Souls Chapel

Not going to go into any great detail here.  But, there’s a really spooky place in my community.  It’s called Souls Chapel.  It was a story about a preacher gone bad and worshipping Satan until the locals killed him.  Then things got creepy.  I lived real close to Souls Chapel for a while.  I had to move.  A local guy has… (more…)

Slideshow plugin

I’ve never had a slideshow plugin I’ve liked.  So, let’s see how this one works:

The Non-Call

1992 – Duke was ranked #1 pre-season, and despite two close losses, remained #1 the entire season.  Kentucky was coming off a two year suspension with a brash young coach named Rick Pitino and manned by a bunch of kids who had remained loyal to UK and stayed through the suspension: Richie Farmer John Pelphrey Darren Feldhouse Sean Woods The… (more…)

Snubbing Farrah

OK, first of all, I have to get this out of the way since it HAS to be done:   Now let’s get to the nitty gritty.  A lot has been made of the Oscars snubbing Farrah during their tribute of deceased actors.  This is the Oscars defense: Bruce Davis, the executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts… (more…)

Useless trivia and small circles

While looking for something and finding something else I totally didn’t need to know, I stumbled on something that I had wrong for about two decades.It all started with a video search for The Talking Heads.  Finding one that I didn’t have the specific details for, I had to do a little looking to make sure it was what I… (more…)

M. Night Shyamalan

In 1999 M. Night Shyamalan gave us the blockbuster hit, The Sixth Sense.  The climax of the movie is when the kid looks Bruce Willis squarely in the eyes and tells him he sees dead people.  Something clicked in me when I was watching that.  He sees dead people, he sees Bruce Willis, ergo, Bruce must be dead.  The movie… (more…)

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

On, on, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! How’s that for a breathtaking cheer? This has got to be the stupidest name for a US professional team I’ve ever seen.  How would they get all that on a jersey? The history of how they got that name is fairly droll.  If I were a tax-paying citizen of Anaheim I think I’d… (more…)

Mr. Brooks

Not sure if you’ve seen Mr. Brooks or not.  Until last night, I hadn’t.  I hadn’t even heard of it.  It’s pretty cool though.  It’s about this serial killer that kills people for twenty years or so.  It also has a side-plot running that doesn’t make much sense until the movie’s pretty much over about an investigator and her run-in… (more…)

IneedaMustang.com

My friend, formerly known as Crow, now known as married, with step-kids, has reached an epiphany in the latter years of his life.  He needs a Mustang. In order to do this he only needs to do two things, grow a ponytail and raise about $30,000.  That’s it.  The ponytail part he’s doing on his own.  However, for the money… (more…)
