But only if Texas is in play…which it is not
I still think Banking Biden alongside Harris is a terrible ticket given how poorly they did in the primaries and debates. Plus they represent the Establishment’s status quo so I know if they’re elected, come November 4, 2020; it’s back to … Continue reading
Today’s Mood (September 2020)
My interpretation of this picture is this. The “balloons” are keeping me going but I dare not let go since there’s a giant canyon ready to swallow me up.
Dallas Stars heading to the Stanley Cup
Just my luck, the year the Dallas-based Stars, parent team to my Stars (my loyalty in the NHL remains with the Flyers) defeated the Las Vegas Knights. I think this is their first Cup run since 2000. I wish I … Continue reading
Creative vandalism for Walgreens
What an inventive way to entertain us all since Walgreens and CVS are frequent destinations in these trying times. Quick aside. All through high school, I always thought “Take Me To The River” was a Talking Heads original because that … Continue reading
Crappy 2020 summed up, September 2020 addendum
Who in their right mind devised this? Yogurt lacks the viscosity to be a soda! Sure there’s Gogurt which I doubt exists or sells well anymore. However, this? Eww! What’s more puzzling is the flavor. Mint? It must be something … Continue reading
Ultimate Star Wars trivia test for DragonCon
Last week DragonCon was held last week and like anything that could be salvaged this year, it was virtual (blech!). Besides the mixed news like the latest Dune trailer (good) or the cancellation of The Venture Brothers (crappy), there was a Star Wars trivia … Continue reading
AHL Teams have been busy during the Pandemic
Since the minor leagues don’t have that much money on the line, they didn’t bother to finish out their seasons. Kind of sucked! I think my Stars would’ve pulled through in the clutch to be playoff contenders for their fourth … Continue reading
Vegas
The fourth installment (of seven) of Jennifer’s cats. We’re hoping it will stay at this number, or lower should anyone pass away in the interim because we’re now fostering an unwanted mama cat and her litter of five adorable kittens. … Continue reading
RIP Diana Rigg
Diana was one of my first boyhood crushes thanks to The Avengers reruns on CBS late night (long before they tried to compete with Johnny Carson). It was exciting and bewildering at the same time to see a lady kicking ass … Continue reading
Austin casualties update: Cap City Comedy Club
Alongside I Love Video, another Eighties Institution and Survivor closed its doors for good. Originally Cap City was a Laff Stop franchise during the Eighties’ Comedy Boom, when places as tiny as Springfield, IL had a club! When the Comedy … Continue reading
The Burger Wars’ first casualty…Fuddruckers
Since they’re owned by the same people who threw in the towel on Luby’s and this chain has fewer than 200 restaurants, we shouldn’t be shocked to see Fuddrucker’s (or it’s future names in Idiocracy) go down. Before the 2020 Pandemic, … Continue reading
Beloved institutional cafeteria chain Luby’s is done
Here’s another place whose demise I’m sure will be blamed on Millenials…Luby’s! For those of you who don’t live in Texas, it’s the equivalent MCL or Old Country Buffet. As you can guess, the food was made for the elderly’s … Continue reading
The Venture Brothers is cancelled, 2020 keeps on suckin’
Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer made it official at Dragon Con, the most innovative show Adult Swim had to offer is now over, loose ends and all. It was the bright spot of what for a long time was just … Continue reading
The crappy Summer of 2020 is over
Labor Day in the States is here which is the traditional ending to Summer (Vacation). The point when the Earth crosses a particular spot in space is about 20 days away yet we Americans like to wrap it up with … Continue reading
Dumbkirk
If you missed the news this weekend, a flotilla of Trumpkins terrorized Lake Travis with hilarious results! Being Trumpkins, the disaster was everyone else’s fault but their own as they posted it on FaceBook, a platform only they trust as … Continue reading
