Friday POSBANG - Shootin' Blanks Edition
Bye week.
Time to spend the weekend working on that honey-do list, or taking the kids somewhere they've been asking.
Time to go to that wedding for that someone considerate who scheduled it during the bye week.
Time to go ahead and get that vasectomy done and spend the weekend sitting on a bag of frozen peas. No more questions, thank you.
Good Lord, I hate bye week. Good luck to you all making the most of it though.

Until you realize she was kidding that you will get more nooky. Spoiler alert!
October 21st, 2022 at 9:41 AM ^
this is not how it went for me but then again, ive been married 24 years and we still go at it like rabbits so idk
October 21st, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
Together or independently?
October 21st, 2022 at 9:46 AM ^
You're supposed to get a vasectomy during March Madness or the Masters so you can be icing on the couch all day Thursday - Sunday.
October 21st, 2022 at 8:20 AM ^
Have a surprise 40th Birthday party to attend. I plan on bringing my friend Grim with me (he is a Halloween decoration that I have). He should be a real hit at the party....
Other than that, heading the the LO v Saline football game tonight to check out Carr to see what all the hub bub is about and getting some lawn work in tomorrow during the day.
Then getting geared up for Sparty week, I have some Sparty friends that are chirping about wanting Harbaugh to stay for a very long time. After we crush them next Saturday, I just want to look at them and say "Yeah, your going to get what you wished for, but I pretty sure your not going to like how it turns out for you."
October 21st, 2022 at 8:21 AM ^
I had my vasectomy on a Thursday morning, first availability.
I can here after and saw a thread “Happy Vasectomy Day”.
I unknowingly had it scheduled the first day of March Madness and Michigan won both of their games, ‘twas a good weekend.
October 21st, 2022 at 8:31 AM ^
A good luck bang and happy Friday to all here even with blanks this week ! Might start packing for a trip back to Ann Arbor for game next week, and handle a few wee chores, and rest.
October 21st, 2022 at 8:44 AM ^
Busy weekend for me doing yard work. Happy it will at least be warm after the last few days. Enjoy your weekend all.
October 21st, 2022 at 8:51 AM ^
Tunnel of Trees, Kitch-iti-kipi, Pictured Rocks. At least she checked the schedule before booking the room.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
October 21st, 2022 at 8:57 AM ^
The weekend for all the yard work.
BANG
October 21st, 2022 at 9:01 AM ^
Happy thought for the day…
Michigan no doubt prepared a passing game plan for Penn State as they were expected to be a tough opponent. We needed none of it as it turned out.
MSU doesn’t have anything like they will see next week on film, and will spend a lot of time figuring out what to do with our run game.
I think there will be some pretty diabolical pass game against Sparty!
October 21st, 2022 at 9:07 AM ^
October 22nd and it'll be 70 degrees. I'm gonna take a LONG motorcycle ride.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:20 AM ^
This is not only Wife's Weekend--date night at Ciao's in Fenton. It is Daughter's Weekend for me too. So I'll be driving around dirt roads in my truck with my 15-year-old daughter, listening to Taylor Swift's new album which just "dropped" at midnight. God help me. I don't mind some of her music. But hours straight... The lyrics on her song about Kanye, "Karma?" "Karma is my cat who purrs on my lap because it loves me." Oof. So because I am humblebragging what a great husband and dad I am...bang me!!!!
October 21st, 2022 at 9:26 AM ^
A customer of mine recommended Ciao a few years ago, but we still haven't been. You like it? We're big fans of Fenton. It's one of the places we're considering as a retirement location.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
We love Ciao. They have a great wine selection and knowledgeable staff. Delicious bread to try not to fill up on. Try the gnocchi. It's made with rich Italian crack.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:42 AM ^
Thanks Baboo. We'll make it a point to get up there.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:40 AM ^
Fenton and the neighboring Flint Tropics are all the rage. Real estate price doubling has not yet caught up to that area yet...I've said too much!
October 21st, 2022 at 9:36 AM ^
We've got kid #2 on the way in January, and are very much done-zo after that. Two is plenty.
I will be scheduling my vasectomy probably the day before March Madness kicks off. I usually take that Friday off to watch the games, so I figure if I'm going to be sitting on my ass anyway, might as well make sure I get the snip-snap taken care of then, too.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:40 AM ^
LFG
Go Blue
October 21st, 2022 at 9:40 AM ^
Re: Vasectomy
wrong idea there. Book it for first Thursday in March. Dr’s orders no movement etc…you’ll be stuck on your couch with nothing but opening weekend of March Madness.
Also, modern laser vasectomies are painless and you can walk out of clinic without missing a beat. Just don’t tell your wife.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:49 AM ^
How modern are we talking here? I got mine done in 2015 and there were no lasers involved.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:47 AM ^
1st rule of Mgopoints is don't talk about points...
However, since points aren't working at the moment so this "shootin' blanks" edition is especially salient today for a posbang!
October 21st, 2022 at 12:15 PM ^
Hutch?
October 21st, 2022 at 9:47 AM ^
We're prepping our house to sell. This weekend should be a good weekend to push for all the big stuff to get done finally.
October 21st, 2022 at 9:48 AM ^
i don't have a "honey-do" list. my wife and i work as a 50-50 team on everything. well, except yard work. she is NOT messing with my power tools. my kids are grown and live elsewhere.
I am winterizing the mower/power tools this weekend. golfing and taking a scenic drive through the national forest saturday. should be back by 6 pm or so to catch up on the days games and watch football until she goes to bed, at which point i'll probably head up to the bar to catch up with friends and watch the UFC fights.
October 21st, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
Should be a great and relaxing weekend!
Biking and then beer at the brewery here tomorrow morning with the local alumni club (it's our bye-week tradition) and a stroll around Epcot on Sunday with a margarita from La Cava de Tequila.
October 21st, 2022 at 10:25 AM ^
I really thought this was gonna be a thread about Michigan man and former walk on Nick Blankenburg scoring the game winning goal for the Blue Jackets last night...
October 21st, 2022 at 10:26 AM ^
I'm rolling, laughing here. Well done!
Good luck with the vasectomy!✂️✂️🩹🩹
October 21st, 2022 at 10:26 AM ^
Perfectly-timed bye week this year - starting on the garage's transformation into a haunted house over the weekend
October 21st, 2022 at 10:49 AM ^
I follow 6 college football teams and two have byes this weekend. Schools of H&W, children and their spouses.
Michigan - bye, Georgia - bye, USNA v. Houston, CMU v. BGSU, Yale @ Penn and DePauw @ Ohio Wesleyan.
Quite a bit of channel surfing to be accomplished.
October 21st, 2022 at 11:05 AM ^
I didn't read through every comment but wear a jock strap post procedure for a couple days at least. HUGE difference in terms of discomfort. For what it's worth, I played a round a golf the day after I got mine and, except for a little bleeding, I was fine so long as I was wearing the jock.
October 21st, 2022 at 11:35 AM ^
Great, now the image of Wilford Brimley golfing in a jockstrap will pop into my head everytime I see a post of yours.
October 21st, 2022 at 4:03 PM ^
It didn't already? Must just be me.
October 22nd, 2022 at 1:37 PM ^
You're welcome.
October 21st, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
Speaking of shooting Blanks...
1/1/2 including the GWG for Blankenburg last night!
October 21st, 2022 at 11:20 AM ^
I never shoot blanks
October 21st, 2022 at 11:21 AM ^
hope your recovery is speedy
October 21st, 2022 at 11:31 AM ^
I don't know, I suppose I should winterize something
October 21st, 2022 at 11:55 AM ^
trust me, I know what I'm doing!
October 21st, 2022 at 12:06 PM ^
I'll humble brag that I specifically scheduled my wedding the day of the Delaware State massacre, figuring everyone would rather drink margaritas with us south of Cancun than watch baby seals get clubbed up and down in the Big House that day.
October 22nd, 2022 at 10:37 PM ^
Man, I got mine.
THEN got it reversed 8 years later. Yes. I. Did.
Carving pumpkins with the result of that decision tomorrow.
Then... maybe... watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
