Happy New Lunar Year! Year of the Rabbit
Well, the Chinese aren’t the only culture with a moon-based calendar still in operation. There’s Judaism and Islam readily coming to mind. Then I’m stumped after these three. It is odd how none chose to adopt the more accurate 365.24 … Continue reading
January 2023 Header explanation!
Although Rio was released way back in 1982, by this time Duran Duran was all over the radio and I think they would go on to be the musical guest of SNL. What a fun talk that was with my classmates … Continue reading
Don’t panic over this month’s Header!
It has nothing to do with Current Events! I will explain its significance in a couple weeks as it’s the anniversary of a mostly life-changing experience. Plus why I never took a true, week-long vacation for a few years! I … Continue reading
Why Gestapo NPH for this month?
It’s a nod to one of the best Satires made in the Nineties…Starship Troopers which hit theaters 25 years ago. Like most movie goers, I saw it the first time and thought, “Hmm, pretty decent Sci-Fi/Action flick. Not sure it … Continue reading

Woo hoo! September with Vegas coming!
Normally, I’m not thrilled about this month. Sure we get a three-day weekend with Labor Day but it also means Summer is over. On the upside, Austin gradually starts to cool off, the Renaissance Faire is coming, outdoor shows aren’t … Continue reading
Welcome to July 2022
Phew! We just got through the hottest June on record and now we’re headed full speed into the broiler with July. Note how the Climate Deniers/Right have changed their position from “it’s not happening,” to, “we’ll have to live with … Continue reading

Hello June ’22 via Castle Amber!
Allegedly Stranger Things is using more D&D villains in the current season so I decided to go with an adventure that I have fond memories of…Castle Amber because I picked up the new 5E conversion at Chupacabrcon. Back in the Summer of … Continue reading
Mayday…for the rest of the world
It is in some corners of Amerika, namely where the Amazon and Starbucks workers voted to unionize since only naive schmucks and ass-kissers believe Rich People will ever do the morally right thing…voluntarily. On a more fun note, this month’s … Continue reading
Well…April 2022 does have some elements of the movie
In memory of what was Charlton Heston’s final movie in his Dystopian Trilogy I’ve gone with Soylent Green as the theme. Planet of the Apes was way too far in the future and I’m confident The Omega Man happens closer to the time … Continue reading

Welcome February 2022, Year of the Tiger!
Keeping with my recent 2020 tradition, I have gone with the Chinese New Year/Zodiac animal to decorate my site’s header art. Unlike oxen (bulls) or rats, there are numerous, famous tigers to choose from. I chose the ones I prefer … Continue reading

Thank Evil MoPac for the bingo card we can use until the next wave of Covid-19 or another wave of Ammosexual MAGAts storm DC. This month’s header is from when Pee-Wee Herman was the guest DJ at some radio station … Continue reading
Welcome to December 2021!
I decided to just “catch up” and fill in the missing dates in between, again, instead of being like that newspaper from Colonial Days in New England I learned about in college; The publisher only had so much space and … Continue reading
September 2021 is here but school starting varies
Back in July, I celebrated Aliens turning 35. In honor of starting Marquette 35 years ago, I decided to go with Rodney Dangerfield’s most successful movie. I tweaked the colors to be more in line with my alma mater. It’s not … Continue reading
