No Cold Open

Well, there was but there wasn't. You just need to listen.

Sunburned!

On the drive up to Brainerd, MN last weekend I neglected to put sunscreen on my left arm. Not good. I got a pretty significant sunburn.

A Trip To Brainerd For My Son's Birthday Part 2

The legendary Paul Bunyan in the flesh, or fiberglass.

Netflix Raises Its Prices! Oh, no! The Sky Is Falling!

Yes, yes, yes. Price increases suck, but let's not lose our minds here. Netflix is still a tremendous value, so suck it up.

Today's Heroes: Hege Dalen & Toril Hansen

Our heroes! Too bad they're going to hell.

These two women's heroic actions of saving the lives of 40 teenager who were being targeted by alleged madman, Anders Breivik, during his murder spree in Norway were largely overlooked by the news media. With no regard for their own safety, Hege Dalen and Toril Hanson took their boat over to the island where the massacre was occurring to get as many of the kids to safety as they could. They made four trips and saw that their boat had been shot.

Why have their heroics gone unreported (or at least underreported)? Hege and Toril are a married, lesbian couple! Maybe that isn't the reason, but it seems suspicious.

I took this opportunity to address a point a Facebook friend made about these heroes. Their are those in this world who think, because God hates fags, these two women are going to hell. Jesus Christ! How great is their god?

Read more about Hege's and Toril's selfless act here.

Continuity Errors And The Larry Sanders Show


I have a tendency to spot little mistakes in movies and TV shows, and I gotta tell ya! The Larry Sanders Show is riddled with them!

A Bucket Full Of Crazy

John Lennon and his killer, Stephen King. How's that now?

Wanna see what untreated mental illness can lead to? Go here and find out the truth about who killed John Lennon. According to this person who has gone of his meds, it wasn't Mark David Chapman. It was Stephen King. And King was under orders from former president, Richard Nixon and then President-Elect Ronald Reagan. It's a bucket full of crazy.
