Weekend Roll Call 12-14-24

A little Maiden this morning ...
Sad news this week that Nicko McBrain has retired from touring.



Sad news for y'all that I woke up really early, can't fall
back to sleep, which means a rambling WRC.

Hey yammers...
Do you really want to drain the swamp?
Or do you just want to let the snake oil guy
keep blowing smoke up your ass?
Ole Luigi has struck a nerve with folks.
Many are embracing this dude, but is it really just the left?
Seems to me that many far right kooks could get down
with this way of thinking as well.
People are sick and tired of corporate, conglomo America
fleecing them out of their hard earned dollars.
This particular situation is completely backasswards though.
Lu was the rich kid afforded the "white privilege," bullshit.
Brian Thompson was the self made guy that came from
a more meager upbringing. Is this going to become a thing?
It is certainly drawing a great deal of press. You gotta think
that at least a few copycats will lust for the Robinhood type
of admiration that Luigi is receiving.

Shits not looking good for Randy Moss.

Weather looks to be a wash out today, so it will be a good time
to take Vaghub to the city, finish up xmas shopping, grab some
lunch and hope to be home to catch the 2nd half of ARMY/navy.
GO ARMY!!
Heisman tonight. I may tune in for the last 5 minutes, but have
no interest in all the yap before hand. Travis Hunter is a lock.

Chiefs have a dog turd against the Browns tomorrow and need to avoid
the trap game. Keep eyes focused on locking up home field, avoid
injuries and try to get guys a little rest. The schedule makers really
fucked KC, Hou, Pitt and Bmore with 3 games in 11 days, all so
Netflix could make a few more $$$.
3pete is only 57 days away.
Many other great games tomorrow with big playoff implications.
Buff/Det, Pitt/Philly, Indy/Denver.




Happy weekend, Y'all.

IN.... NCAA football winding down. Syracuse goes bowling in San Diego. I'm not doing a roadie to it.
My two grandsons visit for a couple days. May hit the beach tomorrow.
Tunes tonight would be cool.

It has been a challenging week for me physically. Recovered from covid only to have my prostate force me to the ER. Still dealing with that, but thankfully it is not acute now

Saratoga Warrier goes for his second victory tomorrow afternoon, he's in the 7th race at Aqueduct against better competition. Looking forward to watching him run, wish I could be there in person.

Christmas is almost here, and I've done very little to get ready. Our four daughters will be here, and that will be an all too rare time for all of us to be together. My wife and I are headed to NOLA soon, she is the co-host of a large Christmass party later tonight.

Speaking of Christmas, watch Alex Lifeson play a Christmas-themed cover of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs:



Made my CFB bowl game guesses earlier, rack 88 for running the contest once again. Gotta get moving, y'all have a good one.

Missed it. Sleeping.

Can verify hurricane winds, though.

Felt/feeling windows shaking.
