Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 18, 2021 Season.

Yes, Mr. Potamus gets bumped this week.  Because 2021 season playoff history will be HER-story too! Damn, was that ever some valiant shit, or what?  The Tomsulas were deader than ded.  Like, bottom of the ocean with cement shoes dead.  17-nil down, on the road (to a team with plenty to play

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 17, 2021 Season

There were too many fixtures crammed into this singular day.  I liked the spreading out.  So many #WhitePplProblems up in this muthafucka. Look, I am not a doctor - or a Doktor - but as a Son of the South, ah noes my Antonio Brown diagnosis - nuttier than a shithouse rat.  We

I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family this weekend.  And by family, of course I mean FITBAW! If we learned nothing else in 2021 (and we mostly didn't), it's this - don't go pissing Joe Burrow off.  Balmer was down to its third string QB, but Josh Johnson played fairly well.

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 3, 2021 Season

September ended with several FITBAW happenings.  Here is a brief description of some of those things. Everybody likes to see a record set, unless you live in Detroit.  Yes indeed, a confluence of events - including a converted 4th and 19 (wide-ass open) and a blatant, and blatantly ignored, delay of

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: School Days Special! Cafeteria Style braised beef over mashed potatoes!

Good morning all. Great to have you back. Got a few ghosts to chase today and maybe we'll find a distant remnant of a memory that had been buried in my head for decades. As always inspiration is a challenge when you write weekly food posts every goddamn Sunday during a seven
