This kid is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Now, to put this kid in perspective, he’s 11.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Amazon.com Widgets We went to see the latest Indy movie.  It was, in every aspect, a very typical Indiana Jones in my opinion.  That of course, is excellent.  Great personality development, quick references to other movies that catch your attention, lots of things that go boom, just a little violence to make you squirm if you have kids, and of… (more…)

Sweet Home Alabama?

My buds over at Independent Sources wonder if this is what a trip looks like: I can’t imagine a trip being that scary.  I get the impression watching this we lost the Cold War and the Commie Russians have over-run Atlanta.  Not sure which would be worse, an Atlanta dealing with Russkie Commie lookin dudes, or the real Atlanta dealing… (more…)

I’m back!

Ran into a little kink in the system over the last few days.  Hope you all didn’t miss me too terribly bad.  There might be some little kinks here and there, but for the most part things should be a lot safer, and hopefully faster in a couple of days.  One word to the wise, do NOT use godaddy’s servers!… (more…)

Sometimes numbers lie

Got a real shock when I saw this headline: Death Toll From China Quake Rises to 107, 900 Students Buried To be a little more clear, that’s not 107,900 students buried.  That’s 107 deaths, 900 students buried.

Speed Racer

Me and the boy went to see Speed Racer yesterday.  I don’t know what to make of this one.  First impression was I was glad it was over.  The old tv series was that jerky anime stuff that I never liked.  The movie held true to form.  It’s jerky, it’s fast, it has bodies floating around the screen, it has… (more…)

Titanic 2: Two the Surface

The internet has given us lots of things.  Some good, some bad, some criminal.  It has also led to a lot of confusion as the restrictions to communication have been totally removed in most parts of the world.  Now, there’s a new generation of people popping on the internet that have taken pranks or artistic liberties to a new level. … (more…)

Stir it up, and toss in some fries

There is so much wrong with this song!  I’ve loved it for years.  Not sure if Dread is still around or not, but I’m looking! If I were to have another bash on the lake for my birthday, this is who I want for the band!

Michelle Kosinski strikes again!

I enjoy Newsbusters almost as much as Mythbusters.  They’re a hoot at pointing out factual errors in reporting.  And, they LOVE picking on MSNBC.  Good reason to, MSNBC is a classic at bad reporting.  However, in their haste to show how wrong today’s headline was, I think they missed the obvious chuckle of the day.  To wit, a young girl… (more…)

Frat boys on coke! (Who’d a thunk it?)

Sometimes I gotta wonder what it takes to be a major media contributer.  Today’s case in point: The headline: Nearly 100 Students Arrested in Massive Drug Raid at San Diego State University Simple enough.  Enticing, curiosity is piqued.  Good job so far.  Now, to the meat of the story: The San Diego County district attorney’s office says nearly 100 students… (more…)
