AFL Beat 2024 – Round 1

I'm going to try a new format this year.

A Thursday Afternoon Carpenter Existential Experience!

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

Your “How the Hell Is it Mardi Gras?” Open Night Chatty-Chat

Seriously. T-Swift can'y even stand yet after post-Owl celebrations her and Travis have been doing, and it's friggin' Lent tomorrow. On Valentine's Day! Anyway, it's Mardi Gras tonight, so NAWLINS had to have been weirder than normal this past weekend/week. I'm grew up Catholic, and now generously describe myself as "lapsed" at

Your 2023 Yinzer Forecast:

I apologize in advance for the litany of "Pickett's charge" memes we may be exposed to going forward. This isn't to say PICKETT'S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style. I honestly have no clue what to make of Kenneth Shane Pickett. He looked fine at times in 2022, after Tomlin wasn't feeling like Kissing

If y'all are not excited about the Women's World Cup, this year, I don't know what's wrong with you. Perhaps you should try some of Hippo's pills. I would have loved to have been there, but real life gets in the way and it's just not possible. I've been to

A Tradition Unlike Any Other (Barf): New Post-COVID (kinda)

Hello, friends. It's a tradition unlike any other. It's The Masters. I'm Jim Nantz, and it's my distinct pleasure to bring you one of the great events in all of sports. It's Augusta National Golf Club, the Mecca of professional golf. The pride, the heritage, the racial purity. Yes, The Masters embodies

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Quarantine Buddies!

No fun facts about music and stuff this week. The big thing at Apartment Weaselo is that Senorita Weaselo's staying the next few days, for the most part. Her family's getting hit with covid. She's fine because she's in the basement, but it means she can't come up for food.

Danger Elbow: A Puppy Injury Tale

I got my first Kai Ken in early 2014. They're a special and exceedingly rare breed of ancient Japanese hunting dog that bond very closely to their owners and otherwise don't want much to do with people. For this reason, they're very hard to re-home and breeders are very selective

In his 2022 World Cup Quarterfinal Open Thread, the esteemed Mr. King Hippo, Esq. came up with a pretty good idea for how to handle the addition of 16 teams for the next World Cup to be hosted in Canadia, México, and the United States in 2026. When you have
