The new NBA jerseys for next season!
Somehow there’s never a point of “enough” when it comes to advertising, greed and sight pollution in America, the NBA will be experimenting (translation: instituting) with sponsorships on the team jerseys. The more factual story is here. The artwork above is … Continue reading
Output has been low this year
For my faithful readers, thanks for sticking with me over these years and no, I’m not throwing in the towel. Picayune is just undergoing a lull. It hasn’t been for a lack of material. I mastered the art of finding something … Continue reading

Emo Phillips
Last night I was re-united with the stand-up comedian who really started my brief radio career in promotions and collecting autographs…the absurd, acquired taste, a proud product of the Chicago suburbs…Emo Phillips! He actually remembered performing at Marquette! I told … Continue reading

Batman v. Superman: Waste of time
But Steve, why did you go? Well, I still like Batman and I wanted to see if Ben Affleck would do alright. For me, it’s about time we got an American actor over an ill-tempered Brit to play my favorite … Continue reading
One year in and Marvel is doing great with Star Wars
Third time must be the charm for the Star Wars line of comics. Dark Horse’s 20-plus years were fantastic but they were hobbled by a couple things. Most of what they did wasn’t Canon before it was relabeled “Legends.” They didn’t … Continue reading
We joined the 21st Century…
I think we were already there, we just finally caught up on the TV front thanks to the original TV we had dying at a bad time; Daredevil season two was posted by Netflix! We had to dip into our vacation fun … Continue reading
Happy April!
I decided to let April Fool’s Day go. Miette may be 17 but she’s hanging in there with her thyroid issue and Apple turning 40 didn’t really inspire much. Couldn’t think of a good prank neither. The header above is … Continue reading
Ugh, even Darth Vader does it
Even Darth Vader can’t get one of his officers or Stormtroopers to take the picture for him. To me “selfies” create a weird perspective and amplify the dick moves many Americans are prone to doing.
Dave Attell
A sold-out show in Austin with Dave Attell! Years ago, he used to have a show on Comedy Central called Insomniac in which he’d travel to a particular city to explore what there was to do from late evening until dawn. … Continue reading
RIP Garry Shandling
A damned shame Garry died suddenly because he was a quiet, unsung hero of comedy but it wasn’t always that way. When I first saw him, he was in the same camp as Billy Crystal, a rather boring Johnny Carson … Continue reading
Pinup shirt!
Not sure what the context is from the episode, I’ve only seen about first three of the current season, but hey, any cheesecake of Dr. Girlfriend makes me laugh.
Belated birthday fun for Liliana
Another fun time at Pinballz but it’s even better when I get to celebrate with the little people. I have to get another generation into arcade games or else I’ll have no place to hang out should I live long … Continue reading
Two Justice League videos that sucked stylistically
We’re about a week away from the upcoming Batman v. Superman movie which may either be really awesome or incredibly awful. There’s very little in-between for superhero flicks with the obscene budgets they have. I want it to be good … Continue reading
No shamrock shakes this year
That or I’m going to the wrong McDonald’s every single time. Maybe I should just buy a good vanilla shake somewhere else and put green food-coloring in it. In other funny news, NYC’s police force will be easing up on … Continue reading
