I promise I did not crash again, either in the Snowmageddonpocalypse that didn’t drop any snow on the city (just north, like the snow game we saw in Foxboro) or the intense winds last night. No, this is to make fun of my…
pottery skills! Or lack thereof, since I had never done this before, but Senorita Weaselo’s sister invited us so screw it, I’m in.
First off, there are no pictures of how I did because no, we were not allowed to keep thing we made, which they said was for the best because then you try to be perfect and not get your hands in there and attempt to make anything. But, what did I learn?
- Lefties end up having to do things backwards, AS USUAL. (You have to set the wheel to spin the other way.) This is also why you get things like “use your dominant/non-dominant hand.” IT’S ALL OUR FAULT.
- I was decent at coning up and down, which is what you use to center the clay. I was less good at actually shaping and drawing out the clay because eventually my thumb would get in the way and rip a chunk out. Multiple times.
- I failed out of spy school because the thing you use to take the piece off the wheel is, I shit you not, a garrote. And I was always off by a centimeter or so, which actually fucked up the closest thing I had to an acceptable-ish bowl when I tried to scrape it off… and took the bottom off.
Okay, that’s the things. Onto the news.
QAARON WATQH: Or more likely, not watch, as Aaron Rodgers’s segment on The Pat McAfee Show has been cut for the remainder of the season (which, granted, would just have been until after the Owl). I have to say, that’s a shock, seeing an interviewed guest get flak for *checks notes* insinuating a major employee on the same family of networks, which is owned by Disney, still probably not in a good mood of Steamboat Willie hitting public domain, was on the Epstein list and flight logs. And not apologizing for it, and flirting with a libel suit. (Actually, McAfee sounds pretty done with his shit.)
Hoodie Watch: No news.
Wink Watch: Still no official news though reports are saying that Giants DC Wink Martindale will resign.
First Picking Team Updates: Eberflus stays, but OC Luke Getsy is gone in Chi****.
Charmslinger News: No call made yet, but they say they’re open to having him back. I’m pretty sure that’s a contingency plan.
Pete Carroll out for the Seahawks, but will remain in an advisor role. (So, they kicked him upstairs.)
THE SHIELD IS ETERNAL: Viewership was up 7% this season to an average of 17.9M viewers. This is tied for second highest (1st: 2015, 18.1M). Monday Night Football averaged 17.36M viewers, its highest since 2000. CBS upped its numbers, as did the Thursday Night and Sunday Night games. Fox actually had a slight drop of 2%.

No we got nothing in common
No we can’t talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down
I had to do a search to find out you didn’t reference Breakfast as Tiffany’s, because obviously that wasn’t relevant, before I remembered Steely Dan is a thing and had an actual song about the number nineteen in a totally not awkward and inappropriate way.
Thank you for your service.
This is delightful.

Recipe for “Marine Breakfast”
(Serves eight or two hungry Marines)
½ pound ground beef (ground chuck for flavor)
1-tablespoon bacon fat (lard/Crisco or butter)
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk (add more milk if you want it thinner)
1/8-teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
8 slices of dry toast
Using a large skillet (12-14 inches), crumb1e and brown the ground beef with fat and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Mix in the flour until all of the meat is covered, using all of the flour. Replace the skillet on the heat and stir in the milk. Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (boil a minimum of one minute).
Serve over the toast. Salt and pepper to taste.
Ah, shit on a shingle
This recipe is vastly different than the traditional creamed chipped beef on toast, which in the US Army/Air Force/ Space Force(?) is known as “S.O.S.” (Shit On a Shingle), and in the US Navy is known as “creamed foreskins.”
“Marine Breakfast” is like southern gravy on biscuits and is actually really good.
(Bacon fat is the secret)
Vastly might be overstating the difference. The beef is cut differently sure, but it’s made the same way.
“Vastly” is the correct word, sailor. Chipped beef and ground chuck are two “vastly” different products from the slaughterhouse.
But it’s still brown goopy stuff on a square carb. Although both are a sandwich
Simmer down, Maestro!

Every model train-wreck scene from The Addams Family TV show (1964-66).
They use the exact same model train-wreck footage in each episode, which is even funnier.

There are a bunch of delays and cancelations from the MAX grounding, but I don’t actually care if I get to Chicago and back (return flight will be during the winter weather so this trip falls under 2 waivers) so I can sit back and hope I get some travel credit out of this whole mess. Also entertained by the drunk people who can’t get to LA. Dudette, at this point just take the refund and hop on a bus, you’ll get there quicker
Typical Ohio Winter Weather Forecast (Artistic Interpretation):
Ten Days Before: “We’re looking into a weather event next week. Still too early to tell, but the models are suggesting it could be significant.”
Seven Days Before: “This is going to be something big, we don’t know how much, but once the weather reaches California and we get data, we’ll know for certain.”
Three Days Before: “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are looking at our next big event. Snow, ice, wind. Better prepare to be snowed in for a week at least with no power.”
Night Before: “MAKE YOUR PEACE WITH GOD! AS GOD SMITED THE OLD WORLD WITH WATER, SO SHALL HE SMITE THE NEW WORLD WITH WATER FROZEN INTO CRYSTALS TO PURIFY THE LAND FROM THE WICKED AND CORRUPT!”
Morning Of: “Might see a light flurry or two, but it shouldn’t stick the roads.”
They do the same in CT. It’s all click bait these days.
Of course if they take a more moderate approach and big storm develops they get a rash of shit for that, too.

Hookworms must love this guy.
I have a horrible feeling that Dallas is going to find a way to lose to Green Bay on Sunday, but the silver lining to the particular dark cloud is it would probably mean the end of McCarthy.
The real question is what will their last play be? I’m predicting an intentional safety when they are down one and attempting an onside safety punt.
It’d be the rare occasion I’d be rooting for dallas, so i imagine Dak will throw a pick six on purpose and then flash the double birds shouting Fuck you brocky!”
YAAAAAH….HERE YA GO BROCKY!!!
Is there a way they could run out of time while doing it?

Conservative Debate Update:
Haley and DeSantis are trading body shots with the occasional passive broadside to Evil Florida Man. DeSantis still sounds like a stereotypically whiny preppy character in a sitcom or a Conservative Teddy Ruxpin (“How will you fix the economy?” (sounds of a tape being selected and inserted “In Florida,…”), but Haley seems more organic, more genuine and looks to be going into this debate with one goal: End DeSantis. Her opening statement was the de-truncated version of Vincent LaGuardia Gambini’s Opening Statement in the case of the State of Alabama v. Gambini & Rothenstine.
My Cousin Vinny – Everything That Guy Just Said Is Bullshit. (youtube.com)
To be fair, Haley is actually sounding like someone I would vote for in the before times. Its still way to early and she still has to deal with the other Florida Dingleberry, but if she can get a good 2nd place showing in Iowa and win in N.H., and get DeSantis to drop out, she may have a fighter’s chance.
Seems like a lot of effort to get wiped by 30 by the orange psycho who isn’t even there.
At the very least, it gets you established for ’28 when Trump crashes and burns. Before Reagan won in a landslide in ’80, he lost to Ford in the ’76 primaries.
Honestly, if you get him on a debate stage, you should hire a psychologist to tell you what words and triggers to say to get Trump to have a nervous breakdown on stage.
Mention his brother Fred Trump Jr. who drank himself to death.
Keep calling Fred “the good one, who did the right thing”
I’m imagining more of him suffering a debilitating stroke on stage, both removing the threat he offers to democracy and displaying his impotence for the world to see
Is it wrong that I find this erotic?
Can’t be. How could something that feels right, be wrong?
I don’t know, my suspicion is that if Trump loses in ’24 (Inshallah), the ’28 GOP nominee will be some relative newcomer who hasn’t had to do all the tap-dancing around “was the election stolen” and all that shit.
Yes, traditionally the GOP goes “next man up,” but that wasn’t true in ’16 (sorry, Rick Santorum), and I suspect it won’t be true next time around. The GOP base is now very big on “hating the establishment.” They don’t like Mitch McConnell (and hey, I don’t either, but if you’re a conservative you should love him), they hate every Speaker after a couple of months if not sooner. Maybe if you’re just a House backbencher throwing bombs you can still claim to be an “outsider,” but anyone with real political power is going to get labelled a “career politician.”
The bigger problem than Trump, (and he’s a very big problem, maybe even more than 215 lbs of problems), is what comes after him. That rock got kicked over the fucking morons that came pouring out aren’t going back any time soon.
Which is why I’m against mandatory vaccinations. I’m vaccinated. If you and your dipshit friends want to get a potentially deadly respiratory disease, preferably in time to keep you from voting, well, God Bless America I guess.
If Trump doesn’t win the nomination and the GOP still loses, ’28 is going to be apeshit. MAGA will go full ’32 Germany on us.
If Trump wins the nomination and they lose, either the GOP will reset with an outsider or it will splinter into MAGA Far-Right and the traditional Center-Right and Mainstream-Right GOP. The two Speakers fights in ’23 has shown the GOP isn’t unified. If the MAGA costs them two Presidential fights, the fault lines will fracture.
At the college I went to, the biggest sports story during my attendance was that our sailing team won the conference championship by beating the sailing team from the U.S Naval Academy.
That’s good hustle.
Really hope a boarding party was involved.
NYU had a really good fencing team. Also, the football team was undefeated because it didn’t exist

I don’t know much about basketball strategy, but I do know you cannot leave the awkward looking white guy open at the top of the key and be surprised when he drains the ugliest looking 3 you’ve ever seen.
He’s out there for a reason, and his inside game isn’t it.
That or the long arcing threes. The kind where everyone on the court, bench, stands and sitting at home can fully go “Oh, yeah. That’s why that guy was just standing there doing nothing.” (swish)
Welp, they’re sure selling this as a positive. My Seahawks emails are all these:
They should show Richard Sherman’s reaction to that dipshit end zone pass over the ‘THANK YOU’ with a question mark after ‘YOU’
https://twitter.com/RSherman_25/status/1745262946589274201
Never like to see anyone taking the high road.
Praise in public, criticize in private.
Not the case here. Sherman has one less ring because of bad call, but he had a HOF career that was better than it would have been without Carrol.
Richard Sherman has always been one of the most media savvy players. Zero surprise that he got a commentator job and zero surprise that he’s being gracious here
It doesn’t matter because, I’m proud to say, I only get talking shows updates here where they’ve already been filtered and the joke exposed — BUT — I think someone needs to go hard at these dipshits who think their role in the world is to be a loophole and homogenizor for lunatic pricks to speak libel.
Oh the FoxNews “it’s just my opinion but also this is the only true true truth” bullshit was fine because politics is already dirty/messy and both sides and everyone knows every POS on cable news is not to ever be believed. Now we’ve got it in stupid sports that plays teams once a week and will go into literally any space now and our “heroes” are driving towards infowars and we’re gonna say, “Well MacAfee just hosts the show!”
This whole fucking mindset that everyone gets to somehow insulate themselves from any action by blocking, lying, and acting fucking ignorant the point is fucked. And, of course, it’s the “I only speak english and everyone shoukl too!” fuckwits who are the ones who never ‘understand’ the most basic agreement in principle.
I’m reading this as “we must hunt down and destroy Pat MacAfee” and I’m in.
He seems like the type of “muscle bro” who’d collapse in a ball and cry when the first punch got thrown.
Pat: “Hi, random person”
Me: “YEAH…HEREWEGO” punch punch punch stab punch cockslap
fine out? please to have edit?
Sorry, I tried to edit it for you and deleted like half of it.
In my defense I am very sober.
He strikes me as someone who starts fights only as long as AJ Hawk is within shouting distance.
Which honestly is not a bad strategy.
I’ve met him a couple times at WVU. He was pretty fucking weird, and not in the BRO-weird way. Like, most of the team left him alone. The informal joke was if one person in the locker room would go on a shooting spree, Pat Mac was probably be them.
The Whole World Yo Lefties Their Entire Lives: We hate you. Go die.
Lefties: It’s just so……HARD.
How airtight is Colorado’s contract with Deion – Nun tight, or Houston 500 tight?
[declines to offer another example upon the advice of counsel] – Brad Childress
Florida State should have hired him immediately after the ACC Championship Game. That’d have been the push to get in the playoff.
Bama is not hiring Deion. Not after how his first season of big time college football ended.
Oh, I’m not saying they’ll hire him. I’m saying he’ll be talking about them hiring him.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
I don’t have dominant and non-dominant hands. I have a passive-aggresive hand and a co-dependent hand
Mine just shake.
Damned gladhandling lawyers…
Wow, St. John’s did everything they could to throw that game but Providence kept throwing it back.
Karen Carpenter nods.
I’ll take it!
You are surely too young to remember this (likely not even alive) but my Wolven Sort and your Johnnie Cakes had an epic Flacco Eight showdown in 1985. Chris Mullin pissed Young Hippo off sommet fierce that afternoon…
Padre Weaselo spent his college days needling Mullin!
Well, at least until he was asked to no longer be a student at St. John’s. (Madre Weaselo at least got both Bachelor’s and Master’s there.)
Someone resurrect Mike Leach for Bama head coach.
Lane Kiffin has already put his name on the desk.
He’s already got the outfits!
That sketch makes me laugh so damned hard. I think the only sports-related thing I’ve ever found funnier is Will Ferrell’s version of Harry Carey.

My first job out of college was here, and I started there as a C developer in 1987. I’m still in touch with people that I worked with 35+ years ago. We lost to AOL because it was treated as a cash cow when every dollar and then some should have been put back in the company. I just found out today that they put up a historical marker there.
Marker text: “The world headquarters of CompuServe was located on the six-acre site at 5000 Arlington Centre Boulevard from 1973 to 2009. Incorporated in 1969, Compu-Serve Corporation (later CompuServe Inc.) was the first major online information services provider. Its subscribers were the first to have access to email, online newspapers and magazines, the ability to share and download files, and a variety of popular chat forums. One especially successful CompuServe innovation was the GIF graphics format. Increasing competition and a succession of corporate owners pressed CompuServe into the fate of many tech start-ups and it ran its course. It did, however, introduce millions of people to online connectivity, social networking, and laid the foundation for the widespread use of the internet.”
The founder, Jeff Wilkins, is on the left, and that POS Lt. Gov. John Husted is on the right.
“Wilkins . I can has edit function pleez?
‘Tis I, The Edit Genie!
So you’re saying the whole gif/jif thing is your fault?
“Pronounce it however you want, as long as you put marshmallow fluff on the other side, you and I are gonna get along just fine.” – Eli Manning
The author/developer, Steve Wilhite, insisted that it was jif like the peanut butter. Nobody who worked there ever called it hard-G gif. Unfortunately, Steve screwed it up a little bit because the LZW compression algorithm it used was patented, and we had to jump through some hoops involving $$$ to settle that. .PNG is just GIF with a public domain compression algorithm replacing LZW.
One Compuserve vs. AOL story. This was back when 28.8K modems were standard and JPG wasn’t really a thing yet. A bunch of us went to a meeting, in that very room pictured above, where a marketing guy was showing us AOL’s latest client. Marketing guy is running this thing on a modem, not our internal network, and clicks on a news article. *BAM* this picture with the article just appears. AOL’s .art format could compress an image until hell wouldn’t have it. It’d look like shit, but everything looked like shit back then. Marketing guy didn’t realize what he was seeing, but a bunch of us developers were all, “How the hell did they do that!” We never really caught up to that until JPG took off. Embarrassing.
what was the CompuServe chat equivalent of a/s/l??
a/s/l I think. I used bitnet chat (met my wife online on it like a good little nerd), but Compuserve’s CB Simulator (it’s chat system) never caught my attention. Before I worked there it was $6/hr for a 300 baud connection. I would jump on there, get the shit I wanted, and get out.
I love Weaselo’s names.
That Run teh Jewels nomenclature is some righteous work! Also, better a chunk off the clay than a chunk off the thumb, ah sez.
