One question: Has anyone watched the "Loki" series yet? Having been raised by comic books, I've been partial to the Marvel movies. (Especially since I've been greatly disappointed by the DC ones.) I want to start, but the only TV we have that is modern enough to allow us to

In one week, we begin the start of "Futbol Summer". I know you've been inundated with a lot of posts about countries you may never have visited. Or have wanted to visit. Even, possibly, been barred from returning to. Disirregardless, even though there are still a few more previews to come for

Two things of note to observe this Victoria Day weekend: Item the First: Since it's tWBS Tribute Week, I know this little Twitter moment would have had him rolling in laughter. https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1395736719190863872 For those of you not up to speed, U*NC (Seamus' preferred nomenclature) revoked a journalism professor's proposed tenure position because of her

Well, we made it through another week. In keeping with my gerenal weekend themes of gifs & videos in lieu of actual words, I raise a glass to one and all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSyB-OIRtR0 As we crawl along towards both summer and the lifting of COVID restrictions, I'm reminded that there are a lot

Well, the third day of the Draft started at noon ET, and this post went up about 5:00 pm ET, so let's hope the tomfoolery is done with. Because it's drinking time! So, let's set the mood. How about a little Sinatra? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbPCvWrJOb0 Perhaps some hors d'oeuvres? Some small bite albóndigas, perhaps? Maybe a

Next week is Day Three of the NFL Draft, and you all know what that means, who will be this year's Mr. Irrelevant? For those of you who forget until the last minute, the concept of Mr. Irrelevant dates back to 1976, when it was invented by former 49er/Colt/Stampeder/Rough Rider Paul Salata,

The title is apropos, since I'm not sure there won't be a second Open Thread that pops up from some online folder. As Sharkbait adequately defined, we've been having some server issues 'round these parts, so we thank you all for your patience as we work through them. Internet Dad is doing

I realize it's a pretty rich statement, coming from a guy who's only been back to work for two weeks after three months off. But we ran out of substitute teachers this week, because illness, and it's not uncommon for the subs to take Spring Break early before shit gets

So, is the AFL on yet? Because I found this doozy of a tweet yesterday. https://twitter.com/Super70sSports/status/1367911467358556163 I am willing to bet that gentleman engaged in some recreational psychedelics from time to time. But it did get my hockey card collecting brain wondering - are there AFL trading cards? Turns out - yes. And they

I'm going to assume this happened because of the [DFO] Mock Draft, because this never comes up (heh) after Sexy Friday. Quite the user requests, from only the finest online "phramacies". Such inventive screen names too, with descending interest of values. The only thing that surprised me was that they didn't
