Everyone enjoy their weekend?

Before I shunt you off to The Gally Blog for tonight’s Last Call, I want to quiz the three of you who remain: Since (and I’m being honest here) many authors who used to write haven’t come back (depsite saying they would), a handful of writers and commenters disappeared with no notice, and Real Life taking its toll on a significant portion of the remaining faithful, I’d like to know from you who remain whether it’s worth continuing to gather together here. Here’s two options:

• Should we close the  Pub permanently?
• Should we cut back to only a few days a week? If so, which days to keep?

Vote in the comments section.If you have another option(s) or idea(s), by all means, shout out in the comments as well.  After you’ve done your civic duty, head off to The Gally Blog.

Sure, I know I posted that a week ago. But do I look like one to argue with a shark? Also, it’s still making me laugh. I think I may have to post this whenever I get pinch-hitting LC duties.

Anyway, lots of horrendously boring college football games happened today. And that’s not my CFB apathy talking. I mean the games were legitimately boring. Except for Jacksonville St. beating Ole Miss, which no one outside of the state of Mississippi could watch, no doubt. Also, help me try to convince A-A (whose Kentucky Wildcats won, thus putting themselves one step closer to the Music City Bowl) to write CFB for us.

Hmm, what attractive women am I going to post in a frustratingly (for you) classy ensemble of clothing? Well, hit the jump. We’re gonna try to double our comments from this morning!

Migraines suck. I’m popping out of my coma for just long enough to post this, and then finding something carby. And an icepack.

So, while I’m curled up under a rock, you lot have some fun with Last Call. I hear there’s something called College Football that started up yesterday…carry on, yo.

Everyone in the Northeast ready for the first French Toast Event of the season? Good gravy, you’d think it had never rained here before – the market was chaos. At noon. On a Thursday.  I was, of course, highly annoyed, as this is a chore that I detest for myriad reasons. I did however buy a 2-liter of Mt. Dew throwback as a consolation prize for myself. So…net zero?

So, anyhow, it’s time for Last Call. Regale us with tales from your local market, wherein the crazy cat ladies fight over the last can of Tender Vittles (or whatever, I don’t own a cat). Or, you know, talk about sports, that’s good too. Totally up to you folks.

Abbreviated vacation edition gang.  Sorry for my absence yesterday (assuming anyone missed me, and *shrugs* if not) – spur of the moment decisions resulting in a late return home get in the way of blog posting.

So, here’s your bumper for Last Call over at The Gally Blog – g’won there’s nothing going on here – I’ve got to clean up after this weekend.

The amazing thing is how well this guy is pulling, despite his mock fashion atrocity. I think that just goes to show what women want. By the way, I was kinda hoping people had stopped doing this, but I just saw a popped collar guy last Wednesday. My friend that I texted about it tried to spin it by saying he must have been European, but I don’t know too many Europeans with Cubs hats. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Anyway, equally perplexing is Gally’s format, which is why you should just click this link for Last Call at The Gally Blog. Then go read the Sunday Brunch. Occasionally, people work hard for your enjoyment.

Pfft. About the only good thing about the Everton game today was that they didn’t wear their Barbie pink kit. On the other hand, that might have scared Villa enough that at least **one** of the 17 corner kicks might have been converted. Ugh.

So, beyond that, I have no idea what transpired in the world of sport today – feel free to discuss it, or anything else, in the comments.

Frankly, the weather here in the East has been so grand, we’ve been outside enjoying it instead of staying inside and tending the homefront.  But that’s neither here nor there. Gather ’round, the Pub’s open for Last Call.

Don't worry; I'll put an attractive lady somewhere after the jump.

Buenos noches. I don’t want to write about what happened in sports today here. Mostly because I’m writing it up for tomorrow morning. So hang out and shoot the shit here, and then come back tomorrow morning and read. Just in case you think I’m the only one here, Alison Brie is here too.

I was gonna let the people moaning and crying about Ohio State-Michigan maybe not being the last game of the Big Ten (Twelve?) season have it this morning.  Keyword there is “gonna”.  But then I decided it’s really not worth it because if they want to be upset about something so mundane, then just have at it.  I’m slowly running out of steam when it comes to righteous anger over anything in sports lately, because it all just seems like so much noise.  I mean, honestly, damn near every so-called tradition in sports has gone out the window in the last generation or so.  I give thanks every day that certain things have stuck around, like Army-Navy still being the last regular season game, and OSU-Michigan, and Notre Dame-USC and Florida-Georgia and all the rest of them, but if they went away, what would happen?  Nothing.  The world would keep on spinning and we’d all be okay.

So if you all want to pitch a fit about the impending Big Whatever Number It’s Gonna Be Called taking away your precious OSU-Michigan weekend in November, remember that it’s the current hierarchy who pushed for this inclusion of Nebraska so that everyone could get their slice of an already bloated television pie.  It is what it is.  Money talks, bullshit walks.

It’s another good sporting weekend, so I’m sure we’ll all spend some quality couch time this weekend.

NFL Schedule

MLB Schedule

NASCAR in Atlanta

Have a great day and get back here later for Last Call. See ya.
