INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY The PRODUCER sits at his desk, unwrapping a package from Amazon. DJ 3000 remains in his usual location, still covered in sexy stickers. DJ 3000: SO HEY MAN WHAT'S IN THE BOX? PRODUCER: If you are trying to sound like Brad Pitt, it isn't working. DJ 3000: EH, I'LL

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Remember Remember

Sharkbait - July 12, 2024July 12, 20248

Remember remember the checks calendar the 12th of July? Well I'm remembering the time I made the Remember the Maine. All the way back in the second post of this series back in 2019. Oh, the simpler times... Anyway, looking back on that post, I realized a couple things: 1) while I

Thursdays are my turn and I completely forgot because this week is an unrepentant monkey. Random Thoughts: -My dumb dog Molly tried to eat a turtle earlier this week. -Canada's men's team won't reach a semi-final of any kind soccer-wise for the next 30 years. That's why this team should be celebrated. I'll

I hear the rain is supposed to stop soon. This is a welcome development to me. Although we are not nearly as battered as the Caribbean and American south have been up to this point, it becomes a major pain in the ass to have to deal with rain delays

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Tuesday Night Wednesday Special!

Senor Weaselo - July 10, 2024July 10, 202440

In that I'm at least starting this on Tuesday night, due to a rehearsal Wednesday morning/afternoon and gig Wednesday night. Why did I agree to go to Washington Heights? I don't know, not the biggest fan of myself I guess, because that shit's far from where I am in Queens.

Wakezilla - July 10, 2024July 10, 202442

Today's semi-finals feature the Dutch Ovens against the Tea and Crumpets, a matchup so significant that even the racists of each country temporarily set aside their issues with having non-white players on their squad. This will be the fourth meeting between England and the Netherlands at a major tournament. The Oranje

It's mid-Summer, which can only mean one thing: revisiting the Age of Sail! That's right, bitches-- in the absence of serious hockey, basketball and Tuesday football, oceans are now battlefields! Currently I am listening to a biography of Commodore Stephen Decatur and reading a delightful account of the Seven Years War

RTD made a joke of me because, like the United States, I'm a crumbling superpower who can't get the infrastructure up to speed. For those who've not been keeping up with MEEEEEEEE, our April 30 post ended with a simple, "So the dirt;s all prepped. We'll wait a couple weeks

Evening all. I had something I was working on and while trying to get it ready for tonight, I re-read what I had and I punted, it was how to put this "muy no bueno". So this is basically a Carpentered post. But I did have a question for everyone,

Ok, we won't go into 'Horatio climbs mountains' again, because frankly two mentions on consecutive days is probably one mention too much. But I did in fact spend a lot of time outdoors today going uphill, (it's pretty funny seeing my Fitness Calculator just fucking spin at how many calories
