Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Yes, We Attend Concerts Too

Senor Weaselo - August 17, 2022August 17, 2022

Once again, a good evening. This is Wumbo Wednesday, and to answer everyone's questions from last week, or I guess originally my question… well, still nothing moved me, and it's admittedly tough knowing you won't be able to watch the majority of games due to spending Saturday mornings driving Senorita

BattleBots Beat: The Original Legend Killer

Senor Weaselo - August 11, 2022August 11, 2022

This is the BattleBots Season 3.0 heavyweight final, all the way back from the Comedy Central days. In one square, you had the two-time champion, BioHazard, believed by many even now to be one of the most dominant robots of all time. Its low profile and four-bar lifter controlled many

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Pitch Meetings

Senor Weaselo - August 10, 2022August 10, 2022

Evening, lizard people. For this week's Wumbo Wednesday we'll do things a little differently. Namely because I have robot fights to watch even if we all knew what happened if we paid attention. As this past Saturday morning Hippo thoughts alluded to, the Premier League is back. Now, for a variety

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1O_cR8WUYA Yes, yes, welcome to Wumbo Wednesday (image courtesy of Know Your Meme), and keep your applause until—well that ended quickly! Jerks. Anyway, I’m taking this vessel over as my own damn soapbox. What can I ramble about? I don’t know, then it wouldn’t be a ramble. Sometimes I may use this

DOOR FLIES 30PEN: Senor Weaselo’s 30 for 30 Playlist

Senor Weaselo - June 10, 2022June 10, 2022

Back in mid-November I briefly hijacked the Sexy Friday post because it was my birthday, and a monumental one at that since it was my 30th. (It was also The Maestro's 29th birthday, which means if he hasn't done this by the end of the offseason he knows when his

BattleBots Beat: Your 2021 Champion…

Senor Weaselo - April 14, 2022April 14, 2022

Eight bots remain. Some standbys, some surprises. The main surprises would be who's out, actually. With Tombstone and End Game both out of the tournament, and Paul Ventimiglia still holding out on behalf of better compensation for builders, we will have a first-time champion. So, let's get to the fights. 4.

BattleBots Beat: Guaranteed to Go Better than My March Bracket!

Senor Weaselo - March 24, 2022March 24, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! Thanks to last week, we don't have a 32, but a 34-bot bracket as they'll duke it out for the most sacred prize in robot combat, the Giant Nut. The big question: Can anyone prevent the title from going back to Auckland? Defending champs and

BattleBots Beat: And Then There Were 32… Or Were There?

Senor Weaselo - March 17, 2022March 17, 2022

BattleBots Beat: Bubble Something or Other (Also Your Thursday Evening Thread)

Senor Weaselo - March 10, 2022March 9, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat, now/once again with actually watching the fights! Hey, we got a BattleBots Update vote of confidence last week, so that counts for something. Anyway, I was going through my personal "win and in" bubble scenarios and it's pretty tight and I'm gonna have to reformat
