Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your 2022 Marble League Rolldown Breakdown

Senor Weaselo - December 28, 2022December 28, 2022

Well, the torch has gone out over The Pond in Draklin, and we have our new champions, and boy, are they not who you would have expected if I told you in the summer! Let's go through all 32 teams, both Marble League proper and Showdown squads, and give thoughts,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Holiday Rush

Senor Weaselo - December 21, 2022December 21, 2022

It's that pre-Christmas rush, or as musicians know it, time to play the same things we play every goddamn year. Okay, that's a slight mistake. I haven't had anyone ask me to play The Nutcracker this year. Part of that might actually be a soft boycott on Tchaikovsky, due to goings-on

Primus inter pares, or, Eulogizing Grandpa Weaselo

Senor Weaselo - December 7, 2022December 7, 2022

Good evening. Due to recent personal events, in lieu of our usual frivolity, we bring this piece. My grandfather (aka Grandpa Weaselo) passed away in his sleep early Thursday morning. He was 88. Also, I'd be remiss to not say I lovingly stole chunks of the biographical details from Hermana

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Hazard Pay

Senor Weaselo - November 30, 2022November 30, 2022

In that I don't get it for having TWO gigs last week outdoors, in November. I instead get to play in poorly-heated tents. I'm still sick. I'm pretty sure Wednesday and Thursday I had bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydmPh4MXT3g We can only hope that she's doing well. How did I

Ghost of Slave Labor, or, Your Japan World Cup Preview

Senor Weaselo - November 22, 2022November 22, 2022

Oh good, we're off to the races with a Ghost of Tsushima joke. Which, after hearing about the premise and reading the history, I can tell you with certainty after watching Senorita Weaselo play about 3 hours and then getting sidetracked with another game (twice), ends in the original definition

Okay, When Do We Get to the Prometheus Bit? (Jets at the Bye)

Senor Weaselo - November 20, 2022November 19, 2022

The New York Jets are a cromulent football team. That enough is a shock. The New York Jets are a competent football team. Bigger shock. The New York Jets are currently in a playoff position and enter this game a half-game behind Miami for the AFC East lead. All right, hold up…

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A (Shoehorned) World Cup Preview in Tunisia

Senor Weaselo - November 16, 2022November 16, 2022

(It was birthday week, and rehearsal Friday, concert Saturday, gig Sunday, gig Monday. At some point we will go back to our regularly scheduled musings and Marble League reviews. Like HOLY SHIT THE PINKIES ARE STILL IN 1ST THROUGH 6 EVENTS. The Pinkies. The Pauls of the Marble League. Also,

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: C Material

Senor Weaselo - November 9, 2022November 9, 2022

You know how sometimes you don't entirely know where you're going with things? Well, tonight's column is one of them. So let's get to some things and see where we go. First off: No, I did not win the Powerball. Second: Marble League Rolldown The stories so far: -The Streak is over! Team

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Your Marble League Rolldown 2022 Preview!

Senor Weaselo - November 2, 2022November 2, 2022

Yeah, I may still be dragging my feet on the Beaties, to the point that the BattleBots 2022 event (World Championship VII) has actually concluded filming! (Air date TBD) But it's also the time of year for the other non-human sport we follow, the Marble League! It's been a busy year

Wumbo Wednesday: TWIFY 2—Own Team Edition!

Senor Weaselo - October 26, 2022October 26, 2022

I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: This October in F*** You (ALCS Edition!)

Senor Weaselo - October 19, 2022October 19, 2022

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas. Considering it's their third ALCS meeting in the last six years (and fourth playoff meeting in the last eight), I guess you

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Previews and Last Reviews

Senor Weaselo - October 12, 2022October 12, 2022

Let's actually start with the latter. I was all set to do the Beaties this week (though that would apparently require time to think about and write the thang ding), but then BattleBots dropped this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0fgYlaack I'm not going to do a full play-by-play because you can just watch the thang ding—erhem,
