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 how to run a fictional twitter account. 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

Evening folks, though I imagine y’all are off celebrating Memorial Day and not sitting at a computer.
Evening
I finally listened to the KSK podcast on my Memorial Day travels today…you sounded great. A lot less “umms” than you gave yourself credit for.
Haha, though I still sound like a husky 14 year old girl.
Ha, Bent Objects. I love Terry’s work – he’s got more than a few screws loose.
haha, yeah I’d imagine.
Howzitgoing folks?
First of all of course a grateful salute to our servicemen/women; to those we have lost and to those who remain we say thank you.
I read that DKos article earlier today, Gally, and he’s right, HEADS HAVE TO ROLL. THE WHOLE THING IS BOTH BULL AND SHIT MAN WTF
Sorry. How-EVAH, I was able to get some admittedly black-humored laughs from Stumbling upon a fake BP public-relations feed: http://twitter.com/bpglobalpr for those who are inclined. If it’s been linked on LC before, sorry. If you’re one of those people who don’t know what sarcasm, parody and/or satire are (like some friends of mine who complained about that feed) then, with all due respect, kindly fuck off. It’s not quite Gourmet-Spud-level funny but it’s all that’s keeping me off the GODDAMN LEDGE RIGHT NOW OKAY???
That is all.
Yeah that Twitter feed is awesome. The DKos article makes me think it might be a growth industry and it’s time to get in NOW!
I follow that one. They’re quite good. Now come down off the ledge, I’ll give you a cookie.
HELLS YEAH Whatever flavor ya got, yes please!
Anyways. Thank Tebow, I thought I alone there for a minute! This one ultra-green friend who was offended, I’ve volunteered w/ her on environmental/social justice events and donated $$ to her groups. I’m sympathetic to the goddamn cause for fuckssakes okay?
But that don’t mean we can’t find humor in almost any effed-up situation and ridicule the ridiculous. I truly believe that. Anything else — where certain persons or topics cannot be satirized — is a cult.
Pfft, not all of us with an environmental bent have poles up our asses. Hell, you know me well enough through this joint. I might recycle and have solar panels, but some of the shit that’s been said has had me in hysterical tears.
And yeah, if you can’t find humour in a situation, hang up your cleats and go join the religions fundamentalists. Emphasis on MENTAL.
I follow the Global BP PR firm and they are fucking fantastic at what they do.
Hey all, I’ll be popping in and out. I have a lot of internet work ahead of me. Plus, I got an 1800 word fantasy baseball post out tomorrow!
I’m kinda doing the same…Bearcat needed a photoshop job his next post and I’m writing some too
Writing for tomorrow, isn’t that what tomorrow is for? Today is for doing nothing. Tomorrow is for that too, but… wait, what was I saying?
/Intermittently reading Psychology textbook and the Pat Tillman story.
You’re setting yourself up for jokes about being unemployed, sir.
Hmmm. I actually have 5 shifts this week. Wooohhh!! But the week after is a ghost town….
Wow, the Crystal Palace Football Club is pretty much about to be no more. After 105 years of existence.
details? I admit to being fuzzy minded right now (read: consumed alcohol on an empty stomach), and can’t place the appropriate club.
They’re in the first league, the one under the Champions league. You’d be better off asking 2Yellows I think. He’s been on the phone with his Dad over in Englandtown. I’m sure ATD will have a ton of posting on the subject tomorrow.
It appears that they’re up shit creek, and might have neglected to bring an oar.
Their potential liquidation also has an impact on a 2nd tier club here in the states, Crystal Palace Baltimore.
Could have used your Westen fanaticism a few days ago during my Bauer vs. Westen debate.
Don’t worry. I represented.
It was appreciated, even though, yeah, I knew we’d discussed it before. Like I said, I was writing lazy.
I’ve got a real doozy next weekend.
Yeah, probably. I didn’t see it though until it was too late.
Watching yet another bad Nick Cage movie. Were there any good ones?*
*it’s okay, I usually like bad movies. Good thin, since there’s so frakkin’ many of them.
Next on FX, huh?
I actually liked him a lot in Kick-Ass and have heard that his performance in Bad Lieutenant is so over-the-top, it’s good
Otherwise, you’re right…
heh, yeah. Dude’s actually growing on me, but I’ve got to say I’m happy he wasn’t cast as Clark Kent. That would’ve been catastrophic.
So I flipped this on to watch too. Wow…he’s bad.
He strikes me as a guy who would have very little to say – - he probably just recycles all his old cheesy lines in real life too.
yeah, but he’s a fun kind of bad, not a Steven Seagal kind of bad.
Steven Seagal is the only one in his own kind of bad. I’d rather watch a Gary Busey film festival, than recent Seagal offerings.
barf
hahahaha, you took the vomit right out of my mouth. wait, what?!?
weird
what’s weird? well, more like what *specifically* strikes you as weird at this moment?
Matchstick Men isn’t bad.
I still haven’t decided whether Leaving Las Vegas was actually a portrayal of late-stage alcoholism or whether he won an Oscar for just twitching a lot. Either way, damn near the most uncomfortable movie I’ve seen outside of Breaking the Waves.
So how do I follow up THAT post? What topics can I broach before football season starts? How about breaking up with a girlfriend since most of the other contributors here are probably on the receiving end of that, or just the receiving end of relationships in general?
what post? what’d i miss now?
The one where some people didn’t get tiny American flags.
oh, gods, that was so wrong, it was stupendous. I have no idea how you can top it.
how about how people pick their noses while stuck in traffic? because they forget they’re sitting in something with WINDOWS ALL AROUND THEM. (gods, i hate the NJ TPK)
Yeah sure, if you’ve got an idea run with it
