I'm doing my subject line a little different since this cross-posts to Twitter now. I'm identifying it as a blog so as to distinguish it from links to kitten pictures ( Read more... )

This is an older video, but I think this an appropriate post for the times.

And if you'd like to take Mr. Klavan's advice and actually read the crinkly brown paper, the Founding Wig-Wearers had the foresight to also create a PDF version, and post it on the internet.

I believe it was Eddie Izzard that colorfully described the kind of movie "you can eat popcorn to" as the most over the top ridiculousness you can imagine. I believe it had something to do with alien monkeys and riding around on a scooter putting babies on spikes. Now I'm a big fan of action and adventure and even the occasional special effects ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned before, Tina and I are performing the Klingon Wedding at TrekTrax Atlanta, April 20-22. The wedding will be Saturday, the 21st. We are rushing to finish our costumes and make preparations. We seem to have the costumes well in hand, but we may need some help with other details ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be a guy who can insist that people come to his parties to celebrate and adore him...and people actually go. And if something isn't exactly as he wants it to be, he sinks lower than the Red October into the depths of self pity...and people actually give him the pity he wants, and choose to be every bit as ( Read more... )

Folks, these are divisive times, but there is absolutely no reason not to simply accept who someone is, whether they agree with you or not. If you want to disagree with something I say, fine. That is certainly your right. But don't call me out by name, make implications about my character, and expect me not to stand up to you. I lived a majority of ( Read more... )

I'm going to do my own take on the "who's reading my $#!+" meme. Post a reply describing where you were the last time you sneezed using no more than 1500 words, and how far you were from the nearest Taco Bell, bowling alley, or Brony ( Read more... )

When I was a boy, Dad was in the Air Force, and in my lifetime, he was stationed in Myrtle Beach, SC, Warner Robbins, GA, Bentwaters, U.K., and Goldsboro, NC. I was constantly exposed to country music, but never more so than when we came home for the holidays and stayed with my Granny and Grandpa. I was seemingly inundated with the likes of Conway ( Read more... )

Auld Lang Syne is a poem written by Robert Burns of Scotland in 1788 set to the tune of an old folk melody. The title phrase literally translated into English is “old long since” and carries with it the idea of days gone by or times of long ago. I am a deeply sentimental person, often to a fault. This song conjures up strong feelings for me, and ( Read more... )
