Thanks to guest writer, @crosberg for this post! Slappy and I, unfortunately, were just not quite geeky enough to get the job done. Take it away, @crosberg…
Today was a day of true sadness in the nerd world, as millions (probably more like a few dozen forty-year old guys in their mom’s basements) [...]

“Celebrity” Apprentice cast announced… Tom Green (it’s okay for him to hump a dead moose); a Deal or No Deal model; “T-Boz” from TLC; Andrew Dice Clay (Oohhhh!); Scott Hamilton; Dennis Rodman, and 10 others.  I won’t be tuning in.

You know when you go to that B & B (or your parents’ guest room) and [...]

If you haven’t heard about this, you must watch the following video.  It’s Ringo Starr bizarrely telling his fans that he will no longer accept any fan mail — it’s the “Peace and Loves” he peppers in that make it truly classic.
The KOAM Howard Stern has played the audio portion of this many times.
Check the [...]

I took these 2 pics myself
Check the combo of the plate, the tire holder cover, and the van … just perfect:

The second is a Historic Motor Vehicle … well, it is Kentucky …

Hells yeah.  Fleetwood Mac? Recently featured in this very space?  Has packed up their collective sorrows, buried the hatchets (at least in a shallow grave) and will be on the road again, coming (if you’re lucky) to a town near you.
They are hitting my town, reportedly, for $175 a pop.  Sigh.  These old bastards charge [...]

Fun fact: both Slappy and I lived, at one point or another, in Cincinnati, Ohio.  (Fun fact II: we both moved away).  Cincinnati is known as the “Queen City.”  Home to its own kind of chili, flying pigs, decent beer, and a bitchin’ late-90s karaoke scene.  Also the town to which Mark Twain reportedly said [...]

It was just, you know, Thanksgiving weekend, so Mr. and Mrs. Glib Senior were in town from the city that rocks, the birthplace of rock and roll, the mistake by the lake, Cleveland, OH. In honor of their arrival, I made a “Safe for the Parents” mix on my iPod, complete with classic rock, adult-friendly [...]

This weekend I was at Mr. Glib’s cousin’s wedding.  Nice family, happy bride and groom, good food and decent drinks.  The DJ, as is the case with 95% of wedding DJs, left much to be desired.  He insisted on a play-by-play, Seacrest-style, for much of the evening.  Strike One.  He played “Cha Cha Slide.”  Strike [...]

Guys, in the Muppetverse that includes both Sesame Street and, of course, The Muppet Show, there are some stand-out stars, Kermit, Ernie, Grover, and Elmo being among them.  But there are also some hidden gems, some super supporting characters, and some folks that are long gone (but not, I dare say, forgotten).  Here are ten [...]

According to the new Playboy magazine (one of the greatest magazines of all time, from an upcoming article i will write),  the Highest Chart Position for any James Bond Movie Theme Song belongs to ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
D - Squared!

1.  “A View to a Kill” - Duran Duran - #1 (highest chart position)
2a.  “Live & Let Die” - [...]

Gotta love technology! Recent research shows that many people over the age of 55 dream in black and white because they grew up watching black and white television sets as children. To put it simply, black and white televisions have affected the brains of the +55 crowd when they were about 3-10 years old, causing [...]

Since Lucy and myself are both erstwhile Cubs fans (both of us having lived at one time or another in the balmy weather of Chi-Town), I wanted to mourn the demise of YET ANOTHER season of hopes dashed.  1908 and counting … now that’s a curse. 
1929 Wrigley Fans

A Cubs Fan and a Bud [...]

Now I am certainly NOT a big Dancing With The Stars fan.  I catch maybe 5 minutes of it here and there before I’m basically bored and/or disgusted.
But this season’s cast is interesting.  I first noticed Cloris Leachman at 82 years old and Susan Lucci, who both looked absolutely fabulous for their age, while watching [...]

This is based on personal experience, and concerns some common differences between women in their 20s and in their 30s … based on this moment in time.  Obviously this is about generalities and every individual is different.
In my view, most of this stems from a “generational” difference between those who grew up in the 80s/early [...]

RUSH - “But Neil Peart is the greatest drummer ever, man.”

IRON MAIDEN (maybe in 1985, but not now)

COLDPLAY – the sad thing here is that guys think that liking Coldplay will get them laid, or get a Gwyneth Paltrow type … more like a “friend zone” can’t close the deal type

PHISH – Unless you have [...]

God I love these … I go all the way back to the Wacky Packs as a kid.  They were funny stickers that parodied famous brands/products of the day.  You can buy the original artwork from Topps & Co., although the price has gone up for them in recent years.

Then the next generation had the [...]

Into every generation, a slayer is born.  Also?  A teen-pop renaissance.  Every girl needs the option of obsessing about something completely unattainable in their teen years.  Follow the bouncing ball.
In the late 1970s, the Bay City Rollers, David Cassidy, and Leif Garrett ruled.

The late 1980s (specifically 1988 and beyond) brought us the New Kids on [...]

Billboard, which has tracked the American Top-40 charts since the dawn of time (or 1955) has produced its list of the biggest chart hits of the past 53 years.

Topping the chart of charts?  Chubby Checker’s “The Twist.”  Come on, baby! Believe it!  It had two separate runs on the charts, in 1960 and 1962.
Here’s the [...]

I love funny Ven (Venn?) diagrams, flowcharts, etc.
Send in any of your favs.

I’ve been mocking Sarah Palin and her family quite a bit on here lately, so I thought I would poke a little bit at Joe Biden’s Hair to balance things out.  If you examine the following photograph:

This is from the late-1970s and he has less hair than he has today!
But I actually do really like [...]
