Take off! I got nine out of ten you hosers! The only one I missed involved a cartoon of all things and it was 50-50!

Happy Birthday Radman!
The coolest, calmest, most zen dude I’ve ever met. Plus he almost kicked a homeless guy’s ass when he pulled a suspicious move on me. It was my fault. I wasn’t taunting the dude, I was just trying to converse … Continue reading
…and a belated birthday to Mark!
I can’t remember why for the life of me I keep thinking his birthday is on the 30th when my portable’s calendar slaps me in the face every year for 29th. The key thing is, I believe he had a … Continue reading
These are the good kind of hairy gnolls…
…and not the gross kind that smell like ass, aka self-appointed “expert” and “critic” Harry Knowles, the guy behind Ain’t it Cool. Beyonce Knowles has her moments even I don’t care for her music. Oh wait, the Knoll Brothers did give … Continue reading

RIP Chris Squire
Yes was a key band of in my Classic Rock education when I lived in Houston. You could often hear “Roundabout,” “I’ve Seen All Good People” and “Starship Trooper” on a regular basis through KLOL. The material Chris performed on is … Continue reading
Seattle-Paizo achieved!
I would put this running goal about four months behind the schedule I was keeping if I were applying last year’s pace. This year has been just rough across the board, even on the exercise front which should be a breeze … Continue reading
Stephen Colbert weighs in with a good point
…of course corporations don’t marry, the devour each other.
America finally joins the civilized world
Unlike the ACA decision earlier this week, it didn’t beat the spread as Bender would say. I knew the odds favored a ruling to do the morally right thing since we’ve only had legal interracial marriages for over a generation. … Continue reading
