Diary of a Supervillain
It’s not often that I receive one of those chain emails that are worth passing along, but this one definitely qualifies. Enjoy!
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the [...]
I’m ripping more CDs from my collection today, and I stumbled across a band I haven’t thought of in a while: Living Colour. I remember they were huge for a while, and their performance of “Cult of Personality” on SNL kicked all form of ass.
Then I remembered this little number:
I always dug that song and [...]
Who would have thought the Swedish Chef retired from the muppet show and went into metal?
Wait for the lyrics. You’ll hear it.
I first heard this on Sirius. I kind of dig the song, to be honest, but man, I can’t shake the image of the Swedish Chef jamming out on stage.
When I was a kid, I thought The Octagon was one of the coolest ninja movies ever. Thanks to AMC, watching it again after a good two decades has re-educated me about ninjas. Here are some of the highlights:
Ninjas have nothing better to do than shanghai a bunch of mopes and forcibly train them to [...]
When you hear the word nurse, what do you think of?
If you’re a guy — or, at least, me — this won’t be far off the mark:
Sadly, the reality is a lot more like this:
How did the medical industry get it so wrong?
Or is it the porn industry that got it wrong…
Either way, it’s a [...]
I installed two mobile WordPress plugins on my site, one to format this page for mobile surfers and the other to let me blog from my new CrackBerry Curve. I’m testing the latter with this post.
It occurred to me I could make the much-maligned Twitter tweets from the crapper, but it further occurred to me [...]
I’ve always been of the opinion it’s hard to screw up spaghetti. You boil up some noodles, heat up some sauce, maybe serve it up with garlic bread, and you’re good to go. The sauce is the key ingredient of course, making or breaking the whole mix, but in general, there’s nothing to it. It’s [...]
Wizard World starts today. I most likely will not have email or Internet access through the con, but I will be able to post Twitter updates from my cell phone. Because I’d like to give you all a flavor of what I’m up to this weekend, I’ve activated the blog post digests of my Twitter [...]

I play poker about once a month or so with some co-workers and some guys around town, and my luck has been crap for months. The last few rounds, though, have been more of a roller coaster.
In this pic, I’m sitting on about $83, double the $40 I’d bought in so far. [...]
I’ve become addicted to The Ultimate Fighter. I can’t stand most reality shows, but this one’s pretty simple: get a bunch of thugs together in one house, watch them screw with one another, then watch them vent their frustrations in the ring. No getting voted off islands, no silly games for immunity, no ridiculous challenges, [...]
