The Bachelorette Recap and Power Rankings: Week 3

Posted on May 29, 2012 by

We’re still in Charlotte!  I know that normally they don’t start their world travels until the show gets  a few weeks in, but it is more noticeable when it is in Charlotte than Los Angeles.  I don’t have any great love for LA, but at least the paparazzi there are busy chasing around important people like Kim Kardashian and River Phoenix instead of Emily Maynard.

Mad Men Recap While Drunk 05×11 “The Other Woman”

Posted on May 28, 2012 by

I watch Mad Men and drink and write my thoughts down. Two things!

One, I can’t believe non-coworkers, non-family members (I think it’s non-family members, my Mom could be trolling me through various accounts) positively commentated on last week’s recap saying they enjoy it. Thanks, like, fo’ realz.

Two, this recap is a day late because Memorial Day I was with my family and if there’s one thing you can say about family is that we are related.

I’m drinking Jameson. You know what it looks like. Let’s go. Continue reading →

The Five Worst Things the First World Has Created

Posted on May 22, 2012 by

As society has evolved, we have gradually developed ways to meet our most basic needs and, as we do, we create new needs in order to employ the many millions of people who don’t want to literally hunt or gather and to sell Apple products. In first world countries, where most people’s immediate needs for food and shelter have not been problems for some time, we have added another layer onto Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Mad Men Recap While Drunk 05×10 “Christmas Waltz”

Posted on May 20, 2012 by

I watch Mad Men and drink and write recaps that only make sense if you’ve already seen this particular episode. I missed last week and I apologize, I received one tweet and one text decrying my lack of a recap and that actually made me happy you guys (specifically two of you) care. Continue reading →

Bullpen By Committee Goes Meta! (Not World Peace)

Posted on May 17, 2012 by

Por que Dusty Baker no encanta me?

This week in the bullpen we’re living up to our name and (mostly) discussing all things reliever-related. And by “we,” I mean myself (Andrew) and Colin, because regular contributor Dan is apparently too busy stalking Bryce Harper or mourning this week’s tragic lack of Dayn Perry on Fangraphs Audio to wax philosophic about baseball. I hear David Byrne on the PA system; that must mean Colin’s getting the call. Here he is: Continue reading →

The Bachelorette Recap and Power Rankings: Week 1

Posted on May 16, 2012 by

It’s arrived.  The long off-season that seemed like it would never end finally…ended.  I know some people really like to go for broke in the off-season and take extravagant vacations and broaden their horizons.  I prefer to relax and make sure I’m well-rested for the start of the next season. Don’t get me wrong, I kept busy.  To keep my mind sharp I wrote recaps and power rankings of my weekends.  Fortunately, at least from the perspective of all the geo-cachers and bar skanks I called out, those were left on Hamsterdam’s cutting room floor.

We don’t just cut borderline posts, we shoot them in the head
