Another week has come and gone and what have we to show for it? More gray hairs? A dollar? Two dollars? That weird fungal thing, again? Well it’s time to put all of that behind us and settle in for a laugh. If life is pointless, why not get our kicks in when we can?

No group embraces that sentiment more acutely than Stab’s demented (and unintended) offspring, the commentariat — an amalgamation of people old and young who, for one reason or another, can’t think of anything more fun than hurling ego-bombs at aquatic gypsies and scribes.

Yet somehow, I don’t know what we’d do without you.

Normally, co-leader of your ragtag pack, Mr. iHusky, would use this forum to display his weekly wit assessment. This week, however, Husk’s backyard was infiltrated by squirrels and he’s spent the past few days barking uselessly up a tree, leaving the notoriously unfunny StabStaff to pick this week’s COTW.

So, did you get a gold star, or will you be forced to ride the commentary short bus with Stu Azole?

Scroll and learn!
