By Popular Demand: College Football Realignment

Welcome to a new series in which I take your post ideas and run with them. Today's topic: College Football Realignment. I am nothing if not a people pleaser.  Due to popular demand (yes, Blax is popular!), I am presenting you with my HOT TAEK on college football realignment. As I was prepping

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

Ballsy’s Mock Draft for 2024

As his hands searched for purchase on the slick stone floor, they scraped across several crusty pores and sharp cracks in the uneven surface. He picked himself up slowly, stifling a cough and begging for relief from his

Chapter 2: Searching Dove Valley

[chapter 1] ---------- The pale glow of the parking lot's fluorescent light poles grew in the distance as Russell Wilson approached. Their brightness overpowered the dim trail markers that had illuminated his way through the golf course's carefully maintained copse of aspen. The lot's empty spaces, each traced with care by crisp

Oh Boy! Rotational Thursdays with Litre.

Good evening to you! At this point I've just returned from a much needed vacation in Arizona! You see, my folks, and my in-laws both live in Phoenix because they are not stupid and flee the Canadian winter. Sadly they live clear across town from each other so I did so
