Good evening. My name is Senor Weaselo, and as some of you know, I play a lot of Jewish events. Weddings, shows, other, you name it. Despite this, as the Lubovitch have found out in disbelief numerous times when they ask if I want to partake in various religious customs and

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

WCS - December 14, 2023December 14, 2023

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

ArmedandHammered - July 17, 2023July 17, 2023

Per Usual: Images and links are from Lexicanum So last week we started going over the Orkoids faction and the different types of Orks. Today we are going to go over what could be considered Ork society. Orks are constantly fighting, preparing to fight, or recovering from fights (or trying to

ballsofsteelandfury - June 14, 2023June 13, 2023

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

BattleBots Beat: Seven Fights for WC VII.

Senor Weaselo - June 1, 2023June 1, 2023

This is it. Eight bots, seven fights, three rounds of competition, and at the end, someone walks away with the Giant Nut for the first time in their career. Who will it be? Well, we have seven teams that everyone would be happy to see, and also Riptide, who at

Wumbo Wednesday: This is Scenery?

Senor Weaselo - May 31, 2023May 31, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=071cXxCNj5A So Monday/Tuesday was Manhattanhenge. For those of you new or unaware to New York customs, Manhattanhenge is the four days a year (two in late spring, two in early-ish summer), where the sunset aligns with the grid of Manhattan. It looks something… a-like a-this. One of the things I've always wanted

BattleBots Beat: The New Meta?

Senor Weaselo - May 25, 2023May 24, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! Let me first day that don't worry, we're not talking about the good Doktor's former employer, but the general metagame of combat robotics. How do we get there? Well, we'll show you over the course of the fights, duh. It's the last super-packed week, the last

BattleBots Beat: Now With Less Salt, We Hope

Senor Weaselo - May 18, 2023May 18, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we covered the right side of the round of 32, so it's only fair that next we get the left side. Then after that, two weeks to go—the round of 16, then the quarters, semis, and championship. And then we wait for

BattleBots Beat: …We’re Calling it May Madness Now?

Senor Weaselo - May 11, 2023May 11, 2023

I wish that were a joke, but no, that was from the Facebook page (Update: Or from Chris Rose's Twitter). First of all, it was filmed in October, so… I guess that should preclude the May-ness. Second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVxLXn4_34c Yes, I'm aware that this is probably a worse look. Anyways, let's fucking do this.
