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

Your 2023 Yinzer Forecast:

I apologize in advance for the litany of "Pickett's charge" memes we may be exposed to going forward. This isn't to say PICKETT'S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style. I honestly have no clue what to make of Kenneth Shane Pickett. He looked fine at times in 2022, after Tomlin wasn't feeling like Kissing

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “This is a Woodlawn-bound 4 Train.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZdDyH9LLc Ah, yes, summer in the big city. The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly
