I got the message from one of my Facebook friends yesterday. It was short and to the point. “Your girl has been future endeavored.” To a professional wrestling fan, that can only mean one thing. That wrestler is no longer a member of the largest pro wrestling circuit out there, World Wrestling Entertainment. The company…
Read MoreI need more Mystery Science Theater 3000 in my life.
The headline says it. Mystery Science Theater 3000, the show that takes old movies and riffs on them – and riffs hard on them – seems to have more lives than a cat. Originally created as a public access program in Minneapolis, the show was picked up by Comedy Central, and was at one point…
Read MoreWhy did I block you on Facebook?
Yesterday, just because everyone should do this at least once a year, I went to my Facebook blocked list and looked it over. I currently have 21 people blocked on Facebook. Blocked in that they can’t contact me, can’t see what I write, and can’t hassle me. How long will they remain blocked? For as…
Read MoreAn alternate take on the Ocular 6
Last month, I took some dream-inspired photos of my eyeglasses against the image of my living room Venetian blinds. And the best of the pictures was this image, which I called “The Ocular 6.” I still like this photo, don’t get me wrong. But I wanted to try something with it. Right now, all I…

The Malta Drive-In Speaker Project
So I’ve had some fun restoring these old drive-in speakers and making them functional again. It’s a nice little distraction, and I do like the finished products.

Read MoreThe cleanout chemicals tasted like feet.
So, a while back I blogged about not being worried about getting a colonostomy. I thought everything would go well. Operative word – thought. Never “think” things will go well. Because prior to a colonoscopy, you need to do what’s generally known as “prep.” Prep involves adjusting your diet for about a week, and then…

Read MoreI need some happy dancing, don’t you?
I’ve got a lot of stuff going on of late. And you know what? I need something happy and joyful to get through these moments. And apparently, I found something. There’s a group of YouTube videos that feature athletic dancers grooving and jumping to classic rock and roll. No, seriously. For example, here’s some energetic…
Read MoreBaby Yoda and Benzene? Aw, man…
Last year, I wrote a blog post about finding this little treasure, a bottle of Star Wars: The Mandalorian hand sanitizer. Which I thought was kind of cute. I mean, you get your hands clean, and you’ve got the cute little image of Grogu / The Child / Baby Yoda on the package. That was,…
