YOUR 2024 AVN Awards Winners! (And Open Thread)

Last time, I presented to you the list of nominees along with my picks for the winners. It's time to find out how well I did. I don't want this post to be War and Peace long, so I'll simply recap my pick, announce the winner, and provide commentary and a

Ballsy’s Mock Draft for 2024

Do not worry. I am not treading on Horatio's turf. I do enough of that with my AVN Awards prediction post. You will get no insights into which player each team is picking beyond me telling you that the Commanders are getting yet another disappointing USC QB and the Steelers will

YOUR 2024 AVN Awards Nominees

Yes, it's that time of year again! My, how time flies! This year, the awards are being held at Resorts World in lovely Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, January 27 at 9 PM. You can buy tickets here. Tickets start at $168, which is amazing considering the face value of my ticket

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Dashing Through the Road…

So, as we mentioned last week, Christmas Eve, or Gigsmas. A time to play all the things. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you have multiple all the things to play, which is to say give your local church organist a hug and/or the beverage of their choice (okay, I got my

Wednesday Motivational: Xmas Music Special

Your Thursday “Asleep-At-the-Switch” Carpenter Thread

Ahoy-yoy!   I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

Requiem for the Bears — A 2023 Musical Season to Date Retrospective

The Bears Bye Week isn't until Week 13 this year, which seems almost cruel given how much Bearsenscheisse we've witnessed this season (both the self inflicted and cruel twists of injury fate kind). So why not recap the year to date in song. Maybe get in the right mood/cadence with

If y'all are not excited about the Women's World Cup, this year, I don't know what's wrong with you. Perhaps you should try some of Hippo's pills. I would have loved to have been there, but real life gets in the way and it's just not possible. I've been to
