Oh man, I have brainmeats problems. A month or so ago I read an article online where this guy decided to try recipes or foodstuffs mentioned in The Simpsons. I laughed myself silly, as you do.

As I mentioned yesterday, I had a grand night out on Saturday, and among the diverting and pleasant facets of the night, I met a lutenist (I restrained myself from making terrible puns along the lines of “luter/looter” because I can be mature/not-a-complete-asshole, with some amount of effort). Yon fellow is a great devotee of […]

As a pet-owner, I have many nicknames for my pets, individually and collectively. I figured what the heck, I might as well highlight a bit of the silliness that is my life with critters. This one is Minnie Pearl. Mostly known as Minnie, but also as “dammit, kitty,” “kittygirl” “Little Miss” “Pesty-pest,” “small-cat,” “dumbass,” “Satan,” […]

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 my mind. Back in […]
