Geilfuss is Balding!!!



 I've been working remotely for just over a month now. That, of course, means I've been working from coffee joints and bars with decent WiFi. And  at the bars there are always lots of TV's tuned to silly sports chat shows where grown men scream at each other all day about the most innocuous topics. Things like, is Tom Brady the GOAT of all GOATS? Is Coach K a pedophile? Are the Sixers the favorites in the East? I can't figure out why they scream over these topics. Who watches this? I'm at a loss.

Other TV's at these bars are tuned to CNN or Fox News for some reason. And I've noticed the last few days that there is some big impeachment thing happening in the US Senate. I think they are impeaching the guy who used to be on Celebrity Apprentice. Evidently a group called the Proud Guys rioted  last month because the Celebrity Apprentice guy lost an election. That struck me as odd, as I would think a group called the Proud Guys would be advocates of the old dark anal arts and thus not particularly fans of the Celebrity Apprentice guy. To each his own, I guess.

There's video on CNN right now showing the Proud Guys scrapping with law enforcement last month. They look completely disorganized. What a poorly conceived plan. They had no chance to succeed. Although, come to think of it, I can't figure out what the Proud Guys would have considered a success anyway. Perhaps lynching Nancy Pelosi? What a bunch of fools. They're going to spend decades in jail at best. They could also be hung for treason. Dumb Dumbs.


I did read where our old friend, one Joe Biden of Scranton, PA (shout out to Pam Beasley) and the medically induced boners is now the great leader of the country. I wish him nothing but the best. I did see an article on my Google feed that noted that Joe keeps bowls full of boner medication in the Oval Office. Bowls of them. Big perk for our new hero.

Speaking of the Google feed, it really is terrible. It's supposed to give you stories on things you're interested in, at least I think that's the concept. It fails. I get updates on the Atlanta Hawks, Texas Rangers, Oakland A's, Michigan football and basketball, politics, and random stories on actors I've never heard of. Those are all things I'm not remotely interested in being updated on. It's highly annoying.

I had occasion to catch up with Geilfuss last August. It was a terribly sad occasion, as one of my favorite people on earth passed away -Mama Stills. I went over to Towson to pay respects, and try and console Andy and Mary. Anyway, Geilfuss did the same. And I learned one vital thing as we hung out at what used to the Turquoise Terrapin, that Geilfuss is going bald. Seriously. He was so upset about it that he cried for several hours. Poor kid. He can't catch a break. He finally has a respectable, stable job and poof! he's going bald. 

Andy, Geilfuss, Mark of Jacoby fame, and I did stop in Get Bent Lounge for old time's sake. George wasn't there. That was disappointing, as I wanted to mock him for the first time in 8 and 1/2 years. Anyway, we had two rounds of car bombs and left. I'm told I got back my hotel that night by Creech driving me there. And you know I had to be hammered drunk to allow Creech to drive me anywhere. The kid seemed less sketchy than back 11, 12 years ago. So that's something I guess.

Speaking of the Jacobys,  Mark's twin Luke, took the plunge and got hitched a few months back. And much respect to Luke. He's the only one of the old trivia players who has had the balls to marry. Except Danny - he has the most awesome wife you could ever imagine. The rest of us are still single. Hell, I'm 50 now (that's depressing to type...) and still unmarried. Good luck to Luke. As I've said before, he's one of the best people you will ever meet. He has been calling me periodically during this virus shit to be sure I'm okay. And I'm really trying to hang in there. But I'm lonely as hell. It's tough. I feel like the folks having it real bad (except the folks who have died obviously) are those of us who live alone and can't go into the office to at least have some social interaction. It's terrible. The only people I interact with are drunk barflies around town. Mostly old timers to boot. Did I mention it's terrible?

Speaking of the virus shit, many of the old timer barflies around town insist it's a hoax. That doesn't seem possible, but to each his own. Free speech, blah blah blah. I know several people who have had loved ones die from it. Tell them it's a hoax.

This whole post seems like incoherent rambling, right? Same as ever...

I will try and not go a year and a half between posts again. Of course that's better than a 5 year gap I guess.

Ain't got no weed to roll. Ain't got no Swishers.
