Hey, it's that time again. There's so little going on that I feel like talking about so this will be a short intro and then you guys can take it from there. The Face of a Dumbshit: You likely don't know this guy but you know the type. That is Bruce Garrioch

TGIF! Hope no one was arrested for protesting this week. Sure glad nothing embarrassing happened on the campus of my alma mater.

Happy Derby and Cinco de Mayo Friday! Hopefully you've all got something lined up for this excellent weekend. Me? I'll be out of state at a friend's wedding that they are turning into a giant Kentucky Derby party. Unfortunately, the Cinco de Mayo portion of the weekend is travel for

I had a brief respite from throwing together the Thursday nighter as Rev handled things last week, ably guessing up a storm as the draft unfolded and for that I'm grateful. (can't believe he didn't see that Penix pick from a mile away) Let's do some random stuff. Wasting Away in

TGIF! Hope everyone is enjoying the draft and laughing at the Falcons. More importantly, though, there's playoff hockey! Survival - Personal Edition Now the spring has sprung, it's time to venture into the wilderness again. I've previously written about constructing holding traps, so today I'll cover machine traps.

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Perils of the EBUG

Sharkbait - April 26, 2024April 26, 2024

I'm going to get straight to the point and temper expectations right off the bat. This is not going to be a good and or in depth post. It's mostly a reflection on my inability to plan ahead for something I do on a weekly basis, and it's finally come

TGIF! It's playoff season! Well, not today, but starting tomorrow anyway. Why yes, the hardwood footy play-ins are not playoff games you rube. Please ignore them and wait for the actual playoffs tomorrow. Survival - Personal Edition What low-rent, over-lookable advice can I deliver today? Oh, here's one. Now that the pandemic

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Friends in the Right Places

Sharkbait - April 19, 2024April 19, 2024

Welcome back to the best day of the week. This week's drink is the result of an innocent, half joking ask of my bartender friend of what I should make. I expected him to reply with some over the top nonsense that only he can concoct with special ingredients at

Welcome folks, to Friday Eve. Shall we make a promise to ourselves and one another to half-ass it for four hours tomorrow? My routine is to do bunch of paperwork in the morning (pouring over sales journals mostly) go to the mail, touch bases with all the sales reps and

TGIF! The come down from March Madness is terrible. For a very small few of us, our methadone is azaleas in full bloom, pine straw, fake bird noises, small creeks, and yellow pin flags. For the rest of you? Well, it's the weekend to go do whatever you want. Survival -

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Fix is In

Sharkbait - April 12, 2024April 12, 2024

Thankfully Friday is upon us once again. This has been the longest short week (for me at least). The family came back from a trip to northern Vermont to be in the path of totality for the eclipse, which was awesome and well worth it. However a long weekend with

Let's do some brain drippings shall we? Packers/Eagles/Brazil: Any suggestions as to who should be tortured to death at the end of the game due to a spelling error? The Friday night tilt means that we'll have 7(?) featured games (Thursday, Friday, three on Sunday and Monday doubleheader(?)) the first weekend. I
