HOW MICROSOFT RUINED MY FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND
I’m not a lucky guy. It’s a fact I have come to grudgingly accept. I like to console myself by thinking that statistically speaking, there have to be people like me, with a constant run of minor, annoying bad luck, just like there have to be people with constant good luck.
Take for example, my Xbox [...]
WEEKEND MOVIE REVIEW: STAR TREK
Star Trek is back, and I am thrilled.
I give this movie two super-deformed, allergic-reaction- swollen thumbs up (that’s a spoiler by the way). I can’t wait for the DVD and look forward to a whole series of new movies.
I grew up on Star Trek. My grandpa and I used to watch it back when it [...]
Susan Boyle: Fairy tales can come true…
Sometimes, the unexpected happens. And often, when it does, it touches many people.
That is what happened to Susan Boyle in the U.K. when she auditioned for “Britain’s Got Talent” (the British version of America’s Got Talent). So many times we see “pretty” or “handsome” folks get the nod, as the average Joe (or Joann in [...]
Kilroy Says: Amway? No Damn-way!
What in the wide, wide world of sports is a “Ponzi scheme”? I’m glad you asked. No, Ponzi is not that cool guy from Happy Days. But, he is a greasy-haired goombah. He made millions off of ignorant folks with his infamous pyramid scheme in 1920, where he promised ridiculous returns by “supposedly” buying foreign [...]
THOR’s Day Rant: HOLD THE SALAD!
It started out as one of those really bad Mondays. The kind where you oversleep, the kids have some crisis, and you are out of sync the rest of the day. And it keeps getting worse. By dinner time, I was in a pretty foul mood. I decided to splurge and just get dinner out. [...]

Biggest disappointments in action movies for 2008
Actually, this is just the conclusion of the caveman year end (AKA Rear End) movie reviews. This year we manly types didn’t have much to choose from in some of our favorite franchises.
In my last review I named this year’s Incredible Hulk as topping my list of disappointing movies. Coming in at number two on [...]
Year end reviews: The Incredible Hulk
Well, it’s that time of year again, when I dust off my keyboard and hand out the middle aged, caveman year end movie reviews for alleged blockbusters. This year’s manly movies should’ve been named Rear End Reviews due to just how disappointing the offerings were.
In case you’re new to the caveman, manly movie year end [...]
Where have all the real men gone?
I’m feeling a little lonely here. Like I’m the last real Man in America.
I’m talking about the e-Volve Gadget Shoulder Holster I just read about. It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. Or maybe wrapped it in sissified, purse-ified comfort.
The Gadget Shoulder Holster, or “dork purse” as I’ll call it, vaguely looks like some [...]
And I thought the original was bad…
Russians playing Sweet Home Alabama??? Sorry…it’s even worse than that. Another “must be both seen and heard to be believed.” The guys over at To The Point News where my old friend T.P. picked this up, recommend having a Stoli prepared when you fire this video up. I’m not into the hard stuff anymore. I’m [...]
