No matter how bad your day might be, no matter how cold you might be walking around… your day isn’t half as bad as hanging upside down with your cocknballs a-flappin’ in the wind while other skiers take pictures of you.
If only a lumberjack had been skiing with them he could have shimmied up the pole and cut him down.

Top Music of 2008
11. ACϟDC- Black Ice
ACϟDC made an album this year that sounds exactly like every other ACϟDC album. THANK GOD.
Also: concert of the year.
10. My Morning Jacket- Evil Urges
The buzz on this record was that My Morning Jacket had lost their minds and turned into some sort of Prince/Chic tribute band. This turned out to be true of about half the album, but the other half is pretty much in the same vein as the other rockin’ goodness that I’ve come to enjoy from MMJ. Songs like Aluminum Park would not have been out of place on their previous two records, and the super-weird stuff is at least kind of interesting in that it makes you wonder what the hell a “peanut butter pudding surprise” is.

The Year of the Leprechaun brought me a small but fierce collection of new music. So now, my annual top ten albums list…(which is convenient, because I only bought 10 albums…)
and yes that’s probably the best chainsaw solo ever recorded.
Sharpen your axes, squadders.
This year’s got a lumberjack (or lumberjill) in store for you.
I have a feeling we’ll have A LOT to say about it. Happy New Year from Action-Squad.
Did the Year of the Leprechaun seem shorter than any other year? Seriously, that’s not a height joke, but it seemed to go much quicker than previous years, even though we had an extra day.
It seems like only yesterday we were recounting the best of the Year of the Magician and, like an hour since beards became the new black.
But here we are, looking back, across the rainbow to the pots of gold we never chased after and the ones we caught with our bare hands and wrestled to the ground and then took home to invest with Bernie Madoff, only to lose it in an elaborate Ponzi scheme (which is BTW the Best Scheme of the year).
This year gave us a pregnant wife, a two nephews, a new car, training and completing the Chicago Marathon, and for all of us, a black man elected President of the United States. Overall, pretty stinking amazing.
So without further ado, I give you Greedo’s Besties of 2008 - The Year of the Leprechaun
Can’t seem to leave comments right now as we experience some technical squadfilculties, but I was wanted to ask what entries needed to be made to the short list for 2009’s Squad Zodiac. Chupacabra, organ-grinder, haberdasher, beekeeper, ventriloquist, witch doctor, sea serpent, yeti, breakdancer…other?
Squad members can post their suggestions until the comments get fixed.
It’s been several seasons since the Year of the Hobo, but it’s influence persists into modern society. Most notably with the advent of modern hobo code. In the past, hobos would mark the sidewalk or walls of buildings with a set of markings that would warn their hobo bretheren of dangers or “hot spots.”
Here are just a few. More here.
