Sprots Desert – Oasis in the Distance Thread

King Hippo - August 2, 2025August 1, 202591

We had the stupid Hall of Fame game a few nights back, which I managed to get all the way through Q1. Huzzah for me. Two weeks from now, the Prem will be back, and all shall rejoice. Perhaps we will cobble together a preview, despite my extreme laziness. Remind Balls and

Mr. Ayo - August 1, 2025August 1, 202559

TGIF! What the deuce? It's August already? In this economy? At least I have the totally not disappointing Mariners to watch. And the South American chicas kicking around a soccer ball tonight. Word Count Filler Time Speaking of chicas, let's revisit some famoUs quotes about the blissful union of marriage. "I love being

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY All the lights in the studio are burning brightly. DJ 3000′ boots up… …to see HUNTER RENFROW sitting on the couch, fiddling with something. DJ 3000′: [sharply] HUNTER!

Sharkbait - August 1, 2025August 1, 202517

Its Finally here! Vacation!! Well, technically tomorrow but I get to slam my laptop shut for the next 2ish weeks. I'm still technically working next week, but the word "working" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. So while I'm 90% off the clock, I can't fully disassociate...yet. Also of note,

Look, at least they're wearing pads and such so that we can pretend, right? It's a scrimmage on steroids but we have to stretch our eyeball muscles as well. And who among doesn't need a little Easton Stick in their lives? I haven't done this in a while so bear

The Maestro - July 31, 2025July 30, 202514

Tomorrow is already August. As a teacher, that's the most horrifying thought I've had in months. While summer camp winds down forever for me, I do, fortunately still have another month of vacation remaining. It's time to make the most of it while I can. I'll be leaving tomorrow for

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Aww, Screw It

Senor Weaselo - July 30, 2025July 30, 202531

It is, at this point, a running joke that I am notoriously unlucky with my cars’ tires. Yes, cars as in plural. Like that time I was driving Senorita Weaselo home from us playing an opera, hit a pothole on the Van Wyck, the tire came off the wheel a

Once upon a time a little idiot was born. The little idiot knew nothing until one day his older brothers forced him into little league baseball. Funny he showed signs of some (Let's not push it) skill and fell in love with game. Later the idiot's mother played music for
