It’s Thursday Already? Carpenter Afternoon Hang-Out

Maybe it's just me, but the week immediately after the Superb Owl always tend to drag a little. There's almost a sense of dread, the looming off-season is now officially here, and the build-up for the game this week isn't there. If you're Jest or The Pauls fan, it's a

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: I Haven’t Eaten My Weight in Nian Gao, Year of Snek Edition

This is on account of me getting to Senorita Weaselo’s late last night, after dinner. So it was already divvied up and I just got part of her share. Which sucks because if left to my own devices I will eat a good amount of them, because it’s just glutinous

Dante Hicks Tribute Carpenter Jorb

Allegheny County 9-1-1, what's the address--- oh, so(u)rry. Force of habit and whatnot. Actually, if yinz didn't know, there's a pre-recorded bump of that message so we don't shred our vocal chords repeating it dozens of times a day. There are many other phrases we repeat dozens of times of day

Your mid-Wednesday Carpenter Jorb

I'm taking it upon meself to throw this up. I would have earlier, but I was dealing with a litany of... Yinzerness. Plus, I can't use this is side of DFO at the PSAP. Also, we bottomed out (heh heh "bottomed out" huh huh) at -9 degrees MURICKAN this morning. Anyway,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: I Can’t Believe I’m Making a Uni Guide for the Marble League

But I am! So there. Why? Because I can, because Marble League 2024 just started, and because the team shirts have stepped up their game this year. Links to the unis should be obvious enough (it's the store link because I don't want to be bothered to show each picture

Your Parade and March of the Wooden Soldiers Thanksgiving Morning Thread

Because as we know it isn't Thanksgiving until you hear: "You have to stay with Barnaby, you're married to him.""I don't want to stay here with him.""Why?""I DON'T LOVE HIM!" Because March of the Wooden Soldiers (aka Babes in Toyland) is a timeless classic, no matter how much it's aged (and in several ways

Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Oh, Hai! Yep we have substitute teachers all over this Sunday! They selected the two futbol freaks who also have mental problems when it comes to their respective NFL teams. I believe Rev was laughing at me pacing like a lunatic last year in Vegas during an Eagles game. During this visit

The Voodoo He Do So Well: 2024 Stillers What-Have-You

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...

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Tuesday Night Wednesday Special!

In that I'm at least starting this on Tuesday night, due to a rehearsal Wednesday morning/afternoon and gig Wednesday night. Why did I agree to go to Washington Heights? I don't know, not the biggest fan of myself I guess, because that shit's far from where I am in Queens.

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Another Mobile Edition

Sorry folks, no Boots on the Ground from last night. One, the semi-anonymity of the site means that although my exploits are known here I don’t need Google putting two and two together. (I will be happy to answer questions below, when I’m not playing on my gig tonight.) Two,

Memorial Day Evening Open Thread – Warhammer Style

Normal disclaimer:  if it has to do with Warhammer in any way, Games Workshop owns it.  So do not give your kid a name from any of the lore or books.  Unless you are really annoyed at the kid. Today is Memorial Day when we give thanks and honor our fine

Monday Open Thread – Warhammer 40k Book Review – Night Lords Omnibus

*Remember Games Workshop owns everything Warhammer including the Black Library which is named after an in-game location and is their publishing arm. Many of the stories of the battles, wars, campaigns and daily life of the galaxy are told from the side of the Imperium (the good guys - if the
