St. Reagan & Tricky Dick’s racism shouldn’t be a shock

Posted on August 10, 2019 by Steve

This week, a long overdue recording of a conversation between two major assholes responsible for the rise of Orange Foolius and American inequality finally got released. It has been held back for many years, I think at the request of … Continue reading →

Kathy R wearing her favorite video game

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Steve

A gift I scored for my friend Rev. Kathy because this is her favorite cabinet game whenever we hit Pinballz. I recently looked up Rampage‘s history too. I could’ve sworn I started playing this in high school but I was wrong, … Continue reading →

This was never funny…

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Steve

Regardless of 2016’s outcome. Ugh! Then again, I shouldn’t expect places such as Party City nor those temporary Halloween supply joints to have any sense of good taste. I don’t think even the EU finds much humor in the world … Continue reading →

Texas continues to lead in stupidity

Posted on August 6, 2019 by Steve

Nevermind The Onion‘s ongoing dark joke about America, the Laboratory for Bad Ideas (the Texas Legislature) and Gov. Shitbag signed a series of laws to give Ammosexuals boner pills. These will soon go into effect, allowing morons to carry guns into … Continue reading →

Made a trophy with a toy and super glue!

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Steve

Since Megan has clobbered us all lately in exercise challenges via Challenges (iOS app) due to her dedication, not necessarily my slacking, I made her a little trophy to celebrate her three-month streak. They key to getting the Playmobil ninja … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Nerds

Posted on August 3, 2019 by Steve

This month’s theme is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Revenge of the Nerds. It remains one of the best Teen Sex Romp movies made in the Eighties; Animal House appeared five years earlier and started an avalanche of these. According to … Continue reading →

Dental Work Extra: Root Canal not needed!

Posted on August 1, 2019 by Steve

This morning I saw a specialist I was referred to by my dentist to make sure my anterior teeth 7-10, the busted ones on my upper jaw, are alive.  After a couple X-rays, including a really cool 3D take on … Continue reading →

Travis Morin officially retires

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Steve

This announcement wasn’t a surprise, it was when he’d announce his retirement because I doubt no other AHL team would pick him up. That is the downside of a development league but I’m more than happy to see the team … Continue reading →

RIP: Russi Taylor

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Steve

Sad to hear that voice actress Russi Taylor passed away over the weekend. She had been the official voice of Minnie Mouse for over 30 years. To me Russi will always be the voice of Bart’s intelligent frenemy Martin Prince. … Continue reading →

Thanks for the wishes and all, mellow day

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Steve

Took it mostly easy yesterday. Had to get up relatively early to have some finishing touches done to my new car, goop they put on the windshield to protect it from all the damned rocks and gravel here. Then I … Continue reading →

Firstborn: 35 years later, still great

Posted on July 29, 2019 by Steve

Darned Hulu, finding favorite movies of mine with a looming deadline! I’ve also come to suspect that if the movie is getting yanked from the service in a few days, they’ve reduced its bandwidth or something. Every time, be it 1984 or … Continue reading →

La Roche-Posay My Skin Track UV Sensor

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Steve

Firstly, as I’ve had to tell some strangers…this is not a camera! Walking around with a disguised camera without warning people is a dick move. Why do you think those other people were nicknamed Glassholes. This is a cool little … Continue reading →

I still got it with this machine!

Posted on July 27, 2019 by Steve

Spent a good chunk of my day at the Classic Gaming Expo in downtown Austin. It wasn’t quite the 70,000 square feet of video games I was hoping for, more like 20K with 50K of vendors, mostly people selling legacy … Continue reading →
