Or Wii ... yeah, I broke down and bought one. The WSPA and I just went bowling. Two games. I got trounced both times, first by WSPA-3, then WSPA-2. WSPA-1 played it mostly for laughs.

So, who has a Wii, and who can recommend something fun for me to play on my own?

I love failblog.org

Of my father's war time cartoons

I went to the open mike

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:06:27 GMT

It was a Christmas theme, so I learned a couple of Christmas Songs, and something WILDLY not Christmas, mostly because there was someone in the audience who I wanted to hear it.

Christmas At Ground Zero - Weird Al
Last Ride - Toyboat
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - Elmo and Patsy

I was pretty bad ... my lack of solo time onstage really showed. I need to get back up there more

I'm a major Mott The Hoople fan, I wish I could have gone to one of the reunion shows, but just couldn't manage the money ... still, it's good to have a translation of one of their greatest songs

A bit of fun

IMDB had a link out to this ... Things From Your Childhood That Don’t Need A Movie

That got me thinking. Come up with a title and a tag line for something that really doesn't need to have a movie made about it ... mine ...

Just when you thought it was safe to fall down the stairs

This movie is not yet rated

Don't try this at home

I remember a guitar magazine I used to read had tab for this song. In big bold letters at the top of the page it said, more or less, this is just to show how he does it, mostly likely you will not be able to play this ... most likely no one else can (although I'd like to see Joe Giacoio give it a try).

I've become a big fan of the Big Bang Theory. So I have a question for all of my geek family out there, of the characters in the show, which have you known, and which have you been?

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame - 2010

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:38:48 GMT

ABBA, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, the Hollies and the Stooges ... Discuss. My comments in the comments

Now that's a show

The English Beat and Fishbone ... the night before Marscon ...

I am SO there.

Hmmm

imwalrus just sent me email with a question ... I thought I would toss it out here (and FB) for folks to play with

What is your favorite non-traditional Christmas song?

Mine is easy, Christmas At Ground Zero - Weird Al Yankovic.

Questions?

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:39:37 GMT

What is your favorite big monster movie?

Mine is easy, the original King Kong. Some of the acting is questionable (Kong, an animated character, may be a better actor than Bruce Cabot) but the story holds up, and there has never been a sexier female lead in a monster movie than Fay Wray.

I do so love the sound of my own typing

What is a movie that you dearly loved, and that you watched again and that just doesn't hold up now?

Some of the 80s horror stuff just doesn't hold up, particularly The Lost Boys and An American Werewolf In London. I watched both of those not too long ago, and they're a bore now.

Zombieland

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:09:15 GMT

It was in the cheap theater this weekend ... I went to see it ...
I have not laughed so hard in ages. Sheer stoopid brilliance. It's gross, offensive, touching and very very funny.

Edit: This movie is required watching for all seanan_mcguires out there

Thanksgiving

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:21:05 GMT

Some years ago I saw a very special Thanksgiving greeting from the lovely Jaye P. Morgan on the Gong Show. I pass this greeting on every year. On this day of Thanksgiving, may you learn everything you wish to know about stuffing.

I like this user pic

I made this from a picture at oddlyspecific.com.

Thanks to dek9 for the link

Now for the tricky part of sunday evening

Working out what movie to watch.

coat_of_brown touched on this earlier today. This is kinda my variant.

What is your favorite "they didn't do their research did they" moment in movies or TV?

Mine, I think it has to be the episode of the X-Files (which I am too lazy to go look up at the moment, but I think it's in season 1) that happens, partly, around Lake Okoboji in NW Iowa.

I personally was not aware that there were lovely mountains in NW Iowa.

More stuff meant to avoid actually writing anything

IYNSHO, what is the greatest concept album? And what is the concept?

I will have to say that The Kinks wonderful snapshot of British life, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) is my favorite, although this could change with my mood in a moment.

If there is any lingering doubt ...

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:34:12 GMT

... that I am a geek, I now dispel it.

I present to you the

Target does nifty things like this, and it was only a few bucks more than the basic one.

So ...

What is your favorite guilty pleasure movie? A movie that makes your friends question your sanity. (Or, if you have as cool of friends as I do go "yeah, isn't it terrible? Let's watch it again")

For me it's Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. Really, it's serious cheese. One of my favorite things is trying to work out who is taking it seriously and who isn't. It's a killer cast, Molly Ringwald as an alien planet valley girl, really, she's deeply funny, Ernie Hudson walking through the same part that he seemed to play in every 80s movie he was in and Michael Ironside as the heavily made up villain, having more fun than the rest of the cast put together.

If you want to come over to my place, I'll make the popcorn and throw it up on the big screen.

I will try to get some travel reports written in the next day or so, but we'll see how that goes.

For the moment, it was a great weekend, it's been a great 7 weeks of this craziness. It's good to be home.
