Something nice and easy today, as I had a lovely Valentine’s Day having food poisoning. I called out from work at the college (already insane enough, I don’t even remember the last time I called out sick—the last time I was sick in November I just slept in the tutor room because nobody came for tutoring) and would have probably called out from my gig if not for the fact that 1) It was a 10 minute drive from Apartment Weaselo and 2) I had the music and microphones, so if I’m not there the strings don’t have anything to play and no one’ll hear them. But yeah, taking the E train’s probably a bad idea when you don’t have control of what may happen at either end of your digestive system. I joked to Señorita Weaselo that it’s one of the benefits that we have not yet moved in together, we weren’t fighting over the bathroom. Chances are it’s from Monday’s dinner, but we didn’t get the same thing. So who knows what did it? Regardless, I’m feeling well enough and only housed one full bottle of Pedialyte, and didn’t touch the bottle of ginger ale that’s in my fridge.

She really was beautiful.
Flying to Vegas tomorrow. Should be a fun trip. Looking forward to the food.

My mom is trying to get me to accompy her to a weekend to Vegas to a friend getting married.
Pros: I’ve never been
Cons: I’ll be the one directing my mobility challenged mother where to go, plus the fact there’s almost no recreational actvitiy we’d both indulge in. (She doesn’t drink at all, it is what it is)
Also con: we’d have very little time to actually see the city. We’d be lucky to arrive frieday and leave Sunday
I’ve been for work and play, and Vegas starts to get old after about 72 hours. The exception to that is if someone else is paying for dinners and drinks.
Give her a bunch of quarters and park her in front of the slots. Older ladies loooooove the slots. I know this because I worked at a casino, it was a blue-haired army in there!
Take her to a casino and discover if she has a gambling problem.
I’m in Vegas right now, just had some tasty sushi and a saketini
Sushi Roku?
Taking the kids to sushi when we are there. I might have to do saketini just to say I tried it.
Northwestern has a very realistic chance to make the NCAA Tournament, and Mike Wilbon can’t wait to scream about how that’s where we went to college, and the complete resumes of every person he made eye contact with while there.
I for one, cannot wait for their inevitable double digit loss from a non power five team
Hey, it’s a first time for everything! Sorry, second time. Literally in the history of Northwestern.
Wake me up when Army makes the tourney.

My friend Giovanna went to the one in PA. Teeny little school, but very pretty.
Does the tournament have oil?
Here I am! Hollywood!
I was gonna ask one you for a lift but fortunately I was snorting coke on the plane with some big-tit supermodels who offered to take me to their hotel if they can blow me all night. So I said “okay.”
This town has been very good to me.
Welcome back!

IU was down 19 at the half, now down by five
Down by two.
And how did it finish?!?
Iu tied with less than 30 left, northwestern ran the clock down and score with 3 seconds left.
I’m not sure why IU didn’t use their last time out
So I don’t mean to alarm anyone but IU just hit a three and judging by the noise my dad just made I’m not convinced he didn’t just climax
Might also want to check on the dog and the peanut butter
Fuck mobile sports betting can’t come to Massachusetts soon enough. Yet another former Ice giant scored against them. It’s like free money at this point.
Stupid California voted down sports betting, bunch of prisses
You don’t see the term “prissess” used enough anymore. I’m going to start referring to princess as priss-ess and see what happens.
Evening everyone
Buongiorno!
I’m no expert, but that looks like an Atomic Wedgie to me.
Home boy don’t skip arms… or legs days it would appear.
Shitty beer is actually great for the end stages of food poisoning, mostly water with some nutrients and a small amount of booze negates the nausea somehow
We better listen to her, she’s a doctor after all.
I have heard that too. Flat beer as a remedy.
Oldest Fozz Spawn is transferring colleges. Not happy at my alma mater. I managed to have four years of flat out fucking fun.
He’s pissed at me because I told him that what he originally wanted to major in: golf course management – would mean more than a few years out in the boonies working on smaller courses.
Look, my father didn’t talk me out of my major, communications, and I sure as shit wished he had.
Is the problem the college or the major?
Like, is he switching colleges but sticking to the same major or switching majors AND colleges?
I think he wants to be closer to home, and I’m not happy about that because I had the same problem, and learned that i needed to leave the nest. i did and it was a great choice.
he’s super smart and awesome at math and business, so i want to guide him the right way.
although he’s also thinkign about law, which is good because that kid can argue his way out of a paper cup
Nothing wrong with him wanting to be closer to home. Maybe he wants to make sure he can be your alibi when the cops inevitably come knocking on the door?
He knows if you do the crime, you do the time.
He’s super attached to us, and that cuts both ways.
i think it would help everyone if I moved ot Acapulco
I mean DFO Forward Operating Base Acapulco sounds like a solid spot.
We could come over right?
Oh, no no no. Bad idea, trust me. Being a lawyer is the worst.

True. He might develop a crippling vacuum addiction…
It’s actually a pretty sweet gig, but I was dead inside before I went to law school. Something to keep in mind.
Also, “I like to/am good at arguing” is one of the worst reasons to become a lawyer.
Ajax take on Comintern FC in Zooropa tomorrow. Exciting!
/fuck, how can me make it to September
You are a fantasy beisbol player. You will make it.
Just Sim league, and I still have zero interest in watching Manfred-ball. But checking boxscores will at least eat up 4 or 5 minutes a miserable day
So anyhow when we were walking the dog this evening we heard a someone yelling behind us, and turned around to see a guy laying in the street holding his leg. A car was driving off – not frantically or anything – and I ran over to see what had happened to the guy. It looked like his femur was broken. There was a woman there who spoke to him in Spanish – I assumed she was calling an ambulance so I pretty much just stood there with my thumb up my ass until it occurred to me to get out into the street and wave traffic by to make sure nobody ran him over again. Turned out she was calling his parents (or maybe some other relatives) who showed up pretty quickly, and *they* called an ambulance. Then my doctor neighbor drove by on his way home from work so he stopped and kept the guy calm until the ambulance arrived. Then I went home.
Anyhow, I was pretty useless, but I think that’s okay because there wasn’t really anything I could have done (not even call 911, since I don’t carry a cellphone while walking the dog). I didn’t panic or anything, so that’s good.
Around here, we don’t use the term hero lightly…
Heavy heroes or gtfo
–Andy Reid at a sandwich shop
Please direct me to a location where they do, because I’d like to go there and be called a hero.
Did you demand his papers? – Ron D., Tallahassee, FL

Gov Abbott has left the chat
Look, they’re eventually going to need someone to vacuum up the debris from the accident. You’ve still got a chance to be a hero here.
You know, sometimes you get these thoughts in your head, you just gotta put pen to paper.
I don’t know if he’s watching tonight, but I’d like to think he appreciates it

The world ending before Cincinnati winning an Owl is much more likely.
No, it makes perfect sense. I’ll explain later this week.
I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be the first to poop your pants on the E train. Hope you feel better!
Wouldn’t be the first or last in the next five minutes.
Hey, if it came out the other way it wouldn’t be the first time I threw up on the E train, but that first time was at 2:30 AM New Year’s morning so that’s to be expected.
Youngest is in “SpongeBob Square Pants the musical” so at the show. It’s good so far and actually kinda funny.
Get better soon Weaselo

YOU KNOW THEM THERE SPONGEBOBS IS FOR THE GAYS? RIGHT? DAMN GAYS IN THE WATER TALKING WITH GAYS AND BEING GAY. NOT FOR ME, BUDDY.
So three things:
1. My dad is doing one of his quadannual star trek binges. Rather than actually get a free month of paramount he’s filling up the dvr with episodes of the next generation. Skin of evil is on and I legit think he forgot Tasha dies.
2. He’s taken to calling the shih tzu Worf. I asked him what kllingon name our old rottie would have had and he doesn’t have a good answer.
3. IU is facing northwestern, which is interesting because they beat purdue on Sunday.
DVR!? What is this, (checks notes), Mintaka III!?
I don’t get it either. One of the points of our living agreement is that I refuse to pay for cable and I cover almost ALL the streaming services, but he needs his IU fix.
TRUE HIPPO STORY – Am wearing the IU sweatshirt I bought in support of Wolven Sort alumnus Arch Miller. Y’all may have fired Arch, but fuck Chris Collins anyway. After Laettner, he is my most despised Dookie

RIGHT?
I think a good Celebrity Death Match would be Rob Manfred’s hatred of baseball against Gary Bettman’s hatred of hockey.
Like Highlander, but for human garbage.
I was watching this dumb sludge thing and I realized it’s about halfway between JJFOzz and Rubert Murdoch
Sir, you honor me.
I didn’t realize Sinclair owns Bally, good thing I don’t watch Bally
I only recently realized Bally took over all the regional Fox sports networks that used to exist.
NFL coaching rumors are diabolically stoopid.
Jeeze, how big is that airplane?
It’s a matter of perspective, the Chinese spy Ballon that took the shot was only about a hundred feet above the plane.
