  • Who in Wasilla knows me by name?

    Who in Wasilla knows me by name?

    Wasilla? I check my stats once a month since no one visits my blog/website. No one visits the website for my “Unending Wonders of a Subatomic World” book so any activity stands out. So, was wandering through the stats which only hold the last 100 entries and there on July 22nd was someone from Wasilla,…

  • Unidentified Bug

    Opened the door to the back room and there was this BUG, some weird big thing, I couldn’t tell what it was, scurried behind something and I yelled and closed the door, I didn’t want to stomp on it with bare feet as I didn’t know what it was, then I opened up the door…

  • Sofa Pillows

    When are sofa pillows too flat and look sad instead of perky happy? Does it matter? Our sofa pillow covers have zippers because I’m practical that way. When they get flat I can easily replace the stuffing. I can’t rub the front and back fabric together so I guess I’m good. But when you can,…

  • His Own Person

    First words out of H.o.p. this morning, “Well, y’know people have their own opinions and I’m my own person…” which means he’s about to ask for something which I’ve told him already was not a good idea.

  • Our apartment building would collapse on sight just out of fear

    This beast is freakin’ huge. Must be a hallucinatory experience driving down the road and happening on this thing, especially if you don’t know it exists. That saw! How big is it?! It could probably slice our apartment building in half. We Aren’t Seeing Transformers if This Thing’s Not in it Link to Gawker

  • As if his voice isn’t distinctive enough

    Bob Dylan was taken into custody on suspicion of not being really Bob Dylan (he doesn’t look like he did years ago) but instead some old guy just saying he’s Bob Dylan, looking at a house for sale. He requested to be driven over to the hotel/tour buses, an id was made by his manager…

  • Aquarium Trauma

    Major tank die off of fish and we don’t know why. Water’s right and the temp is right. The fish don’t even look sick until they suddenly stop and die. Nothing weird looking about them. No discolorations. No swellings. No rot. This began a week ago and has hit critical mass today. We’ve not a…

  • Les Paul

    Les Paul has died. 94 is a nice long life…I’m still sorry to see him go. Story at Huffington Post Note the Chihuahua in the background trying to sleep on the lounge chair. Out of a documentary. And this is funny. And fun. Les Paul’s death and looking at the old Les Paul and Mary…

  • Leigh Bowery Costumes

    Fantastic, exciting stuff. In my opinion, can’t use too many superlatives for this. SFV trailer for the documentary, “The Legend of Leigh Bowery”. Below is a photo of Leigh Bowery outside his flat in 1993. Reminds me of the 2002 Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”. Link

  • Some of H.o.p.’s Sculptures

    H.o.p. is expressing an interest in his blog again. We’ve been putting his creations up there but I thought I’d post several pics here today. Ultra Metal Sonic Nack the Weasel The Dark Dragon It was impossible to get a good angle on the Dark Dragon, which was too bad as it’s fun with lots…

  • “I don’t think I could do it on the street”

    Love the guy doing a standing side stretch amongst bikes. Best line, “I don’t know, I don’t think I could do it on the street.”

  • A H.o.p. Idea

    Monty Basilisk Flying Death Circus. (A H.o.p. idea, when we were reading about the legendary basilisk. I was amused.)
