Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Lack of Recaps

Okay, I’m gonna do my best to not wax poetic about last night’s WBC final and the top of the 9th. But even though you can’t predict baseball, Suzyn, sometimes, you can predict baseball, Suzyn. Because we all wanted to see it, and we all could predict it. That, Jeter’s last at-bat, several other things that I can’t think of off the top of my head.

All I can say is that I was definitely not watching the 9th inning on a friend’s phone while he commentated, as I was driving us back from a gig and doing 80 on the Garden State. That definitely did not happen.

So with that, the news:

-QAARON’S QAVE WATCH QONTINUES. And so far, absolutely nothing of note as the Jets and Packers front offices continue to jostle for “leverage.”
Canadian billionaire joins bidding for football team based in American capital. I assume fans will react reasonably.
P*ts re-sign CB Jalen Mills to a one-year deal. The team was originally planning to release him.
-Falcons re-activate retired DT Eddie Goldman
N-GCP sign RB Ronald Jones.

In non-football, “this fight’s never gonna happen” news, Fury-Usyk is back in jeopardy! Undisputed heavyweight champion of the world is back off the menu!

It’s a real shame Conor McDavid will waste away like Barry Sanders and Megatron.

Whatever one of the guys on the TNT hawkey broadcast said, but it made Ron Hextall’s daughter laugh on-air for a solid 30 seconds. She was wheezing.

They just came back from break, and she seems under control again.

The Tune Inn is legendary and very close to my house. If I weren’t in LA right now, I’d be buying Brick a round and then expecting him to buy two in return.

Brick Meathook

I’ll buy you rounds around the corner at Legion Post #8.

I first came here in high school on a fake ID in 1978.

It’s gentrified now. Back in the day this place was certifiably rugged.

I made fake IDs for my classmates, and mine worked, dammit! Virginia DL was ridiculously easy to alter back then.

Gumbygirl

PA had paper ones when I was using fakes. I have a sister who is 4 years older, so I just used hers. Same height and weight, same hair and eye color.

We won’t tell the others.

In case any of you have been participating/ watching, the Arizona Snitch on Teacher’s Lessons hotline is off to a rousing start. At what point can i start requesting these records under a foia?

“Last week, Horne told KTAR News the hotline had received about half a dozen complaints that were worth investigating out of about 2,000 emails and 600 calls and voicemails in the first week.”

We’re watching a Korean show called “Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo” and this woman is who they cast as an Olympic weightlifter:

It’s called “acting” for a reason, Rikki

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not sure she’s got the core/leg strength to pull off that 250 lbs clean and jerk.

Mr. Ayo

She was probably really great at the jerk and clean of the 250lbs in the audition

JV Cincy is losing to Utah Valley H.S. in the NIT. Yup, that’s par for the course for the Bearcats.

I’m sure the national championship and Final Four banners will wipe the tears away.

Raiders’ Foster Moreau stepping away from football after Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis – CBSSports.com

If the NFL had a heart, they’d sign him to a contract as a “Consultant” so he could still get a paycheck.

SonOfSpam

He can only use The Official Chemo Of The NFL.

(also, dammit, fuck off cancer)

Doktor Zymm

I hope he at least played enough to get health insurance

Doktor Zymm

I think it’s 3 seasons so he should be ok

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Damn, when Pete Rozelle said that the Raiders are a cancer on the NFL, I didn’t know he meant literally.

I’m enjoying Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I am particularly enjoying Nurse Chapel.

I’ll be checking it out when I get Paramount+. I’ve heard good things.

TOS Nurse Chapel: Capable assistant to Dr. McCoy.
Reboot Nurse Chapel: Left medical field after run in with Kirk 2.0.
SNW Nurse Chapel: (quick check of TV Tropes and Memory Alpha): More assertive nurse.

I know its a Star Wars thing, but I when they said that throw away comment about Chapel in Into Darkness, I said “I gotta bad feeling about this.” Okay, that was about fifth or sixth time I said that in that movie, but that time I meant it. Again.

Does she work with Doctor Synagogue?

Book Rec Time-

“Where The Bodies Are Buried” by Christopher Brookmyre. It’s a crime/mystery thingy taking place in Scotland and the dialogue between cops/cops and criminals/cops pops and crackles off the page-and that’s just the start. There’s detailed backstories, inter-departmental shenanagans and two slow-burning narratives that you know will intersect but it’s not obvious off the hop.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I just finished Razzmattaz. It was fun. I’m currently reading the Dying Earth books – it’s pretty neat stuff.

“Where The Bodies Are Buried”

Is this a cry for help, an autobiography or fiction for scotchy?

How’s everyone doing in their Hockey pool? With The Ice Argos’ Samsonov shitting the bed, and out until their next homestand, and the Ice Broncos’ Evan Rodrigues getting a concussion, I took a massive blow yesterday.

Wakezilla

Good evening, folks. So what’s with ultra conservative Americans wanting a Civil War? I know they haven’t thought this through, but, have they put a single thought to how catastrophic that would be and the war would be long and gruelling? Fuck

scotchnaut

No, they haven’t. They haven’t thought about the long term ramifications of any of their thoughts. That’s why they’re wingnuts.

Thinking is a gateway drug to being woke.

They don’t REALLY want one. Is just their victim complex yammering out loud.
