My Simpsons Chucks with autographs!
It’s late and I figure few of you will want to read about the forum my friend Aaron and I attended for ATX Television Festival regarding the Evolution of the Simpsons. However, I managed to have the great fortune of … Continue reading
Yet another idea I should’ve thought of
It’s called Send a Jart which means (in English) Send a Fat in a Jar, I added the cloud above for effect but obviously my Photoshop skills are rudimentary at best. Obviously a Jart is one of those gifts you … Continue reading

Not bad, 10 for 12
See if you can beat my score without cheating since this only allows three minutes to guess the characters with three-letter names. Some are a stretch on knowing their actual first names.
Happy National Hamburger Day
Here’s a good link from the fine folks at Mental Floss. In Austin, the best places are the smaller chains/mom-and-pop operations: Mighty Fine Dan’s/Fran’s P Terry’s Whataburger, if the above aren’t feasible, namely for time or distance This got me thinking … Continue reading
RIP: Anne Meara
Another legend, who helped pave the way for other funny women, passed away this weekend. Anne was more than just the mother of Ben Stiller and Jerry Stiller’s comedy partner, she was a great actress in her own right. The … Continue reading
Farewell David Letterman
It was an amazing run for David Letterman. He outlasted his predecessor and hero Johnny Carson by four years. What’s more impressive is that David received a second chance which was ridiculed by SNL, pundits and fans of Tom Snyder, aka … Continue reading
Harry Shearer leaving The Simpsons would be a good ending
The primary story/explanation of Harry leaving so he can pursue other projects is absolute crap in my opinion. Hank Azaria and Julie Kavner still act in movies, TV and plays while Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartright continue to provide voices in … Continue reading
May the Fourth be with you today!
My bigger plans to have the stats for the entire 727 Jump Brigade fell through via my procrastinating, parties and poor time-management skills. I did manage to make it to the Lego Store to get the annual Star Wars boon, this year it … Continue reading
The ultimate Lego set up
Let it be known that our house has a reasonable amount of Legos after you see this architect’s amazing setup.
Office Kingdom
A very clever cartoon revealing why bureaucracy appears so slow…you don’t get to see what’s happening behind the scenes or in my line of work, what occurs when the customer is listening to the hold music. Now that you’ve been … Continue reading
Rock/Pop Quiz
Hey, I got 90% right, tell me what you got? Gotta’ love those links courtesy of website for Mental Floss magazine.
Canadian commercial
I was out sick for the last couple days so here’s a clever commercial from Canada that probably wouldn’t pass Standards & Practice even on Fox. Well, at least our neighbors from the Great White North gave us this to make … Continue reading
Dr. Hawking “sings” Monty Python
Not the most well-known song by the Pythons but a favorite near the middle of The Meaning of Life. I love all the astronomical facts with it concluding on how we’ve beaten the odds…that we know of.
International Tabletop Day 2015
The Nerd High Holidays are now officially upon us! First up is the celebration put together by Nerd/Gaming icons Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton three years ago. Now there’s a difference between tabletop and roleplaying games before you scratch your … Continue reading
Weird Al Simpsonized!
A cool toy to take my mind off the sadness of Stan Freberg passing and no more DVDs of The Simpsons. It didn’t cost me too much beyond its original retail price yet I still had to comb eBay thanks to the … Continue reading
