Normally I am more attracted to petite girls. But every now and again I find myself looking slightly upwards and thinking... yeah ok, fine by me. Let's do this. Never happens, though. Most tall girls don't like it when they're taller than their date. Trust me. Meh, you can't have everything. Climbing

...Same as the first. Perhaps I'm getting old and predictable. But with less than a month left in the NFL post-season we gotta get it in while we still can. I had considered waxing philosophic tonight about that orange guy at 1600 who is about to get us into a major "conflict"

Yup. Wildcard Weekend is upon us. Easy there. I know it's exciting, but be careful. Don't hurt yourself or you'll end up in the blue tent. My Ratbirds finished in a big way, so they don't even have to play this weekend. 14-2 Baybeeeeee!!!!! Sorry, gotta get it in before they get upset at

Balls on…The College Football Playoff

We just recently finished the semifinals and are eagerly awaiting the final and I don't think everyone is happy. This is where I usually come in. Let's just say the Balls-Signal went out. As usual, I will come in and either fix things or make them worse with everyone complaining about

Balls on… Miss Universe

ballsofsteelandfury - December 16, 2019December 15, 2019

Some of you may have heard about the latest controversy surrounding the Miss Universe pageant and pageants in general. To be fair, the whole concept of a beauty pageant is, in my opinion, akin to the concept of a college football national champion being crowned by secret votes and

Good morning everyone! Today is the first day this fall without any college football! No, Army-Navy doesn't count as football. It's on par with Russian military parades and North Korean Dear Leader rallies as far as the propaganda machine goes. So, I am completely ignoring it and focusing on the

Our resident Sexy Friday writer, TWBS, is indisposed at the moment and so he asked in the back room if anyone wanted to take over today's Open Thread. Naturally, I volunteered. Someone else also volunteered, but I made the argument that this is no regular Open Thread, this is SEXY

OK. Not to sound too maudlin, but this will be my father's fifth dead Christmas. He went out in the spring of '15. Shit happens. I like flowers. (I'm not gay, you're gay) ((not that there's anything wrong with that)) But every year we go and visit his (and other dead folks') graves and put

ballsofsteelandfury - December 4, 2019December 3, 2019

The draw took place yesterday even though we already knew which groups most teams would be in. How does that happen, you say? Well, CONMEBOL decided to invite Australia and Qatar to this year's version of the Copa América. Yes, we just had one this year. We're having another one. This new

The draw took place last Saturday even though not all teams have been determined. How does that happen, you say?

I don't have anything meaningful to say today. I'd like to think of something to write about. But here we are less than an hour before post time and I got absolutely nothing. I ate too much yesterday. I plan to drink too much tonight. Christmas tree and other assorted decorational shit has
