Eric during a broadcast of Radio Free Threedonia… For the second time our very own Eric Porvaznik will be cheating on us guest hosting Big Hollywood blogger Larry “Stage Right” O’Connor’s BlogTalk Radio show this evening from 9:00 — 11:00 PM PST. Call-in number is (347) 850-1946. Call in and ask any question [...] I’ve only seen a couple of episodes of Undercover Boss on CBS.- Each week the CEO of a major corporation goes undercover to work somewhere within his corporation. It’s a great concept and a great reality show. Kudos to CBS for doing it. This is from the 7-Eleven episode. This is [...] The Buffalo Sabres (for whom Ryan Miller is goalie) played the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pitsburgh in the first NHL game back from the Olympic break. Sidney Crosby — game-winning goal scorer for Team Canada plays for the Penguins. The fans give Ryan Miller a great standing O for his great work for Team [...] Share on Facebook Ho-ly shi-tuh!!! Depending on what day it is and my mood – am I blues Eric or eclectic Eric? – my choice of favorite album ever vacillates between Exile on Main Street or London Calling (Fair Warning if I’m in a particularly pissy mood, but due to its miniscule-but-packing-a-powerful-punch length, must hit play again after [...] No embedding available just yet, so please go check out the trailer here. Needless to say, looks pretty damn awesome! Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Share on Facebook With heavy metal madman Rob Zombie, what you see is what you get: balls-to-the-wall, devilishly and delightful spookshow-inspired mayhem. It’d be nice if his mastery of the 45-60 minute album medium translated to the feature length film arena (and damned if he doesn’t try — too hard or too little, I can’t quite tell), but [...] If any of you are looking for something to do in between your Lincoln log-rolling and silver dollar-throwing contests (or your FDR wheelchair race and Kennedy-themed quarters tournament*) you could give this game a try: The object is to give your robot a set of simple instructions that will direct him to change all the blue [...] [I received the below e-mail and the above picture from an avid threedonia reader in China. I know we've also got some readers in Russia. If we could just get a few in Cuba we'd have the Communist world covered. (Brian, I deleted your last name. If you want folks to know more about [...] In some way this video makes me glad they don’t really show music videos on MTV anymore… What the hell, Billy? Ace of Spades has the video of the first ten minutes of Music Television. That was some cool stuff way back then. What the hell happened? I guess I could ask the same question about [...] I love the Bible. I love reading it, studying it and I find it continually relevant on everyday topics attendant with the spiritual wisdom inside. I don’t expect some of you to understand all that — e-mail me and we’ll have a chat about that — I’m not a blog proselytizer…. Anyway… [...] If you have ever been curious about what a real no-shit fighter pilot is like, that was Robin Olds. He passed away in June of 2007 but his spirit and legend continue on. In April his biography will be released he was writing it when he passed…it should be awesome Get all the info HERE. You can [...] The Magnificent Seven (1960) I don’t care if the theme is a cliche — I still get chills when the music plays dammit. Better [...]
It’s the first practical flying car, courtesy of bunch of MIT propeller-heads who got together to form Terrafugia and produce the Transition aircraft/automobile. No trailers to haul the wings about – just land, hit a button: the wings fold up and you drive away. Anticipated price? A shade under $200,000. If Rufus ever [...] Wonder if this is good or bad for John Nolte’s Tru(e) Crime fixes… Share on Facebook
Every once in a while the daughtorial unit surprises me by doing something useful. (I keed – I keed!) In this case, she turned me onto what may possibly be the best cartoon ever: The Venture Brothers. I am so out of touch with all things cool, and The Venture Brothers – as I [...] AC/DC has just announced AC/DC: Iron Man 2, the official album set to be released April 19th through Columbia Records in support of the upcoming Iron Man 2 film from Marvel Studios. The album will feature 15 classic AC/DC songs, selected from ten of the band’s studio albums, ranging from 1976 to 2008. Included in [...] Perhaps you needed a John Wayne fix today… from Dick Cavett blogging at The New York Times (you’re welcome): The setting was the Universal lot in Hollywood, and I was preparing a prime-time special to be called “Dick Cavett’s Backlot U.S.A.” We’d somehow lured Mae West out of her most recent retirement. We had Mickey [...] “Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all.” Since the subject of home schooling has come up I thought I’d share an article I read recently. It’s very interesting. I really recommend it. The article can be found here, http://www.spiritmag.com/features/article/the_happiest_man_on_earth/ Here are a few snippets: On Logan’s parents’ homestead, at the edge of an orchard-covered mesa overlooking the [...] Share on Facebook Here is a fascinating article from The Wall Street Journal and the golden age of poisoners and the scientists who battled and still battle them. In 1906, Belle Gunness started running personal ads in Midwestern papers. She described herself as an attractive widow with a lush Indiana farm property, interested in an equally affluent new husband. [...] I sent this to my wife the wedding photographer… nice to see some creativity… Good luck to the happy couple. Not sure why it took 10 years, but who am I to judge. Peace and a long and happy marriage! Share on Facebook … but still love me some screamin’ guitars. Last night, the inimitable Jimmy Page, Jack White (so much more impressed with him now) and the Edge (not so impressive when you take away the boy’s effects pedals) in the amazing It Might Get Loud. This morning, even more geetar legends sharing the stage. Damn! Share [...] Seeing the direction today seems to be taking, see Rufus to enter the “How Long Till Bot’s Head Explodes?” office pool.
Share on Facebook Detail (showing the Americas) of a large 1602 world map made by Matteo Ricci presented to the Chinese. Here’s a fascinating New York Times review of an exhibition at The Library of Congress (through April) of the “Ricci Map”. From the review: When a map of overwhelming dimensions and detail is presented to the ruler of [...] Share on Facebook For those who listed Johnny Cash’s American series of albums as some of their favorites of the last decade, get ready for what may be just one more. Considering Rick Rubin’s confessions he and Johnny left a lot of songs on the cutting room floor, I somehow doubt this’ll be the last one, but who [...] Share on Facebook Share on Facebook OK, we still had some sound glitches, but we indeed ran a full 120 minutes with no major stalls or even a few minutes of silence. In our first interview-less show in God knows how long, and ably produced and piloted by Young Gun Conservative’s Kender “Patriot Missile” MacGowan, Rich, Floyd and I, along with [...] Tomorrow afternoon I’m giving a guest lecture on the insanity defense to a graduate psychology course entitled “The Psychopathic Mind”. The usual suspects appear of course: And Bundy and Gacy, etc. All cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs — yet none insane (except for Andrea Yates). I found a particularly chilling 911 call [...] FO3D Christian Toto has a timely reminder up over at Big Hollywood, but for those who inexplicably don’t come around there no more… With all pardons for swiping a line from Van Halen … Say nice things and people sometimes notice. Say glowing things here and here, and apparently even cooler people notice. That’s right, folks, in [...] It’s inventor’s name is Professor Nutt, but don’t hold that against him. By harnessing benzodiazepines like diazepam, the chief ingredient in anti-anxiety med Valium, Nutt sees a future of drinking without becoming addicted, belligerent or — and here’s the kicker — intoxicated. Using one of thousands of possible benzos, researchers are working to tailor a colorless, [...] Do we need to send a manned spacecraft to Mars — for real this time? Frank Stratford at The Space Review makes his case: The difference is Mars is a whole other planet, not just a distant land. It can be seen as a challenge—an extreme challenge—and it is, so why go? It will [...] Threedonians… it’s never too early to plan ahead for next Christmas. Do all your shopping then at ChocolateWeapons.com. Just don’t try to take these on a plane. They also have ice bullets — or trays shaped like… Never had the stuff, but it looks cool. Share on Facebook I spent the Christmas weekend up at my sister’s house in Monroe, Connecticut. It’s a lovely town a little north of Bridgeport, and the first taste of real New England you get when you’re driving north from New York City. There are beautiful hills and woods, churches and gazebos, lovely leaves in the fall and there [...] (repost from last year) If any of you find yourself with overly anxious kids underfoot tomorrow steer them towards NORAD’s Santa Tracker. It’s been an annual tradition in the Firefly household for at least 8 years now. The site has frequent updates on where and when Santa’s been sighted, and includes fun games and videos to [...] For the fans of American IV: The Man Comes Around (and Hee Haw College Widow) and all that was super-Christmas cool about the Man in Black. Floyd, my apologies if you were waiting to use either of these for a special Friday Gospel this week. Share on Facebook Here’s a fascinating article written by a French infantryman in Afghanistan extolling the virtues of his American comrade in arms from a certain well-known Army division. It’s from 2008, but Blackfive just linked to it. Here’s the original article in French… the above is a translation — well worth the read. Here’s [...] As we continue to work out the technical kinks at our new Right Talk Radio home, an early Christmas/late Hanukkah present for our loyal RF3D listeners: week 2.2’s interviews, minus the in-between chatter from me and Floyd. Some call it a blessing and in lieu of our second unanticipated delay, I won’t argue that point. Also, [...] |
