Yinz already know I'm going through the "life transition," and whatever. I'll take my D- on this, and be happy not be exiled to Lowratio's outhouse for a fortnight. Between my work computer not having access to funny gifs, and my home computer is suddenly quite ill, on top of everything...

“How Many Times Do We Have To Teach You This Lesson, Old Man?” Or, Your 2024 New York Jets Preview

2023 PREDICTION: 10-7, no playoffs due to shitting the bed in Foxboro. REALITY: 7-10, no playoffs, but hey, they sent Hoodie off with a loss and got to keep their first, because… yeah… The New York Jets may or may not be a football team. Sure, at one time they were, culminating

25 Questions About….

This: Just so you know, this was being passed around in the Clubhouse and several DFOers had ... questions. I volunteered to write this up as a post and since multiple people were involved in the discussion, I'm going to include the person responsible for each question. Strap yourselves in. Phrasing. DFO has

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: I Already Posted the Stravinsky…

Otherwise more riots, woo! (I’ll save it for April because the premiere was in April.) Instead we have news, which isn’t riots. -Jets fans actually bought Mike Williams a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, and had it delivered to 1 Jets Drive. And it worked, considering he signed a one-year deal. (I’ll be

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

Party On…Forever!

Banner Image from Tenor Interior, a large apartment festooned with festive fall furnishings and frills. Beneath a hastily hoisted Happy Halloween sign there be a bevy of buzzing Barbies beating back beverages to blur their bashfulness. It's a Halloween party, for sure, but while the decor, costumes, and TikTok-inspired scarecuterie boards

Mostly Hinged Titans Preview (2023) and Week 1 (Woo Hoo!) Open Thread

First of all, happy LaboUr Day. I hope you have a totally, not-communist holiday experience, unlike those inopportune May Days over at Michael Flynn's. But there's a bit of class struggle thingy that merits consideration. This RBs are interchangeable narrative is... I hate it. It's a self-fulfilling capitalist market prophecy, of
