Rest in Peace Kody
With much sadness for I was too late to finally cover this cute little girl kitty in my section about Jennifer’s seven cats (this would’ve been number six). However…I’m going to try as I hold back the tears. This was … Continue reading
Richland Coyotes win a nail biter…for once
No, the scoreboard you’re seeing is correct. This was a football game, not a basketball game. This was the outcome of West Texas’ six-on-six style of the state religion. Where Jennifer grew up, the population centers are so small, few … Continue reading
Quick, get McBain on the line!
While en route to Richland for a football game, this gravel truck was spotted. Screw Qanon, the real conspiracy is Senator Mendoza running an illegal drug-smuggling operation for years! OK, it’s just goofiness since I’ve been watching The Simpsons on Disney+ … Continue reading
Coca-Cola finally stops making Tab
Holy cow! This crap was still being made‽ (Been a while since I’ve used an interrobang.) I figured it had faded away by the Aughts with the dominance of Diet Coke and Coke Zero. Then again, how often do you … Continue reading
Spotted in Houston
This billboard was oddly rented in a predominantly Hispanic part of Houston, not exactly Orange Foolius country. Many accolades to the brave people who succeeded in not getting caught nor arrested in this act of resistance to fascism/monarchy. It counters … Continue reading
Martian sunset or sunrise?
Somebody posted this on Twitter. It’s probably from a probe with functioning cameras. The three bright dots in the Martian sky are Venus, Earth and Jupiter. Given that Mars’ atmosphere is one percent the density of ours, it’s probably easier … Continue reading
“Good morning!” – Testa
Initially, this appears cute but given that Testuggine is only a few weeks old, she might be ready to pluck my eyeballs out instead of attacking my beard (her favorite toy). She and her siblings are progressing. They no longer … Continue reading
Just in time for season two
Well, this was something I didn’t notice in the two teaser trailers for The Mandalorian. I would’ve bought it if the little green “yodas” were petrified marshmallows. Not to humble-brag but even as a kid, I never liked those so-called marshmallows … Continue reading
Delos upgrades Pence’s firmware
I had to get on the bandwagon mocking Pence being oblivious to a fly landing on his head and staying there for two minutes. Westworld jokes must be passé too since I’m the only one I know to bother making the … Continue reading
Lazy Caturday for October 2020
Prince has the right idea on how to spend the weekend. It’s good to see him progressing since he was the most problematic in the litter but Jennifer was persistent in getting him on the right track. This entailed forced … Continue reading
Trump discovers The Cure!
Anything is possible but he’d still be an asshole like the Republican Vampire character Andy French had to deal with on Mission Hill.
My Crow(bot) arrived!
After a couple months of waiting and waiting and other crap I don’t want to talk about, Crow finally arrived. He needed a little assembling which was really easy but I guarantee you, this puppet is 99% like the one … Continue reading
1960: The Flintstones debut on ABC
This revelation is a week late because I’m not always on top of cartoon history but I thank The Guardian for having a thoughtful article about this watershed anniversary. By the time I was born, The Flintstones was syndicated and shown daily on … Continue reading
RIP: Eddie Van Halen
This year just won’t let up on the crappy news will it? However, in 2020’s defense, Eddie had been in poor health for some time given his years of hard drinking and drugs which was mandatory when Van Halen ruled … Continue reading
COVID-19 Bingo Card!
Now we can all play at home to see which sycophants from the inner circle got infected since they didn’t wear a mask and think Jesus will protect them from reality.
