This post is dedicated to Mae West, whose birthday is today. Everyone knows I’m a pretty big fan of Gap clothes, the jeans in particular. But right now I have a serious nit to pick with my favorite store. Gap has just introduced women’s jeans with different “fits.” They go like this: Curvy fit — […]

There’s a potentially-nice looking building of condos going up in one of the neighborhoods that BW and I would ideally like to live in if we ever get to move out of Suburban Crack Monkey Land. They’re supposed to be open next fall. Last time we drove by, I remembered to take down the call-for-more-info […]

Stupid English people. Spielberg voted ‘best director’ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4600651.stm Just proves AGAIN that you never, Never, EVER let “the public” have any say when it comes to movies. You don’t show them ‘test screenings’, because their ignorant opinions always ruin the movie. And you NEVER let them vote in polls like that one. “The Public” wouldn’t […]

I’ll admit it, I like Prince Charles. I think he’s a very smart guy who is always getting screwed by the vicious and airheaded public. In the Charles vs. Princess Died media wars, I was always firmly in Charles’ camp. I was so excited about his and Camilla’s upcoming wedding. But now….ugh…now I think he […]

Want proof that the demise of Western Civilization is not only at hand, but well underway? Flip channels during daytime TV! Yesterday at around 11:35 am I saw an ad for a product so stupefyingly…well, STUPID…it made me question the meaning of life! It was this: a toothbrush sanitizer!! WTF?? Surely, the end is nigh. […]

I don’t know why it is that January always seems like the most miserable month of the year. Perhaps it’s because everyone touts the month as a time for new beginnings, but, inevitably, everything stays the same. Regardless, for me it is the time of year to sit back and take stock of how much […]

Here for no apparent reason, I give you a movie rant. Not long ago, Boy Wonder and I watched The Terminal, a flick I’d kinda-sorta wanted to see for a while, and then I learned that cutie Diego was in it, so I wanted to see it more. It was a decent movie, somewhat funny, […]

If there are any foreigners out there reading this, allow me to set the stage a bit. I live in Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania is a very large state. It’s very wide, such that it takes about 7 hours to drive from one end to the other. There are plenty of European countries that are smaller! […]

…by breeders. Literally! You all know that in the house to the left of mine dwells the Crack Monkey, one special child who is the equivalent of about 5 or 6 regular annoying children. Well, now I have reason to believe that my neighbors on the right-hand side, Frat Boy and Trixie, are also gonna […]

They say you should never talk about religion or politics in mixed company. I’d like to add a third topic: Food. Seems like no one can talk about food without being insufferably rude. Here’s some guidepoints for the ettique-challenged.

I do, I do! NOT! Welcome to another summer season in beautiful malarial Pittsburgh. It has rained every day for the past 6 days, we’re at about 85 degrees, and I’d guess 250% humidity. The ground is so full of water it resembles a swamp, and the air is full of nasty stinging insects that […]

Now I remember why I never watch TV except for old movies and the Donal show. Last night, Boy Wonder and I sat down to watch a special about Troy (the quasi-historical place, not the movie) on the Discovery Channel. Granted, my main reason for watching was because they promised sneak peeks of Troy, the […]
