These include but are not limited to the following (that was for my attorneys) Krusty Brand Non-Toxic Kologne Krusty Brand Sulfuric Acid Krusty Brand Hand Guns Krusty Brand Lady Krusty Mustache Remover System Krusty Brand Home Pregnancy Test Krusty… Read more →

Handstamp Songs for Halloween
Sara Cress of the Chronicle music blog, Handstamp, sent out requests yesterday for songs that you think of when you think of Halloween and I responded, being the nerd that I am. She ran it today in her Halloween blog post. Here was my response if you, like me, are often too lazy to click the link: For me, there… Read more →
It’s The Mostest Scariestest Timest of the Yearest
Well, it’s the holiday season again. Today is Halloween after all, so it is fitting that I terrify you beyond the ability for rational thought. No, this isn’t a review of Saw III or some crazy story about how hot porn ghosts have their way with you on Halloween night if you’ve been naughty rather than nice (that actually happens,… Read more →
Will the Pink Flamingo Make it to 50?
The plastic, pink flamingo. Where would we be without cheesy lawn art built almost exclusively for Floridians and practical jokers? Lost, I tell you, LOST! Unfortunately, it looks like that could happen now that the plant that manufactures them is closing!!! NO!!! Union Products Inc. stopped producing flamingos and other lawn ornaments at its Leominster factory in June, and is… Read more →

Actually, they don’t call them that in Germany and Nemcova is probably from Russia or some eastern block country where they grow attractive women on hot girl farms and sell them to rich Americans who can’t get American… Read more →
Four DVR’s, No Waiting
The Chronicle columnist David Baron writes a Four VCR’s, No Waiting portion of his sports media column, so this seemed appropriate. One of the blogs I read regularly is Cybertoad’s and she posted her Tivo Season Pass today documenting the shows she and her husband record all season long. Sounded like a good idea to me, so here goes: The… Read more →

Start of the New TV Season
I mentioned previously that I’d be tuning in to some new shows this fall. The new season is basically off and running with this week starting tha avalanche of new seasons and new shows. I’m already hooked on Fox’s Vanished. It moves fast and has the same rapid-fire, made-for-ADD-sufferers style of shows like 24. I wonder how long they can… Read more →
Who Else Has a Magazine?
I headed over to Kroger the other day to pick up groceries snacks the new NBA preview magazines. Oh, yes, it is that time of year again. Street & Smith, Sporting News and Athalon all have their previews on the shelves. Sports Illustrated and Lindy’s are still on the way. Woot! Anyway, while I was parusing at the magazines and… Read more →
