INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY For the first time in a few weeks, all the lights in the studio are burning brightly. The only sound is the hesitant tapping of fingers on a keyboard. DJ 3000′ boots up… …to see HUNTER RENFROW sitting at one of the office desks, working on a

Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: Treehouse

Sharkbait - July 25, 2025July 25, 202510

Happy Friday. Things are getting a bit hectic in Haus Sharkbait. The reason is that a week from tomorrow we disappear on vacation for 3 weeks. It's crazy I know. Prepping for that is just starting up but even what little prep has been done is time consuming. Fear not

The Maestro - July 24, 2025July 23, 202564

Thursdays are thunderstorm days in my neck of the woods. I have absolutely no idea why that is, but it seems to be settling into a regular routine over the last few summers. Perhaps maybe those #geoengineering conspiracy freaks have inadvertently stumbled onto something... At any rate it appears, fortunately,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Monastery

Senor Weaselo - July 23, 2025July 23, 2025117

So, Senorita Weaselo and I were upstate this past weekend. Well, the Hudson Valley counts as upstate. If you're from the city. Which we are. So, sure. It's a welcome respite, and as we know I normally work like a dog in June and early July, so it's nice to do

God DAMN, boys! It's training camp time, my favorite time of the year! And this year, camp is gonna be campier than one of those John Waters movies! Now, because of my employment with ESPN and the network's 100% Shouty Bullshit committment, I'm contractually prohibited from giving any legitimate analysis. Fortunately, my

Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There's no reason as to why some comments make it and others don't. Seriously. There isn't. This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:Hey, I know this

Hello everyone reading, or in the case of some, pretending to read, my Joycean (lack of talent notwithstanding) flow of consciousness is here again to hopefully entertain you. First, Orson is struggling to adapt to the passing of Noir, lots of just sitting and staring, a lot less energetic, still
