The side that came with the main course
So my friend Jeremy ordered fast food recently in the Netherlands. Nevermind the sandwich/burger/hot dog thing he ordered, he said it was a letdown; instead of fries, potato chips or a full serving of onion rings, he got this. Spring … Continue reading
NBA & NHL plans will always have an asterisk next to 2020
The NBA owners approved their plan to have a big tournament in Orlando and I can’t remember if the NHL was going to do theirs. Let’s face it though, there’s never going to be a solution to please everybody because … Continue reading
First full-day of work with painful elbow
It went pretty well. Still hurt like the dickens whenever I stretched or did any activity involving my left arm straightening out. The key thing I needed which I put into the success category was typing! Ergo, my fingers and … Continue reading
Space X must’ve docked
The news has been riddled with more riots over the unnecessary murder of George Floyd and since American Media goes with if it bleeds, it leads…everything went according to plan with Space X docking at ISS. At least one funny thing … Continue reading
Good Boys
Hollywood dips into the Superbad/Booksmart well one more time with Tweeners and the results are predictable. All the best jokes were wasted in the trailer. Did I mention these are the morons who gave us the unfunny Sausage Party? Well, I … Continue reading

The month’s header
Twenty-five years ago, my first great Summer in Austin got rolling. The year before sucked for my new home and as for the other years, I would say I hadn’t had a really decent Summer since 1991. To be fair … Continue reading
June/Summer off to a great start
I’ve been out of commission for several days thanks to tennis. Now I’m confident a bunch of you will go with the cliché, oh you got tennis elbow. How I wish! I did injure my elbow but it was from … Continue reading
Space X was successful, part one
The rocket is on its way to put the two astronauts into orbit, this only takes less than 20 minutes. Now will come the tense 19 hours for the capsule to sync up with the ISS and succeed at docking. … Continue reading
A LEGO execution
This execution method is only possible if the minifigure hasn’t been modified by the infamous kragl!
Picard: one season
It took JJ Abrams’ cabal of mediocrity to get Patrick Stewart to play one Jean-Luc Picard again. They surprisingly pulled it off too by utilizing the power of streaming as per Discovery: more violence and swearing than allowed on the broadcast … Continue reading
An important message from LEGO® Star Wars
Luke Skywalker and Artoo came in from a Galaxy Far, Far Away to remind you that during this time of crisis, social distancing is vital to defeating the virus.
The Ultimate Cartoon Shirt!
Check it out! A shirt featuring practically every new show Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network produced in the Nineties and Aughts! The only missing shows I can immediately call out are My Gym Partner’s a Monkey, All Grown Up, Evil con Carne and Catscratch. Sad … Continue reading

Space X launch delayed
With minutes to go, Florida’s infamous weather scrubbed the launch of America’s first attempt to put people into space in a decade. The Libertarian hard-on will have to wait as they celebrate the privatization of space travel. Even if Ego … Continue reading
HBO Max starts today
A new opponent enters the Streaming Wars and I have to admit HBO Max is a heavy hitter. It costs almost three times as much as Disney+ (solo) but WarnerMedia is a deeper catalog in range, quality and let’s face … Continue reading
Another timeshare doohickey to sit through
Normally when I get those pesky phone calls regarding an “owner’s meeting,” I tend to ignore them unless there’s a free meal and then quickly say no thanks to whatever they’re promoting. It turned out to be an hour well spent … Continue reading
