I’ve got lightning…
…in my pants. Only fans of [Adult Swim] and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law know this great joke about Black Vulcan. Also, keep your hot coffee away from Apache Chief or you’ll render his powers ineffective.

There’s a party in the lobby!
The big Yo Gabba Gabba! show is drawing closer and to promote it, the CPC people had a display of Brobee and Muno next to the table selling tickets. I couldn’t resist getting my picture taken by it. May those … Continue reading

The Big D trip
“Dallas? I don’t you goin’ to Dallas at all. That place is crawlin’ with crack-heads and debutantes, and half of ’em play for the Cowboys.” – Hank Hill. We had a nice long-weekend (Friday night to Monday morning) at our … Continue reading

Halloween 1995
This was the last costume I’ve ever worn for Halloween and it was my favorite. How I wish digital cameras were more readily available because this is the only photo I have of me as Patsy Stone from Absolutely Fabulous. … Continue reading

Chucks Solution version 2.0
To celebrate our great reviews at work, we took advantage of the annual Elfa sale with the Container Store. Two more shelves were acquired. Last Fall my brother-in-law Aaron installed the vertical pieces which are the foundation. All we had … Continue reading
New Biker Barbie!
I thought Mattel couldn’t stoop any lower than NASCAR but never underestimate how ignoble America has become. Makes me wonder if other previous, declining civilizations had equally obvious, tangible signs through their toys or novelties. Ken resembles a wannabe biker. … Continue reading
The Liberace Museum
Our awesome 2010 Vegas Vacation has been over for a month but I promised myself and the wonderful people at three of our destinations that I would write individual, detailed posts to spread the word. I think having a month … Continue reading
Not exactly the new campaign at Schlotzky’s
An amusing bumper sticker on the back of a Teabagger’s car. Based upon this assessment, he has been definitely fed a steady diet of baloney, red herring, piss and vinegar. All spoon-fed to him by the Koch Brothers’ messengers via … Continue reading

Two more cool acquisitions!
As neat as these are, I will not be wearing them with tights like the ad campaign says. Nor will I be wearing my underpants on the outside; my friend Steve, who draws comics for a living, explained that artists … Continue reading

Free toilets!
Walking home the Monday night from Starbucks, I noticed that some neighbors had done a little home renovating. Good thing I wasn’t desperate…or in a younger, prankish mood! The pair of commodes were gone within 24 hours because there are … Continue reading

Thankfully my parents were wrong
Spotted this nugget yesterday in the parking lot of my doctor. Back when I was finishing high school (and I was an honor student if that means my career GPA was well over three on the four-point scale), Mom ranted … Continue reading

What’s wrong with this gun vault?
Today we went to the Las Vegas Gun Store (hold your political comments for another day) and I saw this. Now I have spotted Braille in the oddest of spots: ATMs that don’t have any audio assistance and maintenance closest … Continue reading

Baby you can win my car
An exclusive SmartCar you can win at the Mirage if you play the slot machines underneath it. It was tempting but I don’t think it would fit in my luggage! Weak, I know. I just couldn’t come up with any … Continue reading
