Golf Tales Volume 1 – Part 4

Balls stared out the window of his office in one of high-rise buildings in DTLA. It was mid-morning, and, for some reason, the marine layer was sticking around.  Normally, it receded to the beach communities until around noon when it went away completely, but it was thick in DTLA and

Golf Tales Volume 1 – Part 3

Lady Balls and Balls woke up the next morning slightly tired. They had stayed up late trying to figure out one good deed that tWBS could do that would not hurt anyone and were coming up blank.  Their brains were so taxed with the effort that they didn’t even bother

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

“So, you can just pick any woman and inhabit her body?” “Only for a few minutes at a time.” Balls thought about it for a second and then started to panic. “Wait!  You haven’t!” “Dude, I’m not that sick!” “Yeah you are!” “Well, I’ll have you know.  I’m not.  Besides, Lady Balls is not and has

The 11th hole at Los Verdes is a 305-yard Par 4 from the Blues that goes downhill and plays much shorter than it looks.  If you really get a hold of it, you can reach Catalina Island. Balls stepped up to the tee confident and happy about how the round had

A Chance Encounter on the Trail

Echo Canyon Trail. Paradise Valley, Arizona. 9:15 A.M. The weather was beautiful. It was turning into a why you live here kind of day, Michael Bidwill thought. In his favorite shorts and hiking top outfit (complete with lucky Georgetown Prepatory Academy neckerchief), he approached the bouldering section of the hike with

Ding Dong, Aaron Donald Is Gone (2024 RAMMITT Preview)

It’s finally happened.  After threatening to retire for what seems like every offseason of his career, Aaron Donald, the most terrifying defensive lineman in recent history, has fucked off to do whatever enormous rich people do when they retire.  The Rams are about to find out what happens when they

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

Oh Boy! This guy again?

  Punches back into content mine.      Well hello there, I hope you're keeping well, it’s been awhile. As it's the offseason and I currently am in a funk at work I decided to punch back in to do something creative ON COMPANY TIME.  Here is a random picture of someone who is popular

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
