Double Super-Secret Probation

Not even Dean Wormer knows about it.
I hate leaving my blog un-updated.  Unfortunately, I’m smack in the middle of a project that is taking a ton of my time. And the project is secret, so I can’t blog about it.
It has nothing to do with yellow cake uranium, and it has nothing to do with [...]

Oh Good Lordi

You must be kidding.
I like monsters. I do.  And  I love music.  But I’m not so sure the two of them do a chocolate-in-my-peanut butter, peanut-butter-on-my-chocolate kind of a thing if you catch my drift.  Case in point?  Lordi, the Finish “heavy metal” (you’ll understand the quotes in a minute) band I saw on Conan [...]

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 [...]

American Idol Finals Magic:
David Archuleta Makes Me Throw Up In My Mouth

December 8, 1980, New York City: Mark David Chapman murders John Lennon on a street in front of his home.  The world mourns.
May 20, 2008, Los Angeles: David Archuleta murders “Imagine” on national television.  I puke in my mouth.
I almost didn’t watch it.  My 11 year old daughter wanted to watch the Idol finals (she’s [...]
