I write this fully knowing the consequences. I apologize in advance for the blood about to be shed. However, I've held my tongue long enough. I'm only doing this for the good of society. Here goes: Girl Scout Cookies are tasteless saturated fat guilt bombs that prey on the weak and

Horatio Cornblower - March 4, 2024March 3, 2024150

OK, let's make this quick. This topic was between this and another one, (which you will almost certainly see very soon), and I wasn't sure if this one would work. Then I remembered that I don't get paid for this, that we do this rather than work on a Monday,

DJ TAJ - March 3, 2024March 1, 2024210

The lizards are crawling on my face and eating my eyes. Failure is indeed an option and I have chosen most unwisely, again, Shit This all comes from a sanguine suggestion of “Yeah Right” Pie indeed. Cover me in the blood of Christ for I am truly forsaken but only on Tuesday’s

ballsofsteelandfury - March 2, 2024March 1, 202492

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. Tonight is a bit different because I'm sticking my AFL season preview in this post instead of making it a separate

Marching On With Lesser Footy

King Hippo - March 2, 2024March 1, 202484

I keep forgetting to draft these until I am so deep into #FridayBrain that I can't really formulate coherent thoughts. That's ok, footy has been filled with entropy of late anyway. No need to try to make any sense of it. No 7:30 fixture AGAIN. This is starting to get on

TGIF! Everyone enjoy their day of leaping? Well, we're on to March now! The Madness is just around the corner. Survival - Personal Edition Ever make the terrible choice to have children?

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Merry Leap Day

Sharkbait - March 1, 2024March 1, 202430

So I'm not sure where this surge of English themes I have going on recently, but here we are again with an English inspired cocktail this week. Well not inspired per se, but born from one of the world's best cocktail bars: The American Bar at the Savoy hotel in

Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your host John Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form, maybe say

About six weeks ago I badly injured my back and have been forced to spend almost all of my time in bed, as even sitting for extended periods of time is untenable. Physical therapy starts soon. I’m lucky nothing is broken, and that the damage will heal.

Senor Weaselo - February 28, 2024February 28, 202485

Tonight's post is live from the office, because I have to be there for rehearsal during post time, and am spending my time otherwise doing jazz band arrangements for… definitely not enough per page. Like most teaching things, I should be making like double for this. Life of a musician… Okay,
