The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Sports Song" from Mandatory Fun (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: "Sports Song" is chosen to mark the occasion of the last college foosball game of the 2015 season, tonight's College Football Playoff National Championship (bowl?) 'twixt the epithetless Tigers of Clemson & the epithetless Crimson Tide of Alabama. I don't have a dog in this fight, but 'tis the last bite at the apple 'til next fall & beggars are really in a position to be choosers.

The Explorers' Club
Light bulb! After "The Explorers' Club's" centenary commemoration of the First World War—"Operation AXIOM: The World War"—wraps up in 2018 (or more likely in 2019, as the aspirations & follies of the Paris Peace Conference comprise a worthy field of study), we should follow up with a series on the League of Nations mandates—"Mandatory Fun!"
