Banner Madness 2020: Not Dead Edition

Senor Weaselo - March 12, 2020March 11, 2020

Alternately, still dead edition. Because yesterday was a shit hit the fan day. The New York public college systems suspended class, the NBA is on hiatus—TOM HANKS. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE TOM HANKS FROM US, CORONAVIRUS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THAT MAN OUGHT TO BE ETERNAL. But anyway, today covers

Banner Madness 2020: II-2 (Second Round, Day 2)

Senor Weaselo - March 11, 2020March 11, 2020

The BLEERGH Regional had some drama. I mean a serious chunk of drama. How so? Well, let's check below. 29. “THIS GUY TUUKKA RASK, I CALL HIM AN IUD BECAUSE NOBODY IS SCORING WHILE HE’S IN POSITION!” beats 31. “My lifelong dream is to become a kept man.” 18-17. 60. “The way the Jets

2020 Banner Madness: It’s the Second Round!

Senor Weaselo - March 10, 2020March 9, 2020

Hey, it's the thing the title said! Yeah, one round done and the nice thing is that it's not mid-March and it hasn't been a slog and we can hammer out the second round in four days and be at our Salty 16 while we're still wondering why the First

2020 Banner Madness, End of 1st Round

Senor Weaselo - March 8, 2020March 7, 2020

That's a nice thing to see, that we've separated the wheat from the other wheat (I'm pretty sure nothing that makes the banner is chaff, or else it wouldn't have made it in the first place) and can finish off a round. And that's always exciting, right? Plus personally I've

2020 Banner Madness, Day 7

Senor Weaselo - March 7, 2020March 6, 2020

Two days left in the round, and we can spend time debating the spelling of SHAN'KHOR while we're at it. It's the SHAN'KHOR Regional, that's why! (All I know is this is the original spelling from the ancient runes and thus the one used.) Now if someone could tell be

2020 Banner Madness, Day 6

Senor Weaselo - March 6, 2020March 5, 2020

Or, the bottom half of the BOLTMAN Regional. I don't know what else to say, but let's see what I have to do with the word count first. 15. "11 days to make it just one round—what are we, Sarah Huckabee Sanders' belt?!" vs. 24. "French construction workers will always do

2020 Banner Madness, Day 5

Senor Weaselo - March 5, 2020March 4, 2020

OOOOOOOHHHH YEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHH, it's time for the BOLTMAN Regional. *femur drums fly open* Incidentally I know exactly one of the banners' authors beforehand, and naturally that one (mine) got fucking trounced. Well played, whoever wrote the other one. I can cross-reference, but it's late and I don't want to, and even if I

2020 Banner Madness, Day 4

Senor Weaselo - March 4, 2020March 3, 2020

Rockingdog may be asking, "If this coronavirus gets out of hand, will they still play the March Madness NCAA basketball tournament even though there may be no one in the stands?" But we forge on, disease or no disease. Take that, multi-billion dollar organizations that should be considered national disgraces

2020 Banner Madness, Day 3

Senor Weaselo - March 3, 2020March 2, 2020

And thus we move to the first round of the BLEERGH Regional. For all hail the BLEERGH Regional. It was the BLEERGH Regional, after all, that Sharkbait's comment last year came out of. Granted, being the top overall seed meant it had the first choice of regional names. As opposed

Your 2020 Banner Madness Day 2 Thread

Senor Weaselo - March 2, 2020March 1, 2020

Don't ask me to come up with more creative things. I don't know how BrandyBroBrady does it. But anyway, we continue in the GAMBLOR Regional with the other half of the bracket. At the least it means the first round'll go 8 days and not forever. Also looking at it

Banner Madness 2020: Yes, It’s Happening Again

Senor Weaselo - March 1, 2020February 29, 2020

Yes, it's back, and not even in pog form! Who remembers last March where this was a staple every day, running me a little ragged and inadvertently flooding the site with more #content? (Which is why I originally wanted to put them on the sidebar, but it got bumped to

Your Still in March Unveiling of the Banner Tournament Authors and Champion!

Banner Tournament

Senor Weaselo - March 31, 2019March 31, 2019

What the above said, which is why this is being posted now. It's still March! But first things first, the final results, since it is the final. Drum roll please? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYThjIe3IBo That is a weak timpani solo, as when I played it it was an entire cadenza, but let's try that again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzAfTmC3It0 Your
