GOING ON INDEFINITE HIATUS
After 32 years of this and 25 online, I have decided to give up and say, FUCK THIS! It has mostly been throwing thousands of messages in a bottle with little response. Few of if anyone gives a shit given … Continue reading
Good joke about a rather lame episode and casting issue
This is a dig at a rather disappointing episode from the early Nineties Next Generation period called “The Chase.” If it were done today via the Paramount+ regime, the execution would more likely be a more satisfying mini-arc within Strange New Worlds or a … Continue reading
Lucky Logan
Currently, the laziest and most popular screed we’re subjected to is either “the MCU is played out” or Star Wars, take your pick if you think it will make you sound smarter than you really are. One such critic is Martin … Continue reading

My first root canal
Contrary to this hilarious scene starring Steve Martin in one of his best supporting roles, the operation to kill the nerve under my lost filling went with little difficulty. Now I have to wait until the original dentist I was … Continue reading
Comedy doesn’t work with knuckle draggers
This dig at MAGAts is courtesy of a clip making the rounds… Some pretty uncivil shit right there and yet the Centrists who still can’t make up their mind on who they should (or will) vote for, wag fingers … Continue reading
It’s time for Kaitlin’s 31 Days of Halloween Costumes!
I’ve been so far up my own ass I almost forgot about this cool tradition started by a friend I made named Kaitlin. I usually see her with or without her equally awesome husband, at Austin’s comedy festivals, the nicer … Continue reading
1997: The Cartoon Network matures! Part 2: New shows!
The Header should be showing significant changes that reflect all the shows the Cartoon Network began to add and/or create year by year. In 1997, the channel was now home to brand new material created by the Hanna-Barbera Studio thanks … Continue reading
ACL Fest is back to ruin Austin further
One of the downsides to COVID being “over,” the return of this bullshit. What’s even more pathetic is how the lineup for ACL Fest is 90% the same as Coachella, Lolapalooza and every other gathering Ticketmaster devoured. So if you’ve … Continue reading
Loretta Lynn addendum
As the cliché goes, “don’t speak ill of the dead,” but I’ve always thought that was bullshit especially when the dead person was a monster (David Koch, Phyllis Schaffley, St. Reagan, etc.). Now Loretta wasn’t a monster or even close. … Continue reading

Rest in Peace Judy Tenuta
Crap! We lost the giver goddess, petite flower, Diet Dr. Pepper spokesperson, accordion aficionado and all around hilarious person. I had been following her on her Twitter feed so I knew Judy was undergoing treatment for cancer. I didn’t know … Continue reading

Nerf® gets in on ST:NG‘s 35th anniversary!
I stumbled upon these during Hasbro’s online convention going on about the Selfie Action figures. My original reaction was, oh yeah, Hasbro bought the Nerf people years ago. OK, I have no recollection when they did since all the major … Continue reading
RIP Loretta Lynn
I’m still not a big fan of Country Music, especially the mass-produced, over polished style nicknamed Nash Vegas as per Webb Wilder. Yet I have respect for Loretta given how she wrote a song called/about “The Pill.” A rather taboo … Continue reading
Work continues to disappoint
The gig I landed as a rotation didn’t pan out into a permanent position even though a requisition opened up. Rather frustrating and exhausting. Three rounds and I didn’t get it. Personally, I don’t know why there were three. From … Continue reading
Giving Italian-American History month a break for 2022
Since the Cartoon Network turning 30 was more fun I decided to table the traditional stuff about Italian Heritage and pizza. They’ll return in 2023 and hopefully I will have new, interesting people to write about. During the “off season,” … Continue reading
The Exchange
Prez Grampa’ Brunch may have declared the Pandemic over and told us to just live with it, once again proving the Leftists’ point in how there is NO MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE between the modern Democrats (really the NeoLiberal Party) and psycho … Continue reading
