1999: Twenty years and three previous entries later
Sorry if I repeat myself as the title hints at but a 20-year anniversary is nothing to ignore. Especially when it’s the first in-person meeting I had with Somara, my spouse of the last 15 years. We will most likely … Continue reading
1919: Prohibition, a stupid idea, begins
One reason why we should never let intolerant, religious nut jobs take over the State is it happened before through the 18th Amendment. They’re not the majority but when we let our guard down, they manage to pass an impossible … Continue reading
1979: The Shah of Iran flees, 40 years of hate gets rolling
America’s brutal puppet fled Iran giving Ayatollah Khomeini and his religious thugs the opening they needed to create a different, brutal Islamic theocracy which has been a thorn in the world’s side ever since. The outcome shouldn’t be a shock … Continue reading
1919: The Great Molasses Flood of Boston
I first learned about this weird tragedy several years ago from the wonderful ladies on Stuff You Missed in History Class. It boggles the mind how something of this nature could’ve happened too. Most Americans today only think the gooey … Continue reading
New Futurama theme for GWD tournament in June
Darth Bender! Drunk Lord of the Sith! I couldn’t resist this mash-up since the artist really did a great job integrating Bender’s distinctive look/shape into Darth Vader’s armor. As for the nerd nitpicking, Bender would only need to hold his … Continue reading
Had a perfect September 2018 in exercise
It’s a new year which means new resolutions and a frequent one everybody makes is to lose weight and/or exercise more. As always, the gyms are a tad crowded. I fizzled out near the end of the year thanks to … Continue reading
Richard Jeni would’ve been proud
The late comedian in the title used to a routine about a bachelor chef cooking show featuring macaroni and cheese, a staple for unmarried men. One joke was how cheap and mandatory the foodstuff was because the character purchased this … Continue reading
An inaccurate and overdue plaque to be removed
Despite the Texas State Preservation Board voting unanimously to remove a plaque that states an outright lie about the Confederacy, I expect Neo Confederate apologists (aka Racists) will step up a misinformation campaign to keep it. Plus this is Texas, we … Continue reading
Isis is starting to visit me on the bed!
Gradually, month by month, Isis is growing braver in visiting us to sit and sometimes lie down on the bed. She’s still jumpy if there’s sudden moves by any human and other times, Kuroneko goes into bully mode as she … Continue reading
More progress on Satine with a photo
Satine is definitely growing more comfortable hanging around the house…because she knows there’s a free meal in the works. I finally got a good photo of her sweet face. Of all the torties I’ve seen, her pattern is the most … Continue reading
Aquaman: Worth Seeing*
I initiate Aquaman with an asterisk because it’s good but it just isn’t terribly original while succeeding in making one of DC’s least interesting superheroes watchable, today, in a few years I doubt it. Sure, the character started becoming more appealing when … Continue reading
Progress on Satine (the stray cat)
Like most cats, Satine is slightly conditioned to hang around our porch because there’s a chance of free food. The weather has warmed up so it isn’t to sleep in the cat cave I bought Miguel. I have gained some … Continue reading
Header change was needed
I went with this snapshot of the landscape from Idiocracy as a tribute to the current Federal Government shutdown being caused by the Shitgibbon’s stubbornness. He wants to be true to his racist base despite walls not working, ask the Chinese … Continue reading
The Little Hours
I’m a 100 percent certain the Catholic Church condemned this movie but it’s 2019 so nobody gives a crap, even the majority of practicing Catholics. Those denominations which hate or skewer Catholicism wouldn’t be fans neither, thanks to the nudity. … Continue reading
1989: Hoser & Mag show debuts on WMUR
I think our show only lasted about seven to eight weeks before I bailed on José to finish up the semester. I’m guessing I quit for a couple reasons, one being the desire to sleep in on Sunday mornings and … Continue reading
