Kwanzabot, Nibbler and Robot Santa visit Austin

Posted on December 6, 2022 by Steve

I knew there was a reason why I felt compelled to go to Jason’s Deli for soup last weekend! It’s actually pretty good for the price point you pay too. The only thing I could say that beat it was … Continue reading →

RIP Coolio

Posted on September 29, 2022 by Steve

Sad to hear about Coolio suddenly passing, he was only 59 and was still in demand for his varying talents. Although I’m not into Rap/Hip Hop music, I always loved him for being the voice of Futurama‘s Kwanzabot, a nice, non-violent … Continue reading →

Happy 70th Birthday to Billy West!

Posted on April 16, 2022 by Steve

He’s probably one of the biggest names in voice-acting these days. Even if you’re not into animation (both kid and adult stuff) like me, you’ve heard him for years on TV. Billy has been the Cheerios Honey-Nut Bee and the … Continue reading →

Futurama is back baby! Again, no wait, maybe, take your pick

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Steve

Yesterday’s announcement stating that Hulu ordered 20 new episodes of Futurama on the day Netflix released Disenchantment‘s latest 10 (making it the fourth season), sounded rather auspicious to me. Does this mean Disenchantment is over given how impatient Netflix is? They have cancelled … Continue reading →

RIP Ron Popeil

Posted on August 4, 2021 by Steve

I thought he was already dead. Shows you what little I knew. He did live long enough and then some to be on Futurama and get credited as the man who invented immortality through Head in a Jar technology. Also known as how … Continue reading →

Bender’s cousin?

Posted on July 7, 2021 by Steve

I’ve always wondered about the CapMetro logo sewn into the seats on its light-rail cars. It’s supposed to be the Texas capital building but I can’t help wondering if it’s really a bending unit crossed with a Cylon. You know, … Continue reading →

RIP Hank Aaron

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Steve

I was only nuts about baseball for several years as a kid but I’ve always known about Hank Aaron, the guy who beat Babe Ruth’s longstanding home run record. I don’t care if Barry Bonds allegedly holds it, there’s a … Continue reading →

Bite my red-hot, glowing puck!

Posted on April 15, 2020 by Steve

These jerseys came in from Geeky Jerseys last Fall and I forgot to photograph them. Shame on me given how much I love Futurama! The people behind the site were awesome to me on a special request you’ll see below. Firstly, … Continue reading →

It is unknown if he or his owner (someone related to Mr. Panucci) were singing “Walking on Sunshine” during their daily constitutional.

GWD’s Futurama rematch!

Posted on June 23, 2019 by Steve

About eight years ago, I, along with the other four members of Kappa Kappa Wong snatched semi-defeat from the jaws of victory at Geeks Who Drink’s first, and what seemed to be only, Futurama-themed quiz. Time heals all wounds but I … Continue reading →

Nixon’s head’s favorite candy!

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Steve

I had to buy this when I spotted it at Terra Toys and gave it to a co-worker who I share an inside joke with, imitating Billy West imitating Tricky Dick. Saying this candy’s name exaggerates the fifth-worst president’s jowly … Continue reading →

New Futurama theme for GWD tournament in June

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Steve

Darth Bender! Drunk Lord of the Sith! I couldn’t resist this mash-up since the artist really did a great job integrating Bender’s distinctive look/shape into Darth Vader’s armor. As for the nerd nitpicking, Bender would only need to hold his … Continue reading →

In honor of Disenchantment making its debut this weekend on Netflix, here’s the finale to my attendance at the Futurama celebration at ATX Fest, meeting the co-creator and show runner, David X Cohen. His real middle initial is S but he changed … Continue reading →

Futurama: Part Two, the autographs with a surprise

Posted on August 12, 2018 by Steve

After the table reading, I went out to get the autographs of the cast. Since Futurama‘s characters have all appeared on The Simpsons (“Simpsonarama”), I asked them to sign these shoes to join the great company I already have on them (namely, … Continue reading →

Futurama table read and meeting them!

Posted on August 8, 2018 by Steve

Most of Futurama‘s principal cast came to Austin to do a live table read (“The Six Million Dollar Mon”) which in turn was to promote Hulu and SyFy being the new networks to carry the beloved program. They did the read … Continue reading →
