I came home to find two stations still churning out the old signal. One had a creepy end of the world, ghost channel feel, explaining what had happened to the signal, the other was All My Children, which also has a creepy end of the world feel. I guess I’ll be watching a lot more […]

Goodbye Analog.
Tonight my television will go fuzzy as analog signals are switched off across the country. My wife Kitty and I don’t necessarily have anything against TV, but for some reason we just didn’t scurry to get our converter box when the coupon arrived in the mail.

Have a Banana
Instead of writing a thoughtful, insightful, informative blog post that includes some anecdote about my hazy past followed by wry commentary and a link to a current news item about food, I’ve decided to post a video of a guy in a banana costume scaring the living hell out of people.

Thank You, Mr. Ford.
Today as I was frantically searching for something interesting to post about, I found something even better: Harrison Ford. The above web ad was so compelling, that even though I had no idea what Mr. Ford was supporting, I had to pause… “Wait. Harrison Ford supports it? The Harrison Ford? Then, you’re right, there is […]

Ice Cream or Monster?!
The other day I was called into the lair of Wm.™ Steven Humphrey—yes, I think lair is the best characterization of his office—and found him, face awash in the slight glow from his computer, feverishly scanning something on his screen. “Hold on a second,” he said.

Enter the Voodoo Burger
Today I ate this for lunch: That’s a glazed Voodoo doughnut, split in half, concealing a ground hamburger patty topped with a slice of cheddar cheese. If that description reminds you of the Luther Burger, then you are truly an aficionado of fucked-up food. But whereas the Luther Burger is a cheeseburger using two Krispy […]
