Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Fun Violinist Stories!

Senor Weaselo - October 16, 2024October 16, 2024

So, unfortunately, Senorita Weaselo was sick this weekend, meaning we couldn't go see Gil Shaham play Mendelssohn with the Phil. Which sucks. Because he's fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQgjmMVqUPw Fun story! Actually two. Story 1: When I was a lad my youth orchestra went to go see him play I don't remember what. Anyway, we

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, It’s October!

Senor Weaselo - October 2, 2024October 2, 2024

You know what that means! No, fuck your spooky season, and quadruple-venti-fuck your PSL season. (Cider season is better anyway, comparing apples to pumpkins.) It's ALL THE SPORTS season! Football is in full swing, now it's the baseball playoffs, the NHL season starts in Czechia on Friday and in North America on

It's what I'll be doing! (BOOTS ON THE GROUND, DFO NOT-CON EDITION, WITH SOME HOT NOODS… it's ramen, remember that today's only Wednesday.) From that to news! Yeah, that's a segue. Regarding news from yesterday: Brett Favre with the Spacey Defense. Listen, I'm sorry that all those hits inevitably accelerated such a

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Classical Corner, Part 1

Senor Weaselo - September 18, 2024September 18, 2024

Welcome to a brand-new segment inside of Wumbo Wednesday, Classical Corner. As the violinist of the group I'm expected to be the one to class up the joint. Whether that's justified or not and I'd consider myself classy is beside the point, but like Lent, our Puritan brethren (as in,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Senor’s Classical Corner, Part Zero

Senor Weaselo - September 11, 2024September 11, 2024

Good evening. Originally I was thinking of adding a new section to this column, the Classical Corner. Basically, it's an attempt to put some CULTCHA in these posts, as the mention we have on the Kissing Suzy Kolber Wikipedia page does say high-minded vulgarity. So we can class it up

Didn't think you'd be getting a VGCats reference, didja? Congratulations, everyone. We survived with limbs intact. A little after this time tomorrow there'll be football. Not with reserves, not with maybe-gonnas or never-will-bes, or UFL fodder. Actual football. Good quarterbacks! Good teams! In a stadium where the color green is technically

Senor Weaselo - August 28, 2024August 28, 2024

Which is to say, first day of classes, my class is actually running for the first time in two years, so it's a lot of "Wait, what am I doing, I forgot from orientation two years ago, does my card actually work in the adjunct office and can I print

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo Presents The [Door Flies Open] 2024 Fantasy Football Name Guide

Senor Weaselo - August 21, 2024August 21, 2024

Greetings, and once again, welcome to another fantasy football name guide, a tradition that stands the test of time since the old site, and many other sites that cover football, either of the reality or fantasy kind. Hell, even ESPN's gotten into the mix. Which, incidentally, is probably how we know

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: We’ll Always Have Paris

Senor Weaselo - August 14, 2024August 14, 2024

Namely the memes, and the knowledge that if we knew of it, we too could have probably made the Australian breaking team. (Current controversy is whether she happened to be one of the few in the right place at the right time, and/or if she had an in, but it

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: News, Notes, and Newsy Notes, Olympic Edition

Senor Weaselo - August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

Senor Weaselo, this title sucks, is everything fine? Yes, except, again, the FF name guide just needs to be out before the end of the month. Today's the 7th, the DFO leagues (both?) draft(s?)—okay, at least the freezer vodka league draft is in three weeks, so I got time. (If

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, My Cable Sign-In Works!

Senor Weaselo - July 31, 2024July 31, 2024

So I can watch some team handball—Denmark vs. Argentina. Listen, Senorita Weaselo can watch all the swimming and gymnastics on the big-boy channel, but I remember what we played in gym class and I played a solid goalkeeper. (Denmark leads at the half.) I'd have more stuff, but the fantasy football

Evening. This will be short, ugly, and unfulfilling much like my first wedding night. Back home, rabbits are alive and were well cared for by the sitters, still have some sort of respiratory infection that the tests insist is not nuAIDs (and yes, I did wear a mask while in
