RIP Bob Edwards

Posted on February 15, 2024 by Steve

For us NPR nerds, Bob was the voice we woke up with until he was fired from Morning Edition in 2004. With me, I’d say I got hooked on NPR completely in 1993 because the FM stations in Central IL sucked … Continue reading →

RIP Keith Giffen & Gary Graham

Posted on January 23, 2024 by Steve

The first obit I felt like a complete moron about! I missed all the tributes on Twitter for the passing of Keith Giffen last October! He was one of the funniest writers in the Eighties as he revamped Justice League into … Continue reading →

2008: al-Zaidi throws his shoes at Dubious Bush

Posted on December 14, 2023 by Steve

To me it was one of the funniest things I had seen on the news in years and I loved to see that inbred moron at the podium dodging the shoes being thrown at him. Sadly, Dubious still looked pretty … Continue reading →

Bewitched

Posted on December 4, 2023 by Steve

This was possibly Nora Ephron’s worst movie after My Blue Heaven, the comical take on what Henry Hill’s life was possibly like after Goodfellas. It never should’ve been made for it is a complete waste of Michael Caine, David Alan Grier, Amy … Continue reading →

RIP Roman Cechmanek

Posted on November 13, 2023 by Steve

When I was really getting into the NHL courtesy of EA’s 2001 game for my newish PS2, Roman was Philly’s hot new goalie and GM Clarke traded Brian Boucher to Phoenix for Robert Esche to assure him. It didn’t matter … Continue reading →

Welcome to November 2023!

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Steve

I was really excited about this month’s Header because it’s the 60th anniversary of Josie and the Pussycats debuting as a comic book; ok, it was just called Josie and it was a lazy female version of Archie. The Pussycats shift … Continue reading →

RIP Bill Richardson

Posted on September 3, 2023 by Steve

The former governor of New Mexico passed away Friday. Besides being governor, he was also a congressman, Secretary of Energy under Clinton and I think the UN Ambassador. Despite his ‘anglo’ surname, was classified as Hispanic and spoke fluent Spanish. … Continue reading →

RIP: Bob Barker

Posted on August 27, 2023 by Steve

Even I was formulating the easy layup joke every hack comedian was thinking. Bob died successfully without going over 100. What a life he had though! With his career hosting game shows and namely the one he was most associated … Continue reading →

RIP to Alan Arkin

Posted on July 28, 2023 by Steve

One big overdue tribute to a comedy legend alongside two rather recent passings. I wanted to get them out of the way before my big 55 day tomorrow since nothing but fun, fun and happiness over the next 24 hours! … Continue reading →

I’m not your T-shirrrrrrrrrrt!

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Steve

It has been probably years since I posted one of my shirt acquisitions but maybe this fun one of Chowder will bring it back as a trend. I found this at a store I’ve never heard of called Box Lunch. Originally … Continue reading →

Not Another Teen Movie

Posted on April 10, 2023 by Steve

From the Scary Movie team trying to make something as well-made as Airplane! and Mel Brooks’ good streak came a take on all the Teen Romance-Coming-of-Age comedies. It was also Chris Evans’ big debut before he became best known as Captain America … Continue reading →

Cast Away

Posted on March 31, 2023 by Steve

Another movie I decided to watch out of self hate I guess. Given the performance, story line and how a modern-day Robinson Crusoe could pan out; another book which will be modified for the thin-skinned faux liberal peal clutchers; this would’ve … Continue reading →

2003: Dubious & Darth Cheney start Gulf War II

Posted on March 20, 2023 by Steve

It’s so sad that neither of these assholes and their enablers will ever face justice for the bullshit war they started; the US continues to not join the ICC. America lost over two trillion in blood and treasure along with … Continue reading →

2003: Illinois commutes death sentences on 167 people

Posted on January 11, 2023 by Steve

In a very uncharacteristic move by a Republican, Governor George Ryan does the morally right thing by changing the fates of those 167 people. Why though? A dirty Chicago cop (I know, I need to be more specific) named Jon … Continue reading →

If Covid happened in the Aughts, the WFH set up

Posted on December 12, 2022 by Steve

Am I glad we’ve made great progress on getting portables to be more versatile and powerful. Oh, and affordable! As much as I loved the iMac in its earlier incarnations, it was pretty heavy. The guy in the photo must … Continue reading →
