Wednesday Motivational: Xmas Music Special

Don T - December 20, 2023December 20, 2023

Hello hello. Happy Holidays, which I wish earnestly. Not everybody celebrates Christmas, but nobody is clear from its tornado of consumerism and reliculous traditions. Stores get crowded, traffic gets worse and everywhere you go, there it is, again: Xmas music, melodious browbeating of JESUS, BUY, CHRIST, PAY, LORD and so

The Cozy Simplicity of Crises: a Wednesday Motivational

Don T - October 5, 2022October 5, 2022

Let’s assume, just for a moment, that you are impatient or neurotic (quite a stretch, oh yeah). Imagine you are hungry and you extend an invitation to a friend or loved one for grabbing a bite wherever. And the very worst thing possible happens: “I dunno. Where do you want to

A Weather So Cold It Would Stare At You And Wave “Go” With Its Hand: Tuesday Open Thread

Don T - November 16, 2021November 18, 2021

I spent most of last week until yesterday in the United States and got to experience cold weather AND daylight savings time in the flesh. As I now sit at home shirtless with the fan on, I can say in good faith: I Feel Ya I will never complain again about NFL games starting

Commentist Beer Barrel: Heineken

Don T - December 6, 2019December 6, 2019

Heineken is an amoral mercantile outfit that appropriated the Red Star. Still, please: put down your pitchforks and torches, because I like their beer. Per Wikipedia: Heineken Lager Beer (Dutch: Heineken Pilsener)—wait. Is Heineken a Pilsener or lager? The bottle says “lager”, which settles the issue. At least for me, because I’m not

A lot to unpack there! First, hey Fox: fuck you for the misspelling. I’m gonna speculate that the graphics guy was an older feller who thought “Sounds like Torretta, Ruthless Posse WOOO”, and didn’t name check out of self-satisfaction (“I can’t be racist, I know Italians!”). Too much? Listen, you misspell

Both teams are 2-3, and fill the bottom half of the lowest wattage division in the NFL. Luck is out. Mariota (hamstring - questionable) says he'll go--i.e., Cassel is definitely in the mix. But enough table-setting. This is my position on "Pfft, baseball's on" taeks: Artist's lesss handome conception via lolafilms.com IND-TEN is

Boots On The Ground: Hurricane María

DFOing Good

Don T - September 29, 2017November 21, 2017

On Sept. 20 María, category 5 (the highest), tore through Puerto Rico with winds over 175 mph. I took this picture when the storm was leaving; both 25 ft. palm trees were uprooted to the left, and fronds are blowing to the right. Hurricane María parked, in the middle of Puerto
