This week, we have a “Theme By Request”.

See?  I listen.  Granted, I don’t always respond.  And almost never particularly quickly.  Sorry, I’m old.

But this week I wanted to get this one up quickly (phrasing) for our beloved Beerguyrob  so he doesn’t forget us while he’s on sabbatical for the next coupla weeks.  Because if he doesn’t come back then that’s just more work for the rest of us.   (Errrrrr….I mean we’re really gonna miss him and he is an invaluable asset, of course)

A one week turnaround time might even be a personal best for me on such requests, but I don’t know for sure.  Like I said, I’m old.

So what was his request that he probably thinks I’ve already forgotten about?  Just a little thing called  The Women of Marvel.

That’s Brie Larson up there in that banner image, btw.  She’s been cast to play Captain Marvel.  Also, she kinda purtty…

Later, you’ll be seeing more of her maybe.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t include this…

Does he know she’s the Black Widow?  Should he be bothered by this information?

Meh, what a way to go, right?

Also….  You’re welcome, Rob.

Now go clean yourself up.  We’re only just getting started.

Marvel-ous Sports

NFL

Seattle wore their best duds last night to the Valley of the Sun.  Causing everyone there (and everywhere else) to vomit.  No worries tho, as the vomit was indistinguishable from the uni color.  Yeeesh.

Obviously, Birdcano was instantly blinded and could not respond properly until it was too late.  Seahawks hang on, get the 22-16 road win.

Sunday/Monday Schedule

NHL

From my own homer fan (Capitals) standpoint, the early season has not been fun (Don’t look so smug, Pens…you ain’t doing so great either).  From a detached and unbiased hockey fan point of view however, this season is becoming somewhat interesting.  I’m surprisingly happy that baseball is over for the time-being and I can now watch a bit moar hockey.

Tonight’s Schedule

NBA

If the playoffs started today, neither CLE, LAC, LAL nor OKC would be in them.  If I gave a crap about the NBA this would make me happy.

NCAA Football

Saturday Schedule

NCAA Basketball

It’s back more or less starting tonight.  Nobody will know how good anyone really is for a month or so, as the Power 5 teams load up on creampuffs, with a few good games sprinkled in here and there for ratings.  But the usual suspects are at the top of the heap rankings wise.  Thank goodness the NCAA didn’t do anything to upset the apple cart.  And at least Adidas tried to make things interesting…

North Carolina getting off without any NCAA sanctions feels like a slow news day comparatively.

Of course it does to you, asswipe.  That’s exactly what they were counting on, too.  And simpleton “reporters” like you with low IQ’s and even shorter attention spans is why they got away with it.  So why don’t you hustle on over to twitter and find your next scoop there, Edwin R. Murrow.

The Women of Marvel

So, what are the criteria?  Simple.  If they’ve appeared in a Marvel film, they’re eligible, regardless of character played (ie they don’t necessarily have to have been cast as a SuperHero).

(I will not be going into the X-Men universe here, we might do that at a later time.  DC too.)

For example, this is Kat Dennings.  She was in one of the Thor movies I think I probably didn’t see.

But she has a place here, regardless of superpowers (which if she had one, it would be diverting the bloodflow in my…..)

OK!!!!!!  MOVING ALONG!!!!!

But you get the gist, yes?  OK, let’s do this.

(also, some of our lovelies will be represented more than once)

Enjoy….

Champagne?  Why not, Darling?

Something Funny(?)

Meanwhile, at NASA….

….the early tests on the new propulsion systems seem encouraging.

Let’s Drink Some Stuff

But apparently in the new one, Thor: FraggleRok  (yet another Thor movie I likely won’t see even when it’s free), Mjolnir gets all broken n junk.  Hopefully that means they’ll stop making those horrible movies.  But I know it doesn’t mean that.

Meh.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Love ya’s
