1971: “Stairway to Heaven” released
Technically it was Monday but this week in Popular Music History, the song which defines Led Zeppelin, whether Robert Plant likes it or not, was released. When I was growing up, I only heard it Sunday evenings on WLS as … Continue reading
RIP Dean Stockwell
A really cool actor passed away over the weekend and from reading other obits about him, I would’ve never guessed that Dune (1984) was his comeback after being a tad blacklisted for being part of Dennis Hopper’s whacky crew. Dean’s brief … Continue reading

Aaron Rodgers should be fined to the maximum
Of course Chicago fans are having a field day, as they should, and there’s no limit to their schadenfreude because their team will miss the playoffs yet again. Many can dish it out but they sure can’t take it when … Continue reading
Some changes on the breakfast sandwiches I make
Last month I started imitating a TikTok movie Jennifer showed me how to make those delicious yet pricey breakfast sandwiches you can buy at Starbucks. Recently, I ditched the ciabatta rolls. They’re too leathery to eat most days and they … Continue reading
Happy Caturday November 2021!
Agamemnon will follow this blanket to wherever it can be found. This is what I get for using it to cover up a box for reasons I completely forgot due to how cute he looks while sleeping the afternoon away. … Continue reading
Take that Science!
Nobody illustrates the craziness of people as well as Monty Python’s Fly Circus in how these people could also be against the vaccine for polio, whooping cough and small pox. Three things which are deadlier than COVID-19 and should you survive … Continue reading
Well, they wouldn’t respond if “career” were used
This is when and why writing headlines can be great fun!
We know that racism-sexism carried the day in Virginia
I’m not sure what’s worse. The GOP sweeping Virginia or the Punditocracy’s Hive Mind repeating the talking points (aka lies and horrible guesses) about how the voters are rejecting Grampa’ Brunch, the Progressive Caucus and how the GOP will take … Continue reading
Don’t forget to vote today, futile as it feels
Remember to get out there, this is a stealth-year cycle in which your local shitbird leaders expect very low turnout alongside the Christo-Fascists pushing their theocratic agendas. Read the endorsements. You don’t have to agree and vote as they say. … Continue reading
Welcome to November 2021!
Originally I was going to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Call of Cthulhu debuting as a roleplaying game but it wouldn’t be sincere. I’ve only played the game a few times and I am trying to get more familiar with it because … Continue reading
Joined Planet Fitness, neither a trick nor treat
While the world, especially Amerika, continues to sit on its collective thumbs on what to do, what to open, etc. I finally gave up and joined the Planet Fitness a few blocks from my house since I seriously doubt the … Continue reading
Why you shouldn’t let your car get too dirty
Seems appropriate since I spotted this while leaving a comedy show and the people of Austin are rather puckish.
Before McRib returns, here’s Biden’s Nothing Burger
As you can see, it was downsized into a Manchin Unhappy Meal. Again, I have NO REGRETS voting for Sanders. Anyone who thinks you can negotiate with Amerika’s domestic terrorists while being undermined by their “moderate” sympathizers, is a fucking … Continue reading
Best obscure Star Trek costume-reference EVER!
The fan who did this one was a genius! Even though the alien was only shown once and on a rather lame and early episode…”The Corbomite Maneuver,” (sad I know it), which also had Cliff Howard as the guest star…its … Continue reading
