Boy, does a week ever go by fast and it’s frickin’ February of all months!
I’d like to give a shoutout to my neighbour who we will call Willy. (because that’s his name) Willy hasn’t had a regular job since the mine he was working at closed more than 35 years ago. What does he have? He has a working tractor from the late 70’s outfitted with a plow and he’s outside right now clearing 10+ centimeters of snow from our driveway and private road. I have a few stories to tell you about him but it’s a long summer and I think I have to do this every week so I’ll save them for the future.
-Steve Wilks was dumped as the 49’ers DC-writers explaining this are split. Those that want to curry favor are taking the team line that, “He just wasn’t a good fit”. Others that aren’t constrained are scribbling, “Kyle needed a scapegoat and Steve was right there.” So it goes…
-College Ball, Women’s Style: The slate tonight is longer than a Sunday sermon with ranked squadoos SC, Louisville, Gonzaga, SillyCuse and VT playing. Hey, as I type this the #7 Lady Wolven are blowing the balls, er, eggs out of ND 26-9.
-But the game that most will be watching is Michigan/Iowa because if Caitlin Clark can manage 9 points she defeats the final boss and becomes the all-time Lady Scorer. (I think that’s the title) She’s brought enormous attention to the sport and the attendance records set in arenas where she shows up bear that out.
-Men’s College Ball: #2 Purdue and their Gawky Canuck play Minnesota and for those on meth St. Mary’s tackles something called Pepperdine when all the productive people are asleep.
-NFL.com ranked all of the 66 starting QB’s that played this year. A certain Tommy Cutlets finished ahead of luminaries Tyson Bagent, Bryce Young, Truth Biscuit, Easton Stick and…Daniel Jones. Enjoy your last year with the team, Dimes.
-Obligatory NBA Update: I still can’t be bothered.
-The Senators are a blistering 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. What has that got them? They’re still the second-shittiest team in the Eastern Conference, four points behind Buffalo. The hole they dug compares favorably to the “Kola Well” near Murmansk, Russia which is 7 kms deep. They play the Ducks tonight.
Hit me with your best shot, fire away.
Is Zoolander a funny movie? I’ve never seen it. I’m 10 minutes into watching it and I’ve seen Donald Trump twice.
I hated it the first time I saw it. It grows on you.
Its a smart, stupid movie that borders on being a parody of the modeling industry.
Be patient, it is very funny.
Well, I watched it.
Well, its over. If you liked it, terrific. If you hated it, the healing can now begin. Just wash down the bad taste with a shot of Beerfest and the ending to Short Circuit 2 starting where Number Johnny Five starts his Roaring Rampage of Revenge and call me in a morning.
I did not enjoy Zoolander the first time I watched it.
The second time I laughed my ass off and then proceeded to rewatch it (no joke) 70-100 times more.
This song is just so damn good

Here’s two-and-half hours of immediate, medium, and longer term impacts of World War I. This is what I do with my limited free time.
What he doesn’t mention is that this is what gets royalty pregnant.
My grandfather fought in World War I. He was in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, and this was a British Army unit since Newfoundland was not yet a part of Canada.
He was with them at Gallipoli, and then they were moved to France. In late June of 1916, he contracted kidney nephritis in the trenches, a debilitating illness that he suffered from the rest of his life, and it was also considered a combat wound, so he received the equivalent of the Purple Heart.
He was evacuated and arrived in a hospital in London on June 1, 1916. That was the first day of the massive Battle of the Somme. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment spearheaded the attack that morning at the Battle of Beaumont Hamel, where they were all but wiped out.
I have all of his military records that I got from the National Archives in London.
That is humbling, scary, and upliftingly fascinating simultaneously.
I am reading The Handmaid’s Tale (my first foray back into the public library WOO), and guys…ah don’t think Margaret Atwood is on the TRUMP train smgdh
Read that my freshman year in college; it was fairly new WAY back then.
I was NAWT believing that could happen. And here we are.
I like it, LET’S GO KRAKEN!
Anyone else just kinda felt today was meh? I’m very much looking forward to this long weekend.
Yuuuuup
oh yes, but that is also 95% of all days until September returns.
Same here but we’ve been busy as shit.
I HAVE A 4 DAY WEEKEND!
Tomorrow I go for Dutch Pankoeks with the family then fly to Vancouver for the night!
BeerguyRob is picking me up for a 3 hour tour then he drops me off at Silversun Pickups at the best small venue in Canada!
/I too am excited.

Fuck and no. Been fighting the IRS all day so my company can efile all the 1099’s for our customers. We’ve done it every year for the last 15 years, but this year, all our access was removed. Turns out we have to submit a new application to continue to do what we’ve already been doing. And the turn around is 45 days, plus mailing delay. BUT, those filings are due by the end of March, so [shrug emoji]. Going to be filing an extension obviously.
Also, woke up this morning to our main email server updating itself with Microsoft’s latest security update and as a result it takes at least 2 minutes before any sent email is accepted before delivery causing everyone to freak all the fucking way out. I’M SLEEPING DAMMIT, YOUR EMAIL IS STILL BEING SENT, HAVE SOME FUCKING PATIENCE.
Anyway, now I’m in the middle of updating and reconfiguring the email system offline in the middle of my evening so everyone’s precious email works just that little bit faster tomorrow.
Evening, folks.

Mrs. Cola and I have watched many a season of Masterchef Australia. It is easily the most difficult in the world. We have watched 6 or 7 different countries version of it. The Australian is superb except it takes 61 episodes for a series.
It takes so long because literally every ingredient has to be collected in the wild, and literally every ingredient is actively trying to kill the chef. This is Australia, after all.
Except the wombat. The greatest animal. No one eats wombats.
Wombats are awesome
For some odd reason I subscribed to Harry’s shaving products a while back, maybe two years ago. I don’t know why, I think there was some other promotion involved. They sent me a handle, some shaving gel/foam, and a set of starter blades. Every six months a new box of blades and gel would arrive. I never used them once.
I had beard anyway. It wasn’t a very good one; it was gray, and it made me look like a hobo. I cut it off around New Years, and I used this awesome Braun electric shaver I bought. But I wanted to finish it off. So I finally broke out the Harry’s razor and the gel/foam.
Jesus Christ it was the greatest fucking shave I’ve ever had. It was amazing. The cartridges have five blades, and you don’t even feel anything, and the gel/foam must have deluxe skin conditioners because my face feels great. I feel very metrosexual.
I just shaved and my face is like a baby’s ass. Thank you for listening. God Bless.

Me to Tarasenko if Ottawa is selling at the deadline
Ottawa sportswriters are saying that he wants to stay but that might be wish-casting or whatever you call it-if he wants a big contract he’s not getting it there.
So I guess Caitlin Clark broke the record on like a 35 footer.
That’s pretty good!
THere was zero reason for her to shoot it there , except fuck you, watch this. Bang.
Respect.
Re5pect
Showing off like that? Is that any way to land a husband???
The record is also cursed.
That’s bad!
Steph Curry pre-upstaged her:

All those points and not even a single natty.
Maybe she should spend some time practicing defense.
GLORREEE BOY probbly sleepy joe commy two TURMP NEVR LOSES
The “Logo Three” is kinda her thing.
The weather in LA today (currently a frigid 65° and some hazy clouds) makes it feel more like November than February.
-15 C here, but it breaks tomorrow!
Apparently that Truth Social merger got the green light from the SEC. Investors right now (artist’s conception):
