Upgraded to Executive Level at Costco!
Jennifer finally added me to her Costco card so I don’t have to keep borrowing hers and putting my thumb on the photo to “trick” the cashier. Yeah, one actually bothered to give me the third degree! While we were … Continue reading
Renaissance Faire/Fest was great
Brought back two bottles of mead which has been a mystery and a staple of D&D for decades. Allegedly, it’s the favorite booze amongst elves or dwarves or gnomes, take your pick. It isn’t something you can get easily at … Continue reading
1981: Call of Cthulhu debuts on book/game shelves!
Chaosium with Sandy Petersen (yes, the same guy behind Doom) published what I would call the consummate Horror Roleplaying Game. What D&D is to Fantasy, CoC is to Horror. Sadly, there will never be one for my beloved Science Fiction … Continue reading
A little Dune humor that’s at least a decade late
I always preferred what Evil MoPac says, “He who controls the Pumpkin Spice, controls all the White Girls (Susies).” And before you ask, yes, I managed to catch the movie on opening weekend and I’ll write about it…eventually since I’m … Continue reading
Veterans Day at 102
It would be nice to have a world in which we no longer had veterans since we finally eradicate all the dumb wars we wage. Of course, the Republicans and MAGATs love to go for the simple-minded and out of … Continue reading
1971: “Stairway to Heaven” released
Technically it was Monday but this week in Popular Music History, the song which defines Led Zeppelin, whether Robert Plant likes it or not, was released. When I was growing up, I only heard it Sunday evenings on WLS as … Continue reading
RIP Dean Stockwell
A really cool actor passed away over the weekend and from reading other obits about him, I would’ve never guessed that Dune (1984) was his comeback after being a tad blacklisted for being part of Dennis Hopper’s whacky crew. Dean’s brief … Continue reading

Aaron Rodgers should be fined to the maximum
Of course Chicago fans are having a field day, as they should, and there’s no limit to their schadenfreude because their team will miss the playoffs yet again. Many can dish it out but they sure can’t take it when … Continue reading
Some changes on the breakfast sandwiches I make
Last month I started imitating a TikTok movie Jennifer showed me how to make those delicious yet pricey breakfast sandwiches you can buy at Starbucks. Recently, I ditched the ciabatta rolls. They’re too leathery to eat most days and they … Continue reading
Happy Caturday November 2021!
Agamemnon will follow this blanket to wherever it can be found. This is what I get for using it to cover up a box for reasons I completely forgot due to how cute he looks while sleeping the afternoon away. … Continue reading
Take that Science!
Nobody illustrates the craziness of people as well as Monty Python’s Fly Circus in how these people could also be against the vaccine for polio, whooping cough and small pox. Three things which are deadlier than COVID-19 and should you survive … Continue reading
Well, they wouldn’t respond if “career” were used
This is when and why writing headlines can be great fun!
We know that racism-sexism carried the day in Virginia
I’m not sure what’s worse. The GOP sweeping Virginia or the Punditocracy’s Hive Mind repeating the talking points (aka lies and horrible guesses) about how the voters are rejecting Grampa’ Brunch, the Progressive Caucus and how the GOP will take … Continue reading
Don’t forget to vote today, futile as it feels
Remember to get out there, this is a stealth-year cycle in which your local shitbird leaders expect very low turnout alongside the Christo-Fascists pushing their theocratic agendas. Read the endorsements. You don’t have to agree and vote as they say. … Continue reading
Welcome to November 2021!
Originally I was going to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Call of Cthulhu debuting as a roleplaying game but it wouldn’t be sincere. I’ve only played the game a few times and I am trying to get more familiar with it because … Continue reading
