Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Senor’s Classical Corner: Requiem Rankings

Welcome to another/the first official I guess segment of Senor's Classical Corner, a segment inside of Wumbo Wednesday where I try to put some cultcha in this joint! And since I played the Mozart Requiem this past weekend, here's as good a time as any to talk about requiems and

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Throwback Sports I Found on YouTube Edition!

Which is to say… did you know SlamBall's on YouTube now? I remember watching it on Spike. Also, I remember Spike, and I'm allowed to go down a rambling memory hole because it's my birthday. (It's also resident sandwich artist The Maestro's birthday!) No, I am not about to do

Götterdammerung: Your Wednesday Night Postmortem Thread

Yeah, no Wumbo tonight. Barely a thread tonight. Who knows how long we have before we're shut down for *checks notes* Sexy Friday? Fortunately I got out of my gig early enough to avoid the news from last night's event, but tonight might not be fun. Just three of us, keep

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The One Where Everyone Else Shot the Lights Out

Except the Canadiens, because fuck 'em. Leprechaun Sox? Shot the lights out. Sharky? Decent, definitely above projected showing as opposed to my team missing the lights out. Even dice baseball expansion preseason last night! Brooklyn's lost 3 straight, but this one by the narrow margin of… 23-0. (7 in the 2nd

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Fun Violinist Stories!

So, unfortunately, Senorita Weaselo was sick this weekend, meaning we couldn't go see Gil Shaham play Mendelssohn with the Phil. Which sucks. Because he's fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQgjmMVqUPw Fun story! Actually two. Story 1: When I was a lad my youth orchestra went to go see him play I don't remember what. Anyway, we

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, It’s October!

You know what that means! No, fuck your spooky season, and quadruple-venti-fuck your PSL season. (Cider season is better anyway, comparing apples to pumpkins.) It's ALL THE SPORTS season! Football is in full swing, now it's the baseball playoffs, the NHL season starts in Czechia on Friday and in North America on

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Talk Amongst Your Friends Version

It's what I'll be doing! (BOOTS ON THE GROUND, DFO NOT-CON EDITION, WITH SOME HOT NOODS… it's ramen, remember that today's only Wednesday.) From that to news! Yeah, that's a segue. Regarding news from yesterday: Brett Favre with the Spacey Defense. Listen, I'm sorry that all those hits inevitably accelerated such a

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Classical Corner, Part 1

Welcome to a brand-new segment inside of Wumbo Wednesday, Classical Corner. As the violinist of the group I'm expected to be the one to class up the joint. Whether that's justified or not and I'd consider myself classy is beside the point, but like Lent, our Puritan brethren (as in,

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

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: We Made It!

Didn't think you'd be getting a VGCats reference, didja? Congratulations, everyone. We survived with limbs intact. A little after this time tomorrow there'll be football. Not with reserves, not with maybe-gonnas or never-will-bes, or UFL fodder. Actual football. Good quarterbacks! Good teams! In a stadium where the color green is technically

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Professorial Edition!

Which is to say, first day of classes, my class is actually running for the first time in two years, so it's a lot of "Wait, what am I doing, I forgot from orientation two years ago, does my card actually work in the adjunct office and can I print
