Even the bridge’s viewscreen needs a pop-up blocker!
Good thing Captain Kirk doesn’t share the Enterprise‘s content with our current shit for brains Speaker of the House. This reminds me how I need to pony up for a quick month of Paramount+ so I can binge watch Picard, Lower Decks and Strange New … 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

The upcoming D&D movie will debut at SXSW
This is rather mixed news to me. Unlike the very loud minority of Gamers whining about “their culture” was hijacked by popular shows like Big Bang Theory (barely seen) and the novel Ready Player One (great book, crappy movie), I don’t have … Continue reading
Chupacabracon VIII is on and I’m going
While I was listening to Brian Posehn’s Nerd Poker, I got to hear my always enjoyable shoutout from Brian! Every time he comes to Austin, I give him $100 to cover the show’s expenses with a little letter. The best part … Continue reading

DC Comics and Diamond part ways
Yesterday, DC announced that it will have all its comic books, novels, etc. distributed by two new companies this Summer. For over 25 years, Diamond Comic Distributors has been the sole solution if you buy your stuff from direct-sales stores … Continue reading
D&D joke, January 2020 edition
The joke in this story is universal on the surface because everybody knows how a screw you gag works or the M Night Shama-lamma twist. Go ahead, read it first before continuing. I think the closest mainstream example to the link would … Continue reading
Belated birthday gift on display! Weird Al in 3-D!
Weird Al brought this old shirt back into production thanks to Stranger Things 3‘s Dustin wearing it. Quick aside, NO SPOILERS, I’m rewatching the whole show from the beginning and I don’t want to know what happened this season yet! Kristin … Continue reading
Gauntlet joke
A pretty good amateur gag covering how food works in the old video game Gauntlet. The bit showing Questor the Elf doing what often happened when you were in a multiplayer game is relatable because there’s always one idiot out … Continue reading
Belated farewell to Eltingville
One of my favorite comics wound down for good in 2015 and now I’m finally saying goodbye to what was Evan Dorkin’s funniest creation after Milk & Cheese. There was an accompanying companion but Nerd Poker has returned in a 2.0 version I’ll blather … Continue reading
