OK, so admittedly my timing isn't the best on this one. Last Monday, as I justifiably celebrated with a few beers with my father and brother at The Harp in romantic Willimantic, CT was St. Patrick's Day. While I was coming back from those beers, (2-3 Guinness, and yes, I did

Guten Tag, people, and Happy St. Patrick's Day. This post has nothing to do with Ireland or the Irish. I've been busy today trying to plan a trip to Puerto Rico, while knowing nothing about the island other than it's in the middle of the Atlantic, is home to DFO's

Good morning people. I assume it's a good morning for some of you anyway. Me, I'll still be rolling into Daylight Savings Time, which I hate for depriving me an hour of beautiful sleep, a time when, like Ralph Wiggum, I'm a Viking, or at least unconscious and not having

Greetings to you all, but this week especially to those of us of a certain age, specifically those of us who had our formative years in the '80's. It was a strange time in America, one where Ronald Reagan had us on the road to the absolutely fantastic, 10/10, no

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,

Yinz already know I'm going through the "life transition," and whatever. I'll take my D- on this, and be happy not be exiled to Lowratio's outhouse for a fortnight. Between my work computer not having access to funny gifs, and my home computer is suddenly quite ill, on top of everything...

Guten Tag, degenerates. It's another Monday morning, which means another mock draft. This week I was scrolling through some old drafts, waiting for inspiration to strike, and stumbled upon a comment from BFC in which he said he still hasn't seen Titanic and that would be a good topic for

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.

Good Monday Morning folks. As I write this on Sunday night I am exhausted, having spent most of the day outside either on a deck or in a lake. Oh, do you not have friends with a lake house to which you are invited when it is hot out? Pity. Anyway, like I

Ok, we won't go into 'Horatio climbs mountains' again, because frankly two mentions on consecutive days is probably one mention too much. But I did in fact spend a lot of time outdoors today going uphill, (it's pretty funny seeing my Fitness Calculator just fucking spin at how many calories
