Back in the 90’s, well before I was doing anything online, I had a few friends who were. And one of the things I clearly remember one of them merrily telling me all about was a video simply known as the Exploding Whale. It sounded awesome. So awesome that I made a mental note to …

A Dog That Loves Bath Time?
Today, Tansy got her second bath she’s gotten while she’s been with me. Man, is she ever easier to bathe than Trix. She hates getting in, and will fight tooth and nail to stay out of there, but once she’s in, she’s good as gold. I still appreciated having Steve there to keep the curtain …
If You’ve Never Seen Bret Hart Win The World Title From Ric Flair In Saskatoon, Here You Go
I’ll always remember how shocked my 12-year-old self was when it turned on wrestling one weekend in 1992 and heard the news that Bret Hart had beaten Ric Flair for the WWF title a few days earlier on a show in Saskatoon. It wasn’t just shocking because there was a new world champion and at …
This iPad Is Broken. All That Comes Up On The Screen Is A Picture Of Some Idiot
You guys aren’t going to believe this. Yet another person bought an iPad from some dude at a gas station. And wonder of wonders, it wasn’t really an iPad. I know, it’s shocking! This $200 trunk bargain turned out to be a mirror dressed up like an iPad. Victim (I hate using that word in …

Old Toys
Yup, I’m full of random posts. I hope these aren’t boring. A while back, I noticed that the noise What’sApp makes when you have new messages reminded me of something…something…what was it? What I settled on was the little humming noise an old toy I used to have made if you shook it just right. …
We Live In A Busy Society, So It’s Nice Of The Fireworks People To Get Things Over With Quickly
Remember that time when 18 minutes worth of San Diego fireworks display went off in 15 seconds? Apparently 2012 was a bad year for that, because here’s video of something similar happening in Scotland a few months later. This one was said to have been the result of a rocket misfiring and bouncing into all …
A Real Florida Cracker
I can’t stop watching this Terry Funk promo about Jerry Lawler wanting to be a true Floridian. My mind is being pulled equally in 2 different directions: 1. This is hilarious. 2. This man is legitimately insane and would probably kill himself just to injure me in a fight. Then I have another thought. Even …
Some Thoughts After Watching Bound For Glory
Since I took the time to predict the thing, I should probably talk about bound for Glory. I’m glad I bought it, but it really didn’t feel like the biggest show of the year. Nothing was awful and some of it was quite good, but if we’re measuring it by the standards of Wrestlemania in …

Cartrivision
This might be old news to some of you, but I had no idea that before there was VHS or Betamax, that there was Cartrivision. I’m pretty sure that the reason I’d never heard of it is because it didn’t catch on at all. Sales were so poor that it was only produced for a …
I Just Learned A New Baseball Rule
Two people have just learned something. Me, and Vinnie Catricala of the Midland RockHounds baseball team. That thing? It is possible to strike out on just 1 pitch. Turns out there’s a rule covering this, but it’s so rarely enforced that almost no one who doesn’t study these things day in and day out knows …
