This started as a jovial litle blog abouf Soccer, NASCAR, F1. But due to thei recemt ele ction that brought Donald Trunp and horrible minions back into power, it's become sowthing a bit more vicious than it was.
THIS is why I hate Science Fiction!! I get comments from friends (and imaginary friends) about why I only write about soccer (mostly) and NASCAR (somewhat) and Formula 1 (not often enough) instead of other subjects of alleged interest (besides dignity, style and culture, of course). Why don’t I write more about science fiction,…
Reading 2 Chelsea 2 It’s been said that dogs can take on the characteristics and personality of their owner, and I think there’s a home truth to that. What other explanation can there be for Chelsea’s performances of late? Those Capital One Cup matches with Swansea; last Sunday’s FA cup…
Norwich City 0 Luton Town 1 This afternoon (or morning, as it was for me here in Wisconsin), my Canaries went down to a historic defeat in front of their home crowd at Carrow Road. it was a giant killing of historic proportions. Not since 1989 has a Premier League squad been…
Liverpool 5 Norwich City 0 Chelsea 2 Southampton 2 Yes. I know. I promised not to allow any sort of football-related matters to cloud or diffuse, or in any way alter what has been intended to be an all-motorsports post. Pre-Season Thunder has already come and gone at Daytona with the first round of…
Stoke City 0 Chelsea 4 After enduring the horrid 2-0 drubbing at the hands of Swansea in the opening Capitol One Cup draw, at home, at The Bridge, I am sure most Chelsea fans, myself included would have felt a certain trepidation ahead of Saturday’s Premier League tilt with Stoke City, at…
Chelsea 0 Swansea 2 When asked what I thought about last Wednesday’s Capitol One Cup semi-final tilt between Chelsea and Swansea, I said that watching that match was very much like watch THIS video over and over again for 90 minutes straight with the volume and treble turned up all the way: That…
O’Keefe’s House of Hamburg, Milwaukee WI, 01.05.13 The Dairyland BJD Holiday Frolic 2013 was held this weekend at O’Keefe’s House of Hamburg in Milwaukee WI. In lieu of the larger Winter Meetup’s we’ve had in the past, we scaled down to a more intimate event at smaller venue. Attendance was 60 on the dot ((an…
“2012 revisited…..” Immanual Kant wrote that morality is not the doctrine of how we make ourselves happy. Rather, morality has more to do, all to do, with how we make ourselves worthy of happiness. As the year draws to a close, I wonder if by that definition, I’m immoral…have been immoral. No I don’t wonder…
Leeds United 1 Chelsea 5 Chelsea 8 Aston Villa 0 The orders were hooped up to Rafa Benitez somewhere between Leeds and Wakefield. I can almost imagine one of Roman Abramovich’s minions hiding the weeds across from Thorpe Wood hooping the orders up and getting his arm torn off in the…
Corinthians 1 Chelsea 0 A pal of mine, down at my local pub, The Grumpy Troll, noticed my Chelsea cap yesterday and congratulated me and Chelsea for winning. He was referring to the Club World Cup in Tokyo over the weekend of course, and had the well-intentioned, but misguided notion that Chelsea had…
In 2023, Chelsea’s newest owner becomes bored with his team winning everything. He decides to try his hand with NASCAR. Imagine that. The post-Roman Abramovich era. It will be upon us someday, hopefully not soon, assuming the inherent dysfunction amongst the board and middle management gets corrected. But what will be our fate when…
Rafa OUT??? What the hell did I do to piss everyone off?? I should not write a thing at the moment. I’m just too pig-biting mad! But, I’ve never let the facts get in the way of the truth, so why stop now. And as for facts, while I’ve never actually read Thomas Pynchon’s The…
Juventus 3 Chelsea 0 Let me get this out of the way straight up. Zero is not always the coolest number. That is one of the many concepts of zero. There are more concepts of zero than you can imagine. And more of them are being discovered everyday. And if you want to…
Rangers 2 Peterhead 0 Celtic 2 Barcelona 1 I normally don’t give much of a toss about Scottish football, to be honest; except for the Scottish 3rd Division which features the only English team to play in a Scottish league: Berwick Rangers from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. I have a fondness for Berwick and follow what…
