7 gigs in 8 nights has come and gone, and there was much rejoicing for my bank account, especially after the check to the Treasury Department (aka, taxes) cleared. Which was good in that it essentially cleared dead money in that case. Less good in the amount of money, which

The Holy Game of Poker: Tuesday Open Thread
Anything that gets the adrenaline moving like a 440 volt blast in a copper bathtub is good for the reflexes and keeps the veins free of cholesterol... -Hunter S. Thompson I miss poker. Haven't played since DFOCon 23, through lack of time and spare energy. Everyone has their own grand philosophical take on
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Night After Night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdxPIrQZjYw Which is to say, tonight is night 4 of 7 gigs in 8 days. (Unfortunately, my Friday rehearsal fell through, or else it would have been 8 straight.)

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: I Can’t Stand the Rain

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: 30 Questions for 30 Teams (or, sorry everyone, it’s an MLB preview!)

So, without further ado, and dodging your rotten tomatoes and full alcohol containers, let's do this so we can get to complaining in
Boat Stuck, Part II: Tuesday Open Thread
Sorry kids. Shitty weeks plus misbehaving neurochemistry means you get Grouchy Rev tonight. First, we have another stuck boat. But this time instead of boat constipating world commerce, boat destroyed a major bridge and killed some folks. It also blocked one of America's largest ports. I told you the boats would
Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: I Already Posted the Stravinsky…
Otherwise more riots, woo! (I’ll save it for April because the premiere was in April.) Instead we have news, which isn’t riots. -Jets fans actually bought Mike Williams a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, and had it delivered to 1 Jets Drive. And it worked, considering he signed a one-year deal. (I’ll be

Tampering With The Laws of Nature: Tuesday Open Thread
