Facebook. It’s a social networking site. I’m not going to bother explaining it any further than that cause if you don’t know what it is, you probably won’t be able to understand the explanation. I’ve talked many times about Facebook. I’ve said some good things. I’ve said some bad things. I’ve wondered how they do some of the things that they do. Today I’m back with a couple of Facebook pet peeves. If you’re a blind defender of all things Facebook then you should probably just move on… this one could get ugly.
“Liking” Your Own Posts
STOP THAT. It… Continue reading
I’ll warn you in advance… I have a feeling this is going to turn into a bit of a rant. I have a feeling that I may insult a few folks and for that I apologize, but quite frankly I’m at the end of my rope. Don’t say I didn’t give you a head’s up.
My respect for George Lucas is officially gone. The man that created what I consider to be the greatest series of films ever has finally gone too far. There was a day long ago where the idea of sitting down with the bearded and plaid… Continue reading
I recently posted this picture to my Facebook page. Now I know that Crocs aren’t “cool” by any stretch of the imagination, but I have to say I was a little bit shocked at just how much people hate these shoes.
That's right... I'm wearing my Crocs to the Home Depot. I am dad... Hear me roar.
Interested in the responses? Here they are (some of them had me rolling)…
- not cool..lmao!
- Yuck
- Lowes is much better
- you shouldn’t be wearing those unless you’re mario batali or 6.
- -5 cool points
- I see no problem with this…
- Fressssssshhhh!
- Do they… Continue reading
In a previous post I talked about how I’d recently gone through some boxes in the basement and pulled out some old toys, specifically my Devastator from back in the day. That lead to a discussion on one of my favorite podcast’s Facebook page about our collections, etc. I took this quick video to show a couple of my items and thought I’d share it here as well.
It focuses on figures from the first 4 waves of the current G.I. Joe line called Pursuit of Cobra and also includes Voltron, Star Wars and Transformers toys. What’s in your collection?
As you know if you read more than a post or two here, I’m a geek. I’m a child stuck in a (fat) man’s body that simply refuses to grow up. As I’m the father of two and (more importantly in this case) husband to one I have but one room left in the house that I can call mine…the basement. As the kids get bigger (and require more room to run and store THEIR shit) I’m losing my man cave (or at least parts of it).
So… to that end, I’ve been cleaning up the basement, organizing, throwing away,… Continue reading
These types of lists typically come out at the beginning of the year. I’m all for giving convention the middle finger so I’m doing it in the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Got a problem with that? Part of why I keep this blog is as some sort of “outlet” for my creative juices. Another is that in this day and age this is about the only “cool” way for a guy to keep a diary. I go back and often and read stuff that I’ve written in the past so these types of lists I get a real… Continue reading
The wife looked at me today and made the following statement:
“The boys are neanderthals because they’re learning from their blockhead father.”
While I certainly don’t mind the personal comparisons to Charlie Brown, I thought that was a wee bit harsh on G & C so I decided to investigate what would bring their mother to speak so ill of them.
If you’ve ever read this blog, you know by now that I’m a bit of a wrestling geek. I don’t apologize for it… it’s been part of who I am for the better part of 3 decades now. Also,… Continue reading
I realized this evening that there was something missing from the 406 site… 2010 Beeramid pictures! I simply cannot believe that I let this slip. I mean come on Chewie, you can’t post the recap and then NOT post the pics right???
I dug through my emails from Pip and my files on the hard drive and managed to find them. I don’t have time to crop and post them all tonight, but I figured I’d give just a little taste of what you can expect once they’ve been posted (will probably be early next week).
As you can see,… Continue reading
Don’t worry… this post contains no spoilers. I couldn’t spoil you if I wanted to.
The series finale of ABC’s Lost airs on Sunday evening and so (hopefully) does my confusion. I consider myself a Lost fan for sure, but I’m not a Lost geek. The distinction is minor, but one that’s important to make between fans. As an example, I have no problem sitting in a bar talking theories with my buddy Pat about who did what or what’s going to happen and I do listen to the Official Lost Podcast as well as The Lost Podcast With Jay… Continue reading
Thank You SPIKE – You Brought Me Back
I’ve been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up with the original trilogy to this day those movies have shaped my geekdom in many ways. The prequel movies came out and like just about every other Star Wars fan I was ecstatic to once again see this universe on the big screen.
I’ve written in the past about how based on those prequel movies I’m done defending George Lucas’ movies. I’ve also talked about how I’m rather on the bitter side that my childhood is being raped by all of these remakes… Continue reading →
