Is there some unwritten rule that it’s okay to release technology before the bugs have been worked out? The Xbox’s Red Ring of Death and Microsoft Windows Vista major issues are just two examples of items that, let’s be honest, should never have been released. I’m having some major issues with my LG Lotus phone […]
Does anyone else find it the least bit odd that the quintessential modern American horror franchise, Saw, is having a roller coaster themed after it IN THE UK? Those darn Brits…they have better TV, better comic writers, and now…they have our beloved Saw. You’re right. I went too far. The Saw movies are pretty crappy. […]
My very first encounter with Oliva cigars came via the bargain bin several years back. At my friendly neighborhood cigar store, the management maintains a box of discounted cigars in one of their walk-in humidors. It has been my experience that some really wonderful smokes make it into the sale bin. One day, I picked […]
Everybody needs an every-day-cigar. Each cigar enthusiast ought to have a meat and potatoes stogie in the humidor. Something tried. Something true. A quality smoke that is affordable. For me, that cigar is Quorum. It’s the cigar I throw into my huntbag when my brother and I head out to shoot. I take it with […]
So, according to this article (http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/01/20/disney-expands-to-shanghai-but-will-it-also-hook-shamu-it-will/), Disney is one of the only companies with the finances available to buy the Busch Gardens/SeaWorld parks (about $4.5 billion). Of course, they don’t take into account that I’ve been saving up for this very instance. Still, who wants to buy SeaWorld? Not me, that’s who…uh…not.
Nine years ago today, Suzanne and I were married. Surrounded by friends and family, we exchanged vows embarking on life’s journey together. We share a great deal. We are both hardcore readers and each have an abiding passion for quality TV, music, fine food and wine, Church, and board games. She does not; however, share […]
My buddy sometimes says “You know, I could watch (good actor) eat for an hour and a half and think it’s awesome.” I always thought it was a little weird because, well, how the hell can that be interesting? Then I came across God’s gift to television. Man vs. Food!
On occasion, folks will say “it’s just a phone.” Bah! They don’t get it because they don’t have one. Don’t make me choose between you and my iPhone! My iPhone completes me! Much as the silver cord connects my astral form to the Prime Material Plane, the iPhone connects me to the vast, wondrous world […]
Because we don’t write about enough damn things on this blog, I’m adding food to the mix! Watch CBS Videos Online I love how, at the beginning of the article, it sounds like a rather scaring commentary on a restaurant sure to kill you with its lard coated buns and scantilly clad waitresses. Then the […]
Sitting out in the backyard this evening, I was afforded the opportunity to sample a Torano Virtuoso. It was the second Torano I’ve enjoyed in as many weeks. The first was an Exodus Silver, which as I recall, was a fine stogie but not altogether memorable. Tonight, though? This Virtuoso? Truly noteworthy. My cigar was […]
