NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – TITILLATING PHASE TWENTY-FOUR!

[Lord Defect]

Oh cool I haven't picked a holiday. I can delay the quote more.

I do this.

THank you Magua! Fizzly Magua! Furry Magua! Clean Magua!

I'm bringing back SATURNALIA.

Some perks:

1) Wine fueled orgies
2) An entire week off work, because it takes the whole week.
3) You become your boss's boss, social order is inverted.
4) Rampant gambling
5) You may be elected as the Saturnalia Leader of your family. It is then your job to roast the living shit out of everyone, prank everyone, buy the booze, and arrange for the strippers.

This is my kind of holiday.

@Lord Defect! Binged Defect! Hungover Defect! Oversexed Defect!

Oversexed?
We’re bringing back a pick we second choiced away a few phases back.
Welcome back to the Pufts GI Joe

Yooooooo @Rebels57

2 players is not a must, and difficulty not so much of a big deal. Girl likes party games but she also likes Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride which are on the complicated side compared to a party game. Those crazy, overly complicated ones? Meh

I will say she doesn't like Catan because it's too slow

We have codenames and that's about it I think. So I'm open to anything

Ok, so you know a lot of the big, broad names. That’s helpful. So is Catan being too slow.

I would look into these. Everything is roughly medium weight, shaded to the lighter side. Not everything will be up your alley. The point was to give you a shotgun of games our groups generally enjoy. All are officially Wife Approved.

Azul (and the other games in the Azul line, especially Queen’s Garden)

Wingspan

Attract a beautiful and diverse collection of birds to your wildlife preserve.

Are you my younger sister?

Will be made some time today. On HC's honor.

Did I say today? I meant tomorrow. Friggin HCette has me doing stupid shit.

Go into the bathroom. In the bathroom, you will find many pipes. These pipes are filled with pressurized water. Break them.

You won't have to do the stupid shit anymore

Except for fix the pipes. In the mean time, he’s alone in the bathroom and can take a minute to post his picks while he looks up on YouTube how to fix the pipes.

I was doing stupid shit during the Phillies game that broke my brain.

I tried to think of picks and nothing was coming due to it.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't know if you agree with me or not, but I think Pete Alonso is an eggplant emoji.

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock, @mja on deck, Asnito on the lido deck, and me on the lido afterdeck. @Hollywood Cannon has the rare (lol) opportunity to make two picks when he gets to his wife's office.

I'm getting toward the halfway point of season four of "Yes, I Do." It's quality, as usual, but the subtitles are a little less alien than last season, so that helps a lot. This one girl had to turn down the one guy after just seven days, and she was so f***ing mean about it. It was pretty startling to watch, because there's nothing really wrong with him. I put myself in his shoes, and I thought the one thing I would say to her is, quote, "No one has ever disliked me as much as you do." It's the kind of moment that makes you glad you aren't actually in his shoes or dealing with real people in the real world in actual life. F*** that. Recluse Life for the win!

Hollywood Cannon > Hollywood Couturier > Hollywood Cannon > Hollywood Excuses

Do you want me to give the Defect’s of the world ammo when I pick something already taken?

And don’t forget the OG, Hollywood Hamels

Oh I didn't know this. Well before my time

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Alright, i'm ready to make my selections...

First we are going to select our Official Team Tree. I'll admit that I don't really know if this is a different tree than what CanadianFlyer picked but I think that it is. So here we go... We are proud to select... Coast Redwood.

Now I will make our second selection I am going to tag in @Surrounded By Ahos to select our Official Team Nut. I haven't even mentioned this to him so whenever he comes around and if he can come up with a good one that pick will be made.

Boom, that's how you pass the buck.

Now do you wanna know the crazy shit that HCette had me dealing with yesterday?

I'm pretty sure that I was actually murdered last night and I just haven't realized it yet.

So... HCette put up some furniture that we have in what is going to be the new babies nursery on Facebook to giveaway. A bed frame, a side table, and a dresser. She has been talking to this one lady who is pregnant who says that she would love to have it. They've been going back and forth about when she could come and get it knowing that HCette nor myself will be helping move it from the house.

So we were up in Buffalo all weekend for my brother's father-in-law's funeral and it's determined that she was going to come and get it on Wednesday because that's when she could get some help.

Now HCette and Thatcher Venmo had plans to go away with her mom/sister/cousins for a couple of days leaving me home with the doggo. So it fell on me to deal with this whole ordeal.

I have no communication with this person. It's all through HCette second hand but i'm told that she's going to come sometime after 5/around 5. I rush home from work expecting for her to show up around then. I keep checking to see if someone is out front but hours go by and nothing. I finally give up and decide that I am going to go in the basement and watch the Phillies. Naturally this is at 7:30 and what do you know HCette texts me saying that she's asking if she can come now. I say whatever, fine. The person coming to get it also said that she was just going to send her mother and brother to save a spot in the car for room.

Now they get to the house. I meet them at the door and notice that they don't have any tools or anything when I was under the impression that they were going to be taking it apart and removing it that way but whatever. I take them upstairs to show them the furniture and i'm hit with the "we're just here to take pictures, we're going to need a pickup truck to move this and are we free this weekend?"

At this point i'm still only pretty sure that they took a picture of the bed frame which is weird as hell to me. I tell them fine whatever. I call HCette after and she's like "What? That wasn't the plan seemingly at all with what she had talked about with the other person."

My biggest flaw is that I have absolutely no concept of time. If something is five hours from now I am paralyzed to do anything during those five hours so sitting around with an indefinite start/end date yesterday threw me for a loop and then after it was over I was even more off put about the randomness of it all.

Am I murdered or going to get murdered? Probably 75%+ chance, right?

And do you wanna know what this asshole is doing right now also? I'm sitting here waiting for a person to show up to fix my damn washing machine with an indefinite timeline of when they'll get here.

MAKE IT STOP!

I currently have an 11 month old puppy(?) who has not been socialized one tiny bit. If you want someone to hide in the corner and give these people terrified yelps to disconcert them out of their nefarious plots, Willie’s got your back.

(I do not understand show dog breeders at all. Willie is a failed breeding dog due to autoimmune issues. He also has no idea how to be a dog.)

Facebook marketplace buyers are the flakiest people on the planet. It's like they get together at a yearly conference and decide to be as cryptic as possible when it's time to buy. I'm constantly in the same situation as you where my wife does all the coordination and I get the details passed to me.

We at least try to limit interaction by putting the item on the front porch and telling them to come grab it. It's still a nightmare though.

If you want a real security detail, I would suggest the pug. She chased an angry Bernese so far that he refuses to go into the front yard anymore. They have to use the back door with him.

Want me to come over and wait with you?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Want me to come over and wait with you?

Let’s just stand at the front door with our arms folded and refuse to talk. No signs of life except opening and closing the door for everyone.

I’m also open to curtsying. But that’s all.

(I do not understand show dog breeders at all. Willie is a failed breeding dog due to autoimmune issues. He also has no idea how to be a dog.)

That is a bummer. My parents rescued a 3 yr old Golden that was used to breed. Seemed like she spent a lot of time in a kennel and it took awhile to relax and “be a dog” once they got her. She came around though. Willie is a great name btw. It was my pound puppies name when I was a kid lol.

Bernie came from a horse farm. She shows her dogs but they aren’t kept in kennels. They are true working dogs. The transformation from muddy dog to ready to been shown in the ring is remarkable. It’s pretty cool as Bernie’s Mom, grandmom, brother and some others are there. I take him once a year to visit “his pack”
