DFOing Good

Horatio Cornblower - November 6, 2024144

Hey, who else is up and around after 4-5 hours of melatonin-induced sleep, interrupted by various household pets coming in demanding food and to be let out because they are oblivious to what happened last night. I'm typing this up Wednesday morning, (because no matter that we're on the verge of

Game Time Decision - November 5, 2024November 4, 2024198

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:The world is so

Reflections

King Hippo - November 4, 2024November 3, 2024127

Holy cats, there was SO MUCH FITBAW. At least it felt that way to my poor, leaky brain. Like the Greatest Living American reminded us, after today we've gone halfway through the regular season. Anticipatory depression can go ahead and start blueprints, at least. The banner pic is because all

Have you fully adjusted to the time change by now? I woke up at 5:30am EST this morning and while early, it's not that big a deal-until I realized it was actually an hour earlier. Son of a bitch! Can I reclaim my time like politicians on committees? No? That's not

Hey y'all, welcome back! It's already week nine and things are just rolling along fine. The Steelers and Niners are on bye so there's a fair number of games to get to. To The Games! Cowboys/Falcons: Zeke isn't with the team because of some unspecified disciplinary thingy. Now who the hell is going

Hey, if you thought Dayime Slate was rough, wait until you see what Satan's got cooking LATE! Bonfire Cult (-3) at South Cakalaky (7:30, ABC) I'm a little surprised A&M is favoUred here.

November 2024 Spawned – Weak Footy Slate

King Hippo - November 2, 2024November 1, 2024190

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it. And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad. But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00). Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car

Sharkbait - November 1, 2024November 1, 202447

Happy first day of November! This week I decided to get a little adventurous. Last weekend we had Sharkette's 5th birthday party with family and friends. Some family dropped off some tangerine and chili flavored olives for Mrs. Sharkbait and I. I immediately passed them on to her because olives
