Save CBGB! ( Nevermind… )

In the late 70′s to early 80′s CBGB‘s in New York introduced young, pretty much unknown acts to the US that would come to dominate our youth culture for through the next century.  ACDC, Blondie, The Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Police.  Name any trend other than disco or urban rap, and CBGB is a major part of that trend… (more…)

Katrina Relief Fund

You can donate to the Red Cross to assist specifically in aide for the victims of Katrina. CLICK HERE TO DONATE! I already have donated.  They take contributions as little as $5, so there’s no excuse for anyone who can afford to connect to the internet and read this page not to donate something.

Bush approves Medicare payments for Starbucks

In the wake of a new study showing that coffee is the largest source of healthful in the American diet, the Bush administration today announced that Medicare will soon cover visits to Starbucks coffee clinics for "antioxidant treatments." Now, as I noted in a previous post, I have known that coffee is good for you a long time.  Some people… (more…)

David Byrnes’s Journal

The man who gave us "Making Flippy Floppy", "Slippery People", "Nothing But Flowers", and of course, the ultimate question in "Once In Lifetime", is blogging. Folks, this is possibly the funniest thing on the internet!

The Upside of Katrina?

I just couldn’t help but notice this: New Orleans is devastated, Mississippi’s getting pounded with heavy and damaging flooding on the coast at the very least.  The oil rigs have all been abandoned, cutting off potentially 25% of the nation’s oil supply guaranteeing prices that surged past $70 a barrel will only go even higher in a few days.  The… (more…)

Men’s ( and some ladies ) Eye Exam

This link is somewhat serious, and mostly funny.  If you ever think you have problems seeing very well, this thing is pretty good at telling you what the problem.  My problem more often than not is the last one. ( And do remember, this is not being posted on the Spacedream. )

Operating on Children

I read this post today by Lorie Byrd: My daughter is undergoing her third surgery to treat cholesteatoma in her ear (and hopefully to replace a hearing bone, if all goes well) this morning at 7:15. This is actually her fourth surgery in 13 months (three for cholesteatoma and one for ear tubes) and is her ninth in her five-year-old… (more…)

Coeds With Colds

I have found possibly the dumbest thing on the internet.  Maybe.  I know the bar is incredibly high, but I’m pretty sure I have a candidate here.  Coeds With Colds.  I kid you not.  You get to witness young men and women sniffling and generally feeling pretty miserable.  You get to go to the store with them in search of… (more…)

Moog

When I was a kid, about 10 or 11 years old, my cousin Tim, who was a hippie at the time, showed me his latest toy.  It was the most intriguing, fascinating, totally captivating thing I had ever seen.  Ever.  I didn’t know what it was, or what it did.  But, it had wires sticking out of it in every… (more…)

A REAL Land Cruiser

I’m also with the Instapundit guys in that I think I would enjoy one of these more: The JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank.  Now, my favorite car growing up was the 1974 Buick Electra 225.  Actually, it was a close second to my 1974 Gremlin.  But, the reason I liked it was because it was what I thought of as a… (more…)
