Burn in a lesser hell Bob Dole

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Steve

As the cliché goes, assholes live forever, and it was somewhat true of this bitter old man. I’ve already heard all the crap in his defense about how he risked his life in WWII which permanently injured him. Too bad … Continue reading →

How fitting, we’re seeing A Christmas Carol today

Posted on December 5, 2021 by Steve

This will be my first time at the Zach Theatre. I’ve lived here for 27 years and never bothered. I’ve been to plays and operas at UT, just not the local theater group. Jennifer has seen this production before so … Continue reading →

Advent 2021 Beer #4

Posted on December 4, 2021 by Steve

I liked this one the most so far but truthfully, I have to say it was the really colorful, cool-looking table. The dude resembles somebody in a brass or marching band but according to the first word, I believe he’s … Continue reading →

The Right failing to do its homework as always, Dec ’21 edition

Posted on December 4, 2021 by Steve

Given how much more functional Western and Central Europe are compared to Amerika’s dysfunctional ammosexual paradise and Jesusland, I think places such as Germany would send thank-you cards. They’re experiencing negative growth and they’d love to take in well-educated Americans … Continue reading →

Advent 2021 Beer #3

Posted on December 3, 2021 by Steve

I think I’m going to need my friend José to help me out on this. Tonight’s beer didn’t taste as thick as the night before but the German’s aren’t winning me over using the word “hell” and a graphic reminding … Continue reading →

A D&D Commercial that’s too on the nose

Posted on December 3, 2021 by Steve

 To be fair, I was this excited and filled with anticipation when I first got to play in seventh grade. The difference? I grew out of it because I was saddled as the Dungeonmaster as soon as I got … Continue reading →

Advent 2021 Beer #2

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Steve

I liked tonight’s beer much more. It seemed “thicker” than most I have ever had and this was definitely a weisse which I prefer. Well, Belgian whites are the best after being in Austin for 27 years. Therefore, I didn’t mind … Continue reading →

The last symmetrical date of the century! 12-2-21

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Steve

Now before you Europeans or wannabes correct me over the US’s better and more logical format, jokingly claiming this really happened in February, ask yourself…are we English speakers more likely to say, “December 2nd” or “the Second of December?” Yeah, I thought … Continue reading →

Advent 2021 Beer #1

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Steve

This year, Jennifer and I got the jump on Costco’s beer-advent calendar. Seems you have to buy it in the early Fall before they’re all swallowed up! Last year’s “wine” version from Aldi…sucked. I’m not sure if all the beer … Continue reading →

Welcome to December 2021!

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Steve

I decided to just “catch up” and fill in the missing dates in between, again, instead of being like that newspaper from Colonial Days in New England I learned about in college; The publisher only had so much space and … Continue reading →

Tomorrow begins the “voluntary” winterization

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Steve

While the GOP made sure they can dictate what women can do with their bodies, “urban dwellers” have a harder time voting and preventing children from learning the ugly truth about Amerika…they sure as hell didn’t do shit about the … Continue reading →

Got my booster shot against CV-19 today

Posted on November 29, 2021 by Steve

Not sure if the booster is making me tired, the long weekend or the aftermath of Daylight Savings Time ending. Just glad I had it done as Winter will kick in. Can’t get a flu shot though for about four … Continue reading →

Why I never went to Larry Flynt’s house for Thanksgiving

Posted on November 28, 2021 by Steve

It’s because his household never serves turkey and ham is more of a Christmas thing.

RIP Stephen Sondheim

Posted on November 27, 2021 by Steve

I got into Sondheim late and before then, I was rather oblivious as to who the heck he even was or what was his material while it played in front of me! If you grew up in the Midwest and … Continue reading →

Check out my Mandalorian forces!

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Steve

Just in time for the upcoming Book of Boba Fett next month on Disney+. The one at the center left is wielding a generic sword, not the famous blacksabre Bo Katan needs to reclaim rulership over Mandalore. Thanks again to … Continue reading →
