Well, long time, no chat. I’d apologize for not being around a whole lot over the last little while, but to be honest, I doubt any of you really missed me all that much if you missed me at all. So where have I been? Well for starters, my sleep has gone to hell in …

Wayne, I Wanna Lockjaw Those Contestants!
Fox has come up with this new Gameshow called Don’t Forget the Lyrics. The concept is a fine idea. It’s like karaoke and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire mixed together. The contestant picks a song, and the words appear on the screen, and the contestant sings along. But at some point, the band stops …

For Your Listening Pleasure
I don’t know how the site has survived for so long without getting busted for some kind of stupidity by the film industry, but hey, more power to ’em. There is a site called ListenToAMovie.com. What amazes me is that sighties actually like this site! They want to listen to movies at work and while …
It Really Is An Idiot Box, Isn’t It?
Ok, I tried to write this post four months ago, and my computer made a meal out of it. Let’s try again. Hopefully I can still make the same points just as clearly. I must be getting old because it’s getting harder to suspend disbelief and just swallow the plots of some stuff on TV. …
Why Is It…
Yes I’m stealing something from Steve, but I figured it was the only way this would work. I’ve had a lot of things make me wonder why, so here they are in no particular order. Why is it that the people in a lot of pet stores can’t even manage to have basic social skills? …
The War Of The Moral Compass And the Golden Compass
Why does this thing I read in Snopes demand to be put up? It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least, but every time the logical part of me says it doesn’t need to be talked about, another part of me screams that it does. There’s apparently a movie coming out in December called the …

>Clearing the Backblog
>Hope you folks like these random posts, because with all that time I didn’t write, I’ve created quite a, well, thought backblog. I’m sure I’ll be able to write something more focused soon. But until then, have a pile of thoughts. Remember back in another random post, I said I forgot something? Well, I remembered …
Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Make Shitty Movie
When people ask me why I never go to the movies and why I don’t care when stuff comes out on DVD, I always have a million ways to answer their questions. And as of this very moment, I now haveone more.Yes, “Monopoly: The Movie” could soon be coming to a theatre near you. FILM …
So Who’s Flinging the Bullshit?
I got an email the other day filled with rage at a couple of TV talkshow hosts. According to this email, the hosts in question were spewing hate-speech, being disrespectful and patronizing, calling people with disabilities “the handicapped,” and were making fun of every kind of disability, leaving noone untouched. They were bashing the ADA …
