Subsequent GTD reflections, Contiguous US Substitute Teacher Edition

BrettFavresColonoscopy - June 4, 2024June 4, 2024

Hello there fellow DFOer. In case you didn't notice last week (how dare you?), GTD has been given a two week reprieve from forced labor vacation, so he asked for volunteers in his place. DonT knocked it out of the park last week, and you're stuck with me today.

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

Good evening and Happy June. I'm writing this well in advance because today marks ten years since Lady BFC and I went on our first date, and if I'm in the DFO clubhouse typing away instead of celebrating, something has gone horribly wrong. Speaking of things going horribly wrong, the reason

DonT is off tonight. I can't remember if it was something about a "deposition" or a "deep position in your mom." Speaking of, how was everyone's mother's day? Sufficiently loaded with guilt about how you didn't quite do enough or did too much in a poorly thought out attempt to offset

Did you get that thing I didn't send you? Consider this an alternative "AFL Beat" that will mainly focus on the games I watched/tracked this weekend (and I make no promises of doing this on the reg). Keep in mind that I watch these games post hoc on the WatchAFL app,

Banner Photo Credit: Getty Your regularly scheduled Monday night Warhammer professor, ArmedandHammered, is off tonight. Sorry, any esoteric references for the evening will likely be about topics other than video games, because I'm the wrong kind of nerd. But let's start with another holiday reference! Tonight begins Purim. For those of you

Quick, first life changing moment from your childhood? Mine, fairly easy, I was 10 years old when my 2 year old brother died. That dead face still haunts my memory, not like it used to 50 years ago but it’s still there waiting for me to have 2 too many beers

Hodwy. Your friendly neighborhood Balls has been underwater for a bit, so he asked me to pinch hit on an AFL Beat! As you may or may not know, we are now 20 weeks into the 2022 Aussie Footy season, which can mean only three things-- It's starting to get

As the title clearly lays out, I cannot believe it is August. Maybe it's the enduring pandemic that we can't escape due to variants and the defiant ignorance/selfishness of the freedumb crowd. Maybe it's the fact I've been so busy at work that I can't keep track of time. Maybe

It was a cold night. Not historically cold or even stereotypically cold given how goddamn freezing it can get around these parts but just objectively and objectionably cold. I hate it when people dismiss temperatures in the 20s (that's Fahrenheit, obviously) as "not that bad"--Fuck you, when condensation chills to
