Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Senor’s Classical Corner, Part Zero

Good evening. Originally I was thinking of adding a new section to this column, the Classical Corner. Basically, it’s an attempt to put some CULTCHA in these posts, as the mention we have on the Kissing Suzy Kolber Wikipedia page does say high-minded vulgarity. So we can class it up a little. On occasion. I’ll probably start off with a shit-ton of violin rep, because I can, but as James Earl Jones passed earlier this week, I’d like to start off with a tribute to him. And also it’s 9/11 and I remember a post-9/11 concert that involved Paul Newman doing the narration for the below.

Anyway, here’s some Copland. RIP and thank you. And I’m sorry that they’re making a Mufasa prequel movie.

In other news:

Nah, there isn’t really news. A whole lot of speculation and hot takes, but not news.

Okay then, what’s on?

Pennant race action! (Yeah, it’s baseball.)
Hot NL East/Wild Card related action! Blowing a Wild Card lead to *checks notes* the Mets? That can’t be right! vs. Not relevant but no ill will (ATL vs. WSH, in progress, MLBN)
AL MVP race action! Witt vs. Judge (KC vs. NYY, 7:00, MLBN/Prime)
Rocking action between two teams who’ve never won it all! (SD vs. SEA, 9:40, FS1)

Women’s JV lesser footy (U20 WWC)
CONCACAF Darby Action! (Mexico vs. United States, 9:00, FS2)

Here’s to the rest of what is normally my weirdest day of work (because security and walk-arounds are a pain in the ass). And then I got pulled into a faculty meeting and heard the faint sound of bagpipes from the memorial around the block. Which admittedly might count as a circle of hell when in tandem, but listen, it’s nice to be included so I’ll be okay with it today.

Senor Weaselo
Senor Weaselo plays the violin. He tucks it right under his chin. When he isn't doing that, he enjoys watching his teams (Yankees, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers), trying to ingest enough capsaicin to make himself breathe fire (it hasn't happened yet), and scheming to acquire the Bryant Park zamboni.

🔱 Up!

THAT’S ROCKING!

On behalf of Rocking Dog and myself, that is not rocking. They were so close to taking out the Dodgers, isn’t that good?

Bogdanski

Padres that is

Mr. Ayo

Mariners or bust!

Looking into getting a ticket to the Old 97’s show in Hamden. Love how those web-sites that double the price on every ticket always seem to come up first. $92.14 my Irish ass, you fuckwad.

Laura Loomer and MTG slap fighting on Twitter. Yes. Yes.

Made some calls on behalf of the Harris campaign into Arizona tonight. Had one guy go OFF on me because he claims his family was victim to a home invasion by illegal immigrants, and it was somehow Kamala Harris’ fault. I wish I had thought to apologize to him that the wall Trump promised to build failed to protect them. Ah well, I’ll keep it in my pocket for next time.

‘Well sir, my home hasn’t been invaded by illegal immigrants, but I guess I’m just not a huge pussy. You have a good night, and don’t forget to vote November 8th.”

These losers are always such embarrassing pussies.

I don’t hit potholes, I hit tiny but sharp items that for some reason seem to litter the roads of California. I’ve had to replace 3 tires since I moved here!

The Ned Kelly shout-out was hilarious.

At my baby shower, (yes, my friends threw me one, it was all guys, it was in a pub, and it was in just as much poor taste gift-wise as you’re thinking), a bagpiper came in from playing a wedding up the street. Full regalia. We were several beers deep, called him over, told him it was a baby shower and he replied, with what I think was a genuine Scottish accent “Why laddie isn’t that wonderful!” and then, inside mind you, proceeded to play ‘Amazing Grace’ on the pipes while we sang drunkenly along.

We bought him a couple of beers, he left the bar and, (because the bar was below the street level but with windows showing the sidewalk), as he walked down the street he turned to the bar and lifted his kilt, showing us that, in fact, a true Scot wears nae beneath his kilt.

Way more fun than my wife’s shower. Buncha clothes and cake. Pfft!

I would like to hear MOAR re the backstory for why this rivalry is so intense. TEH FLOOR IS YINZ’s

WCS

We’re 70 miles away from each other, and have played each other more than anyone. That’s about all yinz need to know.

My mother has two brothers she basically raised. She had taken care of them their entire lives.

Neither has gone to see my father in over a month.

I told her they were selfish assholes.

Guess who got put on the “pay no mind list”?

This fucker.

SonOfSpam

It’s hard being right 100% of the time.

Believe me, I know.

blaxabbath

Why would a selfish asshole even hear your comment?

King Hippo

I have no solution for this, and I don’t think there’s an easy one to be found. Still, I hope the Coalition for the Enlightenment gives it a real go (Biden hasn’t been that good on Ukraine, either).

Solution for what?

In order to find a solution, you have to define the problem. The establishment prefers perpetual war because it keeps the armed forces ready, funded, and fuels technological advances.

Peace doesn’t pay.

Well X rated films are the only place an actor can truly Craft their character.

He’s credited as “James Earl Bones” on IMDB for that movie.

Will I understand ‘End of the Road’ if I’ve only seen ‘End of the Road’ parts 7, 11, 14, and 15?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Just read the novelization and you’ll be fine.
