Welcome to my last post of the year. I asked Seamus if he wouldn't mind switching with me, and he readily agreed since it's taking longer than he expected to get the squirrel piss out of the carpet. #thoughtsandprayers I will be away from the #content mines for a couple of weeks.

I tried to find a different masthead for tonight, so I went to the well of Americana I tend to dip into, and found something so shocking to my 21st century eyes I could scarcely believe it. What the fuck is that guy looking at? It looks like Jackson Pollock ate

So tonight is WineWife's Office Christmas party. We've all been down that road before - the +1 to a partner's corporate function. It's so much worse when you are the invitee, because there's some sort of higher expectation for both bad and good behaviour. The co-workers all want to see

Some might say I'm an hour late. I might say I got invited to an all-day college football drinking party, so kiss my arse. Really - it's 50/50 as to who is at fault for why this post is on time versus an hour early like I regularly schedule it.

So, my brother is at the Notre Dame - USC game in South Bend tonight. Beerbrother was invited to give a speech there yesterday, and instead of a per diem he accepted tickets to the game. I asked him if he spit on the Joe Theismann statue, and he responds

It was a fairly long week at school. Cold & flu season has begun in earnest, combined with the calendar making Canadian Thanksgiving a week later than normal. The result was certain of my co-workers taking their sick days earlier than normal, and the site being shortstaffed to the point

Good evening Commentists & Commentettes, It's your old pal Beerguy with another easy listening Saturday night for your enjoyment. Tonight, in honour of Peter Cetera turning 75, we're going to be working our way through the early Chicago catalogue.

The first week is over and boy-howdy am I ready for some hard drinking. I so far have registered 30 at-risk students in my program. That's more than double last year's first-week total, and is already close to the point where I will have to close registration because I don't

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9nySVFw6xs It's been a strange week, so let's start the night with a little bro-country. Cory Marks started as Cory Marquardt from North Bay, Ontario, but then he signed a US contract & now he's "Cory Marks". I'll let you guys discuss the merits of Country Music. Me - I enjoy some;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc7dmu4G8oc I've never made it a secret that The Kinks are my favourite band and the first concert I ever attended. It's the 50th anniversary of this album, and the $160 vinyl box set that came out is on my Christmas wish list the second it gets transferred to digital or

Nope, no football tonight. More or less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJcwqyhUtH0 OK, calm down, don't cry. There actually is if you want it badly enough. The FCS quarterfinals do continue tonight with the #16 Kennesaw State Owls facing the #5 Sam Houston State BearKats. But that's on ESPN3 though (8:30pmEST), so I say screw that game.
