Happy Record Store Day 2015!
Nerd or Geek High Holiday number two! Also the oldest of what many cynics would call a Retail Holiday unlike oh…Christmas Season. Well, I want to praise and not attack as I celebrate one of my favorite memories growing up … Continue reading
Rock/Pop Quiz
Hey, I got 90% right, tell me what you got? Gotta’ love those links courtesy of website for Mental Floss magazine.
Bunny-Ear fun!
Here (or should it be Hear) are the bunny ears I scored from Pinballz with my redemption tickets being put to good use by a co-worker’s adorable daughter. I was informed she was hopping all around the house for a … Continue reading
How I Conquered Your Planet by John Swartzwelder
Swartzwelder’s incompetent detective extraordinaire Frank Burley returns but this time his inevitable foe are the Martians. It’s not a spoiler, the title and the descriptions of particular people Burley picks up at the last bus stop (an empty corn field) … Continue reading
Canadian commercial
I was out sick for the last couple days so here’s a clever commercial from Canada that probably wouldn’t pass Standards & Practice even on Fox. Well, at least our neighbors from the Great White North gave us this to make … Continue reading
We owed the IRS four digits this year
I may be a Liberal (or as they say in areas outside of Austin, Librul) but even I find paying taxes to be on par with mosquito bites. Nobody enjoys them (short of Ned Flanders) yet they’re an inevitable fact … Continue reading
Uncle Maggi with the Lowry Girls!
…plus their cousin and Steve’s noticeable gut! Yesterday I had a great lunch with the younger faction of the California Lowrys at Catfish Parlor. I also had the opportunity to give them their pirates who were appropriately named (by age) … Continue reading
Dr. Hawking “sings” Monty Python
Not the most well-known song by the Pythons but a favorite near the middle of The Meaning of Life. I love all the astronomical facts with it concluding on how we’ve beaten the odds…that we know of.
The three pirate sisters!
Since the Lowrys are in town, I ran out to Terra Toys to make customized female pirates for Ethan and Kelly’s three daughters. You rarely see them in toy form, even Playmobil is guilty of focusing the girl lines toward … Continue reading
Are you pondering what I’m pondering Adam?
I think so Jamie, but isn’t Social Media Expert just another term for Internet Marketer? Yet another great mash-up for the Nineties’ greatest vermin comedy team as Science’s best debunkers in a world filled with crap “reality” TV and a fact-impaired electorate.

American Nations by Colin Woodard
The presidential race already upon us whether we like it or not and the choices suck ass, as of today: Teabagger, Randroid and a DINO. Mr. Woodard’s recent book makes an interesting argument about getting us to rethink the US, … Continue reading
The front yard stray Gilligan
I named him so because he’s my little buddy, plus he’s small and I think the other strays pick on him. Gilligan could’ve been somebody’s abandoned pet due to his friendliness but in my experience, it isn’t a guarantee. How else did … Continue reading

My new “patriotic” beard trimmer!
I was reluctant to replace my last beard trimmer of eight years but the key plastic “rake” part was losing teeth faster than a meth addict. While is just browsing at Target, boom, I spotted this amongst the other male-hygenie … Continue reading
Everyone’s favorite awkward cartoon teen!
Spotted at Dragon’s Lair and worn by a dude who wasn’t me!
