Your “TWO Tiebreakers?!?” Monday Afternoon Open Thread

Senor Weaselo - October 1, 2018October 1, 2018

The baseball regular season is over and we have our ten teams playing in the postseason. And the American League is nice and cut and dry. Everyone here except for Ian, Horatio, Fronk (I think), Herodotus (I think), and I will be rooting for the Dirt Raiders come Wednesday in

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Go for 3!

Senor Weaselo - June 28, 2018June 28, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, the Dutch had a rough go, Chomp learned about the foibles of technology, and we met a robot that had a… pneumatic fist as its weapon, and the Internets responded as you'd expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDekhoeEoCc Fister Roboto Bale Spear does not make an appearance in

BattleBots Beat: Just How Much Tech Can Be Wrecked?

Senor Weaselo - May 31, 2018May 31, 2018

That's a double meaning in the title, due to my laptop being out of commission. Whoever said "hard drive error," you win! You don't win anything specifically or corporeally, or even my eternal love and admiration and gratitude. Just know that when your Disk Utility notes your S.M.A.R.T. system says

The Return (and Rebranding) of the BattleBots Beat!

Senor Weaselo - May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

A long time ago (2015 does feel like an eternity), the most-recognized American robot fighting tournament came back to TV. Yes, BattleBots came back, and there was much rejoicing. I covered the second season of it for this very website! And by covered it, I mean recapped the already taped

Partying in the Underworld

Senor Weaselo - January 29, 2018January 29, 2018

It's a rainy Sunday noonish, and a man with a violin is finishing his teaching for the day. Yes, of course it's Senor Weaselo, who else would it be? Senor: All right, done for the day. Maybe I'll get a bagel and a haircut? His phone starts ringing and popping up on the

Howdy, lizard people, it's time for another House of Pain with your friendly neighborhood… hold on, I'm getting something in my fake earpiece. …I'm doing what? Are you sure? Me? Okay, just remember who's doing it when it becomes a shitshow! Welp, I've got bad news, this isn't House of Pain, and

2017 Starting Quarterback Songs!

Senor Weaselo - September 6, 2017September 6, 2017

First up, good news. If you don't know by now, being on a football humor site and all, the start of the season is tomorrow! Yes, real football! That means something! Can you believe it? While we've been waiting for real football, my baseball-watching hours (and they are numerous… hey, stop

Boots on the Ground at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo 2: Fear the Reaper

DFOing Good

Senor Weaselo - May 4, 2017May 4, 2017

(Electric Boogaloo didn't quite cut it, nor did The Quickening. Maybe Back 2 Tha Hood but that doesn't work for Greenpoint, too hipster… where was I? Oh yeah.) So another year, another expo, another evening and following day of gastrointestinal discomfort, all that good stuff. I don't have to give as

House of Pain with Senor Weaselo: Kiss the Curb

Senor Weaselo - April 17, 2017April 16, 2017

Haldo, we're back by not-that-popular demand! I'm still Senor Weaselo, and this is still House of Pain where I eat hot sauces normal sane people probably shouldn't, because I'm neither normal nor sane! Last time I went on about the hot sauce that started this whole shebang many years ago. This time
