Seems like a frightening number of people I'm coming across are getting their news (and probably even even their opinions) strictly from blogs, the Daily Show and online news video clips.... but I'll add to the madness, and post this clip in the spirit of levity, only because it had me in hysterics at the time it aired, when there wasn't much else ( Read more... )

The announcement of Bob Moog's death just broke through on FoxNews of all places. I never did get my Moog interview, though I talked with him several times over the years, and found him to be incredibly nice. Like Mister Rogers nice. Wish I could recall more details of those talks.... he was like an anecdote machine. I'm going to regret not ( Read more... )

I need that guy* wearing a shower cap and a diaper, ( Read more... )

I just signed up for the plan to earn free mileage every time someone uses the word "bananas" this Summer! Y'all might remember how the past couple Summers I put some starving African children through college with my investments in "debauchery" and "hijinx"!!!??! It's gonna be Coconuts! C-O-N-O-NUTS ( Read more... )

I have a strange Passover memory of my Father walking around with a lighter checking for bread in the fireplace, while a friend of his from Temple acted as "witness". Sephardic Jews are very, very superstitious. These were the Orthodox years of my childhood (though I say that half kiddingly). My mom would sneak me salami sandwiches with mayo in ( Read more... )

Are the same people who design orthopedic shoes designing laptop bags too? Could these things be any more retarded looking? Even the best options have excessive reflective tape, and more buckles then a straight jacket. I don't like to talk about wifi hotspots, or burning man and I don't listen to Moby... so maybe I'm not the target market for ( Read more... )
