RIP Paul “Pee-wee Herman” Reubens
CRAP! I hate it when a link on Twitter leads to bad news but those bastards behind Social Media got us! Now to wait for the Fresh Air episode of when he was a guest. Paul was a very talented Comedian … Continue reading

A birthday gift to myself from Fright Rags #1
It’s an obscure little joke from Weird Al’s movie UHF. Not sure why the only reseller I’ve ever found that make this focuses on Horror but I’m good. Much like my Star Wars shirt with Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman on it, … Continue reading

RIP Sinead O’Connor and Randy Meisner
I’m going by order of the news announcing their passing, not by how much I actually enjoyed their work. First is the sad death of Sinead O’Connor. I was never a big fan of her stuff which mostly came out … Continue reading
RIP to Alan Arkin
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

Traveller is 46 years old
Forty years ago, I got acquainted with the famous three little black books. Looking back, Traveller was my second RPG. I could’ve sworn Star Frontiers and Bushido preceded it but as I remembered my time at Strake Jesuit, nope. A classmate and … Continue reading
I lost all my money at Biff’s and only got this lousy shirt
Fright Rags’ ears were burning today too. I was going to post this latest design I bought from them and blammo! They brought back Spatula City! I’ll probably get Wargames too due to the anniversary of it. What’s really sad is how … Continue reading
Not really a Hipster, but definitely my ex-roommate
My second roommate in college, Chris aka Pee Wee, was nuts for the Smiths and REM. I know, it’s amazing we got along for any amount of time. REM I could handle in tiny doses since their fans were on … Continue reading
The overdue explanation for the June ’23 Header: Finale
Today, I conclude with the last book which I think overlapped into the school year. Even then I was a slow reader! I had numerous distractions over the Summer of 1983, namely the arcade and I did have people to … Continue reading
The overdue explanation for the June ’23 Header: Part Two
Today, I will pick up where I left off with novel number two… The Mercenary by Jerry Pournelle was initially deceptive thanks to its Boris Vallejo cover. Yet it became the novel to aid my understanding of Traveller by teaching … Continue reading
The overdue explanation for the June ’23 Header: Part One
Yikes! June is almost over and I need to explain why this month’s header is three random paperback Sci-Fi novels! Forty years ago, a co-worker gave these to my Dad who then gave them to me. I figure the co-worker … Continue reading
RIP Treat Williams
I know he passed away in a motorcycle accident last week but given what a heavy week was last week, I put him off with some others out of respect for our four-legged fuzzballs, still missing them. Treat was a … Continue reading

Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber) found dead
It’s still not clear if Kaczynski killed himself or it was cancer. Either way, his death was for the best given how much he scared the hell out of people for two decades while pointing out the FBI’s continued incompetence. … Continue reading
Rot in Hell Pat Robertson
Another piece of shit KKKristian bites the dust who also lived too long and didn’t suffer enough. I first recall him via our cable TV in Springfield carrying his propaganda known as CBN with his bullshit. I was just a … Continue reading
Robert Hanssen found dead
He was found dead in his sleep today. Too bad, he should’ve suffered much more for he was mainly a piece of shit Opus Dei cultist and right-wing dirt bag. If you caught any news about this sleazy hypocrite, Hanssen … Continue reading
