I always like a project. Just that kind of guy I guess. So, here is the idea behind my latest undertaking…
If you read the post, then you know I have an old 1970’s Ludwig four-piece kit which I re-wrapped in silver sparkle. I love the kit. It looks and sounds great. The kick, tom and [...]

Plot:
Turbulence hits the helicopter (with Sayid, Desmond and Frank) and we’re back with Desmond in his Royal Scots boot camp. And back again in the present where Desmond seems like he wants to jump out of the helicopter and doesn’t recognize anyone he’s with. Uh-Oh.
On the beach, Jack and Juliet are with Daniel and Charlotte. [...]

It’s like the Olympics of holidays!
(That is, back when all the Olympics were held in a year and they actually occurred once every four years but, well, you get the gist).
In the English speaking world, on a leap day it was permitted for women to propose marriage to men.
Supposedly there was a 1288 law that required [...]

Since I graduated from Michigan State University back in 1990, I’ve not really considered additional education or advanced degrees. First off, how much smarter can I get? I may have peaked around my sophomore year. But also, I have never been interested. Simply put, not in to it. Until now!
Yep, I’m going to go back to school.

In some sort of brilliant marketing idea, two head writers for CBS shows are switching roles and writing for the others’ show. Sounds kinda neat, right?
Some opportunities to open up creatively. Stretch your legs, get out of your rut. But the two shows?
CSI and Two and a Half Men. Huh? Those two shows couldn’t be [...]

Who doesn’t want to look good and loose weight?
The theory behind these is solid. For years wrestlers and boxers have run around in garbage bags trying to loose a little extra to make weight, so the sweat out pounds while your body is encased in plastic, is not breaking any new ground. But these do certainly [...]

“People don’t think I’m smart when they meet me. So then when they find out I’m smart, they’re kind of intimidated. Cause I’ll blow you away with my looks and then turn around and blow you away with my brains.” So, she’s gonna blow you a couple of different ways. (Spoiler: She’s not actually too [...]

A freshly washed car.
You forget what a difference it makes. It looks all shiny and brand spankin’ again!
All of a sudden you’re a spoiled princess.
(PS - Raleigh, you probably don’t remember this feeling. That’s okay, I’m sure you will be allowed to wash cars and/or bathe in the next couple of years).

His Little Majesty (At 5′4″ Madison was the shortest president)

On the Jimmy Kimmel show following the Oscars, Jimmy answered the Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon video with a little video of his own with…Ben Affleck, of course!
The only startling thing about this video is who Jimmy got to be in it. Some of these people probably haven’t even been on his show! But we have Brad [...]

It’s a bit late (although Washington’s birthday is Feb 22) but, with Presidents Day still fresh in your mind, and our on-going series of “Man, I-Don’t-Know-My-Presidents Monday,” we thought we’d like to make sure you were aware of the tall tale, historically non-accurate cartoons of Brad Neely.

Am I the only one who’s not going to be surprised if someone on the Freighter is named Nikki Tesla at this point? Or if we have some grand allusions to the Philadelphia Experiment (wherein it’s supposedly possibly to bend light around an object making it unobservable to the naked eye)?
