Just What Is It I Think I’m Doing, Anyway?

Yeah, about that. I’m not entirely sure about all that. I know this: I like to write. What exactly it is that I’m writing here, though, well that’s a good question. I’m sort of hoping it will reveal itself as I go along. One of the writers from (I think) the Washington [...]

Neal Peart Likes His Vibraslap

I really like Rush.  Not that stuff in a tiny bottle that was popular in discos and the gay community and had names like Locker Room (there’s an evocative name) and Bolt and (obviously) Rush.  That shit is amyl nitrate, and I have neither tried it nor wanted to.  In fact, the thought of it [...]

Top Chef Season 4 Winner: Not My First Choice, Or My Last.

Well, my personal favorite TC4 finalist, Richard Blais, did not win. Of course nether did Lisa, which mitigates the disappointment. The winner was the Switzerland of finalists, Stephanie. Once again Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy has detailed the nuts and bolts of the final show beautifully (complete with the menu), so if you [...]

Original Horror, Finally. “The Signal” Crushes.

I am and have been a horror film fan for a long time. The first film that scared the hell out of me was Halloween, which I saw in the theater when it was first released in 1978. It was my first film of that genre (that’d be the creepy-mass-murderer-that-won’t-die genre); there hadn’t [...]

Top Chef Finale, Finally

Unlike most [...]

Is This OCD? Is This OCD? Is This OCD?

I don’t like to think of myself as crazy (of course, I don’t like to think of myself as 45 and uncool either), but I do get worried about it from time to time.  Like tonight.  Tonight I got an earworm.  I’ve had a million of them over the years even though I didn’t know [...]

A Couple Of Neat Features

Ahem - just a moment of your time….. I wanted to let everyone know about two new features on Bone In The Fan to help you keep up with posts and comments a bit more easily (because I know you can’t stand the thought of missing a single magic word).  In addition to traditional RSS [...]

Can You Hear Me Now?

So I’m in the men’s room of an office building this afternoon, you know, just hanging out and enjoying the smell of freshly rotated urinal puck, when a guy in a suit walks in and steps up to one of the urinals.  He’s quiet, keeps to himself, just a guy in a suit in [...]
