Unloading groceries the other day and what emerged from one of the bags but a moderately sized tub of Pub Cheese. You’re probably wondering whether this is a non issue or to get extremely excited. I agree, let’s get excited.  I mean… Pub Cheese. That dazzling, zingy orange cheese paste that insinuates… something.  I honestlyContinue reading “Pub Cheese”

Tom Baker’s  is the most popular Doctor in the show’s history and the longest running, including the finest set of stories ever under producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor/writer Robert Holmes. There are recommendations. *Note: Unlike his predecessors, the fourth Doctor didn’t stick with any steady theme. He ventured into present day adventures with UNIT,Continue reading “Doctor Who Recommendations- The Tom Baker era”

British fans, please put the sharp instruments, torches and brass knuckles down and hear me out.  I just want to clarify up front I don’t really want this and historically, it’s just a bad idea when we try to adapt a Brit show, just like it’s usually a mistake when Brits try and adapt ours. Continue reading “The American Version of Doctor Who”

Time has passed. So much in fact, that some may not be aware of what they missed when it comes to excellent animation. So here’s the scoop: The ’70’s and ’80’s were 63 layers of garbage when it came to cartoons and live action stuff for superheroes on tv. Let’s leave it at that forContinue reading “The Bruce Timm Animation Family part 1”

Months before we left for Italy, I wanted to try and learn some of the language, so as to *not* be considered an ugly American and actually make an effort. When in Rome! Weeee! So, I bought an Italian phrase book, which imparted roughly 75 to 100 words that are tailor made to assist youContinue reading “Italy Part Two”

In 2005, Linda and I embarked upon a 10 day trip to Italy, consisting of 3 days in Rome, 3 in Florence, 3 in Venice. It’s a trip that started horribly but righted itself early on and went wonderfully from then on. (Kids were with my folks in Florida, as mentioned in another post) AsContinue reading “Italy Part One”

When the kids were infants, for various reasons I won’t go into, we didn’t have babysitters. By that, I mean, we didn’t get strangers or teens who do that on a regular basis. This left us with few choices, as my folks had already moved to Florida and Lin’s folks had their hands full withContinue reading “The Vacation Separation Day”

I’m filled with disgust at the animal who slowly murdered George Floyd for eight minutes, knee on his neck, while his brethren stood by and watched. That’s unacceptable by any rational or humane sense, any way you might want to look at it. I’ll have to be satisfied he’s getting charged with murder and I hopeContinue reading “A word about the madhouse.”

It was a new era for Jon Pertwee’s third Doctor, as the show was in color for the first time and the Doctor was exiled to Earth in the 1970’s with a new face, as a result of his trial by the Time Lords of his home world. *Note: the majority of the Pertwee eraContinue reading “Doctor Who Recommendations- The Jon Pertwee era”
