I think everybody has, once in a blue moon, an extremely vivid dream. I’ve had a few that have stuck with me for eons. One of them, which goes back darn near 20 years, is when I dreamed that KCOW was sold to the Japanese and turned into some other business. We were all leaving … Continue reading The Dreams Of A Geek
This is one of my favorite random “SImpsons” bits: Of course, the actual “very late Three Stooges” shorts…the final batch produced at Columbia Pictures in 1955 and 1956, featured Larry, Moe, and Joe Besser. I just finished a pretty lengthy autobiography that, in its initial printing in the early 80s was called “Not Just A … Continue reading On The Bookshelf: The Joe Besser Story, Available in Hardcover and “Not So Ha-a-a-rd” Cover
Pat Adriance is one of my closest and dearest friends. Last summer when I went home to see the family, Pat and his clan paid us a visit. Pat’s Dad is a retired social studies teacher with a Master of Arts in Political Science. His master’s thesis is now a book: “Nixon, Congress, And The … Continue reading On The Bookshelf: Nixon and Drugs
Yes, this is another blog post shamelessly promoting my internet radio creations with Dangerous Dave Kuskie. Our newest series, “Tales From The Inner Sanctum”, is our version of an anthology series. “Twilight Zone”, “Night Gallery”, and so forth. The Inner Sanctum is a massive structure of which Dave and I have somehow possessed ownership. The … Continue reading The Benny Zone
Starting to put a dent in my “unread books” pile. If Facebook memes are to be believed, I am far from alone in the habit of gathering books faster than I can read them. But I do like to read them…sometimes it just takes a while. “Yabba Dabba Doo! …or Never A Star” is about … Continue reading On The Bookshelf: Reed and Brooks
None of these things individually qualify for a blog post. But put them all together! And…..it still really doesn’t qualify as a full blog post. Nevertheless, I’m paying for this blog and I gotta generate content. So, content ahoy! -In a previous blog post, which I did not share on Facebook or promote in any … Continue reading Random Thoughts For A Saturday
I visited my doctor last week. My reasons for visiting him were that my ears were clogged. I had been taking ear drops, none too successfully. I decided it was time for the nuclear option, which is an ear wash. They spray water directly into your ear and de-waxify you. It’s unpleasant but effective. While … Continue reading 146 Pounds.
Facebook is always selling to me. It knows the weird stupid crap I like, and flaunts it shamelessly before me. It’s a cavalcade of things I don’t need and would never have had the urge to own had Facebook not been pimping them out to me. Like a Frank Sinatra watch. I didn’t need one. … Continue reading Snoopy Is Cooler In Japan
So, funny thing….I recently did a post about the two fellows who did the voice of Fred Flintstone. It’s here if you haven’t seen it yet. Once in a blue moon I decide to do a little paid advertising of the ol’ bloggy to the Faceboook universe out there just to see what happens. Advertising, … Continue reading After These Messages…
Fred Flintstone was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and Alan Reed. Bill and Joe, after seeing large adult audiences for kid-focused syndicated series like “The Huckleberry Hound Show”, decided to try an animated series for adults. They went through all sorts of different historical eras (one of them, ancient Rome, was launched a … Continue reading Alan And Henry (Or: The Two Faces Of Fred)
