Maybe it's just me, but the week immediately after the Superb Owl always tend to drag a little. There's almost a sense of dread, the looming off-season is now officially here, and the build-up for the game this week isn't there. If you're Jest or The Pauls fan, it's a

Allegheny County 9-1-1, what's the address--- oh, so(u)rry. Force of habit and whatnot. Actually, if yinz didn't know, there's a pre-recorded bump of that message so we don't shred our vocal chords repeating it dozens of times a day. There are many other phrases we repeat dozens of times of day

I'm taking it upon meself to throw this up. I would have earlier, but I was dealing with a litany of... Yinzerness. Plus, I can't use this is side of DFO at the PSAP. Also, we bottomed out (heh heh "bottomed out" huh huh) at -9 degrees MURICKAN this morning. Anyway,

I don't remember my maternal Grandmother ever cooking.  She must have, because she raised 5 kids and none of them starved before reaching adulthood.  Of course one of those kids was my aunt and godmother, (and it turns out the one who bought me that Leroy Jordan jersey and turned

Good morning drones.  As you read this I'm probably off on a week's vacation, heading north to Montreal, possibly Quebec, and definitely some breweries in Vermont on the way back. I still have to pack, I'm not sure where my passport is, and at some point I need to solidify what

Inspired by some controversy in last week's draft about movies based on disasters, this week we're going to be drafting board games.  The rules are, I hope, very simple:  if it's a game that involves a board, you can draft it.  If it's a game that does not involve a

Good Monday morning, drones.  This weekend we had to go away for a funeral.  The funeral itself was fine, as were the after...parties(?), no, that can't be right, given the circumstances.  Let's go with "functions."  Those were all good.  Lots of chatter, good memories of the deceased, solid food and

I was trying to work on a different topic but it wasn't working to my exacting standards and seemed likely to age badly, so I had it step down from this week's topic nomination and reached into my 'Suggested Topics' file cabinet and pulled one from frequent contributor Rikki-Tikki-Deadly. This week
