2020 Banner Madness: The End is Near

DFOing Good

Senor Weaselo - March 19, 2020March 18, 2020

After today, the Ice Milk Eight, the Penultimate Four, and the championship which doesn't get a fancy name. When we last left the SHAN'KHOR Region we realized the world was going to hell and to hunker down at the Winchester for a nice cold pint until this all blew over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6htT-aVJup4 Which'll be

2020 Banner Madness: And Space Madness

Senor Weaselo - March 18, 2020March 18, 2020

The latter will come on stronger as we're cooped up, don't worry. Meanwhile speaking of madness, here's the BOLTMAN Regional Semis. First, the secon round results. 2. “These goal posts are taking it like an NFL girlfriend lately.” beats 48. “Maryland channeling their inner older, more mature Jesus by not going crazy

2020 Banner Madness: Salty 16, Day 2

Senor Weaselo - March 17, 2020March 16, 2020

Sorry, running low on cleverness for the title. We are closer to the end than the beginning though, if that means anything to you. Also expect a Senor in the City sometime in the next week or so as we take a look at the freelance side of things. Yes,

Banner Madness 2020: Salty 16, Day 1

Senor Weaselo - March 16, 2020March 15, 2020

Arguably the best-named round we came up with. Alternately, arguably the worst. Personally "Penultimate Four" is still my favorite. It's also the What the Hell are Regional Semifinals! As things go we start it with the top left of the bracket and the GAMBLOR Regional. Which I should finish filling in

2020 Banner Madness: The Only Game in Town

Senor Weaselo - March 13, 2020March 12, 2020

Well, we did not expect that one on March 1st. For one that implies that we thought the NCAA would do the right thing. Ever. But everything is cancelled like it's the motherfuckin' Space Olympics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TICjEsvC8o (The Earth Olympics are also pending.) Also this is the last day of the second round. After

Banner Madness 2020: Not Dead Edition

Senor Weaselo - March 12, 2020March 11, 2020

Alternately, still dead edition. Because yesterday was a shit hit the fan day. The New York public college systems suspended class, the NBA is on hiatus—TOM HANKS. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE TOM HANKS FROM US, CORONAVIRUS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THAT MAN OUGHT TO BE ETERNAL. But anyway, today covers

Banner Madness 2020: II-2 (Second Round, Day 2)

Senor Weaselo - March 11, 2020March 11, 2020

The BLEERGH Regional had some drama. I mean a serious chunk of drama. How so? Well, let's check below. 29. “THIS GUY TUUKKA RASK, I CALL HIM AN IUD BECAUSE NOBODY IS SCORING WHILE HE’S IN POSITION!” beats 31. “My lifelong dream is to become a kept man.” 18-17. 60. “The way the Jets

2020 Banner Madness: It’s the Second Round!

Senor Weaselo - March 10, 2020March 9, 2020

Hey, it's the thing the title said! Yeah, one round done and the nice thing is that it's not mid-March and it hasn't been a slog and we can hammer out the second round in four days and be at our Salty 16 while we're still wondering why the First

2020 Banner Madness, End of 1st Round

Senor Weaselo - March 8, 2020March 7, 2020

That's a nice thing to see, that we've separated the wheat from the other wheat (I'm pretty sure nothing that makes the banner is chaff, or else it wouldn't have made it in the first place) and can finish off a round. And that's always exciting, right? Plus personally I've

2020 Banner Madness, Day 7

Senor Weaselo - March 7, 2020March 6, 2020

Two days left in the round, and we can spend time debating the spelling of SHAN'KHOR while we're at it. It's the SHAN'KHOR Regional, that's why! (All I know is this is the original spelling from the ancient runes and thus the one used.) Now if someone could tell be

2020 Banner Madness, Day 6

Senor Weaselo - March 6, 2020March 5, 2020

Or, the bottom half of the BOLTMAN Regional. I don't know what else to say, but let's see what I have to do with the word count first. 15. "11 days to make it just one round—what are we, Sarah Huckabee Sanders' belt?!" vs. 24. "French construction workers will always do

2020 Banner Madness, Day 5

Senor Weaselo - March 5, 2020March 4, 2020

OOOOOOOHHHH YEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHH, it's time for the BOLTMAN Regional. *femur drums fly open* Incidentally I know exactly one of the banners' authors beforehand, and naturally that one (mine) got fucking trounced. Well played, whoever wrote the other one. I can cross-reference, but it's late and I don't want to, and even if I
