King Hippo - April 27, 2024April 26, 202495

I thank the esteemed Balls for filling in ably last week. I drove up to London, Ontario for a 2-day visit withmy oldest HippoSpawn. It was nice, just that's about as long as I can go without a recluse-based panic attack. So, nice to be home as well. One side benefit,

Sharkbait - April 26, 2024April 26, 202413

I'm going to get straight to the point and temper expectations right off the bat. This is not going to be a good and or in depth post. It's mostly a reflection on my inability to plan ahead for something I do on a weekly basis, and it's finally come

So here we are. Clock is ticking. Mistakes will be made, both happy accidents and career-ending missteps. Christmas Morning for our deviant kind. Ho ho ho, bitches.

The Taylor Swift Experience: The Tortured Alex Department

Music?

Alex_Demote - April 25, 2024April 24, 202431

During the 2023 NFL season I lost a bet that resulted in me writing a paragraph about every single song Taylor Swift had ever released, all within the span of 7 days. I had a blast posting them for you and when some requested that I do the same for

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: ‘Twas the Night Before Draftmas…

Senor Weaselo - April 24, 2024April 24, 202497

Not writing that one, just saying that the Draft is tomorrow and will inevitably get more eyeballs than the *checks ESPN app* five playoff sports events also happening that evening. Combined. Sure, the Jets have the 10th pick in the draft, but it's also the Jets so at the end

Ah Spring. When the grass begins growing, the basketball and hockey playoffs still feel fresh, and the pollen counts are so high that even Josh Gordon thinks maybe them plants should take it down a notch. It's also the time for my annual Book Binge. Being an antisocial nerdlinger, I read

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
