DD8…The Ladies Love Him

Thrilling game last night at the arena. Los Doyers debacle shown on the scoreboards prior to the warmups. After that, La-La Land Big-League Ice Hockey skated to a 3-nil lead, which Vancouver chipped away at for the better part of two periods, finally drawing level with 35 secs. left in regulation. Overtime decided nothing, and Tanner Pearson and Peter Budaj were the stars for La-La Land in the shootout. Final score: La-La Land 4, Vancouver/Nootka Island 3. Mistah Drew Doughty here was the game’s Third Star. Continue reading →

You listen to enough Malkmus, you start to understand that much of his source material and subject matter come straight from premium-cable-channel television. He’s rhapsodized about The Wire, The Sopranos, you name it. Here must be his riff on Shameless, we think. As well, this says something about Forgotten America, most likely. Continue reading →

Nocturnal Submission: Freestanding Edition 259

This is like the 2016 presidential race, probably. You defuse the retrograde clown-candidate sensibly, and good-humoredly, with a standard nose-honk, and nearly everybody exhales and goes home happy. The ones who don’t will be tuning-in to a new TV channel in a few months from now. Alas for them, the new channel will not get 36M viewers — not in one night, at least. Oh, well. Also, Ralph Macchio > Chachi Mope. Erin Moran deserved better. Too bad. Continue reading →

Boys & girls! If you thought the races were 100pc crooked, would you wager on them? Or else you drive by a casino, and the sign says ‘Loaded Dice’, ‘Tight Slots’ etc. Do you go in and throw your shekels down? Probably not. But you know what’s worse than that? Complaining the stuff is rigged and then continuing to play anyway! That takes a certain kind of — fill-in-the-two-blanks — privilege! Hoo-boy. Continue reading →

Feel free to appropriate the use of ‘whitebarf.com’ and ‘stormdrain.alt’ — no attribution needed, only virality, like we’d even understand what that is anyway. Continue reading →

The Captain

Regular-season big-league ice hockey returned to La-La Land last night, but the home side did not get one of ’em so-called Hollywood endings; Claude Giroux & The Rest of The Philalala Flyers defeated the Kings, 4-2. It was the season-opener for the winners, and the losers are 0-2 so far. Continue reading →
