Sausage Party: Utter waste of time
From the people who gave us the unfunny, profanity-laden Superbad is their attempt at a cartoon ripping off the same plot as Free Birds. The difference would be the dirty jokes that would only amuse middle schoolers. I guess it was funny when Seth Rogen and … Continue reading
Las Vegas Finale 2017A
Last entry about our most recent trip to Las Vegas, promise. Above is a photo of the latest success with 27, the day we got married (and it’s Bugs Bunny’s birthday). As per tradition, we make one last bet at … Continue reading
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Must See
The superhero team from 2014 I thought wouldn’t succeed, due to their obscurity, is back. This time the focus is on Starlord/Peter’s father. This isn’t a spoiler because you see it in the commercials/trailers. All the humorous infighting is there, Drax … Continue reading
New Pornographers 2017
The Canadian supergroup came to Austin again for this was the final stop on their North American tour. As always, they put on a helluva’ show to promote their latest, Whiteout Conditions that was released…I think in April. It’s a bit … Continue reading
RIP Stan Weston
Mr. Weston passed away a couple weeks as per his obituary but any of us born after the late Fifties are very familiar with his most successful creation, GI Joe. With the runaway success of Barbie, all the toy companies (when … Continue reading
More MST3K swag arrived!
Joel Hodgson and company sent me a T-shirt some time ago. Then another box appeared at the door when I came home. Insider were awesome stickers, a coffee cup with no handle (reminding me of all the coconuts the characters … Continue reading
Steely Dan and other fun in Las Vegas
With Ethan staying at our timeshare with us, I got him a late birthday present of tickets to see Steely Dan, his favorite band. We got dressed up as per the great opening from Swingers but we’re also in agreement that … Continue reading
Happy Free Comic Book Day 2017 (#15)!
The oldest of the nerd high holidays turned 15 this year and the selections were pretty good. My shop (Rogues Gallery) had enough to let everybody has 10 titles. Since I’m a subscriber with my tastes, I mostly picked up … Continue reading
Umm, a little help
Somara came home last night to find Nemo and his “lucky leg” stuck in a toilet-paper tube. How he did this is beyond us because his front-left leg has a hard 90° turn at the first joint above the paw. She … Continue reading
Rick as Bender for Halloween?
Bite my shiny wubba-lubba dub dub bub! Two of animation’s favorite alcoholics mashed up into one funny shirt! Or maybe Bender is really Rick all along since they both have Spanish surnames.
These Chucks are no surprise for my collection
The Time Warner Empire’s division for Looney Tunes has licensed a few designs to be used by Converse. Obviously I had to have the Bugs Bunny pair! I loved them so much I have two pairs.
My new time waster
Scored this with all my Pinballz points the night before we left for Las Vegas. I drove all the way down to the original location because the one where I earned my 90K carried just the version with Call of Duty…pass, … Continue reading
Corrected Cats of Tahiti Village 2017, #2
They do have names according to a sales representative but I forgot to take them down and only remembered one. So here they are again along with a few others.
We are home and recuperating
We landed and made it to the house last night at a decent hour. Still tired when we woke up. I almost missed an 8:45 AM appointment too. As for all those clean-up chores, ha! Beyond the two scheduled things … Continue reading

The new lessons from my 13th visit to Las Vegas
It’s also the 20th anniversary of my first visit to this weird city in the desert. I always learn something new when I spend some time here too. Don’t rent a car from the airport facility, there’s an extra $75 … Continue reading
