Looks like SNL has their cold open this week. Sometimes, I wish I had an "adult character in Peanuts" audio filter to drown out some voices on TV. Maybe I should just invest in a trumpet.

It's been done.

Just today I got an email from DCU practically screaming at me to "lock in" my season ticket for 2026. Never mind that I haven't had a season ticket for almost 20 years now; I've never been less inclined to give them my money, then this news emerges. No fucking chance. This club is a farce.

The world's oldest Quentin Blake illustration.

I'll be damned; I actually got the PenFed trivia question right. #ALLCAPS

I have a friend who won tickets to tonight's Caps game, but was going to stay in to study for an important test. They made the right decision. #ALLCAPS

Trying out a Halloween gag name again; no one got it the first time, but that was back on Twitter.

The only comedy, or bravery, I've ever seen on this show is when the Roots played Michele Bachmann onto the stage with "Lyin' Ass Bitch" by Fishbone. The chickenshit Fallon threw Questlove under the bus afterward as well.

Last year I went to only my second DCU match at Audi; we gave up a 2-goal lead to the Union and limped to a draw on a miserable night of rain. After seeing the current scoreline, that result was a bargain.

I feel like I need to pull up sometime soon and pour one out as near to Section 120 as soon as possible.

Christmas came a bit early.

Me being born:

Last night, I had a trivia question about this; in the notes was the usual "conservatives hate DEI" line, and a bit about the DNC tweeting "we think it sucks too". It's nice to know the "opposition" is not only fighting a dumb culture war, but fighting it FOR the assholes that started it.

Big Stoke and Josh Fuller? It's a Nova Pro reunion! #AEWCollision

Here's a sobering reminder of my advancing age; while I'm listening to the new Clipse album like I'm in my 20s, ad advert for Mutual of Omaha comes on, and I see that I'm at the minimum age to qualify for their life insurance.

Yes, this is actual sad news. "Feels So Good" has always been the shit.

I had a great joke at trivia tonight that no one got. There was a question about "I Am Legend", and a note about Will Smith watching "Shrek" to combat loneliness. My joke was that "Shrek" was a better choice for him to watch than "Madagascar".

Busch Gardens is hot as balls. I may break down and get on a water ride just to cool down.

Shanghai Dune?

If you see this, quote post with a robot that isn't from Star Wars. Star Trek, Doctor Who and Transformers.

Final score; 44 points, good for 3rd place, but I tied with a team of eight. They thought I was local, so they gave me the $10 gift card.

If it's Tuesday night, then I'm at Murphy's for trivia... except it's at Virginia Beach. Time to see how my Tidewater counterpart holds up.

Made it to Virginia Beach. 460 remains depressing.

It's been done. www.instagram.com/reel/DAmq2bJ...

Didn't Gary Neville already introduce this foolishness into the world?

@goonersgirl008.bsky.social Excalibur just said "a rainy night in Stoke"!

What in the 2001 XFL is this shit?

Alison Starling of Channel 7 held the door open for me at my kids' school after a 5th-grade orchestra concert.

Anyone else find it odd that România's keeper is named Moldovan? He's off by just a few miles. #AUTROU

Okay, so I'm watching an episode of "Batman" with Vincent Price as Egghead and Anne Baxter as a "Cossack queen" (?) stealing radium to hatch a dinosaur egg. Please tell me this is how Michael Crichton got the idea for "Jurassic Park".

There is a wild swing between the extremely sharp and occasionally filthy humor of "The Golden Girls" and the previews of bland, bleached, milquetoast Hallmark Channel movies during commercial breaks. I don't think they actually know what they're airing.

If Michele Kang is thinking of renaming the Spirit, she must be fuming that "Pride" is already taken.

The only Pope I recognize; Edward XXIII.

For fuck's sake, Caps.

If this goes to a Game 5, I will pay good money for the Capital One Arena media team to play Fishbone's "Let Dem Ho's Fight" before the first faceoff. #ALLCAPS

That may be the first time I've ever heard an intermission interview get bleeped out. Turn that energy into goals, please. #ALLCAPS

Switching from DCA to say this, but I do not like this P*rt*y news for many reasons, but especially the big one. Even one more year is just too much. Cut him loose, for fuck's sake.

There it is. Ovi is the king. Having his leg broken this season only set up destiny perfectly. That said, McBain can still eat shit. #ALLCAPS

Holy shit. I seriously never thought anyone would get close to Gretzky. He's just about there. #ALLCAPS

I just went to a CVS with a street preacher on the corner outside; when I stepped inside, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was playing. There's a message in there somewhere.

This commentary for Spirit v Current is Fox-level terrible. Of course Dellacamera's involved.

Mebane, NC to Arlington is just about a straight shot northeast, so naturally any packages sent that way through FedEx must go to Hagerstown, MD first. It's only logical that it should go completely out of the way in another direction and hang out for days before being thrown at my door.

From the outside, it looks like the tent that Cavalia uses for their shows, so this is appropriate as both structures would be full of horseshit.

Ready and waiting for puck drop.

So Adrien Brody does a good line in "-ists", apparently.

Halle Berry needs to stop playing with my emotions, dammit. #Oscars

Top Gear already did this, and probably better. James May should sue.

I'll be damned, the Wizards won, and I saw it live. Another collector's item, along with the reversible baseball shirts.

I've never seen the big screen "thing" this low to the court before.
