Run Forrest, Run

The 2010 running of the Boston Marathon took place yesterday. And I’m proud to say that a couple of regular Great Wahl celebrities ran really well. They aren’t Ethiopian or Kenyan, so they didn’t win. But Tony and Julia definitely held their own:

As a frame of reference, Cheruiyot is the overall male [...]

Imparting My iPhone Wisdom: Part II

IMG_1044

I made a post about the apps on my iPhone a couple of days ago.

The main complaint I received, mostly from Sweisen, was that I just showed the screenshots from my phone and didn’t really explain any of the apps. I figured that people with iPhones could just look them up in iTunes, [...]

The Official Super Bowl Preview

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my full weekly NFL preview column on here. But it’s the Super Bowl, so I figure I might as well go out of the football season with one last big push. I have some recap stuff to get to once the season is completely over, and I [...]

The Sweisen Special

wtf-shark-knife

In college, Sweisen kept a fairly large knife that I’m sure has a name, but I can’t remember it. It was a cross between a switchblade and a ninja’s nunchaku. He basically just used it to make the rest of us think he was going to chop off his finger accidentally and skin the [...]

Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel

I’ve been told that the younger half of the Roth Brother duo only visits the Great Wahl when I make a reference to the Roth Brothers, or something Jewish. Today, I do both.

So, Tiger Woods has some issues.

Back in July, I joked that Tiger Woods was a loyal reader of The Great Wahl. But, you figure he was so busy with work and golf, that he’d actually have no time to read this awesome blog. But, as we all now know, he’s had plenty [...]

Easy as (Pumpkin) Pie

Sorry Sweisen, another week, another easy math square. Send your complaints to Mental Floss. Hopefully it’ll help you get your brain out of the tryptophan-induced haze a little.

Your brain may need a post-Thanksgiving jump start, so here’s a new Brain Game Math Square to get you going for the week.

The nine squares [...]

Probably Just as Easy

number_block2

The last time I posted one of these number puzzles, I got a lot of complaints as to how easy it was. Well, Mental Floss has given us a second puzzle. Like the first time, I have yet to do it, but I imagine it’s probably just as easy. My apologies in advance, G.O.A.T. [...]

Last week: 5- 2 straight, 2-5 vs. spread

Season: 18-10 straight, 17-10-1 vs. spread

Fitting to last week’s theme of trick or treating, I had success in the straight pick department, and stunk up the joint vs. the spread. Folks and Goats who called their [...]
