ballsofsteelandfury - March 4, 2023February 28, 2023

Tonight's post category was suggested by RTD's comment last week requesting, "your 5 best non-major U.S. sports (i.e. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) memories." Thank you to all that provided suggestions and I will be incorporating those into future posts. As I mentioned in the first post, the plan is for this

Tonight's post category was suggested by BFC's comment last week in the inaugural donut post. Thank you to all that provided suggestions and I will be incorporating those into future posts. As I mentioned in the first post, the plan is for this to be an ongoing off-season series on Saturday

Another demoralizing loss for the team last week. Both sides went in with only two live bowlers, a pair on each of the teams having pre-bowled. Possibly something to do with Valentine’s Day. At least that was the case for our pair of harried married rollers. The thing about this

This post was actually inspired by BFC's Thursday Night Open Thread in which he professed his love for the maple bar. The plan is for this to be an ongoing off-season series on Saturday nights in which I present to you my five favourite somethings and then you comment and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Learning From The Masters

Sharkbait - February 10, 2023February 10, 2023

Happy hate week Friday! I don't have much hate in this space this week. That's because the local bar/restaurant near me decided to hold a cocktail making class on Monday of this week. Naturally, I signed Mrs. Sharkbait and I up for this awesome activity. The class itself was just 15

My 900th Post

ballsofsteelandfury - January 9, 2023January 8, 2023

I can't believe I've actually made it to 900! That's something Houston cannot say. I've thought long and hard about what to put into this post and I've decided I've got nothing. I thought about doing a post talking about the past and my favourite posts but I'm not really

Now where were we? Oh yes K Stew and I were just about to… According to locals the temperature of the water can reach up to 118 degrees in the summer. Some go as far to say that the heavy salt

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

The Lady of the Sea of Sin: Part 7

ballsofsteelandfury - June 22, 2022June 11, 2022

At 2:55 on the dot, I walked out of the room and headed towards the pool. I like to be right on time. Not early. Not late. Right on time. If I show up exactly as Mickey's hand hits the right spot, even better. I'd called the

Editor’s Note: Please click here for Part 1, here for Part 2, here for Part 3, here for Part 4, and here for Part 5. In my line of work, you see a lot of crazy things. You also see a lot of ugly things. Nothing had prepared me for what I saw next. The cabana,

DOOR FLIES 30PEN: Senor Weaselo’s 30 for 30 Playlist

Senor Weaselo - June 10, 2022June 10, 2022

Back in mid-November I briefly hijacked the Sexy Friday post because it was my birthday, and a monumental one at that since it was my 30th. (It was also The Maestro's 29th birthday, which means if he hasn't done this by the end of the offseason he knows when his
