Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Start of Spring Break Edition

Which is to say, “Wait, shit, it’s 6:57 and I forgot to write anything. Carpentering it is!”

In fairness to me, I’ve been A) hopped up on the Ice Giants’ high point of the year, winning a goalie fight. (Matt Rempe could never) and spending the little bit of Holy Week free time I do have at Apartment Weaselo trying to finish Burnout Paradise (the video game, not the Broadway show that sounds like a live version of Taskmaster). I had to admittedly check where the last super jump ramp was and found out that I had found it before, I didn’t land it properly and/or it didn’t register and respawned me at the landing point where I thought it had counted it. Now onto the billboards, which there are maps of and the last 7 or so will be vehicular platforming puzzles. And the last crash intersections which are commonly known as “Come on, spawn a fucking bus for the multiplier.”

Plus, it’s baseball season and I’m over the moon about the Yankees not giving up runs. (3 whole runs today against Seattle? That’s unfortunate… because it equals their season total of runs given up in the first 5 games.)

There will be a Nocturnes Magazine at some point, possibly next week. It’s been a weird dice baseball season in terms of the dichotomy of offensive production, and we’ll talk about it when I have the time and energy to do so.

Big ups to BFC who (along with the bartender) helped me make it a two-beer lunch at Mudville, where I will probably come back at some point to see if the wings really are award-winning. Once again, it’s a good group we got here.

I have no idea if that’s word count, but there’s hockey, basketball, baseball, and mocking the Italians (calcio edition)!

We would have also accepted “The SecDef, edging to drone camera live feed.”

Ford’s CEO has this Chinese EV.

Why? Did he lose a bet?

Unsurprised

Kind of. The bet was “can we survive without assistance from China?”

Also seeing that rocket launch reminded me of one of my favorite jokes

🚀 💀 👻

Found a funny:

[lake]

DONALD TRUMP: tell me again about the ballroom, JD

JD VANCE: [standing behind him] it’s going to be a big, beautiful ballroom, sir, just tremendous

DT: [closes eyes]

JD: [points loaded gun at the back of Trump’s head]

[a single shot is heard as a murder of crows scatter into the sky]

The 2 door version. It’s tiny! You can park it anywhere!

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s actually kinda cute

Doktor Zymm

It’s super cheap too, one of the tiny cars meant for getting around the city

NotShogunButShogun

Fiat topolino is coming here. Very similar

Brick Meathook

That car would be totaled if it got in a collision with a bicycle.

Doktor Zymm

They come in a six pack so you can just pop open another one!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So this is kinda cool – I dropped a mention of Request Line in the r/nfl daily thread and someone who manages bands offered to put me on the guest list for these guys (at the Regent, which is a great venue in downtown LA).

Derek Carr is going to be so jealous!

First the NFL combine and now the LA music scene. DFO will be the new Hydra!

yeah right

The Regent is a great venue for music. Seen a couple of shows there.

Us space nerds finally getting some action…

Hard to describe the emotions at work today.

As one of the resident “olds” the launch today took me back to my childhood.

I watched the first moon landing on TV and every launch and every splash down was shown to us in our classrooms in school.

I got the same elation today.
It’s where you can’t stop thinking about the crew aboard the ship after riding the biggest fucking rocket in history into space.

Work just blew up today.

My work handles primarily the launch and the monitoring that goes into it and just the fact that here 50+ years later my job is involved with that is…

God speed Artemis. Do your job and get home safe.

I feel like I’m 8 years old again.

And the moon is beautiful tonight.

yeah right

For the record this is Major Matt Mason from 1965.

He’s got a place of prominence on my bookshelf to this day.

I had the GI Joe with the Mercury capsule

BugEyedBoo

One of my brothers had that too. I had a model Gemini capsule.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Fun Fact: mercury capsules are what RFK Jr. recommends as a circulatory calmative.

2Pack

You guys do great work.

yeah right

They do the best work.
So proud of them.

Doktor Zymm

It’s a pretty fantastic thing, must be quite a thrill to be so close to it 🙂

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Aren’t you usually hoping for that kind of work NOT to blow up?

Mr. Ayo

Middle of the 9th inning at the Mariners game and everyone around me gathered around my phone to watch the launch. I was shocked that so few knew it was happening. But everyone wanted to watch it happen. Incredible.

blaxabbath

Shame on you for not being on a walk just soaking it all in right now.

Sharkbait

Will need to check out Mudville in my next NYC trip

Sharkbait

Oh it’s that far downtown in Tribeca. It’s near 60 Hudson. One of the most secure buildings I’ve ever been in. Fun fact, that’s an OG telecom/datacenter building

ballsofsteelandfury

Friends,

We have collectively willed something into existence!!

May God have mercy on our souls!

JFC, I am hoping that is an April Fool’s effort

Doktor Zymm

I assume it’s for the people who want the name brand without the name brand prices

Gumbygirl

Or who want genital warts!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Or who already have genital warts and figure it couldn’t get any worse!

Step 1 is their most senior employee uses their tongue to clean it real deep like

I feel like a cross between Edison and De Sade.

ballsofsteelandfury

I feel like Oppenheimer

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Probably from all the baja blast and other taco bell purchases

Doktor Zymm

Oh hey, Puka just checked himself into rehab to cover his ass while getting sued

SonOfSpam

It’s fine, everything’s fine. (I’m sitting at a table drinking coffee while the house goes up in flames around me; if only there was an image expressing this)

Gumbygirl

I know I had one that worked before, but since the Fuckening, images have been a crapshoot. Not that I was going to go look for it, lazy and high!

blaxabbath

Hell of a negotiation strategy entering the last year of your rookie contract while having the bone structure of a man that any suburban California woman juror will insist, ‘frightens my whole family.’

a president absolutely nobody likes. we blastin people to the moon. an oil crisis. bad inflation. israel fighting with neighbors. dodge stopped production of the challenger, ford recently produced an ugly ass version of the mustang

NotShogunButShogun

Mustang done been ugly for a while. Because you wanted a CUV looking piece of crap right?

I hate to say it, but a lot of the new Chinese electric cars are more interesting looking than the current batch of US cars. This one is kinda funky, but I sorta like it

Gumbygirl

It looks like a cartoon with those headlights. What was that movie, Cars?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You’re thinking of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

ballsofsteelandfury

That looks like a toy car

Doktor Zymm

I had the same thought, but it’s kinda cute that way. And it’s electric so it’s gonna make some sort of sound and I bet it’s kinda tinkly

I…do not care for that design.

You’re already lusting in your heart, so why not?

America’s Funnies Home Videos, because y’all are a bunch of sickos who think it’s hilarious to watch people get injured!

It’s basically Jackass for people who want to pretend they’re wholesome

I watch Wipeout. Going straight to the hard stuff.

My 7 year old is all into AFV. I like that it’s there. I dont think it is funny.

I’m here for the winnings speech

Yeah, about what I expected.

BREAKING: Cincinnati Bengals owner, Mike Brown, announces a massive trade, involving several other teams, to bring Maxx Crosby, TJ Watt, Will Anderson Jr., and Travis Hunter to the Bengals. Numerous draft picks will be involved, but, Cincinnati’s defense is suddenly vastly improved.

Yeah, April Fool’s..

Must’ve missed that on the transactions list.

Hey, you can make up your own award so any wings you want are award winning.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve never even made wings and I’ve given them an award

NotShogunButShogun

I’ve never listened to Wings, but I’m pretty sure they don’t deserve an award.

King Hippo

I’ve seen the old NBC sitcom Wings, and it deserves the Worst Sitcom of the Era When NBC Made Otherwise Decent Sitcoms.

litre_cola

I only follow the Dallas Wings in the WNBA. They definitely didn’t get any awards. (They finished last)

Don T

Always prepare an award speech, never wing it.

Redshirt

Eight seasons?!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

FIFA Best Wings award

NotShogunButShogun

They need to make a new Burnout the way we wanted in the first place. Paradise had so much potential. And a current SSX. But EA is stupid, so no.
