The AFL season starts this week with the "Opening Round" which the AFL tried last year and they're doing it again. In the ten short years I've been actively following the AFL (not counting my years in the 80s when the league was on ESPN 2), things have changed a

Welcome back to Nocturnes Magazine, an inside-Wumbo Wednesday inside look at my diceball team in an attempt to get the Hippo to write an unabridged history of the several hundred year reign of Bernard Gilkey at Pretend Man City.

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

Okay, what in the crap is this? This is Nocturnes Magazine, a look into the Brooklyn Nocturnes. Okay… that doesn't help me. Who are the Brooklyn Nocturnes and what do they do? Remember the diceball I mentioned? Well, I'm going to use a monthly Wumbo column to write in more detail because it got

I know I am repeating myself (Carpenter pun alert), but Hippo is very glad that a long ago New Year's Resolution (to stop ever making New Year's Resoliutions) has held for yet another year.  Everything will just fall to shit regardless, remember. So..to the JV playoffs.  5 matches, 5 "so boring

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

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it.  And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad.  But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00).  Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car
