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

Good morning everyone! We're taking a break from the traditional Sunday Gravy to bring you a very special Boots on the Ground episode. A couple of weeks ago, I made what turned out to be one of the more monumental trips of my life. I went to Indianapolis for the total solar eclipse! I

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

Boots on the Ground: Porto Portugal! Final chapter, Portugal The Food

yeah right - November 29, 2023November 29, 2023

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

Boots on the Ground! Porto Portugal. Part 1; Getting There

yeah right - October 18, 2023October 17, 2023

It's no surprise to any of you regarding my ambition to become an expat and retire overseas. I have made ZERO effort to keep that a secret. Also as many of you know, given the incentives and the ease of acquiring a visa, Portugal was very high on my list of possible

BrettFavresColonoscopy - September 21, 2023September 21, 2023

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

Your “Boots on the Ground 2: Australian Boogaloo” Tuesday Night Open Thread

BrettFavresColonoscopy - September 12, 2023September 12, 2023

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

Are You Ready For Some Football and Boots on the Ground?

BrettFavresColonoscopy - September 7, 2023September 7, 2023

Picture originally from here, modified expertly by me Are you ready for some football? Want to be specific about which kind? Because I have been at a LOT of football games these past few weeks, none of them of the "gridiron" variety. And virtually every minute of it was fucking awesome.

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “This is a Woodlawn-bound 4 Train.”

Senor Weaselo - August 2, 2023August 2, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZdDyH9LLc Ah, yes, summer in the big city. The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly

Ah yes, summer camp, the wonderful fun of doing… whatever arts and crafts shit, I don't know what goes on at most sleepaway camps. The only sleepaway camp I went to was music camp, and though we had a good time it's not nearly as fun as the "one time

Your Boots on the Grounds! Thursday Night Open Thread

BrettFavresColonoscopy - July 13, 2023July 13, 2023

Happy Thursday! I'm tired, you're tired, it's hot out, let's skip the preamble and get on with it. I did NOT go to the All Star Game this week, mainly because I didn't care about it (or frankly remember that it was happening/happened until Weaselo's mention in last night's open thread).

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Senor’s Spring Break Update

Senor Weaselo - April 12, 2023April 11, 2023

Well last week was fun. I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRh2MB8fuXs I'd say all in all, fun was had by most, and it's just how I drew it up, a multi-goal game from Tyler Motte. The bridge level at the Garden is a really good vantage
