Don't forget the 80s GI Joe cartoon where everyone used laser guns, even though the figures had real world guns. Still nobody could hit the broadside of a barn.
That Panic at the Disco song, "I...
Yes. I don't buy that many so what I have I tend to reread. Now it may take months and months to get back to something but I do it. Every October I try to read horror themed comics so I have read...
New Year's Evil (1980)
Terrible in a hilarious way. Early 80s slasher that involves "punk rock," weird family psychosis, blood, "twist" ending, you know the drill.
They openly show the killer's...
It's a city of over 6 million people and really nowhere else in Texas for that many people to go. The highways out of town are not that great, which I know from growing up there. Evacuations during...
Old 97s (w/Brandi Carlile) "Good with God"
Classic Looney Tunes are hard to beat. Especially the older ones. But I watch cartoons with my kids still and there are plenty of good ones coming out today- Phineas and Ferb, Steven Universe, Teen...
"Asked if this was fair, Christie said: “Run for governor, and you can have a residence there.”
"I got mine. Screw you." At least Christie was honest about it. I am still surprised he isn't...
Wait, Disney made this movie:

And now we find out that there are a bunch of kids on Mars! Whoa. Layers within layers...

Well, ol' Rand-I-poo himself warned earlier this year that repeal without replacement...
Last "national" act- The Legendary Shack Shakers last year
Last night I saw local Austin honky-tonk staple Alvin Crow for the third time in a year
It may have been mentioned, but here in TX a guy has a bill to get rid of licensing for OPEN carry. Yeesh.
Maybe it's because of where I live but in the year or two of open carry thus far, I have...
That's it. You're banned!
I have no idea. At least some of the people I have seen appear to be fairly strict biblical literalist-creationists. I don't know if the Bible cares at all if the earth were round or flat, but that...
Layers within layers, man...
Has-been rapper B.O.B. was talking about it last year. Then I think Tila Tequila said she believes but she has done a lot of crazy crap. Now Shaquille O'Neal has reportedly said he agrees it is flat...
I didn't know Russell (Hank) Hornsby was in that "Fences" movie. I happened to tune in the Oscars when Viola Davis was making her speech and the camera caught him in the audience. Good for him. I...
-Sturgill Simpson's Grammy nomination was well deserved. He harkens back to the Outlaw Country days but without being a throwback. All three of his records are excellent.
-Dwight Yoakum has been...
I remember "Walk the Line" was ok as a soundtrack, although I'd still just as soon play the original versions by Johnny Cash et al.
Renard wouldn't want to get his own hands dirty with killing the guy. Besides, leaving him alive but utterly defeated would still send a pretty clear message to Black Claw.
I don't want Rick to lose his hand because I've always hated that part of the book, for reasons I'm not really sure why. But that actually be an original way for the show to introduce it and do it....
25 was a pretty good year for me, but then I turned 26 and it was all over, even though I tried to hang on to 25 just a bit longer and frankly came off looking pretty silly.
But then, the last...
The last couple of months, eBay and Amazon have acquired a lot of my money buying either newish stuff or replacing stuff I had as a kid.
No photos but recent purchases include:
1. 80s Secret...
I couldn't drive stick until I bought my first car as an adult. Then I had to learn right away to drive it. I was somehow convinced at the time that I just HAD to drive stick. Anyway, I had that car...
I've been dipping my toes into horror manga lately. The aforementioned "Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service" adds a lot of comedy to the horror mix.
I've read most of Junji Ito's work and it's...
