Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Pre-Christmas Filler

Senor Weaselo

/

, ,

God, do I hate doing page layout for scores. Maestro can probably attest to that, and then argue that a jazz band is actually a sandwich. But seriously, figuring out spacing, then seeing your spacing is shit thanks to things above/below the staff, then re-spacing, then figuring out measures—actually that one’s gotten a bit easier. But that’s done for now. Time to go back to Newbury Comics and exchange the Death Note mug I got for Senorita Weaselo because when she opened it it had a crack on top, and then chillax on the couch and watch things!

But first, the news:

–Superb Owl LXI (that’s 61) in LA. As a reminder, moving forward is Vegas, Nawwwwlins, not-San Francisco, and then LA.

-More immediately, the NFL is looking to play a game in Brazil next year. I’m looking forward to the ghost of Pelé to shill for something. YOU KNOW HE WOULD.

-Amidst rumors that our long national nightmare is almost over, Grumblelord said… he’s “getting ready for Kansas City.” Well, that’s to be expected.

What’s on the telly?
Is ESPN seriously devoting a block of time to… the SEC schedule reveal? Aren’t there, like, bowl games going on?

Iceball
Not the True Name vs. Unnecessary Traffic on the Cross Island (BOS vs. NYI, 7:00, TNT)
Sword Bison vs. Yetis (BUF vs. COL, 10:00, TNT)

…That’s seriously it? Not even a great sports night! Ugh.

Someone did a statistical analysis of whether the Deshaun Watson signing was worth it for the Browns:

Well if you’re optimizing for the last column then he’s very high value.

Not really a statistical analysis, more of a bar chart, but yeah, about as expected

Did I really just see an ad for The Color Purple: The Musical? What the fuck? Next it will be Anne Frank.

The Color Purple is also a medical textbook published by Dr David Chao about the periods of NFL Girlrefs.

My daughter told me that the book was pretty grim. Definitely no singing.

Guessing this will be a peaty one

Doktor Zymm

Actually not super peaty, just a little sweet smoke. Really good, and I will have to pick up a bottle of it next time I’m in New Zealand since it doesn’t really seem to be sold much outside the country. Stupid insular islands.

2
Horatio Cornblower

“next time I’m in New Zealand”

As one does.

4
Senor Weaselo

She’s had one New Zealand trip, but what about second New Zealand trip?

2
Doktor Zymm

Actually first NZ trip was supposed to be Dec 2020, rescheduled for next Feb so I haven’t actually been yet! (Unless you count the Cook Islands which are self-governing but associated with NZ)

Nothing like flipping on ESPN and seeing a 30-30 on bigoted homophobe Reggie White, with contributing interviews from welfare-fraud criminal Brett Favre.

3
SonOfSpam

Reggie White gets a pass because he’s terrifying.

I’d kick the shit out of him.

Because he’s been dead for years, you see.

‘You’re The Worst’ does not get enough credit. One of the best shows ever.

Aya Cash as Gretchen. Not unattractive.

I saw him in an episode of Death In Paradise. It was weird because I just kept thinking of him as his character on You’re The Worst.

In case you’re interested, he became a flight attendant.

1
Horatio Cornblower

I think Cash is the only one who’s really kept going after that show, which is somewhat surprising.

Fun fact, the guy who played Boone, who she was banging, (and who’s wife she fingerbangs) (I’m not sure how I could sell a show any better), in S4, is the Maytag repairman in the TV commercials.

It is, and has always been, the “old generation” who is offended by things.

Yep, this is correct.

It’s a good thing I’ll never get old!

Me either. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go yell at some high school kids for being too loud in the gym.

As an Guy that took English Lit, I’ve no choice but to cheer for a team-the Iowa Western Reivers-that had the balls to name itself after one of Faulkner’s lesser-known works.

/It was smart choice and much better than The Fightin’ Light in August-ers for sure

1
ballsofsteelandfury

But did you take Comparative LIT?

SonOfSpam

Is there where you had to read two books and point at the better one?

Many guys can’t find it.

Horatio Cornblower

I think that was at the University of North Carolina, but too many of the athletes were failing it so they got rid of it.

SonOfSpam

I hated Light in August.

I think I had to read it in HS when I was maybe 16? Yeah, a 16 year old is gonna “get” Faulkner. Stupid assholes not realizing we were stupid assholes.

2
Horatio Cornblower

I remember reading that as an adult. I didn’t get it then either. There’s a paragraph towards the end that contains the phrase “light in August” and I figured, well, this must be the key to the book. Read that section over and over.

No fucking clue. None.

Finally eating my cup of Daebak Ghost Pepper Ramen. It’s spicy as I got some splashback in the eye, and I’m at a bit of a wall about two-thirds in as a result.

I wonder if it would have been better had it not also been 18 months or so expired.

2
Senor Weaselo

I say that, then I got my second wind, finished it, waited a minute, saw my aunt had finished the ice cream, silently screamed, and had a tall glass of milk. I’ll be okay.

My son was in one of those Outward Bound type schools for Troubled Youts, and some of his dumbass friends got into some seriously spicy hot sauce. Being teenage boys, they were beating off pretty much round the clock. You can imagine the rest.

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Uh, pretty sure I’d be breaking some kind of law if I started imagining that.

That’s why I didn’t type it. I’m already on plenty of lists, don’t need to add “registry”!

I hate job interviews. I hate live coding. I hate talking about projects I’ve worked on. I hate giving examples of times I did things.

I’m also not in a good mood since my favorite horse that I ride most of the time flipped out big time on Sunday and now he’s leaving for retraining because it’s too risky to put anyone on him now. This week just sucks.

Ah, Amy Jo Johnson. I never watched Power Rangers, but I had a serious crush on her in Felicity.

3
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

She’s also a singer-songwriter and used to play shows in some *tiny* venues around here in LA. I should have seen her play sometime. Oh, wait, not me. You.

1
Dunstan

Yeah, in fact I think part of the reason she left Felicity was that they weren’t letting her play music as much as she’d like, which I think she was promised originally.

That is a good thing, although in this case I think it’s more that things objectively suck and I’m also physically exhausted more than any sort of seasonal depression. But still, woo!

The Lakers play at San Antonio tonight against Victor Whybemylimbssolong or however you spell it. Then the Ice Rams host the Ice Blue Bombers so there’s that.

And the bowel games don’t start until Saturday, when we get SIX of them (not counting the Celebration Bowl no ofence) and that includes the LA Bowl where Gronk will sing the national anthem. I will be at attention.

5
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And the bowel games don’t start until Saturday

But don’t be surprised when they get pre-empted for Day 4 of the SEC schedule reveal!
