The Chasers and the Chaste

A Seasonally Appropriate Song…

Not Sure I Trust This.

QotD: Dennis Miller Edition
Dennis Miller has been one of my favorite stand-up comics for a long time, not least because he could never be accused of dumbing his work down. Granted, sometimes the cascade of subreferences can get a little wearying, but he’s … Continue reading

Sic Transit Gloria Indy
When I was a kid in the 70s, all I knew about auto racing was what I had gleaned from the Speed Racer show and ads in comic books for slot car tracks, Hot Wheels, and Johnny Lightning. What I … Continue reading

THE CEILING IS MELTINNNNNG!
I’ve been on a bit of an acid-rock kick this week. The Spawn and I were listening to this one as I took her to school this morning, and as we drove, she slipped on a note-perfect stoner hippie chick … Continue reading
