The adult feral cat has been turned in for TnR
Still don’t know which gender this cat was but we made no progress on getting them to calm down, plus they’re a bad influence on the two kittens. Yesterday was the final straw as they tore a hole in the … Continue reading
Snappy Replies to Stupid Answers #1
Definitely a great, truthful cartoon mocking why we all need to press our advantage with dipshit interviewers while the job market is good. By now, everyone knows “competitive” means “We’re still going to squeeze you” alongside, “We have no fucking … Continue reading
We have a new cat playground-jungle gym!
Jennifer is just spoiling the new kitten we got and I’m OK with that. It was also a reason to pay her son Mason for some extra chores by having him assemble this beast of a setup. I’ll have to … Continue reading
Well…duh! (Aug ’23 edition)
If someone does succeed, I gotta know how they pulled it off!
A birthday gift to myself from Fright Rags #2
In honor of War Games turning 40 along with how well the artist combined the artwork from all those awesome Atari 2600 game boxes…I wanted this! I was never wild about the movie when it was in theaters and I didn’t … Continue reading
Meet the Summer Fosters
One surprise over my birthday weekend was picking up these three. The two kittens are female. The semi-adult is too hostile to tell. So far the gray tuxedo is the most mellow and will be the easiest to domesticate. Currently, … Continue reading
Welcome Klothos (aka Chloe)!
There is a new kitten in the Maggi house and she’s very bonded to Jennifer, it was in a matter of hours! Her name is Klothos, one of the three Fates from Greek mythology. She is a Highland Lynx (hence … Continue reading
RIP Paul “Pee-wee Herman” Reubens
CRAP! I hate it when a link on Twitter leads to bad news but those bastards behind Social Media got us! Now to wait for the Fresh Air episode of when he was a guest. Paul was a very talented Comedian … Continue reading

A birthday gift to myself from Fright Rags #1
It’s an obscure little joke from Weird Al’s movie UHF. Not sure why the only reseller I’ve ever found that make this focuses on Horror but I’m good. Much like my Star Wars shirt with Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman on it, … Continue reading

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes as I made it to 55!
It’s what one former roommate called the double nickels. How fitting, it’s the partially the title of the only Minutemen album I know! Double Nickels on the Dime. Today was pretty good and mellow. As money has been tight due to … Continue reading
RIP Sinead O’Connor and Randy Meisner
I’m going by order of the news announcing their passing, not by how much I actually enjoyed their work. First is the sad death of Sinead O’Connor. I was never a big fan of her stuff which mostly came out … Continue reading
RIP to Alan Arkin
One big overdue tribute to a comedy legend alongside two rather recent passings. I wanted to get them out of the way before my big 55 day tomorrow since nothing but fun, fun and happiness over the next 24 hours! … Continue reading

Something Mickey D’s of the US should consider
One suggestion, they should offer this sandwich in grilled form because the middle bun is too much bread. Then again, why does the Big Mac have that stupid bun? I’m guessing it’s an appearance thing. Ray Kroc was a tightwad … Continue reading
Bugs Bunny is 83!
To counter my digs at someone else, let’s hear it for my animal-spirit guide! You know I’m wearing one of my three pairs of Chucks featuring him too. I really also want to say “You’re doing a great job” to … Continue reading
Gary Gygax would’ve been 85 today
I guess his ears were burning from the grave since my sensei and great friend Lester and I had a fantastic conversation last Sunday. Obviously, we revisited the GDW days along with our work on Gygax’s underwhelming comeback. I don’t … Continue reading
