Refueling for the Daily Bombing Run on Chuck’s Yard

Love Stinks…yeah, yeah

To get ahead of that Valentine’s Day rush, I bring you…

Bittersweets®

For most, there is no crueler day of the calendar year than that of Valentine’s Day. While a tiny fraction of the population can look forward to a holiday of wine and roses, poetry and song, the vast majority of us can [...]

Great Caesar’s Ghost!

Here’s an interesting/weird article from the Times of London on a surge of “real-life superheroes” in the U.S.

For Mr Invisible, the first and last blow to his burgeoning career as a superhero was an unexpected punch that flattened his nose.

“After months of designing my costume, getting my street moves just right, [...]

Something to Stand On

Heather Mills is being sued by a former nanny who claims she was forced to perform “extra” duties outside of the job description. One of these was to force her to spray tan Ms. Mills nude body. To be fair — it wasn’t a complete spray job so the damages should be dropped.

Where are they now?

Via Yahoo, a fun little look back at the movie Top Gun and its stars. Back when communism was bad, F-14s and Raybans were cool and Kelly McGillis could believeably be a government expert in the field of Soviet-Bloc fighter aircraft.

The soundtrack was the first “rock” or “pop” recording I ever purchased, back [...]

Movie Review: “The Tale of Desperaux”

I am tempted to simply use the review for Spinal Tap’s “Shark Sandwich” but you know me; I’m never one to shy away from 2,000 words when 2 will suffice.

I am a big fan of reading.  Reading has literally (get it? “literally”) made me who I am.  My dad was a garbage man when I [...]

The most hated film critic alive

Speaking of aristocracy, Ben Lyons, the 27-year-old host of “At the Movies” and son of venerable film critic Jeffery Lyons, is being decried as the worst movie critic alive.

Consensus is that Lyons, the son of New York film critic Jeffrey Lyons, is unworthy of the balcony seats once occupied by Roger Ebert and [...]

Rich’s Deposition: The Children’s Book

Guess which one is Rich and which one is the lawyer? Hmmm….

A Horror Movie

Link sent to me by fellow gun-pilot Matt. Hang in there to the end, it’s worth it.

A shotgun would have been better, but who am I to complain?

More on the class war

Victor Davis Hanson gives insight into the liberal media love of aristocracy and the current issues surrounding Caroline “You Know” Kennedy. This one is a keeper.

Compared to Sarah Palin’s almost immediate immersion into crowds and public speaking, Kennedy seems like a deer in the headlights before the media that is either ignored or [...]

Bleecccchhhhh!

Two days of depositions for your (not so) humble correspondent. That leaves you subject to the not-so-tender mercies of Rufus (assuming that he emerges from his holiday drunk), Floyd, Chuck and the rest of the gang. I’ll check in at night, but keep those marvelous comments going. The next YouTube flick produced [...]

Stephanie Speaks — Open Thread

There was talk earlier of Lorne Greene and singing….

Wankette, thank you!

NOTE: Picture taken in 1972, slightly before the birth of my brother. Not many more happy photos from that year.

Some Dogs Will Do Anything

Just to get to Chuck’s lawn:

“The Ed Hotchuli Bowl”

I so very seldom like — as Rush calls it — “APObama”.  But that nickname for the Bolts & Donks’ playoff game tonight = totally appropriate.

Photo-Analysis

Eric made the unfortunate mistake of submitting a pic from his childhood, which we are now legally required to mock.

Vegas not a total bust

Rufus, Floyd and Threedonia — ahem — staff,

Sadly, the powers that be trusting me to multiply the corporate coffers failed with my placing our budget on Black 23 (as seen here, been a fan of the number before most of the world knew of Michael Jordan and, yes, distracting St. Mary’s opponents with the [...]

A post because I can. Ha!

Kane here, abusing my posting privileges to make a post out of something that could have just been a more  complete comment to the Col. Sanders Christmas post. Too bad. Rank, no matter how unearned, does have its privileges. I’ve got a password and I’m using it. And I can’t believe I’m going to [...]

“Spiritually Significant” Films

Here’s an interesting list over at the Culture11 website of the “50 Most Spiritually Significant Films”. As always — arguable — but that’s what makes lists enjoyable to most folks.

h/t: Floyd’s Mom

Whoremonger! Whore!

I guess $40 is cheaper than buying her jewelry to do certain things.

Rich… is this the manifestation of a “dumb Polack” joke or what?!?
