Double dang! I owe again!

Posted on April 19, 2023 by Steve

Good thing I got to apply for an extension right away. Hell, I can’t remember if I owed last year or not. It sucks to owe the IRS money, especially when I’m paying more than all the billionaire shitbirds who … Continue reading →

Dang! Back to a specialist on my crummy teeth

Posted on April 18, 2023 by Steve

What I was hoping to be a routine filling operation became a little exercise in some pain. It’s my fault for not getting the right kind of toothbrush earlier in life and being more dedicated. So the filling I needed … Continue reading →

Last night, my Stars of the AHL (boooo Dallas!) secured first in the Central Division! We have a finale tonight against the Wild (or Mild given it’s Iowa) so we won’t know who we will be facing in the playoffs … Continue reading →

I think this is Nubby’s cousin

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Steve

I’m guessing the chicken was still warm when the humans put it in the fridge since cats go by smell if they’re going to eat something. Our cat Nubby is equally fearless and stupid in that he’d risk his life … Continue reading →

They also forgot “schools” sadly

Posted on April 14, 2023 by Steve

I love this bumper sticker because it ties in with a recent news story I heard on NPR (which it NOT STATE MEDIA) about a state legislator in Nebraska fighting for LGBTQ+ rights via a filibuster. She made a huge … Continue reading →

Ant-Man…Quantamania: Must See, screw the naysayers!

Posted on April 13, 2023 by Steve

I know I’m late to post this and sadly it’s allegedly MCU’s first major failure or flop or whatever, especially in light of how everybody and their uncle is jumping onboard the “Marvel needs to give it a rest” train. … Continue reading →

Twenty-four years at Apple, Inc.

Posted on April 12, 2023 by Steve

Now I feel like one of those decrepit, asshole US senators I criticize because I’ve been employed at the biggest computer company (in value via stock shares, assets) for the equivalent of four terms. And I was just re-elected into … Continue reading →

Rest In Peace Al Jaffe!

Posted on April 11, 2023 by Steve

So sad to find out a legend, a word I don’t use lightly, passed but he made it to 102! No Boomer or Gen X upbringing would be complete without Al’s contributions to MAD via his two major contributions: the Fold-in … Continue reading →

Not Another Teen Movie

Posted on April 10, 2023 by Steve

From the Scary Movie team trying to make something as well-made as Airplane! and Mel Brooks’ good streak came a take on all the Teen Romance-Coming-of-Age comedies. It was also Chris Evans’ big debut before he became best known as Captain America … Continue reading →

New Delhi achieved!

Posted on April 9, 2023 by Steve

A very overdue destination! Hell, I was within striking distance in January but I had to get sick, then COVID-19 sick, then Daylight Savings Time acclimation and now I’m back in the groove! Not so much the doctor harping on … Continue reading →

Everything Everywhere All at Once: Must See

Posted on April 9, 2023 by Steve

I saw this last Spring and since it kicked ass at the Oscars®, something I find impossible given how the so-called Academy prefers boring-ass shit released between Christmas and MLK Day. You know…Woody Allen’s navel gazing or people in period-piece … Continue reading →

Gov. Abbott plans to “correct” Austin outcome again

Posted on April 8, 2023 by Steve

Once again, the party of small gubmint which is a dog whistle for the Neo-Confederacy, plans to pardon convicted murderer Perry. Abbott’s colostomy bag must be backed up as it’s filling up his brain with more than the usual amount of … Continue reading →

This fortune cookie is a little late?

Posted on April 8, 2023 by Steve

We had Chinese or Chinese-derived food Thursday night and what a great fortune in the cookie for dessert! It says “a cat,” nothing about a few or currently eight. Worry not, Mama Rhea with her babies Romulus and Remus will … Continue reading →

Austin dishes out justice where Wisconsin failed

Posted on April 7, 2023 by Steve

A jury convicted shit bird Daniel Perry of murdering BLM protestor Garrett Foster. Not that Perry’s claims of “self-defense” holds up when Foster was shot five times. I can see once but any more is excessive and probably done in … Continue reading →
