And down it came.  And even more of it came down because it couldn&#8217;t go up, not even back to that huge flock of naked, shivering birds who most likely hate Winter even more than we do, poor things.  Such a mighty pile it made, and that over-abundance of crap blocked all access to the road and the world beyond.  After a few hours of sisyphian labor trying to carve a path to freedom, both Skullard and his boss said, &#8220;Fuck it,&#8221; and that&#8217;s how we got ourselves a snow day.  It&#8217;s the first we&#8217;ve had in many a year, and though it was paid for dearly in sweat and snot, we gladly made the most of it with hot food, cinnamon coffee and a leisurely afternoon podcast.  Join us for a semi-carefree hour of bitching in the warm confines of not-work.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some people use shovels to move snow.  Others would rather carry a shovel around like a beloved pet, giving it a guided tour of buried parking lots and walkways.  We have a message for those who are too protective of their special shovel friends.<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"dunderhead\" width=\"584\" height=\"328\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2839\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead-500x281.jpg 500w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/dunderhead.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Every so often we fall accidently into a hobby that could, if not guarded against, take over our lives and body\/mass indexes.<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Yummers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Yummers-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Yummers\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2840\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Yummers-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Yummers-402x300.jpg 402w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Yummers.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Season 2 of <strong>House of Cards<\/strong> is worth whatever you&#8217;re paying for Netflix and then some.
