The Internet Phenomenon of “rickrolling” has just come to my attention, which means the meme has probably been building for months and months now, and I’m the last person to know that “rickrolling” is misleading somebody to click a link which takes them to the music video of 1980s 1-hit-wonder Rick Astley “Never gonna give [...]

There was this one Invader Zim episode where Zim turns Dib into bologna because Dib threw bologna at Zim. (click this link to view the episode in another browser) When Bologna comes in contact with Zim’s skin, it fuses to him, causing him immense pain and wailing. I know that makes no earthly sense, but there [...]

I’ve been considering earworms just lately, because I’ve had one or another of them stuck in my head constantly for the past two weeks or so. It started with Morning Coffee, a sweet, wistful, decade-old Japanese bubblegum pop hit from the first incarnation of the wildly popular and enduring Morning Musume. The song is all [...]

I think it took all of three minutes to vote. Seriously, there was hardly any turnout at my local polling station. There was one woman leaving when I got there, and two men and another woman showed up as I was on my way out. No lines, no pollsters, no campaigners hanging [...]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names. For example, I can’t ever keep David Duchovny & George Clooney straight in [...]

I was looking at a collection of charming vintage videos at thesmokinggun.com, of all places, and saw this one, which is a review of swim and leisurewear from sometime in the early 1950s, and noted that the girls who ride out toward the end of the video do so on a fleet of Schwinn cruisers [...]

This week has been gorgeous in the weather department. Gorgeous for December anyhow. I’ve ridden on my lunch break or extra after work every day so far, and I plan to do the same tomorrow. Being as it has been basically cold and shitty the previous couple of weeks, I had been racking up a [...]

But before I get on with the recaps from Sunday, I’d like to draw your attention to a new blog in town - Team Sexypants, authored by none other than Big Grin himself, joEL! His header image is a picture I took of him one of the nights we were camping out during our [...]

I’m working on my annual Gonzo Baking project today. Actually, today, I am using standard recipes; I just did a huge batch of old-school brown sugar cookies, and I am about to get on with a double-batch of gingersnaps. I did cocoa-dark-chocolate-chip cookies the other night, and a batch of fig cookies flavored [...]
