1995: Windows 95 hits the streets around now

Posted on August 26, 2020 by Steve

Windows 95 was the first major upgrade to PCs in four-to-five years and Microsoft’s latest attempt to make their clunky GUI more Mac-like…without paying for it. Many hack comedians and Doonsebury went for all the easy jokes on the software’s initial flaws … Continue reading →

In time for Taco Tuesdays!

Posted on August 25, 2020 by Steve

They also come in corn as well. However, I would recommend not putting in the meat while it’s still sizzling and be reasonable with the guacamole and/or sour cream, you don’t want to suffocate. Silly photo courtesy of Pee Wee … Continue reading →

Why they’re the same, convention edition

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Steve

It’s my rebuttal to all the Biden-Pelosi apologists. The Democrats have no fucking clue nor any concern about how much America is hurting. The Republicans only care about rich people and the Democrats…different rich people, often big tech billionaires who … Continue reading →

I hope the king doesn’t kill the messenger

Posted on August 23, 2020 by Steve

Wizk!ds is another reason why I wish I could live another 20-30 years. Their painted/unpainted miniatures for D&D and other roleplaying games. Man, when I was much younger with more time to enjoy gaming, we didn’t have such a good … Continue reading →

My nephews and Anje got out of quarantine (self-imposed, you know how moronic Texas is) to join Jennifer and me to have dinner at Chuy’s (the one super far south). Man, I can’t wait for this frickin’ pandemic to end! … Continue reading →

Today’s mood

Posted on August 20, 2020 by Steve

This in a nutshell is why America is the most overrated country in History as CV-19 and the elections of shit-for-brains POTUSes (St. Reagan, Dubious Bush and Orange Foolius) have exposed its weaknesses, myths and vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, “dying, old” Europe … Continue reading →

Chocolate snow!!!

Posted on August 19, 2020 by Steve

Not everything has been crappy for 2020, as per this story from The Guardian, a “happy” accident occurred in Switzerland. As cool as chocolate snow would be, I can’t recommend it around Austin due to the stifling hot weather we have. … Continue reading →

Dumb kid with LEGO stuck in his nose for two years

Posted on August 17, 2020 by Steve

I suppose getting everyone’s beloved plastic building block stuck in a orifice is the new “swallowing a penny,” for small kids. Given that pennies are useless as most countries have wisely ditched them. Anyway, the details on this stupid child … Continue reading →

The myth of Antifa

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Steve

This is a nice counter cartoon mocking how the Trumpkins can only blame themselves when their racism and terrorist ties are brought to light. Allegedly, these morons are using the policies to slow/stop of the spread of CV-19 as the … Continue reading →

Rot in Hell…James “Big Jim” Thompson

Posted on August 15, 2020 by Steve

Ren & Stimpy are returning too?

Posted on August 14, 2020 by Steve

Comedy Central has decided to flog this dead horse in addition to Beavis & Butt-Head. With the latter, I don’t mind, dumbasses such as those two transcend any decade (e.g. Biff from Back to the Future could be their grandfather, really). Ren & … Continue reading →

Bracing kids for the new “normal”

Posted on August 13, 2020 by Steve

I‘m guessing it’s best to crush children’s souls now since working from home is going to be standard operating procedure until…forever given how long it will take to make a viable vaccine. You can also tell by the colored dots … Continue reading →
