Several months ago, I blogged about the art company Retrospekt’s tribute to the Peanuts cartoon’s “Beagle Scouts” plotline (Snoopy as the leader of a troop of young woodsy birds). Retrospekt manufactured several “Beagle Scouts”-themed cameras and cassette recorders, designed to make you smile and willingly take your money. Now at the time, I thought it…

Why did none of you tell me about Herbie’s Burgers before??
Note. While I’m still recovering from my recent surgeries, I’ve operated on a meal system that includes a mixture of “quick heat ’em up” meals (i.e., frozen dinners, microwaveables), “girlfriend meals” (when Date Night stops by with some fresh-cooked food), and ordering from Uber Eats. As I scrolled through Uber Eats last Sunday, I saw…
Read MoreA moment of eyebleach from a panda and a zookeeper.
Do you ever have those moments in your day when somebody just completely pisses you all the way off? When, for example, you’re told that a product you’re using has a $64 co-pay, which you quickly pay – only to find out its a $64-per-day co-pay, and you find out about it TEN DAYS LATER???…
Read MoreAfter these videos, I’m not worried about shaving down there.
It’s amazing what your YouTube algorithm will place in your feed. I get it. YouTube knows what I like, and keeps feeding me videos the subject. I watch ONE episode of some guy repairing a Rolex, and now every time he has a new video, YouTube makes sure it’s #1 on my list. I watch…
Read MoreTetris beaten by a 13-year-old
You remember the electronic puzzle game Tetris, right? The falling brick game that was part of the Golden Age of video games, right up there with Space Invaders and Asteroids and Pac-Man and Defender. Those were the games where you played until the odds were too overwhelming. You couldn’t defeat the aliens, you could just hope to survive…
Read MoreDo you want to be a Beagle Scout? Now it’s possible!
In 1974, the comic strip Peanuts introduced a new recurring plotline – that of Snoopy leading a team of his bird friends as the “Beagle Scouts.” Snoopy would act as the scoutmaster, while the birds – Woodstock, of course, but at least three of his friends – would follow Snoopy on hikes and campouts. This…
Read MoreIs it “is” or is it “in” in it?
As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan in New York, it’s often a guessing game as to whether I’ll see the Black and Gold on my TV screen or if I’ll have to do a hybrid watch/listen combination to follow my favorite football team. In other words, if the Steelers play on one of the prime time…

This video was posted on social media over the weekend, and … hoo boy … Let me explain. Apparently there’s a very specific taboo fetish involving having sex with a total stranger in an airplane bathroom. It’s colloquially called the “Mile High Club,” and it’s been the subject of countless rumors, untold porno movies, and…
Read MoreI’m only a couple of miles away from the strip club.
I checked my car’s dashboard. There’s a chance I can make it in time, hopefully I calculated the distance. If I’m off by even a mile … this won’t work. Here I am on Broadway, driving from Albany to Menands. I’m about two miles away from Ciro’s Gentleman’s Club, an adult business on the Albany-Menands…
Read MoreThe Alpine Bobsled at The Great Escape was fun while it lasted.
At the time it first arrived at the Great Escape amusement park, the Alpine Bobsled was a very cool concept (no pun intended). It replicated the twists and turns of riding in a bobsled – which, with Lake Placid just a couple of hours away, was a nice tie-in with the Adirondacks and the Winter…
