Teh Hippo is off on a well-deserved break as the EPL wrapped things up last week with Man City getting their fourth Premiership in a row. Anyone that doesn't think Pep Guardiola is the greatest coach of this generation is an idiot. Anyhow, before we get into how we did with

In lieu of actual prose, here's some randomness to waste time while waiting for DJ 3000 to reload munitions from last night's operations the playlist. I semi-successfully managed to get through my first week as a 9-1-1 operator without causing any serious harm. So, that's a plus. Somehow I've managed to

Teh Hippo asked me to fill in this weekend as he is driving to the Great White North. Considering he's from North Carolina, that could just as well be Virginia. Anyhow, I've got some things on my mind after this week's Champions League Quarterfinals Second Legs: Real - Man City should

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

I like to check back at the end of the EPL season to see how well we did at predicting stuff. Call it an accountability thing or call it a competitive thing. Either way, here is a handy dandy table showing the final results plus how we predicted them: ACTUALHippo LitreBallsMan

Finally, mercifully, we’ve almost reached the end. Only a couple more greasy gutters into which we must dip our collective fingers. Week 25 is upon us and according to the league webpage this will be the last night of regular play and then there will be some sort of “roll-off”

Yes, get ready for the traffic to start rolling in. It's that time of year again! For the first time since COVID, the AVN Awards will be held live in Las Vegas on the first weekend in January. Talk about bringing in the new year with a bang! I'm sorry.

The skies are angry today, my friends. And whoever is setting the thermostat is a cruel bitch. -12C (10F) was the high today and snow has been falling by the trouserload. It’s coming down so hard on me I feel like that poop cam I left in the Arby’s lavatory. The

We played the babes of the bowling alley last Tuesday night. Usually they bowl in pyjamas. Tonight was a normal clothing affair, though. Mid twenties i would say, all of them. The rigours of age had yet to wear them down to the craggy, hump-backed crones that typically inhabit the

I may be a Secret Southerner. I was thinking about this the other day as I was drinking Dr. Pepper, eating Mac and Cheese, and watching SEC football. Honestly y'all, it scared me. Holy shit, I just realized I say "Y'all" all the time! I believe it all started way back when I was

If you can’t out-bowl ‘em, out-drink ‘em. That was the motto of my first bowling league, which I will describe in the absence of a league night recap. I was placed on the DL last week due to a non-bowling injury (illness). Rumour was it would have been a healthy

God bless the Duke of Argyll! If the youth of today aren’t the most annoying creatures on the planet I’ll eat my finest Sunday derby. Condor-sized prairie mosquitos and door-knocking donation guilt-trippers have nothing on these grating simpletons. I went to one of those Halloween corn maze dealies with the
