So this happened. A little background. Yesterday, while perusing Twitter, I saw that tennis / human rights legend Martina Navratilova had retweeted a Twitter image from NBA veteran Rex Chapman. It was a magic trick in which a man was able to magically spread milk from one small cup to three larger cups. Now I…

“Soap” is on Tubi. Oh, man, what a flashback.
Once upon a time, there was a sitcom on network television that was so scandalous, so polarizing, so completely over the top, that it caused morality groups to clutch their pearls in shock. It forced local television stations to replace the program with their own local shows, so as to not offend their local audience.…

Background. Every so often, someone posts this image and asks their friends to share it, as a patriotic reminder of those who served in Vietnam. Of course, it’s a little hard to believe this is a Vietnam war photo, when the three “soldiers” on the far right are Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. (in blackface)…
Read MoreMy entries for the 2021 Iowa State Fair Photography Competition
And on Friday afternoon … Competition Season 2021 officially began for me. I sent four photos to the Iowa Sate Fair’s Photography Salon. I’ve had some success with Iowa in the past – in 2018, two of my pictures made the walls of the art gallery on the Fairgrounds, with What the Grasshopper Saw taking…
Read MoreHatred lives in a Nashville millinery shop.
I hate that people are equating getting vaccinated against a killer virus with some sort of mass discrimination. And I hate that people are taking that self-styled discrimination to an obscene conclusion. But if you’re going to be a racist, anti-Semitic clown with your business, then by all means, please be willing to accept your…

Read MoreHey, when nature calls, you’d better answer.
A long time ago, I blogged about some dog agility competition videos – first I showed a dog raced through the obstacle course like there was a plate of Alpo at the end of the run, and then I showed a dog who was just taking his sweet time through the course like it was…
Read MoreThe Powerpuff Girls reboot wasn’t needed.
There was a time when Cartoon Network had some great original animation programs that were eye-catching and fun to watch. You know, Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack and Johnny Bravo and The Powerpuff Girls. I liked The Powerpuff Girls, it was a mixture of pop culture and bright-colored fun, with three super-powered heroines righting wrongs…
Read More“Your cutlery, sir, it will KEAL.”
A couple of years ago, someone introduced me to the competition series Forged in Fire, where bladesmiths and other metal workers fashion knives and weaponry, with the winning competitor receiving $10,000 for his/her efforts. I have to admit, the show is quite fun to watch, especially when the show’s judges take the contestants’ newly-finished weapons…
