Saturday Shorties

Continuing the white-guy funk festival theme, I saw Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue at a small venue on Thursday night (I'm the white guy in this case, though several members of Shorty's terrific band are also caucasoids). The video below isn't the best quality, but it'll give you a decent sense of the vibe at a Shorty show. Two paws way up - see the man if he comes to a town near you.



And my own little shorty turns 6 whole years old today. Two paws up for her, too.

  1. i don't know if this is a great minds thing, or if i should be worried, but i had exactly the same thought as dave regarding the australian short-track skating uniform. i even spent a few minutes trying to figure out the design inspiration.

  3. Cute kid. Probably already taller than her Dad.

    Also, this has to be the worst winter I've ever experienced in Florida. Far colder for far longer stretches than anything I've ever seen or felt. It's currently 45 degrees and pouring fucking rain. Hey, at least Spring Training is only a week away.

  4. mason loses to northeastern. tribe clinches a first round tourney bye with a win over uncw or a vcu loss combined with a drexel win.

  5. Told my friend to grab me one of whatever he was getting at the bar last night. A "margatini" was what he brought back. I mocked him. And drank it. It's pretty much a glass of tequila. And then I had 6 more. And then apparently I was abducted by aliens because it all goes blank for a while. Beware this cocktail.

    It's taking a lot of PBR's to come back from that today.

  6. was your butt sore this morning?

    ReplyDelete
  7. or even worse, was your mouth sore?

  8. Yes, did the aliens gang-probe you?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well, my digestive system has flown by "not quite right" and landed somewhere near "downright awful." I'm fairly certain I got an alien anal probe. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

  10. On the topic of gross drinks that are sneaky awesome, the Mangy Moose, the big après ski joint in Jackson Hole, has a bourbon and bacon shot. You suck the bacon, shoot a delicious smoky bourbon, and then eat the bacon. It was very very tasty. I will forward on the name of the bourbon if I remember b/c it's one of the best I've ever had.

  11. VCU giving the Monarchs all they can handle. The press has ODU befuddled. Tribe not happy.

    ReplyDelete
  12. tribe actually is happy. vcu win and tribe win = 3 seed for tribe.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 'course, that assumes the tribe beats uncw. which, given the tribe's history, is anything but a safe assumption.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wait, I thought we were rooting for a VCU loss? You never faxed me my quick reference guide for Impact on the Tribe's Tourney Seeding.

    ReplyDelete
  15. vcu loss would mean 4 seed with tribe win or with tribe loss + drexel win. my brain hurts.

    ReplyDelete
  16. make that 3 seed with tribe win and 4 with tribe loss + drexel win. fuck it, the tribe needs to win.

    ReplyDelete
  17. if the tribe wins, they tie mason at 12-6 and get the 3 seed based on their win over the patriots.

    if the tribe loses:

    if drexel wins, the tribe, drexel, and vcu are all tied at 11-7 and the tribe gets the 4 seed based on their 3-1 record vs. vcu & drexel. vcu would be the 5 and drexel the 6.

    if drexel loses, the tribe would be tied with vcu at 11-7. the tribe would be the 5 seed based on vcu's better record vs. odu.

  18. I will go out on a (historically sturdy) limb and call the Tribe loss right now.

  19. And big ups to Bruce Pearl for letting Stevie Wonder pick his clothes for him.

  20. Is The Teej excited for tonight's Big East showdown?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cuse/Nova in a few gents...very excited.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mark. Wow. Get outta my brain.

  23. Shitty loss by Florida today in Athens.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Bob Knight loves Andy Rautins. All these guys do. It's an Andy Rautins lovefest.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Tribe will be 11. Cuse looking crisp. Good times.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The Jets are going to cut Thomas Jones. I think NE will go after him before Tomlinson and whatever other running back detritus is out there.

    ReplyDelete
  27. So, the Tribe gets the three seed and a first round bye for sure?

    And I am going to be on a flight home from Chicago for the USA v canada game today so I'm going to miss all of the excitement. Bummer!

  28. Jason Richardson, you are the bama of the week.

    ReplyDelete
  29. usa for the tie! hell yeah.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have never been more excited for a hockey goal in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  31. One more thing: USA! USA! USA!

  32. Ignorant question: Sudden death all the way or crappy shootouts after a period or two?

    ReplyDelete
  33. 4 on 4 for 20 minutes. If nobody scores, it goes to shootout.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I feel like the third Budweiser I cracked pushed Team USA over the top.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not a fan of the shootout format. I would hunker down and watch for hours. Sudden death hockey is one of the coolest things in sports.

    ReplyDelete
  36. And I like the way you think, Mark. I am enjoying the St. George Nut Brown again. The underdog brew.

    ReplyDelete
  37. obama bet canadian prime minister harper a case of beer on the hockey game. that's change we can all believe in.

  38. I'm sorry Rob, could you repeat that? I'm having trouble understanding you with the First Penis in your mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yep, so was mine.

    The Russian national anthem is so much better than ours.

    ReplyDelete
