Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: More Notes from the Bandstand

Senor Weaselo - April 17, 2024April 17, 2024

7 gigs in 8 nights has come and gone, and there was much rejoicing for my bank account, especially after the check to the Treasury Department (aka, taxes) cleared. Which was good in that it essentially cleared dead money in that case. Less good in the amount of money, which

ballsofsteelandfury - April 17, 2024April 17, 2024

As you may remember, I let you know about my first tournament win of the year and my lowest score differential ever in Volume 2. Today, I'm going to tell you about the very next tourney I played with my club. This month's tournament was a two-person team Scramble. In this

Game Time Decision - April 16, 2024April 15, 2024

Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There's no reason as to why some comments make it and others don't. Seriously. There isn't. This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:There is no footprint

Hey, if you had April 15th in your "what Monday will be the first that Horatio forgets to post a mock draft" come on down and collect your winnings. I have no good excuse, I just straight up forgot. So rather than rush one of the good ideas that other people have

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Fix is In

Sharkbait - April 12, 2024April 12, 2024

Thankfully Friday is upon us once again. This has been the longest short week (for me at least). The family came back from a trip to northern Vermont to be in the path of totality for the eclipse, which was awesome and well worth it. However a long weekend with

Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your host John Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form, maybe say

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Night After Night

Senor Weaselo - April 10, 2024April 10, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdxPIrQZjYw Which is to say, tonight is night 4 of 7 gigs in 8 days. (Unfortunately, my Friday rehearsal fell through, or else it would have been 8 straight.)
