Late Thursday Through

Good day, fellow Stroock's Books survivors. As we write this the temp outside is -1 degrees. That would be about 30 in fru-fru Euro-Canadian numbers. But here in America -1 means it's damn cold outside. Fortunately, the air is still. 

NFL...we've never been more meh about a Super Bowl. We think Seattle should be heavily favored. 

Dear idiot HoF voters. Eli Manning is the two-time Super Bowl MVP (see the helmet catch and the Manningham catch) who started 210 consecutive games. Don't think starting 210 consecutive games is a big deal? Ask Cincy QB Joe Burrow about staying healthy.  In 2007 Manning went to Green Bay and beat Bret Favre in sub-zero temps. In 2011 He went to Green Bay again and defeated Aaron Rogers in sub-zero temps - a game in which the Giants were playing the refs too. Manning won two NFC Championship games on the road. As coach Herman Edwards once said, 'You play to win the games!'

NFL HoF voters don't understand the game and should switch to voting on the WNBA or something...

NFL HoF voters are...[Gay and retarded?-Ed] gay and retarded. 

DOGE report.

Once again another frustrating day. Little movement on World War 1990: Thatcher's War. 

We didn't come up with a new story for the 5th nuke novel either. We have two stories we know we want to do. We just don't want to do them right now. 

We did have a good readthrough of the Morning Roary sequel. While the priest is foreshadowed, he still just kind of shows up out of nowhere. What's he doing in those famine era village ruins that Roary and Aoife go to?

One of them Ruski writers said that if a gun is mentioned hanging on a wall at the beginning of a book, then it should be used somewhere in the book. We reverse that. If a gun shows up somewhere in a book, then it should be mentioned at the beginning of the book. 

We have resumed posting on Substack, mostly out of ennui [Again with that word-Ed] and the feeling of doing something productive. We know we've moved merch on Substack. Also we enjoy telling gay and retarded people that they're gay and retarded.
