The 411 From 406
From the monthly archives: March 2009
My favorite podcast, The Geek Savants recently did a show about guilty pleasure movies (I.E. bad movies that you love and will watch every time you run across them). It was a great episode and really got me to thinking about some of my favorites. That said, here’s my list!

So I’m walking to my car the other day just minding my own business. I’m listening to my headphones and happen to glance down and catch my shadow and it stops me dead in my tracks. My geek radar is going berserk and I just have to snap a pic.
Being the dork that I [...]

Once a child learns that they can get out of their crib, they will do so… 3,427 times a night. Buying a new lock for said child’s door that locks them IN the room doesn’t make you a bad dad… it helps you get some sleep. Getting the child to buy into removing the crib [...]

Beer on St. Patrick’s Day is the same beer that you get any other day of the year. It’s just green. I don’t understand why if you’re not in college you would take a day off work to drink. I guess I’m getting old. Bagpipes do NOT sound good. Sorry to say but they do [...]
Pip and I get together every year (just about) and celebrate our geekdom by watching the “Grandaddy of them all” – WrestleMania. For those of you that don’t know, this is the WWE’s flagship show and marks the end of the wrestling “season” if there was such a thing. It’s the culmination of story lines [...]
The first time I saw this film I thought it was just about the best comic book movie that had ever been made. After re-watching it it’s still pretty damn good but there are definitely some things that I’d overlooked the first time… some bad things.
It’s March which means it’s time for college basketball to really kick into gear. Unfortunately, that also means that it’s time for my ears to be filled with a bunch of screaming and yelling by “Dickie V” a.k.a. Dick Vitale. He’s got a reputation of being this basketball genius.

And They Say Downtown Cleveland Is Dead…
As I sat in my office watching the crowds on St. Patrick’s Day I learned a couple of things. In addition to those things, I was really just glad to see PEOPLE downtown again. I tell you, when the Cavs or Indians aren’t in town, there simply isn’t anyone down here anymore. It’s [...]
