Friday Morning Brain Farts/Carpenter Jorb

In lieu of actual prose, here's some randomness to waste time while waiting for DJ 3000 to reload munitions from last night's operations the playlist. I semi-successfully managed to get through my first week as a 9-1-1 operator without causing any serious harm. So, that's a plus. Somehow I've managed to

Monday Open Thread – Not Warhammer but still cromulent!

Note: Warhammer40k and all Warhammer properties, ideas, pictures, and fiction all belong to Games Workshop. I was going to do a write up of the Chaos Titans of the Dark Mechanicum, which I will definitely do in the future, but I started looking to see if Slannesh had any in their

The DFO March College Basketball Tournament Preview

It's that time of year again; the clocks have sprung forward, the potato-eating countries have been celebrated, and random baseball teams are heading to Southeast Asia to play our national pastime. Yep, it's definitely time for some Madness     no, not the 40+ year old ska band (but hey, they just put

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Mobile Edition

Which is to say, I left the lappy home to go to work today, because I also need to practice and then go to my gig. Five gigs and a rehearsal in six days, woo! The important news is of course all the franchising and not-franchising. Like if you’re a RB,

A Thursday Afternoon Carpenter Existential Experience!

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

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

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Mind on the Road

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abdAMwgMWPo&themeRefresh=1 I do a lot of driving. Like, a lot. Like, due for a 5,000 mile oil change, and I got the car at the end of October. Like, over 1800 miles in January. Such is the life of a freelance musician, who is also in a medium-distance relationship, and is

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

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

Whatever Happens Now Is Just Gravy – The Indianapolis Colts At The Break

What can be said about the 2023 Indianapolis Colts that couldn't also be said in the form of a gravy fart? I'm not sure, but we'll try to make words go together to form sentences anyway. After all, that's what literaturists do, and this site is nothing if not literatureful. So

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: RAINPOCALYPSE ’23

If you hadn't heard, it rained last weekend in the city. And the entire East Coast. I guess Project Arcturus is finally up and running, though the Queensboro Bridge is still upright. (Nobody calls it by its current official name, the Ed Koch Bridge. You know who else wouldn't call

Green Bay Packers preview

When doing some research for this poorly thought out season preview, I went to see what I said about the Packers last year, but apparently I didn't do that post, but 2 years ago I did and one thing that did stand out to me was this: ...how long does Rodgers
