Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “So, how was Boston, Senor?”
Purple Drank: Tuesday Open Thread
Yeah Right rejoice- the Vikings have made the obvious decision without (apparently) setting themselves on fire! Justin Jefferson, who was set to make $19 million playing on the fifth-year team option of his rookie contract this year, agreed to another 4 years at $140 million, $110 million of which is notionally
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your Türkiye Euro 24 Preview
Yeah, I figure I should probably do that before the Euros start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnyBJJI2eqs This has once again been Senor Weaselo's preview of the Turkish lesser footy team. Naturally, I'll be rooting for Portugal, Czechia, and Georgia in that group. Okay, news! -500s extend WR Nico Collins, 3 years, $72.75M, $52M guaranteed. -Vikes re-sign G Dalton
Scarcity as Value: Tuesday Open Thread
So in addition to my other avocations (raconteur, gentleman thief, hobbyist blacksmith, Holy Man for Hire) I am also the World's Cheapest Watch Snob. I really enjoy mechanical clocks and watches- the amazing precision of ninety pieces (or more) meshing together in harmony is mesmerizing. These devices were the cutting
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Pre-Summer Lull
My work for the semester ended last week, and I'm waiting on any potential summer assignments, so it's a bit of waiting game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JVNMmsN3Co So yeah, it's a little bit more boredom than usual this week. Senorita Weaselo and I are going to Boston next weekend, so I should probably pull the
In Which Rev Pays For His Hubris: Tuesday Open Thread
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) For someone with such deep-seated self-loathing, I can be surprisingly arrogant. It's a puzzle. In my brash youth of, uh, a month ago, I made a sincere but reckless pronouncement regarding the sixth pick of the NFL Draft: "I will
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: My One Braincell, Subway Edition
The following are things that have actually happened to me on the trains this week. They are pretty dumb. These are my stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8lDYrvTILc -So, Senorita Weaselo and I were getting on the train back to her place after I had successfully gotten her to play for the school's strings concert. It
Camping Adventures II: The Search for Spork: Tuesday Open Thread
We're going camping this weekend. I hate camping. My ancestors camped for 40 fucking years in the desert because they were complaining dickholes who reverted to idolotry at the drop of a hat. Camping was punishment, and the intervening 3000 years of Jewish history have been a relatively steady march away from
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The One He Retroactively Named
Well, hopefully everyone's rested up for playoff overtime hockey. Either that or resetting the "It has been X days since Rashee Rice has gotten into a new legal issue" board. Especially as we're in the post-draft, post-free agency doldrums. It's all conjecture and posturing, the least newsworthy news, unless you're
10,000ish Posts!: Tuesday Open Thread
Whelp, it finally happened. This ragtag website, "run" by a bunch of idiots, shitheads, ne'erdowells, reprobates and overall dumbasses, has reached 10,000 posts. And I just want to say, on behalf of those behind the scenes, who put their heart, soul, time and money into this crazy little online clubhouse: What an
