@Lord Defect how are you with heights?
I operate 110’ high reaches. I’m fine as long as I’m getting paid.

Speaking of trades, when’s the Briere one going to be finalized?

I hate non-Steeler quarterback injuries. They ruin so many games. Sad.

We start the day with @GKJ on the clock, @CanadianFlyer88 on deck, @Asnito on the lido deck, and BiggE on the lido afterdeck. Believe it or not, my brother has to make up a pick, but he will do that as soon as TV's sister-in-law thinks of a Dealer's Choice III on the way to the office.

I know how carefully you all read every one of these morning shits I post, so I am sure you are aware that I haven't freaked out once in nine seasons over the decision someone has made on "I Am SOLO." Well, friends, that is about to change.

Season nine had plenty of good-looking ladies on there - probably the best set top to bottom that they have had, with apologies for speaking of them like they are objects, and all but one of them was cool and interesting enough. The two best-looking and most interesting were named Young Sook and Ok Soon. One of the guys on there was this psychiatrist, and he was a real character. He started the season in the introduction episode wearing sunglasses, and just kind of acting funny. He wasn't obviously good-looking at all, as far as I could tell, but damn near every one of the women started to fall for him. He had a special connection with Ok Soon from the beginning, but she made a mistake halfway through - she didn't want to go on a 2-on-1 date with him and another girl because she thought it would be a waste of time and wanted to be alone with him, so she went with another guy (a non-threatening teddy bear type). This bothered Sunglasses more than it should have, even after she explained herself and apologized for making a mistake. In the next couple of days he spent time with Young Sook, and he was more and more drawn to her. You could see why - she was very bubbly without being the least bit phony and very easy on the eyes. But after talking things over with Ok Soon a few times, it looked like they were right back in synch and he would pick her at the end.

Of course he didn't, the f***nugget. It's not like Young Sook was a bad choice for almost anyone you could think of - she rules - but I just don't think it's going to last. I also liked Ok Soon best, and since I have to live vicariously through this dork, I was super disappointed. Like I said, it was the first time one of these guys really blew it at the end, and I didn't like it.

Team Dealers Choice III:

This is probably a good future category as I will select a ‘Team Over-the-Air Radio Station’ a radio station that must be on the FM frequency because eventually your internet in the quackverse will go out and you need something to listen to.

I’ll select 88.5 WXPN

Technically, I already selected College Radio in a previous Dealer's Choice or Wildcard, but I'm fine with you having this one.

Even though it’s own by a college, not sure anyone would consider it a ‘college radio station’ based on the content. Every time they vote and do a countdown on the best music ever, all of it is from long before any college student was born and some of their parents too.

We already have the GOAT talk show host, as well as someone in the next tier of greats, so we'll go off the board a little for this pick.

He doesn't/didn't host a talk show, per se, but he did host a travel show that included guests of a sort, so it fits the definition close enough.

The Seattle Sockeyes are thrilled to select lovable nerd, Richard Ayoade.

The official golf course of the Jacksonville Methgators will be the home of the Players Tournament, TPC Sawgrass Golf Club!

For those who don’t known, TPC Sawgrass is located in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach just a stones throw from our hometown of Jacksonville.

Joining proud Methgator Billy Horschel on the first tee will be a man who was born to be a Methgator! Please give a warm, and likely shitfaced, Jacksonville welcome to MR JOHN DALY!!!

Any thoughts, Billy?

And back to you, @BigToe stay out of the sand and keep hitting those greens! No Tommy, not those greens!

Dealers choice El Capitan
1673578830336.png

Dawn Wall (Big Wall climbing)
Location: El Capitan, Yosemite, USA
  • First ascent: Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson in January, 2015

This ultimate Yosemite challenge is the tallest, steepest, and blankest route up El Capitan – and its first free climb was so impressive the then USA President, Barack Obama, personally congratulated Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson when they completed it.

The super-long ascent has 32 incredibly difficult pitches, with "handholds the size of a credit card edge and footholds as shallow as a worn golf ball dimple". It took seven years of planning to complete.

In November 2016, Adam Ondra made the second ascent, taking a month of planning and scaling the route in just eight days. "There’s no doubt this is the hardest big-wall rock climb in the world," he said.

If I was King for a Day my rival would wake up on El Capitan and we'll see if he could adapt and overcome.

We start the day with @ajgoal on the clock, @BernieParent on deck, @JojoTheWhale on the lido deck, and Young Sandwich on the lido afterdeck slowly flipping through the pages of the underwear section of the Sears catalogue. Cannon and MacGruber can go anytime.

We are officially halfway through the f***ing hockey season, thank f***. The pessimistic way to look at that is that we still have almost half of the season to go, plus the Dog Star Game, and that sucks infinite ass from the bottomless pit of ass that is the #DarkestTimeline. But we can control the way we look at things. It's easier said than done the vast majority of the time, but with a little bit of work, we can get ourselves to see it optimistically. It's hard to believe that no one has been fired yet, and it's almost impossible to believe that anyone ever will be fired, but it is actually possible. Let's try and keep a ray of hope in all this darkness and just wait for that beautiful day.

People suck. Animals, on the other hand, rule. It's just a shame that so many suffer because people aren't responsible. Since the people on Earth Prime can't be trusted to do right by all of them, we're going to put a hand out to the least fortunate, and take all of the pets along that haven't found a good home on Earth Prime or with a member of the Quackverse. We're specifically going to do this last, none that have already been claimed, and if anyone picks an animal in a later phase it's available - we're just taking all the ones that are left when we're about to close the doors.

"Of the long list of wonderfully creative drafting categories that the Quackverse overlords have devised, the owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks have had arguably the most difficulty choosing the Dealer's Choice options because there is practically -- with the exception solely of the selections of our rival owners -- everything from which to choose. It boggles the mind to be given a genie's wish and narrow it down to one choice. After much thought, we opted for one of our most desired abilities, to be shared among all members of our franchise workforce: omnilingualism (the ability to speak and understand all languages).

"Language is not simply a means of communication but a powerful tool to engage, include, and connect with others. Who of us who have traveled to a far-off land, have not perked up our ears at hearing our native language spoken, and though this formed an instant affinity for the speaker? We accept the following expanded definition of omnilingualism according to the Superpowers Wiki:

The user can speak, write, understand and communicate in any language, including computer codes, the universal language of mathematics and music, languages that have never been heard before, sign language (even lip-reading), illegible words, and backwards speech and writing with little or no training. The user may even communicate with non-human animals or read body language.

It is now the turn of @JojoTheWhale to make his last pick of this round.

The character doesn't have a last name. I checked. It's Nathan Lane in the 1996 remake of La Cage aux Folles called The Birdcage. I wasn't sure if this would hold up, but we watched it again last night and loved it. They're so mean to him!

*Edit* I PMed buttlunch since this big dummy forgot to tag him.

Looks can be deceiving, but knowledge is power. This fine young lady was born to be a Sexpo and her expertise in all things sex will come in handy for the less experienced members of the team and anyone who might need to brush up on a specific topic here and there.
