Slapshot Monday II

Doug Flutie announced his retirement today. Flutie was told that he was too small to be a quarterback but every NFL team. Standing 59 and weighing roughly 180lbs (which I believe was my size in the 5th grade), Flutie lead Boston College to a comeback victory with a Hail-Mary pass that is now the gold standard for college plays. Even with that...

Rapid Fire Friday V

What happened to the nice booklets inside of DVDs? I really liked those. They were like the liner notes on a CD.

Is it my imagination or are there now more things to hook your iPod up to than really needed? You can play it in your car, attach it to speakers or even have it be your alarm clock. Soon...

Four-Color Thursday

Okay, theres a good chance the titles of the days may change. I am open to suggestions. But for now well go with this one.

In the early-90s I had a very simple pull file at my local comic shop; it read: all Marvel. I read next to no DC books. I tried Dark Horses line of heroes when they came out and...

Showbiz Wednesday

Continuing the new themed days for my blog, today we are going to look at the entertainment industry or as I like to call it, the escapism industry. The say that Hollywood is the one industry protected from recessions because no matter how bad things get, people still need to escape from reality in two-hour chunks. Movies were still made during the depression,...

Rapid Fire Friday IV

I saw the trailer for Superman still not sold on the small logo on the chest or the total geek look of Clark Kent but Ill be in the audience.

I hear in England they are marketing Mission Impossible 3 based on JJ Abrahms and not Tom Cruise. See, your mom was right; jumping on a couch will just cause trouble....

Rapid Fire Friday III

I have seen way too much coverage of the NFL draft and the thing isnt until tomorrow.

Didnt everyone write off the Lakers after Shaq left someone forgot to tell the Lakers.

With the walkout or whatever they are calling it planned for Monday; it could backfire horribly if there really arent any significant problems caused by the missing workers.

Me think thou dost protest too much.

I find it odd that so many different programs have been made to investigate the claims made in the Da Vinci Code. I understand that the author, Dan Brown, has put forth some interesting theories that go against the established teachings of the Catholic Church. But for the church to come out against the novel seems like overkill....

Rapid Fire Friday

After watching some of Gonzales press conference today, its obvious that the government will continue to use protecting children as an excuse to censor morality for adults.

As a kind I loved baseball, would watch or listen to every Dodger game I could. Now I could care less about baseball but listen to the NFL channel constantly.

A Playboy radio station is...

Is this ad really necessary?

Volkswagen has a new series of ads called Safety Happens; if you havent seen them Ill give you the run down. The first one is about two buddies ridding in a car together. The driver is complaining that his woman doesnt listen to him and the passenger tries to explain to him that its because he uses the word like...

Theres a benefit to being married that few people talk about but most everyone understands.

What is this benefit? No more first dates. I think everyone has a bad first date story, some are worse than others. But I know very few people with a good first date story. Which amazes me that anyone ever finds the right person. Hell, it could even explain why...

Well, I thought I was going to write today.

Last night when I get home and settled onto the computer, my plan was to do a few things for the Book of Bad Ideas and then I would put that aside and spend all day Saturday on the first script for my new mini-series. That was the plan at least and as most plans, it...
