It’s Thursday Already? Carpenter Afternoon Hang-Out

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

Dante Hicks Tribute Carpenter Jorb

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

Your mid-Wednesday Carpenter Jorb

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,

  Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your host John Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form, maybe say

Your Parade and March of the Wooden Soldiers Thanksgiving Morning Thread

Monday Morning Mock Draft: Hey, Not So Loud!!

(I can't think of a decent featured image for this one; someone hit with me some little people!) Greetings, folks.  I write this after having gone out to dinner with some friends who know the owners of the restaurant, (and who I suspect bankrolled at least some of it), and let

Monday Morning Mock Draft: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Greetings people who are looking to avoid work on a Monday.  Today I'm avoiding it entirely, because I took the day off.  Why?  Because I realized that I have something like 360 hours of stored up vacation time and I can't cash it out, nor can I even donate it
