WRUP IF

Hey everyone it's me, Scrooloose, and welcome to another WRUP. The Olympics are in full swing and aside from some questionable judges scoring choices things are mostly going smoothly, as it would appear from the outside anyway. That's not to say we're not seeing controversy. The very first team ski jumping event has seen five women disqualified due to suit infractions. The measurements for the jump suits must not exceed four centimeters from the body and it seems that some have gone past the mark. It turns out those ski jumpers come to the games with seamstresses/ers that will make adjustments on the day of the jump to make sure things fit as bodies change from day to day. It's evidently a pretty tight metric to follow. Read more

All Sorts of WRUP

Welcome to a sports heavy February and this weeks WRUP. It's Bengals VS Rams for the Superbowl at Los Angeles this year. I haven't watched a spot of football during the season but I always watch the big event. Speaking of big events, the entire world is on stage for the Winter Olympics in Beijing. After a fairly lackluster opening ceremony last night I'm interested in seeing some cool snow sports. Of course there's plenty of tension between nations what with the current string between Russia and Ukraine being pulled so tight but hopefully world war three doesn't start while I'm watching bobsled. Or at all, in fact. That would be good also. I did read that Ukraine fired a warning missile. Not sure how that works but it doesn't sound awesome. Anyway, we aren't here to talk geopolitical struggle. Let's get to some topics. Read more

Alright it’s WRUP Time

Hey everyone and welcome to the first weekend of the new year. Hopefully everyone is doing well and enjoying the season so far. I just got my booster shot on Thursday and though I was expecting to be more or less laid up while my body reacted to it, it wasn't to be so. The worst I had to deal with -and am still to an extent- is the soreness from the injection itself. A few hours after the shot I couldn't lift my arm over shoulder height without some serious strain. But that was it. I never got the fever and chills and energy drops that the second shot gave me. So here's to that. And here's to everyone getting their vaccines because it's getting harder and harder to find anyone who isn't effected by COVID now. I now know of two friend's kids who have it currently, they're deniers though so to them it's all BS, and an elderly lady who is getting over it after having a relatively mild case. She was fully vaccinated so it didn't hit her hard thank goodness. This is a woman in her late 80's with lots of immune issues and she's recovering now. Vaccines work. Not to mention several folks who got it early on, friends of friends, my own distant family members -some of which didn't not survive. This is a real deal, people who still don't think it's a real thing, please do your research.

Okay let's get to the WRUP... Read more

Happy New Year – A WRUP

Good morning on this cold January sunrise, the first of 2022. Here's hoping everyone celebrated safely last night, or like me, just chilled and played some games and stayed away from the crowds. I'm usually pretty boring on new years. Not much of a crowd loving guy. Anyway, here's hoping this year treats us better than these previous two did. Read more
