Wow, funny what you miss when you take a few weeks off, huh?  Apparently the weekend daddy over at Deadspin is no longer The Mighty MJD, but instead J.E. Skeets.   As readers, we'll miss MJD, but are happy to see Skeets.  He's that funny guy from Toronto. 

Our only memories of Toronto are from one trip last year, which involved renting a car, me driving on the highway for the first time ever (and yes, I'm almost 30 years old), and going to visit some coworkers attending the World AIDS Conference.  There was a tremendous sex workers party that I was invited to, and I also remember being pissed that the bars close at 1 AM.  Oh, and they serve the sh*ttiest mix drinks.  I know, beer is good in Canada... well I still say f*ck them if they can't make a stiff Jack and Coke, okay?  I had like six Jacks and Coke, and barely noticed.  Thank goodness their money is so cheap.

Oh, and there was a great house party that we crashed after giving up on finding a bar open after 1 AM... we just saw some people drinking in someone's backyard, so we walked in and pretended we were a part of the party.  It worked, as half the party was wasted from drinking something that was being served out of a pan... unsurprisingly, one guy actually told me he was a plant, and then stood quietly in the corner.  I could care less, since they actually had a few kegs and by this point I would have drunk anything.

One guy told me a story about the time he was doing acid, and got into a life-changing conversation with a poster of Biggie Smalls.  The poster told him to chase his dreams, before turning into a bunch of stars taking off into the night sky. 

Um, sorry about that digression.  Anyway, we're excited he's in charge.  He still owes a favor, since we won that bet with him a few months back... if you only knew how much time I spend cataloguing the intro to his podcasts, in preparation for a possible loss.  This is what we always pictured Skeets looking like:  

And since we have nothing else to add, other than to wonder what happened to MJD, well... here's our theory:

MJD: Whats up man!  Hey yo whats up!
Skeets: Yeah whats goin on here.
MJD: Sick an tired of working the weekends here.
You now what I'm saying?
Yo skeets, they came around here looking for you the other day.
Skeet: Word? 
MJD: Word.
Skeets: Bust it!

Informer, you no say daddy me skeets' make it rain

Will Leitch come and now he blow me mind
when he come through telling me MJD is confined,
So they put me in the charge of the big website
From that point on me promise to be polite.
When the weekend reached, it becomes me in command,
all because MJD more money he demand! (so)
