Some thoughts on the Open:
1. The Mechanic is looking great
2. ESPN’s flight tracker for tee shots is something golf needed 10 years ago
3. Ryo Ishikawa has a fucking gericurl
Perhaps an Open Open Thread can be left out overnight tonight for golf banter?
July 14th, 2011 at 8:23 AM
The RIM article is a decent read, seems to simplistic to blame it on Balsillie’s quest for an NHL team.

dustin johnson goes bird, bird, ace. goes from +4 to E in 3 holes.

Wow, I get fed up w/ this site weeks ago over the stupid “Jose Bautista takes HGH” business, & then you totally redeem yourself with the Pinkerton video. 21-gun salute for CRM.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:27 AM
Ashy Larry
Pinkerton went from under to overrated. Half the songs are great but there is some filla in there. Getchoo is my favorite though. Seems to me like Matt Sharp is just holding Rivers back on that album that quirky stuff.
Doing the Espy’s seems like being the half-time act at Arena Bowl. Terrible gig.

Daly at +1!
July 14th, 2011 at 8:31 AM
when will the first round of the Open be over? anyone?
i can do something about Bautista and HGH today if you’d like.

What a wonderful way to start the morning.

last tee time is at 11:11 AM.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:34 AM
Saw Horrible Bosses yesterday. CRM hit it right on the head. It was enjoyable and Charlie Day was fantastic. Biggest shock value of the movie was provided by a whipped friend of mine who was texting the whole movie with his pyscho GF and actually texted her “movie is about to start” during the previews and she called him and made him talk to her in the theatre. I was embarrassed for him.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:35 AM
I think you’re trying to get me started early today cleet…

Is there any way to watch the Open online?
I can’t wait to see Horrible Bosses. I feel like I live it every day.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:39 AM
There is an absurd amount of daylight in England right now so they can play a ton. They could finish on Sunday and play 18 holes of sudden death without it being an issue. England is much higher to the North Pole (like with Nova Scotia, I think) so there days are really long right now. This is also the reason the Scots go beserk in the fall, winter and spring.

She was out of town until this Saturday. I asked him what he wanted to do this weekend the other day because I forgot she was going to be back. He just looked at me defeated, I thought he was going to breakdown, and then he just said “Whatever she wants me to do, that’s what I’m doing.”
Another note about Horrible Bosses: Not a Sudaikis(sp) fan at all.

James Harrison on HGH > Jose Bautista on HGH

great album. great song choice.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:48 AM
Oh, but I have tried. I’ve had the talk. He knows the situation he is in. He’s given me the “I;m giving her one more chance” and “I think it’s over, this is it” lines about 10 times over the past 8 months. Yet nothing has changed.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Oh, and great Roundup today CRM. Chriqui isn’t my cup of tea but I know she’s a looker.

i used to work with this real asshat in the same boat. then one day he walks in and says “i’m gonna do it tonight. its going to finally be over tonight”. he walks in to the office the next day and we ask him how it went and he goes “i never got the words out. she told me she’s pregnant, so now we’re getting married.”
July 14th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
Chriqui has some weird legs. I guess most girls do these days. They only worry about their ribcage and up.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
no offense, but without meeting him, your buddy sounds like a total pussy.

Then she will become even more of a bitch after kids. They will get divorced, and she will be the mom from hell.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Ugh, that’s terrible.
Believe me, I was in a similar situation with my ex about four years ago. I finally came to the realization that everyone hated her and I needed to get out. Going to a strip club helped with the realization too. So cleet, take him to get a lap dance from the hottest girl you can find.
July 14th, 2011 at 8:55 AM
When it comes to this woman he is. I make no excuses for him. He is a genuine nice guy, one of those dudes that everyone knows and likes but this girl is draining the lifeforce* out of him. It’s sad to watch but in these cases experience has taught me the only one who can break the chains is the one chained, my logical advice won’t help him.
*Remember that game Lifeforce for Nintendo, you could use the Contra code to get 30 lives to fly the little spaceship in that one too.

Saw Horrible Bosses last night too. (Not with Cleet)
Thought it was solid, though I have come not to expect much from anything that Hollywood offers. I worry about Friends with Benefits. Looks funny. Kunis is hot, JT is enjoyable….but you know they end up together after they supposedly go their Separate Ways and have a sappy montage about getting back together.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:00 AM
No way could I sleep in one of those underwater rooms. Too afraid I’d wake up and someone would be staring at me from the outside.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:01 AM

Seth Meyers monologue was not good. He was bombing for a bit.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
I think we’ve all been in situations similar to this before, I know I have been, although it was a while ago. chalk it up to a learning experience, he’ll figure it out soon enough. hopefully she is at least a freak in the sack, that is the only thing that kept me around. she got that P control on him.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
YES!!!
July 14th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
Especially for the Open so you can see how much the wind fucks with these guys.
So funny to see some of these younger guys (Fowler, Moore, Ishikawa) try their usual cutesy shot-shaping stuff. As soon as the trajectory turns even the slightest, the wind is knocking that shit down. It’s like watching the Greatest Show On Turf play that style at Lambeau in January. Like Ryan Moore said, you have to play ugly golf to win.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
Clemens is a scumbag and he’s going to jail. Let’s move on.

Seen this too many times. This dude is long gone, and he ain’t coming back. If he didn’t tell her to cram it the first time she pulled this control shit, then he’s cooked.

July 14th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
Seth Meyers monologue was not good. He was bombing for a bit.
Quite a few of the jokes were 6 months old sports jokes, but what else are you going to do? Donald Trump jokes?
I like Seth Meyers just fine, and I laughed at some of the worst jokes, because they were such bad jokes, like the Michael Vick/Cat joke.
No athlete can be seen laughing at that one, because some dog loving crybaby fan will point out that they’re insensitive and then they’ll owe an apology.
I also would have laughed at 45 more Miami Heat jokes, including a joke about Chris Bosh’s wedding dress, and a joke about Glen Davis now being the softest NBA player, and also the squishiest.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
Ha. Reminded me of high school when I went to the Rock Superbowl. Journey was one of the bands, and when they played that song I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I was bawling as I sang the words.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
Glad you enjoyed it. There’s no way you can’t laugh at that video.

July 14th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Unless the weather is flawless (it won’t be), a guy with “ball-striking” as his strength will never win the British. It’s why SCRAPPY GRINDERS (TM every baseball writer/announcer) like Todd Hamilton and adaptable guys like Padraig will always do well.

I can understand that but I think it is better to have an actual standup comedian for these. Or at least give Seth Myers a desk and a graphics guy because that seems to be when he is somewhat funny.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:14 AM
I thought he was going to breakdown, and then he just said “Whatever she wants me to do, that’s what I’m doing.”
So sad. So very sad. RIP, Cleet’s friend.

I remember that Journey video from when it was brand new, and they showed music videos on TV. There was a channel that did it. Cant’ remember the name, but they showed music videos on television, all the time. And most were that bad.

Very obscure song, but “Don’t Answer Me” by Alan Parsons was a cool video. Goffy shit like AEIOU and sometimes Y by EBN OZN was entertaining as well. Videos were cool as hell before people figured out how to ruin them.
July 14th, 2011 at 9:29 AM
Midnight Oil – Beds are Burning.
45 degrees always seemed cold to me. But it helped ingrain the formula, because i could never remember how hot it actually was, so I always had to figure it out.

Local morning show had the author of the James Harrison article on this morning. He was completely clueless/jackass. He was bashing Ben for “missing” Mike Wallace when he was open on a deep route in the Super Bowl, then had no response when the sports guy on the show chimed in “You do know it was admitted after the game Wallace ran the wrong route and wasn’t where he was supposed to be”.
It continued like that – almost gave the impression this guy is hyperbolizing some things from Harrison to make a name for himself. That may not be the case, but it definitely came off that way.

Went out to dinner a few weeks ago with one of my wife’s good friends and her husband. Starting talking music and he mentioned that O.A.R. was his favorite band – then said I should go with him and his buddies to see them when they roll into town in a few weeks.
Is he 16? Do adults over the age of 21 attend OAR shows? When I went it seemed like I was at a high school dance.
Over the weekend my sister and my brother in law went to visit his sister and her husband. My brother in law’s brother in law invited him to a “sleepover” he and his friends were having this weekend at a hotel in downtown New Orleans. My brother in law replied “Hell no thats gay”. My sister laughed and the rest of the visit was pretty awkward.
