Everton have been playing dreadful footy since the calendar flipped to 2024, but hey - at least I caught wind of another beautiful woman (Giulia Bould, of BBC Merseyside) who shares my Toffees life sentence. At least we've built ample character these last few years! And thank Mother of Fuck, we

Ja, Lebowski. Hippo believes in nuh-shing! There really ain't much going on for the hoopsball non-watcher. I continue to read avidly and pine for the sweet FITBAW smell of autumn. Looking forward to Draft weekend, as the Donks just swirl deeper down the terlet bowl. Even though I know fuck shit (see the

Marching On With Lesser Footy
February’s Last Saturday – Open Thread
There is footy, though no early-birder. But a reasonably full day, given that the schedule gets fuckety for the Cursed Caribou Cup tomorrow (hopefully Chelski will be ROCKIN' for a certain dog supporter). Four in the 10:00 window, with USA showing Villa against the Robins Hood. One never knows what to
Title Battle Begins In Earnest – Lesser Footy Saturday
You get the contenders 1-2-3 (in increasing order of likelihood to succeed, in Hippo's view), all on USA/NBC. The filthy Redshite play Praise Beesus early (7:30, USA), with the unsettled Ivan Toney hopefully doing humanity in the good. He's in the shop window for the summer, no doubt. Surely he'd prefer the

Your “How the Hell Is it Mardi Gras?” Open Night Chatty-Chat
Seriously. T-Swift can'y even stand yet after post-Owl celebrations her and Travis have been doing, and it's friggin' Lent tomorrow. On Valentine's Day! Anyway, it's Mardi Gras tonight, so NAWLINS had to have been weirder than normal this past weekend/week. I'm grew up Catholic, and now generously describe myself as "lapsed" at
