THOR’S DAY RANT: It’s Effin BAD Science!

There’s this new show on the G4 channel, and I’m going to have to go all Phil Plait on it’s ass for a moment. The show is called “It’s Effin Science” and it’s been advertised very widely on my satellite service provider, Dish Network. They try and give it a Mythbusters look, with “cool”, “hip” [...]

Sorry, but I AM better than you…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,”-Declaration of Independance, Contental Congress, July 4, 1776 ” The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.” -Proverbs 26:7 So which is it? Are we all equals, or aren’t we? On the one hand, [...]

HOW MICROSOFT RUINED MY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

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 [...]

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 [...]

Susan Boyle: Fairy tales can come true...

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 [...]

Kilroy Says: Amway? No Damn-way!

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!

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

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 [...]
