DJ TAJ - March 27, 2025March 25, 2025

Define opulent. Hey, what's that kid doing to that chicken? Only one goal today. Jump in the Honda and traverse the downtown Los Angels freeways on a mid Tuesday morning. If all goes well headed back home before 1:00. Famous last words. You ever drive the 110 North to downtown? The mania burns fierce and

Tell me you don't see the very face of evil in that stonewall, please tell me you don't see it! A quick jaunt aside. I don't know how I write. You call that shite writin? I usually smoke a bowl and drink a beer or seven then lean over a keypad and see

DJ TAJ - March 6, 2025March 5, 2025

When and how boredom sets in is still a bit of a hermetical mystery, but by god the weeks before football truly dies, (think the Owl) I find usually no later than Wednesday during the bye week the lethargy really starts to soil the mind and degrade the spirit. You

Good morning! I thought we could feature a new mini-series as an appendix to Sunday Gravy. I recently stumbled across a true unicorn. Something I thought was dead and buried a LONG time ago. This series will probably mean more to the folks on the west coast who grew up with

Ever pee yourself? I have, and? I wasn't even drunk. There are two kinds of people in the world, First there are riders.Those who can't wait to quench their beastly lust for steely dangerous speed and second, those who look into the sky and say, there is no way that you could force

There is nothing that can make me leave this house ever again, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! “What? Who’s coming to town”? “Laurie Anderson?” “No way! Here?" “Orpheum Theater downtown Los Angeles.” DAMN FINE SHOT “I haven’t been outside this house in five years but just that name alone changes all thought processes. A chance to see God, live

I've already shared with you the francesinha from my first day in Porto. Before. With proper gravy application. And the detritus afterwards. For the public record, the beer you see in the photos "Super Bock" is a goddamn keeper. That shit is delicious and always served cold and frosty. Hell a man could drink that

When we last left off in recapping my sporting adventures in Oz, I had followed up BOTGs for GWS vs Sydney and RSA vs NED with another Women's World Cup match and my first ever trip to the MCG. Which leaves (checks notes) another WWC match and one last AFL

Rev is off tonight. I'm sure it's completely unrelated to last night's tilt featuring his wooly mammals and their LOLjob. That was worth any monkey paw tomfoolery, though. As you may have heard, A-A-Ron's achilles is indeed torn, meaning he is out for the whole season. I'll try and limit my
