The first time I saw them was before Printer’s Devil — 2017 or 2018 — and they were just a baby band. They’re a force now. It’s nice to see because they seem like such nice people.

Ratboys have been better every time I’ve seen them. They put out a very good record last month and they know it — in a good way. The self assurance plays well onstage.

Gonna need to see Kyle Teel housing espresso in the Italian dugout pronto.

He didn’t say they were friendly people.

I also thought they'd go undefeated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: 

Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A!
I ate a hamburger and said hooray!
Maybe it will happen today!
 
The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. 

You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

Ted Leo's The Hanged Man. The Kickstarter for it was kind of a disaster -- I wasn't sure I was ever even getting the record! -- but the album has legs and Ted is still and will always be a fav.

The Ben Folds Five reunion album (Sound of the Life of the Mind) didn't have the juice.

We could be such a great country if we just chose to give a shit about the citizens.

Mark Warner and Tim Kaine will confirm him so hard.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

There wasn't anything in the story that shocked me if one already knew the broad strokes of what happened before reading.

This has been my least favorite UVa wbb season since Mox took over, and I think it's mostly that additional exposure makes me less confident in her.
