LADY, PLAY YOUR MANDOLLIN!
You know, it’s crazy to think there was a time where we couldn’t drink alcohol. Other than those times we smuggled beer into our dorm rooms, Prohibition for adults is a thing of the VERY distant past. But one good thing about Prohibition is that it led to Lady, Play Your Mandolin! from 1931, the […]
Dreams
I did graduate from college! (Believe it or not.) and I have these nightmares constantly, where I’m scrambling to finish a last class and not have to take another semester. I wake up SO relieved. Some people have night terrors. I don’t think I’ve ever had one, but I’d welcome a creepy sleep paralysis demon, […]
ROCKETS IN HIS POCKETS
My father introduced me to Kaiju Eiga, (Japanese films about giant monsters) and then he died. He wouldn’t have known the Japanese terminology (Or maybe he did. He was big on history and other cultures.) but, as a kid, it wasn’t Kaiju, it was just a bunch of guys in rubber monster suits, knockin’ each […]
The First Four Game Boy Games STILL KICK ASS!!
Well…two of them do. Your mileage may vary on Baseball and Mahjong. Let us discuss them. We will start with, probably my fave of the lot…. ALLEYWAY: Alleyway is a clone of Breakout, which was a big hit for Atari. Now that Nintendo was doing a version for their brand new Game Boy system they […]
I saw the Montauk Monster and the Jersey Devil in the same morning.
Actually, I probably didn’t, but I saw some guys that sort looked like them. To begin with, for the underinformed, I should probably explain who the Montauk Monster and the Jersey Devil are. I’ll start with the Jersey Devil because he is more well known. THE JERSEY DEVIL I’ve been reading about the […]
GRAMPS!
I don’t really like people all that much, but if I had to pick a person to like it would probably be my Gramps. And since it’s Memorial Day I’m gonna memorialize him! In all seriousness (Or, at least as serious as I can be) everyone loved Gramps. And I might just have been his […]
Garfield’s Insults Put-Downs and Slams book didn’t get him cancelled?
A lot of comedians get “cancelled” for making offensive jokes. We live in a time that is more sensitive to the feelings of others. I wish times were more like this when I was a skinny kid, getting his X-Men cards stolen from him, and being dangled off a bridge on a class trip, but […]
REVENGE FROM PLANET APE!!
So, I was waiting to write about this until the new Planet of the Apes movie came out and the fact that the new movie is such a success makes it even more fun for me to “MARCH INTO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE” of Planet of the Apes movie history! What would be a more appropriate […]
ROGER CORMAN IS DEAD!?
It feels odd to say you are shocked when speaking of an 98 year old man who just died, but the last time I saw Roger Corman being interviewed by Joe Bob Briggs, he still seemed filled with vim and vigor! He still seemed like he wanted to make another movie! I can’t begin explain […]
It’s a bird! It’s a cat! It’s SUPERMAN THE CAT!
Over the course of my life, I’ve had many a cat. (Or, you know, the cats had me.) but, I think the strangest one HAD to have been Superman. I know what you’re thinking, “He’s a comic book geek, so he named him Superman.” This is factually untrue. Well, not the part about me being […]
