B Fest Fans – Help Keep a Tradition Alive

For any B Fest fans out there, long time attendee Tim who distributes the annual ‘soundtrack’ CDs to all and sundry could use a little help keeping the tradition going for B Fest 2017. My first year as an attendee he came up to me out of nowhere and presented me with all of the […]

This is a thing!!!

I mean guys wrestling in giant monster suits as they destroy cardboard cites! How could this be not be awesome in every conceivable way? Called Kaiju Big Battel, it’s apparently been around for for years and now has a weekly home on the new The Monster Channel. […]

Word Salad Wednesday: Guns ‘n Roses – Night Train

Jeez, spoiled for choice with these guys, their entire lyrical output appears to have been produced by an epileptic twelve-year-old with Tourette’s. The music may have been cool but the lyrics were about as sensible as the concept of Chinese democracy. I really hope these were written under the influence of the shitty namesake wine, […]

Random Thoughts: Father’s Day Edition

Just some things I’ve been musing upon that don’t deserve whole blogs to themselves. Played The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimentional Insurance Agent for the nerdlings (now 11 on Tuesday and 14, respectively) and their enjoyment confirmed that I do indeed have a teen boy trapped in my head, driving the humor train. Not sure […]

Word Salad Wednesday – Def Leppard: Pour Some Sugar on me

The single most overplayed song of the summer of 1988 more than earns a place in our hall of shame. If anybody ever figures out what a radar phone is, I’m pretty sure I need one. Also I am pretty sure even Brits don’t pronounce ‘saccharine’ that way. Actual Lyrics Love is like a bomb […]

Something “Strange” for Your Tuesday

Since I broke my own no-politics-on-the-blog rule yesterday and since this has been a pretty damned dark week for the nation, I thought we could all use a good laugh today. Larry Correia’s The Adventures of Tom Strange, Interdimentional Insurance Agent is currently available through June 21st as a free audiobook from Audible. I […]

On the Vital Importance of Lying to Pollsters

You will rarely see me talk politics here, unless it’s an observation on its intersection with pop culture in some movie or other that catches my fickle (l)ibertarian eye, but I feel like this upcoming election requires just a little remaining effort before I wash my hands of the whole sordid mess and vote Vermin […]

Word Salad Wednesday – Lordi: Get Heavy

“Warp into Monster Disco Hell!” Boy, oh boy, oh boy. This one’s a hot mess. I’d use the excuse that the band is Finnish and not singing in their native tongue, except I’m pretty sure that Tomi Putaansuu’s (OK, brief interruption. Because I am just proud as hell that I spelled that right, in the […]

Word Salad Wednesdays – Dio: Holy Diver

So I’ve got major ankle surgery coming up at the end of June and will be in a cast for three months post-op, so I’ve been spending a lot of my free time working on long-procrastinated household projects (as opposed to long-procrastinated blog posts*) that have got to get done before I’m laid up or […]

Back From WhoCruising

Just a quick note to say that I got back last night from the latest iteration of the Sci-Fi Sea Cruise. Had a wonderful trip, but so many things happened that it is going to take a few days to get all my thoughts together and pictures sorted. Watch this space for more details (hopefully […]
