Here’s to the future that was!
One of my favorite Adult Swim shows from the initial launch is March’s header. I held off celebrating the crew’s misadventures to now because a vaccine rollout (January) and Chinese New Year (February) were more pressing…or would it be relevant. If … Continue reading

A pleasant surprise from the IRS, for a change
Before the latest Snowmageddon I received a “letter” from the IRS. Always a heart-stopper. They never send a “letter” to us actual taxpayers, usually a bill to compensate for the taxes Bezos, Musk and Gates don’t pay. This one I … Continue reading
I declare Snowmageddon ’21 – Vol. II…over
Looking outside today, all I could see were little, isolated patches of snow or ice on the ground (not asphalt or concrete). So the weather element is done, especially with the temperature expected to hit 21° C. I craved junk/fast … Continue reading
Ding dong Rush Limbaugh is dead!
Ding dong Rush is dead! Flush that turd down the head! At least Death is apolitical and it couldn’t have happened to a bigger asshole. To those who say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, go screw yourself! He … Continue reading
Snow-ma-geddon 2021!
Power was restored at my house today, hence no post for yesterday! Lucky you while unlucky for Jennifer, her apartment remains offline and everything there is electric. Hard to believe 20 years ago, I wasn’t too thrilled about natural gas … Continue reading
Happy Valentine’s Day / Lupercalia!
By now, everybody should’ve received their grown-up-sized Valentine Card from me. If you didn’t, nothing too personal but you can tell me, I can put you on the list for next year should I try again. I didn’t buy as … Continue reading
Farewell Larry Flynt
Honestly. I hadn’t thought about Flynt in years and could’ve sworn he died earlier since he had been “quiet” throughout Orange Foolius’ reign. I was never a fan of his publication(s), strip clubs or brand in general because they were … Continue reading
Happy Groundhog Day 2021 and the Header
Some say nostalgia is a (mind)trap. I guess, but only if you dwell there forever and constantly long for it, aka Classic Rock or Jay Gatsby. I still let myself have an hour to remember how much this day in … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Paris
Paris crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning around 1 AM. She had been in declining health for over a week as you may recognize in animals when they let you know they’re ready to pass. Jennifer wasn’t Paris’ initial owner, … Continue reading

RIP: Larry King
I remember when Ted Turner plucked this guy from obscurity…I never heard of him. Made Larry a big deal interviewer guy. His show was usually something my old man listened to on long drives because he either was sick of … Continue reading
Stupidity crosses the Atlantic
When Jeremy alerted me to the rioting in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam and Urk I concluded that either American Idiocy has become our number one export or the Dutch failed to get all their morons to emigrate to the States. … Continue reading
2001: On The Media begins
This weekend, the one podcast I have religiously listen to since…I can’t remember. Let’s just say when iTunes (now divided into Music and Podcasts) first added the ability to subscribe to podcasts. Checking the Internet, iTunes 4.9 which was about … Continue reading

CV-19 Update #2
The test results came in and I was alerted minutes ago, pretty impressive, I found out within 22 hours. NEGATIVE That’s all for Jennifer and me. We can all get on with our lives, namely, watching the Packers crush Bucs’ … Continue reading
CV-19 Update #1
At least the testing was free as we rushed to downtown Austin. It’s also easier to take. Last Summer it was a painful shove up both nostrils. The pain lingered for a couple hours. Now they’ve got it down to … Continue reading
Jennifer has tested “positive” for CV-19
Jennifer just received the phone call from her employer about an hour ago. We’re both off to get (re)tested since there’s a good chance it’s a false positive given the number of times she is tested—three times a week since … Continue reading
