Last Call

Sexy Time?
-Roger Ebert

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

Musical Interlude:

Linkage:

The Oatmeal: What your email address says about you. What does it say about you if you have all of the above though?
Washington Post: A reader Q&A with Bill Nye the Science Guy on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill situation.
KTLA: Woof! A lesson on how to step over the line without even trying to. Writer Ted Green uses Paul Pierces stabbing as a jumping point for humor.
Time Magazine: Time presents a list of the 50 worst inventions of all time. Some notables include 4square, DDT, New Coke and Asbestos. Oh man, that’s good.
The OC Register: How can you not love Steve Nash? Unless you’re Rob and jingoistic beyond measure.
CERN: NERD ALERT! NERD ALERT! A CERN experiment has announced the first direct observation of a tau particle in a muon neutrino beam. Woah!
Roger Ebert: The ongoing quest for Frisson. Don’t know what Frisson is, I didn’t, then click the link and find out.
Daily KOS: How and why the booms set up in the Gulf are all wrong. All wrong.

For The Lads:

Yes Please

For The Ladies:

Jeffrey Donovan aka Michael Weston RAWWWRRR!

    Evening folks, though I imagine y’all are off celebrating Memorial Day and not sitting at a computer.

  • Max Power says:

    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.

  • Sculptor?!? says:

    Ha, Bent Objects. I love Terry’s work – he’s got more than a few screws loose.

  • Chicago Sometimes says:

    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.

    • gally says:

      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!

    • Sculptor?!? says:

      I follow that one. They’re quite good. Now come down off the ledge, I’ll give you a cookie.

      • Chicago Sometimes says:

        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.

        • Sculptor?!? says:

          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.

    • Logic says:

      I follow the Global BP PR firm and they are fucking fantastic at what they do.

  • Logic says:

    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!

  • gally says:

    Wow, the Crystal Palace Football Club is pretty much about to be no more. After 105 years of existence.

    • Sculptor?!? says:

      details? I admit to being fuzzy minded right now (read: consumed alcohol on an empty stomach), and can’t place the appropriate club.

      • gally says:

        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.

    • WSR says:

      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.

  • Old King Clancy says:

    Could have used your Westen fanaticism a few days ago during my Bauer vs. Westen debate.

  • Sculptor?!? says:

    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.

    • Max Power says:

      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…

    • Old King Clancy says:

      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.

  • WSR says:

    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?
