If ever I to the moment shall say: Beautiful moment, do not pass away! Then you may forge your chains to bind me, Then I will put my life behind me, Then let them hear my death-knell toll, Then from your labors you’ll be free, The clock may stop, the clock-hands fall, And time come…

It’s “Perfect Strangers” – the Video Game!!
Oh you think I’m joking, do you? First off – I thought Perfect Strangers was a great TV show. Come on, Bronson Pinchot and Mark-Linn Baker had me in stitches for six years with that program. At some point I think the first season was eventually released on DVD, and I think you can get…

Read MoreIt’s a “Caption Time” delivered in 30 minutes or less…
I’m not sure what this McDonald’s drive-through employee expected would pull up to the window. Probably wasn’t expecting to see a Domino’s delivery vehicle. And probably wasn’t expecting that I was in the parking lot and took a picture of this cross-branding meet-up. Okay, it’s a still frame off of my video camera, but I…

In Greek mythology, the god Helios drove the chariot of the sun across the sky. I don’t presume to be Helios. But I DO have a plan to chronicle the path of the sun across the sky. This took a lot of planning – at least a year. Back then, Greg Dahlmann, the “Greg” of…
Read MoreI want a Fluffernutter and I want it NOW!!
I still remember the sandwiches. They were a staple in our house – heck, I think my entire family ate them at one point or another. And the other day, when I was in the grocery store – I don’t even know why I was walking down that particular aisle in the first place –…
Read MoreBarry Manilow, you ruined my life!!
He’s the Sultan of Schmaltz. His songs are so square, one can divide them by four. It’s rumored that his music was played through loudspeakers in foreign countries to drive dictators out of hiding. And in the summer of 2001, Barry Manilow became a major hot-button topic in my marriage. Background. I was married from…

Man, I wish a show like this was on the air today. Imagine if you took the top students from Duke and had them face off against the University of North Carolina. No, we’re not talking about a basketball game. Or maybe a matchup between Auburn and Alabama. And no, I’m not talking about football.…

I’ve seen it too often, and with alarming frequency – especially in the blog universe. It’s not fun. Especially if you’re on the wrong end of it. Example. My friend Laura (she’s on the blogroll here as the Venn Librarian) sent me a link about what appears to be a significant controversy in the “young…
Read MoreYou want to sell a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am… all you need are unicorns and a tap-dancing messiah!
My bud Bailey Williams tweeted me this little gem. According to complexrides.com, someone in Seattle wanted to sell a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am. But if you’ve ever seen the bare-bones Craigslist format, you’re not likely to get that excited over the listings. So what this enterprising young soul did was to take pictures of the…
