Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your 2022 Marble League Rolldown Breakdown

Well, the torch has gone out over The Pond in Draklin, and we have our new champions, and boy, are they not who you would have expected if I told you in the summer! Let's go through all 32 teams, both Marble League proper and Showdown squads, and give thoughts,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Holiday Rush

It's that pre-Christmas rush, or as musicians know it, time to play the same things we play every goddamn year. Okay, that's a slight mistake. I haven't had anyone ask me to play The Nutcracker this year. Part of that might actually be a soft boycott on Tchaikovsky, due to goings-on

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Hazard Pay

In that I don't get it for having TWO gigs last week outdoors, in November. I instead get to play in poorly-heated tents. I'm still sick. I'm pretty sure Wednesday and Thursday I had bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydmPh4MXT3g We can only hope that she's doing well. How did I

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A (Shoehorned) World Cup Preview in Tunisia

(It was birthday week, and rehearsal Friday, concert Saturday, gig Sunday, gig Monday. At some point we will go back to our regularly scheduled musings and Marble League reviews. Like HOLY SHIT THE PINKIES ARE STILL IN 1ST THROUGH 6 EVENTS. The Pinkies. The Pauls of the Marble League. Also,

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Your Marble League Rolldown 2022 Preview!

Yeah, I may still be dragging my feet on the Beaties, to the point that the BattleBots 2022 event (World Championship VII) has actually concluded filming! (Air date TBD) But it's also the time of year for the other non-human sport we follow, the Marble League! It's been a busy year

Wumbo Wednesday: TWIFY 2—Own Team Edition!

I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: This October in F*** You (ALCS Edition!)

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas. Considering it's their third ALCS meeting in the last six years (and fourth playoff meeting in the last eight), I guess you

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Previews and Last Reviews

Let's actually start with the latter. I was all set to do the Beaties this week (though that would apparently require time to think about and write the thang ding), but then BattleBots dropped this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0fgYlaack I'm not going to do a full play-by-play because you can just watch the thang ding—erhem,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Not Quite Sunday Gravy

Evening lizard peo—*gets message through earpiece*—Wait, really? I knew it was an Illuminati joke, but… ahh, I gotcha. Damn bigots, it's why we can't have nice things. Fine, though that does kill a long-running bit, but we're nothing if not trying to be better people. Anyway… For your reading pleasure tonight…

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Edge of History

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYhP9iZHss Whoever it was who liked my RNG goddesses Anna joke from way back when, here's another Fire Emblem joke. You're welcome. No, I said the edge of history, goddammit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBMdLj0bx8g No word on whether they steal the Declaration of Independence. …Not quite. Fuck it, start again. So last week you may have mentioned I un-errored
