Down the YouTubes – part two

Another area of humanity that’s really letting down the side is all the hate culture on YouTube. You name a nerd culture show or franchise and YouTube has got hundreds of channels with videos to help you realize how horrible they are. Why they now suck and who ruined them and how. Let’s take anContinue reading “Down the YouTubes – part two”

Down the YouTubes – part one

When is posting up out and out BS click-bait titles for videos going to become a crime punishable by having your YouTube account taken away?  I’m a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and superhero tv shows in general. Almost every day, I see some AMAZING ANNOUNCEMENT or BREAKING NEWS or CONFIRMATION or THEContinue reading “Down the YouTubes – part one”

What SHOULD you do after hitting a homer?

In baseball, one of the big, hot button topics between old school and new era players and fans is what a guy does immediately after hitting a homer. Because what you do in those first couple seconds says plenty.  Old school dogma says don’t stand there preening like an arrogant young pup just staring atContinue reading “What SHOULD you do after hitting a homer?”

Who would YOU choose?

Say you’re marooned in some hostile environment. Perhaps an alien planet, a dangerous jungle teeming with giant carnivores or who knows what? You might face a bear, a giant spider or roving bands of thugs/revolutionaries/mutants/curious slugs. Or a Myrka! Unless you think you can face your situation alone and come out triumphant, you have oneContinue reading “Who would YOU choose?”

Crumply animals

There’s an orange tiger laying in the dining room Silent and staring at the sky There’s a curled up giraffe on the parquet floor A yellow face and winky eye Somewhere at school there’s a hidden gorilla Just waiting for the children to meet But there’s no threat and no one’s worried Because the gorillaContinue reading “Crumply animals”

That’s a No-no!

I’m writing this Sunday night, still thinking about having witnessed my first no-hitter by a Cubs pitcher in –maybe– ever. Alec Mills, a college walk-on pitcher who worked his way up through the ranks to the majors, threw a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers today. It was only the 16th no-hitter ever in Cubs history,Continue reading “That’s a No-no!”
