  • Phenomenal virtual tour of microcars

    Wow. There’s a microcar museum in Madison Georgia and it has an incredible website. Check it out. The museum is open Tuesdays through Thursdays, 1 to 4 pm but is closed through June and July (noting this for myself as I’m thinking it would be a cool place to visit). But…the website is open 24…

  • Who's buying all those ugly Honda Elements? Musicians.

  • If you’re feeling whimsical, Tubby the Tuba

    Audio link is gone so am placing the Pal instead, now online. We used to have a trash copy of Pal’s Tubby I was able to tape off some program years ago, but can’t find it anymore. I went looking online today as H.o.p. was asking about it and found the audio, which H.o.p. also…

  • The apartment above us doesn’t like anyone to pay rent for it or live there very long

    When you hear lots of scraping on the floor above in the middle of the night, if you live in an apartment building you may suddenly become an heir to plants left behind by neighbors who are slipping away without paying their rent. The first time we ended up with a concrete lawn bunny and…

  • Godzilla in Fisher Price Land, Episode 12

    The story thus far is, “Godzilla has been terrorizing the inhabitants of Fisher Price Land!” We are very near the end when this poignant moment occurs. At least I see it as poignant. H.o.p. is well on his way to getting down pat the art of the Youtube Wasteland Flick. We are on the tag…

  • The road to illumination is filled with potholes

    H.o.p. (batting at an old earring I’d pulled out and worn today): What’s that? Me: It’s a building. H.o.p.: No, it’s not. Me: We were driving along, I saw it on the horizon, thought what a great building, plucked it and put it on my ear. H.o.p.: I’ts not a building. Me: Sure it is.…
