Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Weasel and the Spinning Wheel

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?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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%.
