The wubba lubba dub dub is strong in this one!
Spotted at Dragon’s Lair. My favorite touch is Mr. Meseeks as the Darth Vader proxy and the Smiths standing by cluelessly where the droids resided. Can’t wait for the new episodes in July this Summer!
The new Star Wars Battle Pod game is weak
I was so stoked when I saw the preview and articles regarding this successor to the old 1983 video game I still play at Pinballz. Well I got my opportunity to play it a couple times at Dave & Busters … Continue reading
Farewell David Letterman
It was an amazing run for David Letterman. He outlasted his predecessor and hero Johnny Carson by four years. What’s more impressive is that David received a second chance which was ridiculed by SNL, pundits and fans of Tom Snyder, aka … Continue reading
Stars and Rampage get the shaft next season
I was pretty stoked about the upcoming Pacific Division and return of the Winnipeg Moose next season in the AHL. However, I forgot the board of governors probably wanted to emulate the NHL’s clunky four-division set up which is what … Continue reading

Snake Mountain is a alive with the sounds of…
A light-hearted take on He-Man’s nemesis Skeletor. I guess he never really wanted to rule all of Eternia but his evil parents forced him into their line of work. Skeletor had a promising signing career they dashed. I can hear … Continue reading
Multi-Pass!

A belated farewell to Highland Mall
As April drew to a close, so did the limping finale to Highland Mall. Unlike the frequent sad fates of other malls as per Dead Malls, Highland will live on with a better purpose…a campus for Austin Community College (ACC). … Continue reading
So will Maggi Picayune be shifting to Volume VI soon?
I wish I knew but while I was home sick, I did do some heavy and deep reflecting over the last few months. Not just about work. Many tangential elements centered around me, me and me! I mean, I have … Continue reading
Avengers: Age of Ultron Must See
The Marvelverse succeeded in victory number 11 as I once asked in Guardians of the Galaxy. Now we also know that the answer to what Disney has bet the farm on for number 12 to take the title away from Pixar…Ant-Man … Continue reading
Harry Shearer leaving The Simpsons would be a good ending
The primary story/explanation of Harry leaving so he can pursue other projects is absolute crap in my opinion. Hank Azaria and Julie Kavner still act in movies, TV and plays while Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartright continue to provide voices in … Continue reading
Some overdue good news involving Las Vegas
Now that my recent relapse of the flu has subsided, I can finally get back to what I enjoy, namely writing/posting good news. Last week had a doozy. Drum roll please… Our final timeshare deed is now paid in full! … Continue reading
Let’s hear it for the rain in Central Texas…
…we sure needed it but its side effect has been making me feel like crap. The symptoms I have are similar to a cold/flu yet I don’t have a temperature. Could’ve fooled the rest of my body given the headache … Continue reading

Free Comic Book Day 2015!
Nerd High Holiday Number Three and the oldest of them has grown enormously this year. There was quite a line in front of Rogues Gallery. I wasn’t there as soon as they opened because I had the opportunity to have … Continue reading
Andy Kindler & Eddie Pepitone
These two comedy staples I ran into by accident at the after party. Andy I recognized instantly but I knew immediately when I saw the NY Rangers cap he was talking to Eddie. I’m confident most of you friends are … Continue reading

Study says most people stop listening to new stuff after 33…
…my immediate response to that was, no shit. If you removed my friends Chip, Mark, Angela and me, it would drop to 26 in my opinion, 22 if it were just the Midwest, or as I often call it, the … Continue reading
