computer and watched the kids. They didn't know about it and I told them everything they did. It cuts down on the stupidity.

There are no free days in Mr. Reynolds' class.
Now, we have online learning. I can send the kids instructions and they can do work online. That also seems to cut down on stupidity and keeps the class instruction moving.

Interesting. I suppose when I have kids it'll all be different 10 years or so from now.
