Congratulations to the Lightning
Wow. The first tw0-peat in…oh, a few years, the Pens did it back in the Teens. What can I say, the Lightning had a great team that survived CV-19 mucking with another season, the salary cap and off-season trades. Two … Continue reading
Bender’s cousin?
I’ve always wondered about the CapMetro logo sewn into the seats on its light-rail cars. It’s supposed to be the Texas capital building but I can’t help wondering if it’s really a bending unit crossed with a Cylon. You know, … Continue reading

RIP Richard Donner
What a great run Richard had! He started by directing TV shows: good stuff, namely The Twilight Zone‘s “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” and dreck, Gilligan’s Island. Then he did several movies but the one that got him rolling was The Omen, don’t … Continue reading

Luca: Streaming at best
Maybe Pixar is stuck in a pattern of great movie followed by mediocre movie, repeat. Currently, it would go: Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward, Soul and Luca. If I chose to go back farther, my hypothesis would have more interruptions of … Continue reading
‘Merica! turns 245, will it see 250?
These Irish comedians are painfully on the nose about ‘Merica these days. Meanwhile, I hope to get my own copy of Team America since Alamo isn’t allowed to show it anymore for fear of North Korea’s wrath. I guess we … Continue reading
Taco Cabana bought by Californicators
Great. It’s not enough that the Californicators are moving here in great numbers now, jacking my property taxes to the point I may have to sell my house in five years thanks to their bullshit, bloated equity. Now they’ve acquired one … Continue reading
Aliens is 35 and the header
Aliens remains a masterpiece and James Cameron’s best movie with a real budget. The Terminator is his best with limited money, making it a semi-Indie flick. After these two, I’m not really sold on the remainder because they’re more “Wow! What effects!” which is Titanic; it … Continue reading
What Moe Szyslak would look like if he were “real”
Click on the picture if you want to see a larger, scarier, up-close view. I do admit, it’s less frightening than Homer’s. You can also notice the greater resemblance to Moe’s original source, comedian/writer Rich Hall from Fridays, SNL, Not Necessarily … Continue reading
Rot in Hell Donald Rumsfeld
He was one of the architects of the continued mess America is in. Still waiting for those Arabs to welcome us as liberators while they kill our soldiers with mines and bullets. Rummy helped pump up the lie about Iraq … Continue reading
Hopefully the Delta Strain won’t ruin this hope
Rumor has it that these are back at Costco and HEB. I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club so I have little idea. Fingers crossed but it looks doubtful. Los Angeles is back to wearing masks indoors, even … Continue reading
Yeah…not a really a good slogan to boast
I almost forgot about this horrible and hilarious display at the Riverwalk in San Antonio over New Year’s Day. Ugh! It just seems to be a stupid boast by the holy rollers thinking this will shame the rest of the world … Continue reading
MCU TV is off to a solid start with these two
Both of these original mini-series via Disney+ did a pretty great job scratching my MCU itch during the Pandemic since Black Widow and other movies were pushed back until it was safe to sit in a theater. I also think the … Continue reading
The 2021 Cup will be the Habs v. Lightning
My Flyers were atrocious in this modified season but I only know this through media accounts, namely Philly-based stuff through Apple’s News app. Given the Pandemic, I just haven’t been that into my teams involving games over weekdays. I will … Continue reading
Happy Caturday, June 2021; sweetie, pull me a Twix bar too!
A rather hilarious picture of something quite possible when it comes to kittens. They’re very curious, more liquid than adult cats and not very bright. Given how heavy the door is on a vending machine in order to get your … Continue reading
1876: The Battle of Greasy Grass ends in Custer’s defeat
Most people refer to this as Little Bighorn but I prefer to go with the winners, a combined force of First Nations known as the Lakota, North Cheyenne and Arapaho. It’s also known as one of America’s biggest defeats in … Continue reading
