1981: The first DeLorean rolls off the production line
Given its history of problems in production, rolling off the line would be a compliment and accurate. Johnny Carson’s died as soon as it left the dealership. So…pushed by the workers to a delivery truck? Despite the car being a … Continue reading
e-mail Etiquette is lacking with Generation Z?
A rather interesting opinion piece about how Gen Z does/doesn’t know how to write an e-mail, especially to their university instructors. Having been and continuing to be an avid user of this medium, I saw some of the writer’s point … Continue reading
The Muppet Show returns via Disney+
The Evil Entertainment Empire will finally let this beloved syndicated show out of the vault and of course the big question…what took so long? Emperor Mickey fell through on the last two seasons on DVD over a decade ago plus … Continue reading
Civics…Texas Style
Yet oddly, weed isn’t legal here.
Farewell Phil Spector
The debate over who’s responsible for the Wall of Sound Spector is credited for will go on forever yet he did contribute immensely to Popular Music. Phil comes more into play for my generation by working with the Ramones since … Continue reading

My first attempt at “fancy” cooking in a while
Yesterday, it was my turn to resolve dinner because Jennifer got a one-time gig to administer CV-19 vaccinations; I think she inoculated over 300 people too. I wanted to try something different instead of takeout. Plus I’m trying to impress … Continue reading
Disenchantment shirt that’s overdue
In honor of Disenchantment‘s third season kicking off this weekend, I finally remembered to post a good shirt someone made via TeePublic. I need to do some more research to see if any more gear has been made of this show. … Continue reading

Political arm/party of terrorist organization moves to Dallas
That is the correct and more accurate headline regarding the NRA’s latest move to escape the scrutiny of New York (state). Their claims of “toxic” environment are laughable. New York investigators discovered embezzlement, fraud and other side hustles these shitbags … Continue reading
Special Chucks to celebrate my graduation! MU30, Part 1
Current events and exhaustion kept this mini-gallery from being posted along with its companion piece reminiscing about how it was merely 30 years ago I graduated from university. I stupidly missed the one-day Black Friday offer on the site so … Continue reading
Soul: Pixar rebounds…for now
What a pisser that I didn’t get to see this for the first time at Alamo Drafthouse for Soul was definitely an event movie and I can only imagine them having some original snipe before the main attraction. Oh, of course … Continue reading
A belated farewell to (Adobe) Flash
This browser plug-in to make animation and simple games work kept the Internet from being 99% dominated by porno; today it’s probably in the 80% department. I honestly don’t know what the real numbers are but I do consider 99% … Continue reading
What used to be a common sighting in the Eighties
Not the machine necessarily but vehicles with at least a cabinet or two getting transported from one location to another, often arcades. This Missile Command cabinet was in pretty good shape from what I could tell. I didn’t have any … Continue reading
Burn in hell Sheldon Adelson
He was a real life C. Montgomery Burns since he and his flaks call him a “patriot,” since their definition means, a person who feels they have the right to piss on other Americans’ human rights, legal rights and freedom … Continue reading
Agamemnon’s first encounter with snow
I wanted to see his reaction to this weather since cats vary when it comes to snow. As you watch you’ll realize, he’s my cat alright. Isis was spared this because she spent a good chunk of her earlier … Continue reading
Snowmageddon 2021
A quick sample of how thick, lasting and messy yesterday’s snow “storm” was. Personally, I thought it wasn’t going to happen. Then we had several hours of icy rain to set the conditions for snow. It also stuck because the … Continue reading
