It's Grey Cup Sunday here - the CFL equivalent of the SuperBowl.
I haven't watched even a second of it since Dad died.

My dad was a great football player; was scouted by the CFL; but then took a cleat to the knee, ignored it, got blood poisoning, became septic, spent six months in the hospital and had Last Rites performed. Twice.
No more potential CFL career.

Oh wow. That is wild.
Yep, life's a crazy .

Wait, "b u g g e r" get's the asterisk treatment...?!

That was a bizarre series of incidents, to say the least. I don't think I've ever heard anything remotely close to what he experienced. Yikes.

Probably would have been no big deal if the injury had been dealt with properly from the get-go.
50 years ago ... the coach/trainer wrapped it to stop the bleeding and sent him back in.

Just as much blame goes on my dad though. It took a full week of neglect to get blood poisoning.
He was lucky to keep his leg. The doctors did everything they could to avoid amputation.

Thank you for clarifying. I was wracking my brain to figure out what 6-letter word got bleeped.
I blame PhotoDave!

Maybe bugs find the slang offensive? ( )

Oh my. Note to self to not ever use "slugger" then, either, so as not to offend any slugs...




And, it didn't asterisk slugger...

Slugs are a different breed; no self-esteem, apparently.

OK, I'm just gonna' go with the fact that the owner of the site is British, and bugg*r is kinda' an all-purpose expletive over there, as well as many other places.

My Nan was English. Bugg** is definitely a nasty word over there. As is "sod".

Not as nasty as the b-word, apparently, 'cause it didn't asterisk it...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty, halftime, which means it's time for a TSSFFBR...!
See ya'll in a bit...!!!

Technically it is a female dog so you could argue that.

BTW - I ended up getting dressed.
Ergo, I have an extra pyjama day to use later.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

How do you get evacuated from Carousel of Progress? I mean you just get up and walk out.

Pretty much. It stopped turning and we watched the same scene four times before finally being told to leave

[donaldtoo]

TSSFFBR complete!

Still clear and 75 degrees out there. Was sunny with a high of 79, today.
Supposed to be in the mid 40's by tomorrow afternoon, with lows in the low-mid 30's overnight.

 

[Goofyernmost]

To get dressed, or not to get dressed ....
That is the question.

That depends on what you are planning on doing next? Some things require dressing, some things don't.

Laundry.
And then, more laundry.

I got dressed anyway, as I figured the neighbour might pop over with beer, to entice Hubby to go to a Grey Cup party with him.
His wife already thinks I'm pretty lazy.

Which I am, so no biggie.

Salad does!

That was real cute how they not only showed Tom Brady on the sidelines screaming the f-word three times after the GB 1st down, but, they also repeated it in slo-mo, right before the commercial...
