Even the bridge’s viewscreen needs a pop-up blocker!
Good thing Captain Kirk doesn’t share the Enterprise‘s content with our current shit for brains Speaker of the House. This reminds me how I need to pony up for a quick month of Paramount+ so I can binge watch Picard, Lower Decks and Strange New … Continue reading
That is one interpretation of “Mambo Number Five”
The hit you couldn’t escape about 24 years ago…was secretly a song about cannibalism!
Wrong Answer! November 2023
For many Star Trek diehards, to boldly go is a phrase they’d barely get to use in the bedroom, well, except solo. Now I’m thinking about the cute lady in Vegas who was the Andorian at the Las Vegas Hilton and her … Continue reading
Finally deployed/migrated to my new M3!
Greetings from my new M3 MacBook Pro! It arrived mid last week which is pretty sweet given how Apple only announced their existence a fortnight ago (I don’t like to repeat if I can find a similar word). It lives … Continue reading
RIP Roman Cechmanek
When I was really getting into the NHL courtesy of EA’s 2001 game for my newish PS2, Roman was Philly’s hot new goalie and GM Clarke traded Brian Boucher to Phoenix for Robert Esche to assure him. It didn’t matter … Continue reading
Rent A Pal
This was a really enjoyable Indie from the IFC Horror people since it paints Wil Wheaton as the villain but if you watch it all the way through, you’ll see it’s debatable. The plot involves David, a 40-year-old man who … Continue reading
A little more levity for Caturday!
The last couple days had been pretty heavy, voting, Nazi pushes and nuclear war. I’m going for a little more fun again. Besides, my Stars won and I enjoyed the comedy of Jackie and her friend Laurie! Jennifer said this … Continue reading
Codename: Outhouse
Hearing Zap Brannigan’s voice yelling “Gooo! Me!” from the parody GI Zap is even funnier in this context. I know, the jokes are too easy. A GI Joe action figure with a plunger and a really awful stench. In reality, it’s … Continue reading
1923: The Nazi Beer Hall Putsch
The world never learns…is what I am concluding because on this day a century ago, Hitler and 2000 of his Nazi goons tried to overthrow Munich’s government. They reasoned if this succeeded, then a popular uprising against the Weimar Republic … Continue reading
The mixed outcome of Texas politics
No major offices up for grabs in Texas, just the usual bamboozling of the public via props since the legislature doesn’t want their fingerprints on such regressive moves. For a bunch of assholes who point the finger at California on … Continue reading
1983: Operation Able Archer 83 almost ended the world
Seriously, 40 years ago, the world almost ended in a fiery nuclear holocaust. If you want to know even more in great, great depth, I highly recommend the podcast Snafu hosted by Ed Helms. I’ll just give a synopsis. Thanks … Continue reading
The case for birth control November 2023
Even when I was a more stalwart, more socially conservative Democrat in my teens and college years, I have never understood this schmucks. Alpha? I’m pretty confident it’s not based upon Brave New World because we’re all certain they’ve never read … Continue reading
Great time again at Italian conversation club
Oh I still have a lot to catch up on but it was great to run into an even bigger group of fluent and native speakers. I remain at the listening level which reminded me last night to get cranking … Continue reading
Why the GOP and the Economist are full of crap, Nov. 23
I need to have this handy for all the dickheads, usually right-wing economists and their flunkies, when they attack the Green New Deal or environmental legislation that allegedly kills jerbs! None of it will matter if we’re dead and/or slowly … Continue reading
An oldie of Aggie being goofy
Pulled and oldie but goodie of Agamemnon in a goofy sleeping pose back when I still was saddled with that ugly-ass couch. OK, it was easier to fall asleep watching TV on. I have no memory nor idea how he … Continue reading
