Simon has grown on me.

Victor might actually have a chance to see playing time now and if we have injuries at WR, he could see lots of playing time. If simplesimon ends up being right, there will be snowballs in hell and pigs flying.

(Speaking of comedies, has anyone seen The Death of Stalin? Srsly, the director played it as a black farce, and the few clips I've seen on the Net are piss-your-pants hilarious....)

I’ve seen it and you’re right, it is hilarious.

Victor's working out with Lamar, which is a good sign and something He Who Shall Not Be Named never did.

Death of Stalin is good, along with everything Ianuuci has ever been involved with from the Thick of It to his sketch shows and radio comedies.

From what I hear, Steve Buscemi considered Nikita Khrushchev his dream role. From what I saw in the clips, he fucked it up totally. I didn't see a single moment when he was the least bit funny. He really needed another 50 kg and a half-dozen planetary-extinction-level warts to warrant a slot in the group photo atop Lenin's tomb. (YMMV)

Unless he was putting someone into an ignoratory (which will actually need an ignoratorium at some point), that wasn't our Loba.

Blind squirrels, broken clocks and throwin' shit against the wall to see what sticks and all that rigmarol.

Anything halfway interesting happen in the meantime?

Wonky? That's one way of describing the back and forth.

You missed six Free Talk Friday updates about weekend plans, honey do lists, and food and drink predilections. That's about it. What have you been up to, Dr. Lobav'?

I think I meant "hinky". Like, text color was the same as background color so I couldn't read any of the posts. I've never tested positive for Miz Rona but dang if I don't feel like I'm stumbling thru a SanFran-level brain fog most daze.

Trying to get a whole passle of small shit out of the way so I can decamp round about Memorial Day to Prague for a couple of weeks to see friends for the first time in 3 years. Oh yeah, and

drink LOTS of Czech beer!
