There’s a storm brewin’

🚨 A Storm Team 15 Weather Alert! 🚨

If that crazy, fat, bald, old man who lives alone in his creepy basement apartment has seemed extra irritable lately, it’s not only because he’s been getting his teeth kicked in on Twitter every day (although that’s 99% of the reason). It’s also because his rheumatism is probably acting up due to the impending Nor’easter (that and his eleven meniscus surgeries).

Nor’easter Preparedness Tips:

  • Stock Up on the 4 B’s: Beer, Bread, Batteries and Beer
  • Secure the Exterior: Bring patio furniture, garbage cans, and any small children indoors
  • Protect Windows: Baseball season isn’t over, but it might be time to install the storm windows
  • Clear Drainage: Send your wife up the ladder to clean out the gutters and downspouts
  • Vehicle Prep: Keep your gas tank full. Remember, much like your beer fridge: “half full is empty”
  • Check on Your Elderly Neighbors: They may have some extra beer
Hang in there

Stay safe, keep your paws dry, and remember: if the house blows away, you still have eight lives left.

Football Cat’s Week 2 NFL Picks 2026

Free what?

A statement for immediate release from New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium Owner Robert Kraft…


🚨 LOCAL MUSICIANS WANTED 🚨

Are you looking to add fulfillment to your dull, dull life?

Do you possess an instrument, a pulse, and absolutely zero financial ambitions?

Do you know how to keep your opinions to yourself?

Brilliant! Because we have the perfect opportunity for YOU! We are putting together a band to open for legendary singer songwriter and all around mensch, Mr. Ed Sheeran on September 25th and 26th. Our previously booked act, a highly unprofessional meshugener schmuck, tragically canceled on us. That putz’s loss is your golden opportunity!

What We Offer
Unparalleled Exposure: Play for a stadium full of people that was expecting someone else entirely!
The Thrill of the Rescue: Bask in the heroic glory of saving our event from absolute disaster.
Complimentary Air: Breathe all the ambient oxygen you want while on stage.
Free Refreshments: A half-empty cooler of lukewarm Gatorade awaits you backstage, plus one (1) complimentary bologna sandwich after your performance is complete. (NOTE: The sandwich will only be available on night two.)

What We Need
Anyone who can carry a tune, hold a beat, or at least look convincing pretending to do so. Someone with absolutely no opinions on anything, especially regarding an obscure ongoing minor dispute in the Middle East. A performer with a deep, spiritual understanding that “art is its own reward” – because you won’t be getting paid.

If this sounds like you, please bring your gear and your talent down to One Patriot Place. We will supply the mandatory blue square pin.
