Hottest Babe In The Hooters Calendar: November 2025

Gosh, I am so, so late to do this one.  I just wanted to wait till my parents were out of the house, but maybe I should've done this in December anyway.

Maybe I could've used more time looking at this month on my wall, but of the dozen servers for this month, I will single out only three of them in what is a below-average month.

In third place is The Main Girl, Chicago's Alyssa.  Dark brown hair that ends at the bottom of her breasts, I like best her light pink two-piece bikini, which looks as though it's been knitted.  Her Mona Lisa smile and figure (she's just standing and completely facing the camera) are pretty good, too.

In second place is Riley, from Sarasota, Fla.  She also has dark brown hair, though it ends just a tad above the bottom of her boobs.  She is posing at an angle, but she's also tugging up the bottoms of her hot pink two-piece, which I like, as if, if I get to look real close, I can see her pussy.  I really like her slight grin as well.

Finally, in first place is Gracie, out of Brandon, Fla.  Also dark brown hair, but hers stops below the shoulders.  Standing straight at the camera, she fits her left thumb through the ring that connects the bottoms to the tops of what becomes a black one-piece bikini.  The top is more like an athletic top, not like what you expect from a traditional bikini top, so don't get to see too much titty or cleavage.  But the open hole of her bikini exposes her slim tummy, and that's nice.  Also, she shifts her body weight to her right leg, so that "S" bend gives her figure a sexy shape.  Finally, she gives a devastating Mona Lisa smile.

So, congratulations to Gracie and to the others whom I've talked about.  If I am still a free man and get home tonight/Friday night, I might have time to touch myself to all of you!

The Weekly Minnesota Sports Survey

A reminder that because we have flipped into a new year, I am changing the day of the week The Weekly Minnesota Sports Survey is published.  These will, or at least should, come out on Thursdays, the day of the week January 8, 2026 falls on:

#0: Gopher men's basketball (Last Week: -4).  I can't remember the last time the Gopher male b-ballers had as good of a week.  Following up a six-Point victory over Northwestern in Evanston, the club traveled home to face an imposing 19th-ranked Iowa squad.  But the Gophs were able to hold onto their big Fourth Quarter lead and make Free Throws late to keep the Hawkeyes far enough away to notch a 70-67 Win.  I know it's his first Year at the helm, but Niko Medved is instilling an element of toughness to this group of players that his predecessor, Ben Johnson, simply wasn't able to do.

This screening Week they finish their three-Game homestand playing my alma mater and Wisconsin.

#-1: Gopher women's hockey (Re-Entry!).  This team is back in action as they went to Fairfield, Conn., over the weekend and annihilated Sacred Heart by scores of 4-0 and, egad, 14-2.  Impressive to beat up on squads that can't defend themselves, but hey, they also got swept by Minnesota State-Mankato earlier in the Year ... and would you look at that!  The Goofers have another home-and-home series with the Mavericks this weekend??  I've never seen a college hockey program play a pair of home-and-homes against the same club in the same season.

#-2: Timberwolves (Last Week: -5).  A Week that began with a 24-Point drubbing in Atlanta New Year's Eve continued in to '26 with the Timberwolves sandwiching a sweep over Miami in a home-and-home around a 26- (talk about ironic) Point ass-kicking in Washington.  Maybe the Defense is finally tightening up.  People have noticed how Rudy Gobert is showing a little more fight and range in his shooting this Year.  Finally, don't look now, but the T-Wolves have the best record in The National Basketball Association since November 29.

Busy Week ahead -- they do a home-and-home with Cleveland, host Victor Wembanyama and The San Antonio Spurs Sunday, then visit Milwaukee Tuesday.

#-3: Wild (Last Week: -1).  Hit a speed bump in the screening Week that bridges 2025 and 2026.  Lost in a Shootout at San Jose New Year's Eve, bounced back by trouncing the Ducks in Anaheim Friday, 5-2, then getting swept in two contests in Los Angeles, 5-4 and 4-2.  That doesn't hurt too much because they remain third in the Central, a mere two Points behind The Bastard North Stars.  But they haven't been in great form as of late.

Like with the Timberwolves, the Wild have a busy schedule.  They finish off their seven-Game roadtrip (necessitated with Minnesota hosting the World Juniors) in Seattle tonight/Thursday night.  They then have a three-Game homestand vs. The New York Islanders, The Bastard Colorado Rockies, and The Bastard Atlanta Thrashers.

#-4: Gopher women's basketball (Last Week: -2).  Michigan is considered to be one of, like, five or six teams that have separated themselves from the rest of us and will contend for the national title.  So it stands to reason that, even though the Gophers led by nine after one Quarter and by one at Halftime, the Wolverines put their feet down and outscored the U. 42-31 in the Second Half to win by ten.  Just stay on the good side of the bubble, please.

Very busy Week for this team: They play Northwestern, my alma mater, and UCLA.  The great benefit is that all three Games this Week will be played at Williams Arena.

#-Infinity: Vikings (Last Week: -3).  It's funny, but even though the Vikings aren't making the playoffs, I feel kind of ... good about the team overall ... maybe?  For those complaining that these guys are incompetent for not tanking (and maybe I blog posted about this already), winning five in a row (albeit against teams set on tanking or throttling it down because they've already made the postseason and don't want to get any of their players hurt before then) shows, in my opinion, a lot of competence.

It may or may not be a good thing that the Vikes had the best stretch of the season once they were eliminated.  Throughout a lot of the year but especially the past several weeks, I thought the Defense played well, and at times really well, especially against the run.  (Harrison Smith, who, along with C. J. Ham, was feted during Sunday's Win at home versus Green Bay as if he is going to retire, was named NFC Defensive Player Of The Week for his heroics over Detroit the Week before.  Does that sound like someone who should retire?)  On Offense, despite a patchwork line, they were able to run a little more than they did last year.  (Jordan Mason almost ran for 100 Yards against the Packers, and he was a great and underrated pickup before the season.)

Unfortunately, the main question coming into this season -- is J. J. McCarthy the future Quarterback of the Vikings -- is still unanswered.  His hand hurt again, and even though I didn't see it this way, McCarthy actually pulled himself out of the Game early in The Third Quarter.  We have to worry about McCarthy being an injury liability, but now, if this departure was McCarthy's idea, we now have to wonder if he has the drive to be the QB1 for this franchise.  I am encouraged by some parts of his game and discouraged by others, but we didn't get too much evidence to think he should either stay or go.  So this big unknown, which hovered over and ultimately doomed the Vikings' season, is lurking again for 2026.

(Another person to be iffy about, potentially: Left Tackle Christian Darrisaw.  He has played superbly for stretches in his career, but there was a nagging injury that pulled him out of Games and important times in Games, and he, possibly like McCarthy, said he needed a breather.  Is the front office OK with dealing with what sounds like a headache of a player to deal with?  Remember that the Vikings are well over the salary cap.  I'm not saying they would cut Darrisaw in order to get under the cap, but I'm not not saying that.)

But the biggest possible change is at Defensive Coordinator, where Brian Flores, who still has that racial discrimination lawsuit against The National Football League pending in court, might move on.  His players allowed the occasional big play, but overall, he has been really, really good.  And so it'll be sad to see if and when he gets a Head Coaching job (at, say, Las Vegas), necessitating Kevin O'Connell, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, et al., to find a suitable replacement.

Hey, at least they get to relish in a third-place-in-the-Division finish.

Goddammit, the first day they're gone and there's a fucking leak in the house.  I know this would fucking happen.  I'm mad at them for not fixing this properly, and I'm mad at the world for such cruel timing.

I tightened up the screw and it may have slowed the leak.  I am hoping that the drip-drip-drip is slow and low enough that I can go an entire workday and still empty the pail that is now underneath the leak, and that was before I tightened up the screw.  But shit, I can't go on like this.  I want them gone for at least eight months, and now I need to do something that only my parents can fucking do?  Fuck me ...

Addendum To: On Money -- When I Spend It And When I Complain About Spending It

OK, so this is what I did on Sunday.

I was still feeling the pull of the Megamall.  Moreover, I was feeling the pull of Grand Casino Arena, which was staging both Semifinals of the World Juniors.  I stay pretty late after Vikings Games to make sure the traffic thins out, but I could move it up and still leave without getting stuck.  So I formulated a plan to go down to the Mall Of America, buy some stuff at the pop-up store, eat at Popeye's (I had this digital coupon of three tenders for a buck), then drive to downtown St. Paul.  If I could find parking close enough to the arena (parking meters aren't enforced in St. Paul on Sundays, so yay for me), I would park, buy a ticket, then see the second Semi at 7:30.

That last bit was buoyed in part by the prices I saw at scalper sites.  I checked after Friday night's Quarterfinals, which included the United States losing to Finland in Overtime.  I thought the prices would crater because the host U. S. was no longer in it, but prices were too high for me to entertain.  In fact, I think StubHub told me there were no tickets to sell.  But I checked again Saturday, and not only were there many tickets, prices were falling like a stone.  SeatGeek's cheapest ticket Friday night was $93; it became about $50 Saturday, and while at work, I checked again and it fell to $39.  That's it, man; even though I was tired as hell and I would be driving all around the Twin Cities, I decided to do all this.

Well, first of all, me eating so much after the Game that I had to shit really bad threw the Popeye's deal out the window.  I felt this push out of my asshole while I was driving down to MOA, and if you know that feeling, it feels like you're about to fucking shit your pants so bad everyone will see and point at you and laugh.  Scariest feeling in the world, am I right?

But I made it to the public men's room next to the doors at MOA, aka the last place I would want to evacuate my bowels, but of course, I had no choice.  This diarrhea attack made me second-guess if I should even try and go to the Game.  Good thing, then, that I didn't plan on buying a ticket unless I found a space to park in St. Paul.

Systems back to normal, I went to the pop-up.  That orange quarter-zip that probably was going to be the thing I buy?  Well, it went from one or two of those to six or seven.  Unfortunately, the only sizes available were small and extra-large.  This was something I saw with several popular items while I was browsing for World Juniors clothing.  I couldn't buy that, and nothing else there interested me.  So I didn't buy anything there, like I thought I would.  Yeah, it was kind of a waste driving down there.  But I had to know.

Didn't feel the urge to crap after that excretory meltdown when I cashed in the winning Powerball tickets I bought (oh yeah, I did that, too) on my way out to the car, so I felt good going to the arena.  And maybe I shouldn't be surprised considering the half-empty crowds at Mariucci Arena for group and Quarterfinal Games, but I found a spot easy-peasy.  And so I turned off the car, leaned my seat back, and looked at SeatGeek and StubHub for a ticket to that 7:30 Game.  And I was surprised, and disappointed, that somehow prices for that Game went back up.  It can't be demand; these scalper sites are running fucking algorithms to maximize prices.  Makes me so goddamn frustrated.  But hey, I got there, and I wanted to go, so I bought a ticket for Canada-Czechia for, hrmph, $50.

By the way, great Game.  Back and forth, but the Czechs got the upset (even though this is the third straight year the country eliminated the Canadians), 6-4.  (That Semifinal, by the way, was delayed from its scheduled start because the first Semi went past Overtime into a Shootout, where Sweden slipped past Finland, 4-3.)  I'm glad I went, and this is the World Juniors, so maybe I shouldn't bitch so much over the price of the ticket.  Anyway, I had plenty of time to check out the merchandise tables at the "Gicka."  You remember my obsession/fear about "exclusivity," buying items that I could only find at Mariucci or the pop-up store at the Mall Of America?  Well, that OCD blew up in my face.  That hoodie with the huge 2026 IIHF World Juniors logo right on the front that I bought at Mariucci?  Saw it there.  And I also saw the Paul Bunyan & Babe t-shirts I also bought at Mariucci, as well as the first pair of t-shirts I bought, the ones that had the flags on the hockey blades on the front I bought at the pop-up.  Oh, and the pin, too.

So, when it comes to buying things that appeared to be at only one place, I got the scarf that I bought down at MOA and the winter hat with the logo on a plate stitched on it at Mariucci.  All the other stuff I bought I could've bought at any of the three places.  And the scarf and hat, for all I know, were being sold at the other two places before they sold out.  I'll rest in the peace of my ignorance.  But I think I could've been more judicious about what I would've bought if I could've went to Grand Casino Arena for that Sunday group stage Game if not for the snowstorm that blew in that day.  I think I would've gone up to the merch tables, realize that most if not all the items were the same as that at Mariucci, realize that some of the things I saw down at the Megamall I didn't see there (and vice versa), and purchased accordingly.  But now I have a lot of things that, right now, I'm not cool with (see Title of blog post).

But hey, it was the World Juniors!

Oh, Just Leave Me And My Shit Alone

You know, giving me tea is OK, especially if it's sweet as the lemon-flavored one Father's given me a couple times over the past couple weeks.  But he gave the tea to me because he thought I was coughing too much.  The first time yes, the second time no.

And yes, I have thought from time to time that I could use a light cord in my closet so I could actually look through my clothing.  I didn't ask My Fucking Father for one.  Now I know that he went through my closet.  Why the fuck would he be going through my closet?  He would not know at all that I can't light the light in my closet without opening it and going through my shit.  So that scares the fucking daylights out of me.  I can't shove my cum towel in there anymore because one day, he'll see fit to look through my closet just because he has fuck all to do and see my cum towel.

All these two motherfuckers have done is break every boundary I have and done things within my circle of privacy that is up to me alone.  This goes beyond meaning well.  This is them thinking they can do whatever they want with me and my stuff because they have no respect for me.  I guess I could punch them, but they'll be leaving soon, so maybe I'll just say good riddance to their meddling asses.

(And yes, I take back all the good things I said about them in this blog post.  For now.)

Stranger's Shit

When I went to Mariucci Friday afternoon I needed to pee.  Like the arena, but they still have fucking troughs, and I'll be goddamned if I ever have to use one.  Luckily there weren't too many people there, so I just went into one of the open stalls and FUCKING GODDAMMIT, there was floating piece of feces in the toilet.  And it was yellow and brown and everything.  Some motherfucker just didn't care to flush, Jesus fucking Christ.

I'll be honest: It kind of ruined the rest of my day.  I was watching the hockey Games, and I got obsessed with what I wanted to buy there.  But FUCKING GODDAMMIT, I flashed back to that piece of shit in the toilet.  The last time I saw something like that was at Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit when I was there the last weekend Tiger Stadium was open, and my pure OCD makes me flash back to that piece of shit I saw from time to time (even though the water was clear, for some fucking reason).  Goddammit, people are just fucking gross and rude!!!

Fuck it.  Fuck it all.  If we can invade a country and kidnap a President just because, there really are no rules anymore.  (Well, there haven't really been rules since 2000, but you know what I mean.)  So let's stop playing by rules that don't exist anymore.  If they can do it, we can do it.  Why not?  Only they're doing it for oil and money and power, and when we do it -- and we better be doing it when we get a chance to do it -- it's because we're ridding the world of evil.  That's the difference between us.  And right now, that's all that fucking matters.

On Money -- When I Spend It And When I Complain About Spending It

So work yesterday/Friday ended at 2.  Missed the regulation Game (Germany doubled up Denmark and thus will stay up in the Top Division), but saw Switzerland come from behind in The Second Period and defeat Czechia in the 3:30 Game I was able to buy a ticket and make it to, then (with a ticket I already bought, not at work less than two hours before puck drop like the Czechs-Swiss Game) witnessed Canada crush Slovakia in the 7:30 Game, 7-1.

I got a ticket for the 3:30 matchup on a scalper site for $18 or so.  I was curious, so Thursday I checked prices for the 7:30 Game.  I bought one just before the tournament started for ... um, just under $70, I think.  I assumed that that Game would feature Canada, and that Canadians would swoop in from up north to see this Quarterfinal matchup.  I bought it before the tournament because the prices were starting to rise after falling a bit, and I was afraid that Canada fans would finally snatch them up thinking that they would be seeing their team.  What I forgot to factor in was Trump wanting to annex the entire nation.  That idiotic talk convinced many Canadians to not vacation in the U.S.  I remember hearing so many resorts and convention bureaus say that the number of Canadians vacationing in their cities and towns have plummeted.  I remember this now, but I didn't remember it when I bought that ticket.  (That's probably due to all the bullshit coming from that asshole's mouth; you forgot the crap he said because he constantly says new crap.  Apparently, it's a strength of his.)  So I checked Thursday and I could get in for about $39.  Dammit.  Well, I chalked this mistake up to our dumbass President and the fact that this is the World Juniors we're talking about; I don't mind paying a premium for an event I probably will never attend again even though it turns out I overspent by about $31.

---

So I blog posted on here before about buying World Juniors merchandise, and about whether I wanted to buy at Mariucci Arena, the pop-up store at the Mall Of America, or both.  There were a lot of things I tried to consider about whether and what to buy, all of it leading me to a web of confusion.  Foremost among them was price, of course, but another thing was scarcity, in particular whether an item is only in one place.  And I think my OCD kicked in, because I got really, really obsessed over that when I went to Mariucci yesterday/Friday to watch the Games.

When I went down to the Megamall last Saturday, I hemmed and hawed about several items I saw down there.  Eventually I decided not to buy the big tickets items, such as jerseys and hooded sweatshirts.  They were oversized and they had designs that I wasn't too keen about.  Oh, and the price, of course.

I bought two medium size t-shirts of the same design.  It was important to me to at least buy anything World Juniors-related that had the official 2026 IIHF World Juniors logo and the flags of the ten countries competing.  I also bought two because of my OCD: The plan is to wear one and to keep one for storage for ... I don't know what.  Anyway, I bought a pair.  I also bought a scarf which, sad to say, I forgot to wear Friday to Mariucci when I planned on doing so.

But back to the t-shirts.  I don't necessarily regret buying them, but I recognized the style of that t-shirt when I was going through the merch store at Mariucci.  I was afraid that they would have sold out at the arena, and that's why I bought it down in Bloomington, but it isn't "special" because I saw it at MOA and Mariucci.  On the other hand, there were many, and I mean many, items at the pop-up that I didn't remember seeing at the arena.

I went into the merch store before the Czechia-Switzerland Game to buy my stuff before the Canadians did.  I wouldn't say it was cleaned out, but compared to what I saw on Boxing Day, they went through a lot of stuff.  However, and damn my fuzzy memory, even though there were several items there that I didn't see down in Bloomington, I think I'm right in thinking there is more "unique" stuff down at the Mall Of America than at the store in Mariucci.

And yet ... the things I saw in Mariucci that I don't recall seeing at MOA I pretty much bought.  At first I got a winter hat with the logo stitched on it (I know I didn't see that at the Megamall) and a logo pin (don't recall seeing it at MOA, but it's a small pin, so I could've missed it).  But during the first two periods of the Czechia-Switzerland Game I was debating about whether to buy more stuff.  Well, I save a lot of money because my parents buy all the food we eat, so I indulged myself.  At the Second Intermission, I went back into the merch store and bought a light blue hoodie with just the big logo in front (I don't think they have that one at the Megamall ... do they?) and two more t-shirts.  This one design has the logo in the front and the flags of the ten countries in the back along with Paul Bunyan as a hockey player and Babe The Blue Ox as a Goaltender.  I liked the Minnesota tie-in.  And I know I did not see this particular t-shirt at MOA.

I have dropped about $200 in World Juniors-branded clothing.  I don't think I have spent so much money in memorabilia for a single sporting event.  There have been other big sporting events I've attended ... well, actually I worked a Super Bowl and a Final Four.  I don't know how ethical it would've been to buy stuff, especially I was, you know, supposed to be working.  But for the World Juniors I'm a fan, and like I said, I have money, so I am getting all this.

And dammit ... my OCD wants me to go back to the Mall Of America a third time to go into that pop-up store to look one more time at the "exclusive" stuff it turns out I could only buy there.  In particular there was this orange quarter-zip that had the logo blown up and in contrast in the back.  Now I feel bad that I didn't buy it then.  But that pop-up store closes either tomorrow/Sunday or Monday, and now I feel compelled to buy that -- or, if that's gone, maybe something else I can only get there.  I had plans to just go home immediately after the Vikings Game, but this is the World Juniors, so I've decided I can alter my plans, cut out early from U. S. Bank Stadium, drive down there before the mall closes, and take out my credit card to buy stuff marking this once-in-a-lifetime event ...

... unless there's nothing there for me to buy and/or it's too expensive and/or all the stuff there I saw at Mariucci, in which case it would be a waste of time but whatever, I need to see for myself.  And this is where I catch myself not being frugal.  I'll spend (or fritter away) money if it's for a big sporting event and if I think the stuff I can buy is "special."  And I will beat myself up after the fact when I begin to doubt whether it is "special."  My goodness, I can't buy anything without a tinge of regret.

Quick Day Tomorrow? Three Games Tomorrow?

So I'm working today/Friday.  It's the day after New Year's.  We get worked based on urine tests collected yesterday, and obviously, since yesterday was New Year's Day, I really, really don't think there's going to be much work.  There might not be any work.  Combine that with the fact that on New Year's Eve we had a fairly meager workload that came in, and I gotta say that I don't think we're pulling a full day today because we didn't have much Wednesday.  In fact, I kind of think, or maybe I'm just hoping, that we will have a real quick day.

How quick?  I ask because while I have tickets to the last of three World Juniors Games at Mariucci Arena at 7:30, the second one drops at 3:30.  I have to think that if today isn't a full day, I could get in time to catch that Game.  The really intriguing one for me is the first Game between Germany and Denmark.  The International Ice Hockey Federation has promotion/relegation, and this is the relegation Game.  I really want to go for the stakes alone, but the puck drops on that one 11:30.  That might be a pipe dream ... but if there is no work today, and I can't see there being much, why can't I make it at 11:30?

We'll see.  And I'll cross my fingers.

And after lunch today My Father told me to clear the driveway of snow.  I don't know if we even got half an inch.  But I cleared it anyway, even though I really, really wanted to not even step foot outside to begin the New Year.

Fuck what I said before.  I can't wait for them to leave.
