The Doctor materializes in Arlen
This print is way more than just a convention souvenir, especially if you live in Austin. Obviously, King of the Hill was set around Central Texas; you can encounter people with Hank’s accent and speech patterns all along the I-35 corridor from … Continue reading
An endangered species
I spotted one of these on our recent vacation because I don’t recall seeing any around Austin anymore. They probably have them in Las Vegas due to international calls on a cell phone being ridiculously overpriced.

Best Theme/Group Costume 2013
The Fracé Family never fails to impress!
Best Costume of 2013 (in my opinion)
That image is burned into the collective memory of millions, including those who didn’t catch Cheers during its initial run; thank you Nick at Night, Netflix and syndication. Also, a big thanks to the site The Clearly Dope for bringing it … Continue reading
A familiar piece of clip art from DG!
Twenty years ago, my then current employer introduced this piece of clip art to its customers (really subscribers). Whoever used this may have filled in the text because the core part is the ghost, bats and border. Whoops! I might be … Continue reading
The real horror is the near miss from last year!
The election was last year so I guess Walgreens was stuck with leftovers to dump or their executives think the Romney cook book will be a big seller. I don’t know about the latter’s success when every other recipe contains … Continue reading
Awesome, funky boots!
The picture just says it all! These boots and its picture are courtesy of a new co-worker who shares my love of shoes. Unfortunately, the store only makes the gear for ladies. What’s a heterosexual man supposed to do?
My iPhone’s vacation armor…
…now all I need is to get a separate, generic ringtone to go with this.
Vegas 2013: Day Five, the NFL should play more on Thursday!
The day kicked off with a retro NFL game, the Bears of the Seventies I grew up with made an appearance against the Lions. Well, this was a proxy bet for the Silders’ oldest kid TJ so the bookie will … Continue reading

Vegas 2013: Day Four, victory is mine!
The half-way point of our vacation and we wisely beat the crowd for breakfast at Paris, a tradition we forgot to undertake last year. I will never deny that the Outfit was a bunch of criminals responsible for numerous, vicious … Continue reading
Vegas 2013: Day Three, we upgraded (again)!
One mixed-bag element of timeshare ownership is the meeting during every visit. On the downside there’s the half day eaten up by a presentation, conversation, etc. To compensate, you get tickets to shows and fed. Surprisingly I have enjoyed the majority … Continue reading

Bond villain or one of the Shruggalo Pauls?
I wish it were the bad guy from Sean Connery’s first Bond movie since he is less annoying than blowhard father and son team of Ron and Rand (Nevada doesn’t have income tax, super lax gun laws and a Teabagger … Continue reading
Hunter and his first portable, obviously an Apple
What started out as a relaxing Saturday afternoon before our vacation in a couple days ended abruptly with a phone call from my sister-in-law Anje. Somehow her brother received a free MacBook Pro through another person who insanely didn’t want … Continue reading
Seriously? A Classic Vehicle?
Spotted this while walking through the Planet Hollywood (formerly the Aladdin) parking lot last night. A Chrysler LeBaron, aka a K-car, with ‘classic vehicle’ plates. I guess Nevada has a pity category for any of these still functioning. The designation is … Continue reading
