Which is to say it’s gray and rainy out while students are taking a mock final in today’s TAing class, so I’m just in the back of the room doing nothing. Right now they’re doing a 12-bar blues to notate chords for, and modes. They actually need to know how to use locrian!
The good news is, semester’s almost over, I can start getting into the part where I’m gigging almost every day. (Except Friday nights and Saturdays.) My music studio students, incidentally, don’t enjoy this as much as I stack makeups on top of makeups as my life is a neverending game of legally-not-Jenga, especially because most of these weddings seem to be Tuesdays and Thursdays, days I’m scheduled to teach. (Like tomorrow Thursday, next Tuesday, and the Tuesday after.)
In other news, Rob Manfred is a disgrace, for reasons we already knew, but also could use a reminder of from yesterday’s fuckery. It’s some bullshit.
In NFL news… it’s just schedule preview stuff (like the Chiefs and Cowboys on Thanksgiving which I guess becomes this generation’s Thanksgiving Cosplay Special because the ‘Dacteds rightfully ‘dacted), because it comes out tonight! This deserves a (full?) hour on ESPN2, because fuck the actual sporting events that are going on, time for talking head bullshit! A whole lot of it, for the next several days, trying to figure out how your team will do! (Also who drops the best video.)
What’s on?
As previously mentioned, the NFL Schedule release show! (8:00, ESPN2) You already knew who your team was playing next year once the standings were finalized, but now who plays when and where!
Actual sports on the telly!
The Stanley Cup is still the best trophy in sports:
Panther Punching Party vs. Seeing how this game will affect the Leafs’ Cup chances (FLA vs. TOR, series tied 2-2) (7:00, ESPN)
Natural Logs vs. Knights Into Dreams of Next Year if they lose again (EDM vs. VGK, Oilers lead 3-1) (9:30, ESPN)
Basketball’s interesting now, maybe? At least the East? The Thunder are really good…
The Power of Friendship™ plus also the Pope vs. Feeling really bad about Jayson Tatum, because shit, Achilles for basketball, kind of important (NYK vs. BOS, Knicks lead 3-1) (7:00, TNT)
Holding out for a hero (Steph) vs. Raised by Wolves (GSW vs. MIN, Timberwolves lead 3-1) (9:30, TNT)
To the extent of lesser footy we care:
Which is none unless you care about a *checks notes* Missouri Derby.
(#BFIMLS SC vs. Sporting Kansas City, 8:45, FS1)
So as I said, none. Nobody cares.
Well there is SexiMexi futból, but it’s on Fox Deportes, which we may or may not have on your normal watching apparatus. Which is worth more of your care. Hell, the ESPN2 schedule show I just panned is worth more of your care.
Get to the mocking, while it’s still legal!
Fucking jet lag. I managed to get to sleep at a normal hour but woke up at 1 a.m. and there is zero chance I’ll be getting back to sleep tonight. And I’m not sure I’ll be able/allowed to nap through the vacuuming this afternoon.
I do approve of the amount of free helicopter coke we’ve been getting these Playoffs.
Man I really want to print out like 50 of these as stickers and just go around the city and throw them on light poles & the the rear side of Stop signs
That would be Rocking
FREE HOCKEY!!!
The Oily Boys advance!
Started the journey home at 6 a.m. London time, landed at 2 p.m. LA time, arrived on my doorstep at 5 p.m. Crosstown traffic was as bad as I’ve ever seen it in my life.
WHY ISN’T MY JETSETTING LIFESTYLE MOAR EASIER?????
Pretty much. You’d think the ride home we got in a Mercedes sedan (not joking) would have been more comfortable but Google sent him (and everybody fucking else in the city) down side streets so it was a pretty bumpy ride.
The world’s most Canadian board game:

So . . . This low-hanging fruit joke gets 7 likes (so far) yet the fucking amazing videos I posted below all have a total of ZERO likes. WTF?
Last week I posted explicit instructions that ALL my posts are to be liked by everyone. I believe I was very clear. That post got 14 likes, so I know you all can read English, yet my instructions were not carried out.
This Sunday, Balls, DJ TAJ, and myself will be meeting to workshop a project that we want to do together. Presumably it would be a creative project for this site, but I’m thinking of proposing that the three of us split up and travel the land and kill all of you.
OR . . . You can get down there and watch those videos and press the little + button and save your life. It’s not that hard folks. God Bless.

Settle down, Velvet. We all love you.
I don’t watch a lot of hockey so maybe this is well-ploughed soil but these CBC announcers are complete shit.
Looks like the Celtics’ problem was that Tatum guy.
I am sure LeafNation is reacting reasonably. To the reddit machine!
Ah yes, the ol’ 8 on 5.
How does this Gluron relate to Achewood?
They’re both brilliant.

That worked!
Yeah this worked in the previous post so it was test. So it’s something with that particular series.
Let’s keep going, shall we?

Why is this not embedding???
WEIRD
A second video of that series wouldn’t embed either. Might be a YouTube thing.
I HAVEN’T SEEN A COLLAPSE THIS BAD SINCE ALL THE OTHER LEAFS COLLAPSES OVER ALL THE OTHER YEARS.
Oh my.
Chargers are always fun:
https://youtu.be/R6qi8BELUA0?si=RdXs-9m60sI2a6A9
Holy shit, they got the Steelers dead on!
9-8….
I think I’d enjoy it more if I played Minecraft but I’m already a pathetic loser.
After watching this, I can see why the Bengals half-assed it. If you can’t top this, why bother trying.
A Domi takes a penalty at the worst time. Nieitcheese’s Eternal Return has been proven yet again.
3-0 PANTEROS!!!!
/LOOK AT YOU, LEAFS COLLAPSE!
I know that as the one true Velvet Underground poster in a room full of Nickelback fans, my posts usually go way over your heads, particularly GTD. But I really think you should ALL watch this.
If you are stoned it will be even better. If you want to be cheered up I’ve got a slew of these for this evening.

Super Deflect! by Tor Defender! 2-0!
You should never beLEAF
You just became an honoUrary Canadian. Feelings on superflUoUs U’s?
I’m all foUr them!
Just found out my father can’t swallow food and has trouble drinking liquids. Might not be long now.
Damn, so sorry to hear that. I hope he’s as comfortable as he can be.
Ah shit. Sorry man.
Damn. It’ll be intravenous now until the end. I hope your dad is comfortable as things come to an end.
Oh, no.
Hang in there, Shirts. We’re here if needed.
All the best, man. Just be there for him. Be present.
You’ll both be glad you were there for him.
I’m so sorry Redshirt!
Sorry to hear that.
That is awful. All the best internet buddy.
sorry for you all
Ah man, I’m sorry to hear that. Hope it goes easy for him.
You are a great son, you’ve done everything you possibly could for him. I’m sure he knows that, I’m also sure your mom knows too. We here know how hard it’s been for you. Be kind to yourself, my darling dear.
Such a sad time. Be strong Sir, it is nature’s way, while so difficult to endure.
Man…
My friend, I can’t imagine what you are going through. Makes me think of what’s in my near future.
We may have been on separate sides but…
I LOVE YOU!
I know that there is Hippoese, but in my world there is Weaselo Speak
Everyone* knows that locrian mode was used in the bass line of Bjork’s “Army of Me”
*that just read the Wikipedia article

Me: [combs the internet looking for the most bastardly ways to dismiss an employee]
“Your raise directly correlates to the Leafs’ playoff results.”
Make it an inverse correlation and see how dedicated he or she really is.
most of these weddings seem to be Tuesdays and Thursdays, days I’m scheduled to teach.
wha? “My wedding’s on Tuesday. No, for real.”
I thought we were weird, getting married on a Friday.
You are.
My greatest failure as a parent?
Neither of my kids are interested in the Giants, Syracuse, the Senators, really, anything sports-wise. They’re just the worst thing that has ever come out of my balls.
Gonna skip the first part of my reply and go straight to “Chunky Syphilis-Riddled Discharge is my 2025 FFL team name”
Probably the cutest FF name THAT IS GOING TO FINISH IN 2ND PLACE OR LOWER!* next year.
*as you well know and I’ll remind everyone all the time, I won the league last year by going on a miraculous streak with three rookies in my lineup,
thereby proving it’s all luckexcept in this one circumstance.I think next year I’m going the ‘Habemus Papem’ for my team.
I could use some divine intervention.
Diddy’s team is Habemus Rapem
Keeping your kids from rooting for Syracuse is a fine accomplishment.
You should be proud.
Orangemen Bad
All NFL teams should be required to do this for their schedule releases
