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 Logic about self buttsecks. 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:
Ryan Pitts: Hey, you know that horn sound from Inception? Well now you can play it anytime you want at home.
Dave Jones: If the Old Spice guy, aka Isiah Mustafa, answered the social media critics.
Hype Beast: Here’s six songs from Daft Punk’s upcoming score for the new Tron movie. Different than what you’d expect, but good.
Break Lamps: The Sex Gods favor the bold. That is all.
The Oatmeal: Oatmeal is awkward just like us. Good to know.
Deadspin: The Downfall of the Bylaw Blog. Shitty news.
Fire Joe Morgan: In keeping with my strategery of posting stuff that’s old, here’s something from 2005. It’s a glossary of some real and made up baseball terms. Funny as hell anyways.
Warming Glow: Lot’s of people watched the premiere of Rubicon, relatively. Some people think it’s a big stupid poopy show, while others appreciate the art of it and the slow pace leading to a theoretical payoff… hmm, sounds an awful lot like Mad Men in that regards, only without a red head with big cans.
Sportress of Blogitude: Just like Jesus carried the cross, Tim Tebow carried the shoulder pads.
Uproxx: This week in meme watch is sad helmet Keanu. Well worth the click.
Cheesecake for the guys:
- Ashley Johnson
Yeah, not our typical cheesecake photo, but I’m just whetting your appetite for her next pro photo shoot in 3 weeks.
Cheesecake for the ladies:
- Matt Bomar RAWWRRRR

Okay, I could pretty much watch that cat FAIL all night. Yes, I’m easily amused, why do you ask?
I know, it’s awesome right?
I’m in the market for a new NFL team to support. Feel free to discuss here or email me your thoughts. Teams I will not consider are Dallas, Washington, NY Giants (for dick-move purposes, since I’m abandoning the Eagles), Pittsburgh, Miami (dislike their fanbases), Carolina (hate the colour scheme) and Minnesota (until you-know-who ACTUALLY retires).
Have at it.
Well, you could choose the Colts… They have shit on lock down, that is until the playoffs start.
The Browns need all the help they can get. But if you want a team that might actually WIN, well, my fallbacks (from childhood) are the Patriots and the 49ers. On second thought, just ignore me.
I may have barfed in my mouth a little bit with your claim of the Patriots..
What? They were the first NFL team I was exposed to – I did most of my growing up in CT, remember? Sheesh.
Fair, but as a long time Colts fan, well you know.
I’ll be honest. Leaders in the clubhouse at the moment are the Ravens (geographical closeness, out of the NFC and I’ve met both John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron and both are great guys), the Colts, the Pats, the Chiefs and….the Detroit Lions. I’d have a tough time choosing the Browns because to be honest, I don’t like the orange helmets (I never said this was a scientific thing – and that also disqualifies Cincinnati to a certain extent, because I hate their unis). So yeah.
Ouch. The Ravens? I’ll pretend I didn’t just read that.
Sorry. I know they’re pretty much the mortal enemy of Browns fans, and I know exactly why. That reason is why I haven’t picked them, quite frankly. I’m just trying to figure out what to do before the season starts.
Huf. Well, then go with Detroit. They need as much help as the Browns do.
Detoit’s far better than you think. I think.
Wait, did you grow a vagina? DQing teams for helmet color?
Not a scientific thing, dude. My game, my rules.
Just busting yer balls man
The Lions can use all the fans they can get. I always root for them on Turkey day, so there’s that.
They’re also PJD’s secondary team. He wrote about it some time back.
Wait, so are you going to switch to Everton because of their flashy new pink away kit?
*barfs*
HA!
No.
*evil giggle* Seriously, whatever’s in the water at Goodison? Do.NOT.want.
God only knows what they were thinking with those horror shows. I cannot imagine that they got positive survey data from the supporters for a fully pink kit. It’s awful.
The Falcons seem like they are a rootable team that’s going to have stability at QB for a long time. Although, Arthur Blank has that creepy mustache…kinda like Gally’s
My mustache is magnificent like Bradley Whitford’s or Tom Selleck’s
wilford brimley?
Nah, I don’t really have the walrus going on.
It’s more than John Waters, but I wouldn’t go as far as Whitford or Selleck
Haha, well I’ll see if I can take a better picture of it.
Packers. Easy to root for. Nobody can bitch too much, especially now that Palooza has left the team. It’s who I chose when the Rams and Raiders both moved out of LA.
Also, I didn’t think what that Dallas Police Chief was saying was so bad. It didn’t come across as effective public speaking, but I took it that he was more encouraging women to watch out for each other, or if alone, take caution when drinking. I went to college in the Hood, even at 6-3 220 I got the “stay in the light, travel with a friend” talk for about getting to my car at night.You can’t blame the victim, but potential victims can take extra precautions.
yeah, it just came across completely wrong. he essentially made it sound like it was entirely a (drunk) woman’s fault she gets raped, with nothing to do with the male aggressor.
Wait, what’s this about rape? Seriously, I’ve not been paying attention to things lately
there’s a link on the pub bumper. some dumbass sheriff had an episode of unfortunate foot-in-mouth.
And people wonder why I hate people. Egads
srsly.
2Y
come to the side of good. Come root for the Green Bay Packers. We’ll welcome you with open arms.
Plus, we have Aaron Rodgers.
It might be because I’m retarded, but say I had the 3-5 pick in a fantasy draft, well I’d be hard pressed to not take Rodgers in that spot…
Hey everyone! I just got the ultimate flush letter from a prestigious art association – wanna read it?
What’d it say?
“I want to clarify a few points .
First is your score. Your work got 11 points out of 40. You got this score because NIADA is definitely not the right venue for your work. Work that objectifies women does not appeal to us. This issue is different than personal taste. Beyond that, your sculpting needs a very great deal of refinement and you have no evident signature style.
We do not have next years` location finalized. Reapplying is your choice but I seriously doubt that it would be to your advantage.
NIADA is just not your venue.”
Wasn’t that nice and friendly? And they wonder why they don’t have a very good image with most people. *laughter* I certainly didn’t expect THAT though. Snobbery yes, hostility, no.
Yeah, a little hostile
it’s a good thing that a) what they do or say has no affect on how I view myself or my work and (b) I went into the application process with that attitude.
It’s probably for the best
Snobs, and uncultured in letters. The use of “first” and no following numbered points. “You got” sweet Christ, this isn’t 7th grade review, it’s a professional organization. I can hear them snapping the gum in the background.
Also, the fact that they can’t understand that identifying ANY work of art as objectifying women is a matter of personal taste or interpretation.
“Reapplying is your choice but I seriously doubt that it would be to your advantage.” What the FUCK does this mean? Other then trying to sound important and serious, did the person who wrote it actually think about what the words they were putting together meant? Doubt it would make a difference, doubt that there would be change in scoring…but advantage has no place or meaning in that sentence. It can only be to your advantage to apply again. You already aren’t in! Sweet fucking Jesus I hate people.
HAHAHA, my thoughts too. I mean, it’s a group of DOLL artists. DOLLS, by DEFINITION, OBJECTIFY PEOPLE. Derp. So by their own claim, 98% of them should be booted out, since they do dolls of kids and women (the other 2% do weird humaniform expressionism)
