RIP Cindy Morgan

Posted on January 7, 2024 by Steve

Cindy had the dual role for Gen X nerds! Firstly, she was cast as the slut character in the forever funny Caddyshack. Being that it was released in the early Eighties, that means we got to see her in the “all together” … Continue reading →

Agamemnon sporting the cats’ collective present

Posted on January 6, 2024 by Steve

It’s pretty obvious he isn’t keen looking like a bunny given his ferocious reputation he needs to uphold in front of two kittens and many fosters. At least Aggie has their cute little pink noses! I’m guessing he’s also annoyed … Continue reading →

RIP Ruth Carter & David Soul

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Steve

First up is Ruth Carter, a lady who only has decent name recognition in Austin songwriting circles. She and her husband co-wrote a song for the Fabulous Thunderbirds but wrote two larger hits for Stevie Ray Vaughn: “Willie the Wimp” … Continue reading →

1999: Ed, Edd & Eddy

Posted on January 4, 2024 by Steve

The Cartoon Network rolled out its first new Canadian-produced show around this time, I could be wrong, but it was the first one done outside the Hanna-Barbera production teams all else went through. The show’s creator, Danny Antonucci, cut his … Continue reading →

The Last King of Scotland

Posted on January 3, 2024 by Steve

I’m glad before seeing this incredibly inaccurate movie I caught the podcast Real Dictators and a similar show on Netflix. All three sources were spot on about how fucking disastrous Idi Amin was. The movie’s major sins were: Messing with … Continue reading →

Ten million steps!

Posted on January 2, 2024 by Steve

According to the iPhone app Pedometer, I achieved this landmark today! I could’ve been there sooner if it weren’t for COVID-19! It sounds better when you use the caught bad-guy voice from Scooby Doo! The slow progress wasn’t all me being … Continue reading →

Happy New Year from Austin (2024)!

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Steve

Hey hey! We made it to the New Year. Not like there’s a Y2K situation on the horizon but I think there’s something to ponder or sweat when 32-bit processors choke, if they’re still in use. Meanwhile, the weather was … Continue reading →

So long 2023, you started poorly but had a strong finish!

Posted on December 31, 2023 by Steve

Forgot to show off my new Christmas shirt, a great mash-up! Thank you Fright Tees! And so another year comes to a close and we’re on the cusp of a new opportunity. The headline said it best too. After New … Continue reading →

Great, short clip about accents

Posted on December 30, 2023 by Steve

 I miss the days when my French was really starting to congeal before Patricia left for home (France) and as I deal with my struggles in Italian, this video made me laugh while getting me to realize, oh! Then … Continue reading →

The divorce is now 100% over

Posted on December 29, 2023 by Steve

The good news, we’re still friends because we want to be, not that we’re forced to as other former couples due to childcare or real estate. Even then, I think some animosity remains in those situations. I wouldn’t really know … Continue reading →

Nimrata Haley shows her willingness get a D- in US History

Posted on December 28, 2023 by Steve

I wish I could’ve kept up the streak of no politics for the holiday break but the Republican circle jerk to defeat Orange Foolius and then Grampa’ Branch is too ripe not to mock. In an attempt to gain the … Continue reading →

RIP Tommy Smothers

Posted on December 27, 2023 by Steve

One half of a very clever and inspiring duo. I was never a huge fan because they were really big before I was born or when I was an infant. However, they had a subversive streak that was more than … Continue reading →

The weird part is that it didn’t come with any batteries

Posted on December 26, 2023 by Steve

And if you must know, I didn’t receive any LEGO sets for Christmas from Jennifer or any member of her family. They think I have too many. NEVER!

Kid, you told your uncle you wanted a switch

Posted on December 25, 2023 by Steve

This is why you should be very when you ask that bachelor uncle who works in IT on what you want for Christmas. Besides, if you don’t want it, I’m sure the same uncle will find a use for it … Continue reading →
