It’s so brilliant, you want to kick yourself for not coming up with it first!
The Maggi Republic is no more, we are officially divorced
With a heavy heart and a good amount of sadness, Somara and I are no longer married. The final decree is in her side’s hands now to make this all 100% complete but for all practical reasons, purposes, etc. it’s … Continue reading
Gotta’ shoot ’em all?
Now I would watch that show and play the annoying iOS game!
Some overdue levity and cheer and mudita
Alright alright alright. No, don’t say it like Matthew McConaughey. I’m just posting something a tad nicer after my rather heavy screed on how Kapitalism gets a pass in America. This was pretty inspiring to see on someone’s minivan around … Continue reading
Which one is the pyramid scheme that rips you off?
The answer……BOTH! Last weekend, I went to a little toy convention at the makeshift convention space in what used to be Northcross Mall and these two operations where in other halls on a Saturday. Hey, at least my money went … Continue reading
Robobarrista isn’t much of a threat
I gave this machine a whirl while I was at WizWorld last weekend. The verdict? Humans don’t have much to fear with this hunk of mediocrity. Firstly, a person could’ve made my drink twice as fast. Secondly, it’s just eye … Continue reading

Times sure have changed since I was a teenager/college student. Back when the SCLM wrote about Dungeons & Dragons, it was 99% of time the Santanic Panic bullshit or how it was a factor in some misfit’s demise. Well, lazy … Continue reading
The Bride!
There’s an old grade-school joke regarding the Bride of Frankenstein (which I guess was supposed to be the monster’s bride). Ready? Why did the Bride freak out when she saw the monster for the first time? Because his nuts were … Continue reading
Frozen II Chucks arrive!
Frozen is one of the weakest animated movies Disney has made in a long time because the story isn’t terribly interesting, original nor worthy of repeat viewings. The music is even worse, “The Let It Go” song is sooooooo shitty … Continue reading
1969: My Lai massacre reported
The world learned a year later about US forces slaughtering My Lai with its logic of in order to save the village, we have to destroy the village. It just piled on all the bad news on how poorly and pointlessly … Continue reading
1919: Einstein begins to be “Einstein” and famous
Around this time the Royal Society of London and the Royal Astronomical Society announced their findings from a solar eclipse which occurred earlier in 1919 and it concurred that this patent clerk’s new concept of General Relativity appeared to be … Continue reading

Don Cherry fired from Hockey Night in Canada
If you’ve never heard of him, Don is Canada’s beloved but racist uncle that was often a favorite feature to watch on Hockey Night in Canada. Before his final tirade, it was easier to give these parallels to most Americans…Don Cherry … Continue reading
1969: Sesame Street debuts
One of JFK’s more positive legacies was his push for more Public Television stations around the US and LBJ helped make it happen with the development of PBS, America’s first “state” network. The other I would go out on a … Continue reading

Another faux holiday from the Right/Kapitalists
Holy frickin’ crap along with BULLSHIT! The Trumpkin Dictatorship made the US State Department go on in a remembrance of Communism’s victims? Talk about how ignorant, partisan and un-self-aware such an asinine stance is! Where to begin with the inaccuracies … Continue reading
Three thousand miles for 2019!
Woo hoo! Not bad, not bad! Managed another 1000 miles for the year within three-ish months. I’m glad to be pushing the envelope for an annual accomplishment. My determination has put me past Honolulu and Cork with Amsterdam as the … Continue reading
