Quick, get McBain on the line!

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Steve

While en route to Richland for a football game, this gravel truck was spotted. Screw Qanon, the real conspiracy is Senator Mendoza running an illegal drug-smuggling operation for years! OK, it’s just goofiness since I’ve been watching The Simpsons on Disney+ … Continue reading →

Coca-Cola finally stops making Tab

Posted on October 16, 2020 by Steve

Holy cow! This crap was still being made‽ (Been a while since I’ve used an interrobang.) I figured it had faded away by the Aughts with the dominance of Diet Coke and Coke Zero. Then again, how often do you … Continue reading →

Spotted in Houston

Posted on October 15, 2020 by Steve

This billboard was oddly rented in a predominantly Hispanic part of Houston, not exactly Orange Foolius country. Many accolades to the brave people who succeeded in not getting caught nor arrested in this act of resistance to fascism/monarchy. It counters … Continue reading →

Martian sunset or sunrise?

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Steve

Somebody posted this on Twitter. It’s probably from a probe with functioning cameras. The three bright dots in the Martian sky are Venus, Earth and Jupiter. Given that Mars’ atmosphere is one percent the density of ours, it’s probably easier … Continue reading →

“Good morning!” – Testa

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Steve

Initially, this appears cute but given that Testuggine is only a few weeks old, she might be ready to pluck my eyeballs out instead of attacking my beard (her favorite toy). She and her siblings are progressing. They no longer … Continue reading →

Just in time for season two

Posted on October 12, 2020 by Steve

Well, this was something I didn’t notice in the two teaser trailers for The Mandalorian. I would’ve bought it if the little green “yodas” were petrified marshmallows. Not to humble-brag but even as a kid, I never liked those so-called marshmallows … Continue reading →

Delos upgrades Pence’s firmware

Posted on October 11, 2020 by Steve

I had to get on the bandwagon mocking Pence being oblivious to a fly landing on his head and staying there for two minutes. Westworld jokes must be passé too since I’m the only one I know to bother making the … Continue reading →

Lazy Caturday for October 2020

Posted on October 10, 2020 by Steve

Prince has the right idea on how to spend the weekend. It’s good to see him progressing since he was the most problematic in the litter but Jennifer was persistent in getting him on the right track. This entailed forced … Continue reading →

Trump discovers The Cure!

Posted on October 9, 2020 by Steve

Anything is possible but he’d still be an asshole like the Republican Vampire character Andy French had to deal with on Mission Hill.

My Crow(bot) arrived!

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Steve

After a couple months of waiting and waiting and other crap I don’t want to talk about, Crow finally arrived. He needed a little assembling which was really easy but I guarantee you, this puppet is 99% like the one … Continue reading →

1960: The Flintstones debut on ABC

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Steve

This revelation is a week late because I’m not always on top of cartoon history but I thank The Guardian for having a thoughtful article about this watershed anniversary. By the time I was born, The Flintstones was syndicated and shown daily on … Continue reading →

RIP: Eddie Van Halen

Posted on October 6, 2020 by Steve

This year just won’t let up on the crappy news will it? However, in 2020’s defense, Eddie had been in poor health for some time given his years of hard drinking and drugs which was mandatory when Van Halen ruled … Continue reading →

COVID-19 Bingo Card!

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Steve

Now we can all play at home to see which sycophants from the inner circle got infected since they didn’t wear a mask and think Jesus will protect them from reality.

RIP: Helen Reddy & Mac Davis

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Steve

These two singers and actors were staples for me growing up in the Seventies. It’s a shame they’re both gone and on the same day. Helen was more like Vicki Lawrence for me, an actress that sang but it was … Continue reading →

Screw the high road

Posted on October 3, 2020 by Steve

When Jennifer told the news yesterday morning, I cheered. I don’t care about this high road bullshit. The South cheered when Lincoln was murdered. The Reagans and their friends threw a party when JFK was murdered. Sen. Turkey Waddle immediately … Continue reading →
