Thunder…thunder…Thundercats shooooooooes!
My Summer of 2012 additions to the Chucks collection. I’m a bigger design fan than I am of the show; it was new when I was in high school, hence my nostalgia “gap.” I do have to trade them for … Continue reading

This was on the back of a delivery car for our favorite, every occasion pizza…Austin’s Pizza; I love Mangia too but their deep dish is for special occasions. Now that I think about it, how do I know this wasn’t … Continue reading

Dalek spotted at Apple
The key to their successful conquest of Earth will be how well they blend in, prevent us humans from noticing them. First there was the one I saw hiding in the New York New York casino, disguised as a garbage … Continue reading

iPhone accessories I like (keep reading, there’s a contest)
Online T-shirt seller celebrated last week’s solstice by having a 30% off sale. The discount was enough to tempt me into getting a handset for those long calls I actually have on my iPhone. This probably amplifies my status as … Continue reading

Things at work are a little too nerdy
Some prankster with the ProApps team posted this near the break room. It’s somewhat an inside joke, namely people who grew up playing the NES in the Eighties.

Caddyshack!
Yeah, I went to yet another damned quote-along but it was for one of the most quoted movies I knew through high school and college. To me, it’s a source of great Midwestern pride too. It stars two Murray brothers … Continue reading

The ¡One Amigo!
Last night, I went to the Alamo Ritz’s Quote-along of the ¡Three Amigos! with all you-can-eat tacos! The MC went to Lucy in Disguise, South Austin’s best costume shop, to get into the spirit of the film. His outfit was so … Continue reading
