When we last left our intrepid road racers Arthur and Grace, they were racing to Utah with the rest of the Blood Drive teams. Arthur continued to gather information about the Blood Drive and the participants, while Grace stayed hyper-focused on winning the race to rescue her sister Karma from the mental institution. Yep, it’s…

The final round of Graney’s Stout Spring Trivia League
The first thing to do in today’s blog is congratulate the winners of the Spring Trivia League, the team of New Phone Who Dis? who fought their way up and nailed the final question, “In what decade were the Grammy Awards first presented?” (1950’s), and congratulations also to the second-place team, The Fist, who also…
Read MorePhil Jackson and the Peter Principle
According to all reports, Phil Jackson will step down as president of the New York Knicks today. And thus, at that moment, the Peter Principle is proven once again. Let me explain.
Read MoreVerizon’s gonna hate me … like they don’t already…
There’s two significant reasons why Verizon hates me. The first is that I’m one of the last subscribers to sign up for the original “lifetime unlimited data” plan, and no matter how many times they’ve tried, they can’t get me to walk away from it. Nyah. The second reason is that I am not interested…

The Coca-Cola Hope Chest: Part 1
Okay, okay, so I’ve graduated from destroying milk crates to destroying wooden soda crates. Let’s just get that out of the way now. But for me, it’s not “destroying” these pieces.

Part of me really loves trashy, so-bad-it’s-good television. Heck, that’s why I did those Amish Mafia episode reviews years ago. And now that I’ve found a new television series – Blood Drive – that’s so far over the top it lands in the next county – I’m hooked. Not only does the show – a…

The dress rehearsal at the Corinth Reservoir
It’s midnight, maybe half past midnight, and I just drove up to Saratoga County on what was essentially a lark. Or, as I like to call it, a dress rehearsal. Follow me on this. At some point in time this summer, I’m planning on returning to the Boreas Ponds and capturing the photograph of my…
Read MoreWeek 11 of the Graney’s Stout Spring Trivia League
Last night’s trivia game was a bummer in many ways. And I couldn’t be the only person who got bummed out. I could call last night’s trivia exercise, “Right answer, wrong question.” Let me explain. One of the categories was on World Leaders – identify the leader from a picture, get the points. I correctly…
