Everyone Wants To Beat Daniel-san’s Ass 10 Mar 2013 | 11:26 pm
Everytime I channel surf the past few weeks, there’s Ralph Macchio sulking, being oblivious or – most often – getting his ass kicked by every living soul whose path he crosses in one of the three Kara...
The Clicker 2 Mar 2013 | 05:39 pm
I was watching Pardon The Interruption the other morning before work when I heard Mike Wilbon mention something that – by his reference and my recognition – dated both of us. The clicker. The first pe...
Killer On The Rampage…Somewhere 23 Feb 2013 | 08:42 pm
(rebroadcast from February, 2010, now with added calcium) I read the news most days. But, unlike my parents and their generation, I don’t make a point to watch a news broadcast each day, merely pausin...

(rebroadcast from February, 2009) Here, it is often said that if you don’t like the weather, wait twenty-four hours. Actually, I’ve been trying to inject new blood into that maxim by saying, if you do...
The A-Team 30 Jan 2013 | 05:34 am
I got sucked into The A-Team on cable. Three hours later, I had watched about an hour and a half more of the exploits of Hannibal Smith and friends in movie form than I had ever watched of the televis...
Happy Birthday, Excitable Boy 26 Jan 2013 | 08:06 pm
