Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There's no reason as to why some comments make it and others don't. Seriously. There isn't. This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:It is more important

Horatio Cornblower - April 22, 2024April 22, 2024

Sorry folks, second week in a row that I forgot that Monday follows Sunday. Very busy weekend followed by last night planning the logistics to the family trip to my Grandmother's funeral mass and burial later this week. Pro-tip, do not live until 99; the last couple of years are not

In these Off-season Open Threads, I'll sum up the week that was, provide you with TMI-style information, and throw some random spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks. *** My favourite time of year starts tonight. It's Day One of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the greatest tournament in all of

Teh Hippo asked me to fill in this weekend as he is driving to the Great White North. Considering he's from North Carolina, that could just as well be Virginia. Anyhow, I've got some things on my mind after this week's Champions League Quarterfinals Second Legs: Real - Man City should

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

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: More Notes from the Bandstand

Senor Weaselo - April 17, 2024April 17, 2024

7 gigs in 8 nights has come and gone, and there was much rejoicing for my bank account, especially after the check to the Treasury Department (aka, taxes) cleared. Which was good in that it essentially cleared dead money in that case. Less good in the amount of money, which
