- This still counts as a RAWWRR right?
Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke, only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fucking ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come on in, kick your shoes off and crack a beer; then regale us with a witty joke, bitch about that local sports team or ask gally the best way to get kicked out of a bar. Apparently he’s so good at it the manager will make up a nonsensical reason on the spot to do it. If you have something you’d like to see here, our contact info is over on the right and there’s always the tip line, tips @ thegallyblog.com
As you may have noticed we lost most of last weeks posting from here. Our glorious web hosts were having a sleepover in the server room and somebody spilled their sundae on our server. When they tried to clean it up, someone jiggled the cables and we lost 8 days worth of stuff. I’m trying to piece it together from cached files I find on the Internet, but it’s taking some time. If anyone thinks they could take over the often missing Blogkakke posts for a while, would ya get a hold of me. In a move to try something different tonight I think I got enough ficus’ for everyone. Hooray!

Sports Pickle: They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. That’s bullshit. If the cover says its about back alley abortions, you know it’s a quality read. Well, your favorite team’s logo says something about you as well.

Yes Sculptor, there’s a much bigger version of that picture two clicks away.
For Gimp:
Yes Gimpy, there’s also a much bigger version of this one as well.
Evening Bitches!
I think TPP is going to be trashed. A few of us are getting pretty heated.
/not really heated since we know we can’t do anything.
no worries, we invested in solid construction when it was going up. Hell, i even had the overhead lighting reinforced (can’t really call them chandeliers), so swing away. if you manage to get too heated, I can always turn the hose on you…
/fabulous discussion, we need TY and FD to disagree more often
It was nice to see Rob in WI as well as Martin swing by too.
FANtastic.
How’s everyone doing tonight?
pretty much finished a presentation for tomorrow. Had an awesome group that all worked super-hard, so that was pretty awesome.
Only 2 weeks of school left too.
I have got nothing done today. I was gone this weekend and I have spent all day catching up on the internet. I think I have a problem.
Did anyone else see the twitter fight between Florio and xmas ape? Hilarious.
re: what? Steelers fans?
Xmas Ape was trying to call Florio on floating theories about Big Ben without much substantiation. It’s the 2nd time I’ve seen them spat.
Ape is my favourite KSK writer (although CC being a marine is pretty cool), but Ape also spends his time trolling message boards and then complains about people that write on message boards. That’s like clicking on sexy friday and then complaining about the content. It’s self-inflicted and easily avoided.
Nothing gets me more fired up than a debate about the uselessness of salary caps in sports.
Also, I was off work today, and trolling the interwebs. I missed the Ape-Florio fight, though. Linkage?
I can’t think of a way top efficiently link the whole fight. Hey, there’s an idea. What if I was the blogger who covered twitter fights the best. *eyes become cartooned fluctuating dollar signs*
Can I be Bob Kenny to your Teddy Atlas? I think we have potential here.

Jason Kubel just hit the 1st home run (that counts) at Target Field.
I’m gonna be stepping out for a bit, don’t wait for me to start the party…
It’s not 5, and I’m drinking….I could get used to this day off and go into work the next day at 1 thing…cause the day off and back at work at 6am thing sucks.
And I’m all for a rookie salary cap and giving owners the thumb screws on publicly financed stadiums.
Also, the quickest way to improve your club cosmeticly is to have a good bullpen. the fastest way to demoralize a young time is to have a bad one that gives up lots of leads.
Rookie caps are a must. Rookie salaries are a farce that’s part of the reason there might be no NFL next year.
Yeh, rookie pay in the nfl is a problem. http://thegallyblog.com/2010/03/nfl-owners-%E2%80%9Cfixed%E2%80%9D-the-wrong-thing-that-needs-fixing/
Hello ladies! I saw part of the Florio/Ape battle. It was interesting. Ape , though I’m thankful for letting us interview him, does take himself too serious some times. You practically needed a thesaurus to read his book and he called me a douche because I made a Steeler joke.
The best burn was when Ape called Florio a Steeler’s fan.
Hello children.
Evening sir. Anything good going on?
Not much, you?
Appreciate all the feedback to the emails between FD and I. That was fun.
Watching baseball and reading. A perfectly boring evening, which is always appreciated.
Howdy pops
Hey fella. Did you get your server issues finally settled, then?
Yeah. I think they should cover at least a months worth of server fees for the outage though. That’s fair, right?
What about compensation for me? I demand double-pay for having to write my Tiger post twice.
Haha. I’ll look into increaing your pay this week. Do they still make one cent candies?
Wait, you’re paying some of us in candy?
Top picture: DO NOT WANT!
Would you have me change it? I could get around to doing that.
Nah, it’s cool. I adblocked it.
You can adblock things that aren’t ads? Just when I think I know computers, someone shows that I’m an ass.
Adblock Plus from Firefox can adblock anything.
So, I want to pose a similar question here that I did elsewhere:
Fighter 1: In two relatively brief moments immediately after the fight, against an opponent who’s tried to get (and apparently succeeded in getting) into his head, this fighter (a) trash talks a guy who’s just been knocked out and (b) disrespects the sponsors in his postfight interview. At the post-PPV press conference, however, this same fighter apologizes for both. Insincere apologies, maybe, but apologies nonetheless.
Fighter 2: Spends the entire championship fight toying with a man he should have finished – a man willing to engage on the feet, unlike a previous BJJ specialist. Instead of fighting, he clowns. He runs. He behaves like a damned fool. For close to 25 minutes. At the post-PPV press conference, he apologizes for nothing. In fact, he defends his conduct and tries to say it was the right thing to do, in some way.
You tell me who disgraced the sport more. Lesnar, who acted like an ass in the heat of the moment, then apologized publicly, or Silva, who just told every single UFC fan to go fuck themselves with both his in-ring performance and his answers at the press conference afterward.
Silva in a landslide.
They were both completely wrong.
But at least Dana can corner Lesnar, tell him to shut the fuck and actually correct the situation.
Silva seems completely unwilling to do anything that doesn’t involve shoving his own head up his ass.
I have a much easier time excusing Lesnar (who’s much newer to the sport, whose actions were confined to a small amount of time immediately after the fight) as opposed to Silva (for whom it became premeditated and petulant, especially at the press conference).
What about that fighter who mocked his overmatched opponent, danced around him, kept him up longer than he needed too, just to keep himself entertained, all the while talking so much junk he got the rest of the world disgusted with him.
It’s tough to compare Silva to Lesner to Ali, but that was the first thing I thought of.
Since I don’t remember, did Ali finish that fight, or did it go to a decision?
Lesnar’s acts were definitely different than Silva/Ali – but I have more of a problem with the latter.
Ali usually knocked his opponents out early on. But point taken.
As for Lesner, let’s not forget that he really got his start as a WWE personality. The showman and face/heel aspect and then relating that to MMA came through there. That Dana White is helping him get away from that is key.
So you’re saying Silva is the Floyd Mayweather of MMA?
Not yet. Silva’s not that much of a moron.
I’m partially out- about to watch Inglorious Basterds for the first time.
That movie is FUCKING GREAT.
I fully concur.
Did not like it.
Waltz was terrific. Pitt was good. Roth didn’t suck, neither did Novak.
Couldn’t stand everything else.
You didn’t like Laurent? I rather did.
She was just ok. I didn’t like the meat of her plot thread though.
I just dislike Tarentino movies that aren’t Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs & Jackie Brown I guess.
Didn’t like either Kill Bill?
Otherwise, fair point.
I thought Kill Bill was overrated too. It was a low budget slasher flick with a mainstream appeal. Big Whoop.
Are we already drunk, or is it just me?
I ran out too soon to be drunk
Amateur…
HOLY SHIT IT’S BRET HART AGAIN!
Like you expected him to go away gracefully?
I’m ok with him in this role. Though he should learn to talk less. If he can get the pale Hart family over, great.
More Natalya’s breasts aren’t a BAD thing.
Here’s a real question… Are we sure Anvil is her dad?!!
Agreed with the less Bret Hart talking, more glaring. And I also have to question if Natalya is the Anvil’s kid. She’s a little softer on the eyes than it may be possible for someone from his gene pool to be.
I mean, there is a reason they call him “Anvil.” He only tossed around a 100 lbs anvil like it was a chicken dinner…
Well, maybe if she grew out a goatee, we’d know for sure. But I never really get past her rack.
You’d get hard for the bearded lady at the circus, wouldn’t you?
If she had a nice rack. Or ass. Or legs. Or a dead sexy beard.

Okay – time to go interact with people in person. See you guys later, if you’re still up.
If this place doesn’t liven up, I’m going to post links to Nashville’s horror zone, the Craigslist postings.

Sup, y’all? I’m half-heartedly writing while looking at apts in South Carolina. Woo-hoo.
Might I ask why?
Company’s moving my department to Lancaster, SC. I was aware it was going to happen eventually, but wasn’t sure of much of the details til today.
I’m sorry? At least they did warn you and are giving you a chance to move.
Yeah, I’m not upset about it in that regard, I’m just really sick of moving- I lived in a different place every year in college, have been here for 8 months, and now have to move again. I found a box I haven’t unpacked…that was packed to go to college with me freshman year.
Yeah, I had to get used to a transient lifestyle back in the day… It blew.
Has anyone witnessed or eating the KFC Double Down sandwich? I’m almost scared of it…

I don’t know if he survived.
I’ll pour a 40 for him later.
Ok, I’m slipping out for the night folks. Take it easy.
Hey wrestling folks, saw that Hasselhoff was on RAW tonight. A) are these guest hosts a good thing? B) did I miss ou in not watching tonight?
The guest hosts are meh. Some add more than others, but none seem to add too much, and none hamper the show too much. Did you miss anything? An opportunity to turn your brain off for two hours.
Hey gang, sorry I missed the fun. Was on the phone with a friend who’s just not having a good time of things. I’ll be around tomorrow though…
No problem. It isn’t like the taps were turned off.
