This came from one of my favorite photo sites, PetaPixel. Apparently as Thomas and Anneka Geary prepared for their wedding; coordinating the arrival of 120 family members and guests, spending over £14,000 ($22,600 US) for their wedding, all that stuff – they spent £750 ($1,210 US) for the photographer. They hired a company called Westgate…

Read MoreLucky Bills
The other day, I was at Crossgates Mall, half-window shopping, half-purchasing things. I needed a new protective case for my cell phone, and a cursory check through all the Crossgates cell phone kiosks revealed one that fit my BlackBerry perfectly. “How much?” I asked. “It’ll be $13.” No problem, I thought as I reached into…
Read MoreThe 10 most underrated FOX television shows of all time!
Tonight, the FOX television network will air a 25th anniversary special, celebrating the success of the “Fourth Network.” I’m sure there will be plenty of clips of FOX’s best television shows – you know, “Married … With Children” and “The Simpsons” and “Beverly Hills, 90210” and the like.

Read MoreMove over, Rebecca Black. Could “Hot Problems” by Double Take be the WORST SONG EVER???
Ah, Rebecca Black. Remember her? The high school kid whose parents ponied up $4,000 to a vanity recording studio, with the results being this little day-of-the-week classic? Okay, you’ve been punished enough. Besides, “Friday” was so 2011. I’m sure Rebecca Black’s latest record… er… um… give me a second, I gotta try to remember it……

Read MoreTurning the Corner on the Sunny Day
The mailbox was stuffed with my Monday evening collection of junk mail, catalogs and bills. I looked through them. Tractor Supply Company circular. Rip. Toss. Local pizza place that says they deliver to my area, but never really does. Rip. Toss. Two car dealerships that want me to trade in my vehicle for a new…
Read MoreDick Clark, as remembered by Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon
A decade ago, I wrote an article for Goldmine magazine on the history of early rock/pop singer Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon. Cannon made over 100 appearances on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, more than any other performer in the show’s history, and many of Cannon’s biggest hits – “Palisades Park,” “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans,”…
Read MoreAre they the Steel Bumblebees now?
This very play, back in the day, made me a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for life. From the day I first saw the Immaculate Reception, through six Super Bowl championships in eight appearances, my loyalty to the Black and Gold has never wavered. I don’t just ♥ the Steelers, I ♥ and ♥ the Steelers. Yeah,…
Read MoreThe Flintstones are selling beer? And smokes? And car insurance??
Ah, The Flintstones. The modern Stone Age family, the retelling of Honeymooners episodes in the Cro-Magnon era. At one point in time, The Flintstones was the longest-running prime time animated series, lasting a whopping six seasons. Of course, that would leave it behind The Simpsons and Family Guy and King of the Hill today. But…
