You Bastards, You Killed Firefly
It has become brutally apparent now (like it hadn’t before, right?) that network television, along with its bastard cousin – cable, is run by the most incompetent scatter, nay, lame brained people in all of the Universe and beyond. And I shall prove it in the coming weeks. For my first tirade, I begin with…
Read MoreThe Scooby Doo Movie
Or rather that title should read, “I can’t believe I’m giving a good review to Scooby-Doo the Movie,” because I am, and I can’t. For what I thought was going to be your typical cornball “Family-fun” (uuuugggghhh- I shudder at the mere thought) movie, it sure surprised me. Plenty of innuendos on who’s gay; who’s…
Read MoreA Bully Father: Theodore Roosevelt’s Letters to His Children
To begin with, the term ‘bully’ in this sense does not equate itself with the schoolyard bully and his band of thugs and cretins who always leaned on you for your milk money. Rather, the term as Roosevelt used it, was reminiscent of such terms as ‘good’, ‘great’, and/or ‘wonderful.’ And indeed, that is what…
Read MoreMotorhead’s Hammered Tour May 2002
We headed out for New Jersey around seven or seven thirty at night. I had been home from the crap factory I called college for a couple of hours. I had my shiny new ticket I purchased on-line from ticket-master all ready to go. It had been relatively smooth sailing for what was maybe an…

Yesterday was Thanksgiving; the day to give thanks, hence the name. We are to be thankful for what we have. However, there are those out there who A) believe that all they have is a given or, B) that there is nothing to be thankful for. Well, have I got a short tale for you:…
Read MoreA Day Late and A Dollar Menu Short
Or, Suing the Fat Recently, the famed burger stand chain known as McDonald’s has come under fire and is being sued by at least nine families claiming that the food caused serious health problems in their children. Leading the lawsuit is Gregory Rhymes, a fifteen year old who, “used to eat a burger, fries and…

UHF is a movie about hope and discovery wrapped up in a shell of corny gags and riotous parody.

Oddly enough there are those out there who follow these pages and wonder where is it all going. I include myself in this noble few. I have made it an outlet for comics and the odd review of past and present, but something is missing. I can’t let a killer title like New World Otter…
Read MoreBudapest Is Back, Baby!
It is amazing the education one can receive just while riding the bus. Prior to yesterday, I had no idea that the capital of Hungry was the leading tourist center of Europe. Not that I really gave a fig. Apparently theater, music and the arts all thrive there. But you wouldn’t want to live there;…
