Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: RAINPOCALYPSE ’23

If you hadn't heard, it rained last weekend in the city. And the entire East Coast. I guess Project Arcturus is finally up and running, though the Queensboro Bridge is still upright. (Nobody calls it by its current official name, the Ed Koch Bridge. You know who else wouldn't call

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Standard-Fare Chicanery

We now take you to "Senor Weaselo Makes Bad Fantasy Football Choices," already in progress. De'Von Achane was a great depth pickup for later on in the season and his projected "rest of season" points were higher than my previous RB. I just did not foresee that all of those points

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “This is a Woodlawn-bound 4 Train.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZdDyH9LLc Ah, yes, summer in the big city. The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The True Nadir

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: QAARON’S QAVE WATQH

Man, am I gonna look dumb if he makes a decision between now (it is 11:12 Eastern) and when this goes up. But anyway, the NFL world continues to wait on Aaron Rodgers, who's come out of his darkness retreat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojczn6rfvY RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James. and didn't specifically say anything about

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

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!

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!)

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

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,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Edge of History

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYhP9iZHss Whoever it was who liked my RNG goddesses Anna joke from way back when, here's another Fire Emblem joke. You're welcome. No, I said the edge of history, goddammit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBMdLj0bx8g No word on whether they steal the Declaration of Independence. …Not quite. Fuck it, start again. So last week you may have mentioned I un-errored
