Youth In Revolt (Movie Review)

We started the day with breakfast at Original House of Pancakes where I got the Mandarin orange crepes. Karen got a bacon and egg sandwich on sourdough. She wanted a car wash so we went and waited while they washed it all. As they were drying it, a bird kept shitting on the roof because [...]

A Very Not Beatles Christmas

First, this oddity from Stevenson. These are the rantings of someone who said he went to a parallel universe where the Beatles hadn't broken up and he ran into someone who told him all sorts of stories and whatnot. He came back with a tape of an album of unreleased Beatles songs. These songs, are [...]

NASA Confirms Life On Mars

Well, almost. Bacteria is life of a sort. NASA is expected to confirm that there was life on Mars sixteen million years ago. They have reportedly found evidence of bacteria that does not have terrestrial origins. This advance report in the UK's Telegraph is astounding. Dr Emily Baldwin sums it up best herself, "If the [...]

Companies That (Still) Suck and Movie Reviews

First, special venom today for Winn-Dixie (previous post) for case 790762 which on 3-3 and 3-11 they promised me a reply from their "District Office" and which hasn't happened. At least we know why they've been bankrupt once already.
Second, even more venom for Tony Roma's (previous post) which still hasn't replied about my issue from [...]

Meat. Yummmmmmmmmm……

First, some prep-work for this anecdote: http://www.digitalcity.com/2009/02/19/diner-vs-dinner-biggest-steak-challenges-across-the-country/ (Reading this will put you in the right frame of mind for this post. It will probably also make you hungry.)
PETA – People Eating Tasty Animals Support PETA — more meat for me

My record is approximately 40oz achieved at Kokomo's at the Mirage in Las Vegas — [...]

Rock Beach Grill (Pembroke Pines, Florida) Review

This past Friday evening I ate at the above named restaurant at 11825 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines. The service started out pretty good. I had ordered a Mango Lemonade to drink and it was quite tasty. I ordered a second one, which arrived and I took a sip. I noticed something in it. It was [...]

Science Fiction, Double Feature (RHPS)

Well in a post-birthday celebration, we had a great evening out. First, we (everyone except Karen and Timmy) ended up going to Renegade, the awesome BBQ restaurant at the Hard Rock. I tasted alligator — the first time I've ever eaten it. It tastes like ….. chicken …. and I wasn't even going to eat [...]

Vegas Trip Summary

As you know it was a trade show that brought me to Las Vegas on Saturday morning for a stay until Wednesday. The weekend was Greg and Gaby's 15th anniversary, and perversely, they invited me and Austri to spend it with them.
We met up with them around 5pm Saturday for an early dinner at Daniel [...]

Robin Williams' Reality What A Concept

When I was a kid — 300 to 400 years ago –, I first heard Robin Williams' album "Reality … What a Concept" and it was uproariously funny (subversively bawdy might be a good term). I believe it was my cousin Mike who first played this album for me. I never forgot it, though [...]

Why I won't return to Tony Roma's

Today I had a great meal and decent service, but a really bad experience. I live near Tony Roma's Doral. I've been eating there regularly since they opened. I've been eating at their chain since the very first one opened in North Miami Beach back in the 1970s. Yeah, most people don't know it started [...]
