1981: Weird Al Yankovic’s National debut on TV!
Almost forgot to bring this up before I go to bed, courtesy of the Weird One himself via Twitter! I never saw the original airing because it was on Tom Snyder’s Tomorrow show which I think came on at 11:30 PM … Continue reading
It’s no lime in a coconut
Unless that’s the cat’s name (Coconut) then we could say this is a different concoction or…catcoction?
RIP Walter Mondale
I’m glad to see that most of the stories about the former veep’s passing focused on how he changed the role instead of the alleged trouncing he received from St. Reagan in 1984. This is what I hope he will also … Continue reading
1971: Charles Manson convicted
Vincent Bugliosi did a helluva’ job putting this shitbag and his followers away. Too bad he wasn’t around to nail OJ, the Juice could’ve been neighbors with Charlie. However, the infatuation Americans have had with the man is bewildering to … Continue reading
Justice League: the Snyder do-over
Allegedly, this Snyder Cut happened via HBO Max through the fans. Who these people are, I have yet to meet one. I do readily admit to enjoying Snyder’s 300 and he did the best job possible with The Watchmen, a story that … Continue reading
RIP Felix Silla
One would rarely recognize the actor in public, but we all know the characters he played the years thanks to his diminutive height. In the Sixties, he was Cousin Itt on The Addams Family and the child ape who spotted Taylor … Continue reading

Generational stereotypes of the past
As you can see, friction between the young and older people is as old as History itself but the cartoon is a funny take even if it’s inaccurate. Knocking people’s codpieces while wearing those funky shoes that can be several … Continue reading
It’s true, smoking does stunt your growth
I guess Patkowski took the job with the Polish cabinet after not landing the lead role in Home Alone 5.
Cool bridge for my D&D game
The back of the package is better to show off on what’s inside! Oddly, they didn’t include a troll with three goats. I cannot wait to deploy this in my game because there’s at least one really awesome long-term campaign … Continue reading
Design failure, April 2021 edition
I’m sure the struggle to make a creative logo ended with the best of intentions having tried to make many myself. However, this was one of the few times I would’ve listened to a focus group or run it by … Continue reading
Alternate paint job for the Y-Wing
In the pretty X-Wing miniatures game, the neutral Scum & Villainy faction fly fighters similar to what the Rebellion has, namely Y-Wings and Z-95 Headhunters but they get different paint jobs. With the first edition of the game, the set only came … Continue reading
Twenty-two years at Apple
It won’t be long before my employment at Apple exceeds the duration between my birth and graduating from university, the latter action saying I’m no longer a probationary adult. Like last year, it’s a bit of a pisser thanks to … Continue reading

Back to normal completely!
With shot number two earlier this week, I could follow through on the second part I wanted to do…cut my hair back to what I normally look like. It had about 13 months and the place I used to go … Continue reading
So far the Snyder Cut is rather weird
Jennifer split for Padre to have a long weekend with her mom, daughter and friend so I decided to use the time to finally watch the long awaited Snyder Cut of the terrible Justice League. Hmm. I wasn’t expecting this cameo … Continue reading

RIP James Hampton
James was a Brian Dennehy character actor. You recognize his face. You remember him being in a couple movies and/or TV shows yet you can’t name the poor guy. And maybe that was just fine with James because he had … Continue reading
