On Wednesday of this past week some friends and I went to Trivia Night at my new local pub*. It was our first time and we didn’t know what to expect – we certainly didn’t expect to be one of TWENTY THREE teams competing and for the entire place to be so packed that we … Continue reading
Hillary Has Worshipers, Too Recently I received an email from a friend and Hillary Clinton supporter. This post is based on my response. Dear [], Thanks for forwarding the Robin Morgan piece. I’d already seen it. I understand it reflects a certain sentiment, one I find so at odds with rational consideration that I’m surprised … Continue reading
The film opens with Maurice Chevailer having the cuckolded walk in on him and his mistress. The woman shoots herself. The husband shoots Maurice. Having survived, Maurice summarizes that the gun is loaded with blanks. The husband, duly relieved, takes his wife in his arms and out of the room. MC tosses the gun into … Continue reading
Van Stupid. I recently finished the book Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga by Ian Christie and spent a few hours listening to all my Van Halen albums pretty much in sequence. Even the horrendous and soul-ruining Van Halen III with Gary Cherone. To answer your question: Because I Apparently Hate Me. I have … Continue reading

Sometime last year, I did a quickie thread about the below fantasy tournament after having just seen Rocky Balboa. I wanted to know who was the best ever in the entire Rocky universe. Since this is the kind of thing I would have put in a blog if I’d had a blog back then, I … Continue reading
The Juice is Played. The only time steroids and baseball should be addressed in a court of law is when a player is injured due to steroid use and has missed enough time for his team to sue him to forfeit his remaining salary as a violation of his contract. That’s forward thinking as opposed … Continue reading
This is a scattershot of brain drippings from today: I knew I reached a turning point when, getting off the plane from Salt Lake City, I thought to myself ‘Thank God I’m back in LA*.’ Sure, I was reacting to the fact that I had just left a massive blizzard that had trapped me on … Continue reading
