It was supposed to rain all day but the atmospheric river must have run dry as it was nice and sunny around noon. Feeling antsy and having planned nothing, I figured I'd go to the range and get some practice in. I had discovered that the Alhambra Golf Course had

BattleBots Beat: Bad Dragon

Senor Weaselo - January 19, 2023January 18, 2023

Oh, the things we've learned of from Balls's AVN posts, and the Giant Washer awards… Welcome back to the Beat! We're one week in and already the defending champ is 0-1. This week, the younger sibling tries to pick up the gauntlet… against the preseason #1. Also two of last year's

On a whim, I decided to head to my local 9 Hole golf course to see if I could get on. It was a cloudy and cold day, so I figured not too many people would be out. I figured if I got on, cool, and, if not, I could

Every January, to my great discomfort, I am summoned to justify my continued existence within the law firm. It's like somebody decided, "hey, we don't think Hippo focuses enough on his self-hatred and feelings of personal and professional failure - let's stare at him and make him do a little

BattleBots Beat: Banner Night

Senor Weaselo - January 12, 2023January 12, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! For the… 6th? season in a row, I'm your friendly neighborhood Senor Weaselo, here to report and recap, well, BattleBots. It's a little bit of a different vibe this year, so let me get into the gist of the details: -There are only 50 full-competing robots

Your 2021* BattleBots Beaties! (Sponsored by Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo)

Senor Weaselo - January 11, 2023January 11, 2023

Hey, as long as they come out before I start writing about new season, I'll take it. So, you know, just in the nick of time. Hey, there weren't Giant Washer awards this year because my non-Mexican union equivalent Dracophile (of BattleBots Update) was apparently *checks notes* donating his time

I was looking up tee times at one of my local courses for Thanksgiving Day when I found one for pretty cheap that included a cart. The only problem was that there were only 2 spots available. That means there were already two people playing at that same time. Very much like

It was 7 AM on a Sunday morning and I was headed to Palm Springs to play in a tournament. Tee time was at 10 and I wanted to get there early to properly warm up. The beautiful thing about driving east on a Sunday morning is that you can

I was inspired by Brick's image that he posted on Sexy Friday and which is now the banner picture for this post. Instead of doing the New Year Resolutions post like I've done in previous years, I've decided to switch up the format and document my 2023 goal of getting

Welcome to the dregs of 2022. Per tradition, Hippo will purposefully fall asleep before any countdown activity, unless the footy stays interesting, Lord knows it will need to outclass Meeechigan pantsing the Bloodeyes earlier. UPDATE - Hippo predicts future not so goodly. To the game! Georgia (-5) v. tOhio State -

Do we gots some Lesser Footy and JV NFL? By gum we sure does! Very Disappointing Everton desperately need United to open a can of whoopass on Wolves (7:30, USA), so it won't happen. But they are a fun watch (I will reluctantly admit), now that they've cast Ronaldo off the island.
