Happy Belated Birthday to Mark!
I think ever since I was invited to his birthday party 10 years ago, which occurred on the 30th, I continue to mistake his birthday as then, it’s really the 29th. It still slipped my mind anyway. Fear not, he’s my … Continue reading

A rather aggressive breakfast
Borrowing the joke from Animal House, I remembered this ol’ gem from high school when Toaster Strudel first appeared in the Eighties. It was on sale at HEB this week so I scored a couple boxes to reminisce what Brian, Cousin … Continue reading

Better than an asterisk by his name
If you lived in Austin, you’d have a front-row seat to what an asshole Lance Armstrong is, his phony-baloney “charity” and the stench of his political ambitions which I’m hoping are derailed by the doping scandal. Maybe he’ll go hang … Continue reading

Finally…all the old posts are done. New contest inside!
A project that was over five years in the procrastinating after I made the shift from Blojsom to WordPress. There was no easy way to convert so I undertook the tedious process of literally copying and pasting the text in. It … Continue reading

Monsters University: Rental
So far the Summer Movies of 2013 have been rather mediocre. Monsters University was one film I was stoked about seeing because I loved Monsters, Inc. Sequels are often cynical ploys by Hollywood’s accountants to make a quick, lazy buck but Pixar proved this criticism … Continue reading
RIP Alan Myers
The surnames Mothersbaugh and Casale are often what everyone thinks of when Devo is mentioned. For 35 years, the Spudboys have been mostly those two sets of brothers. Alan was the drummer who backed them throughout the salad days, the … Continue reading

Belated 19th anniversary to the Jimenezes
Yesterday was 19 years of marriage for Tammy and Nelson. I clearly remember the weekend in Milwaukee too because whenever I hear someone complain about how damn hot it is here, I quickly have flashbacks of how cold I was. … Continue reading
RIP Richard Matheson
Matheson is mostly remembered for being the author of I am Legend, the only Sci-Fi book I can recall being made into a movie three times; I’ve only seen the Seventies version known as The Omega Man (it’s very Seventies). For me he is … Continue reading

I’m on a shoe Mr. J!
Mostly everyone’s favorite evil, crazy, lovesick henchman Harley Quinn stars on her own Converse Hi-Top Chuck. I’m not sure why Converse chose purple as a primary color when Harley’s costume uses red with black. The artwork is reminiscent of Alan Davis’s style. … Continue reading
It will be a boy!
Our friends Kristin and Jeremy got the results from their sonogram a few days ago. As the headline states, the baby due in November will be male. Obviously Somara and I are gathering up ideas on clothes, toys, etc. for … Continue reading

These finally arrived!
This November will mark the 50th anniversary of the BBC’s Doctor Who TV series. To celebrate, the Royal Post (the UK’s USPS) issued these really bitchin’ stamps with the faces of all 11 actors. Sadly, the first three passed away and … Continue reading

Kill Playmo-Bill!
The katana came from a different random figure, a Chinese warrior. Despite the outfit and hair being the wrong colors, everyone gets the joke. I originally thought this lady figure was an EMT worker but when put together her suitcase, … Continue reading

Man of Steel: Rental
DC’s cornerstone and oldest character celebrated his 75th birthday, hence yet another reboot after the disappointing Superman Returns, not to mentions Superman III and IV, the latter being the punchline to this joke: What can kill Superman? Kryptonite? No, another sequel? Given the success … Continue reading
Belated congrats to the Griffins!
Finally, for at least the first time in four season, a Western Conference team has won the Calder Cup! I would’ve preferred it to be my Stars but I am willing to settle for Detroit’s proxy because it wasn’t OKC … Continue reading
