RIP Martin Mull It’s so hard so say goodbye, so let’s just say Hors D’Oeuvre. youtu.be/qzILlAiF_1Q?...

Martin Mull - Hors D'Oeuvre (1972)youtu.be This track was co-written by Martin Mull and Bill Elliott and was originally released on Mull's 1972 self-titled album. In 1976 it was also covered by Australian entertainer Norman Gunston on the B-side of his single "Salute To ABBA". This video can be viewed by anyone who is a fan of Martin Mull's music.

RIP Russ Morash Producer of Julia Child, and created This Old House and New Yankee Workshop. The New Yankee Workshop YouTube channel features several recent videos of Morash in the workshop, updating viewers on how various projects have withstood the test of time. www.wgbh.org/collections/...

Three years ago, two fluffballs joined our family. Aside from all the things they do that are bad, they are good boys.

I’m among the least likely to ever post about sports, but the US beating Pakistan at cricket is like a non-American team winning the World Series.

This won’t matter to 99% of the people who know me, but former Top Gear/Grand Tour presenter James May solicited humorous roasts/insults for his new line of gin, and my humble submission was used. His facial expression says it all.

Roughly a quarter century ago I worked on a game show that was basically a version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire but for middle school kids. I just unearthed the test used to qualify the kids. Message me if you want a copy. Yes, I have the answers, and I’ll grade your test if you want.

I can think of worse ideas than an all-Muppet Star Trek feature film, with one or two charming human actors to anchor the cast — like Ryan Reynolds and Ana de Armas. Dear J. J. Abrams — you’re welcome.

I think I have given this film we made about books and love and justice as much of a social media push as we can - will now find a new way of hopefully getting a few more viewers - bloody tough m.youtube.com/watch?v=3-hl...

The Origins of a Bibliomaniac | Bibliomaniac with Robin Ince | Episode 3 #books #documentarym.youtube.com April 18 2024 would've be Nigel Ince's 94th birthday. Instead it marks the one year anniversary of Robin's Dad's funeral so in this episode of Bibliomaniac, ...

In preparation of the studio tour I’ve arranged for my class, I’m showing them some behind the scenes bits from my time in Hollywood. Only some… much of it is not suitable for a middle school classroom. Again, if you knew me during those years, I apologize. I was young and needed the money.

Channeling my inner hobo today.

Why do people want political content be forced into their newsfeeds? Is it so difficult to navigate to AP or NPR to find out the latest details of breaking news? Is social media so all-consuming to people that if a tree falls in the forest and nobody posts about it, it doesn’t make a sound?

Attn. Walmart and Target and Kroger: Don’t trust me to self checkout? Then hire enough cashiers to do the job. Want me to self checkout for 10 items or less? Put up signage to that effect; don’t just pay an employee to admonish us. Want me to self checkout? I expect to be given a discount.

I’ve been to Canter’s countless times; it never disappoints

A dozen or so years ago, I’d have paid handsomely for this on vinyl. Now the sight of it made me gag. Besides, she’d just accuse me of buying a bootleg.

We want out. We want back in. We want out again.

I’m the last guy to speak on fashion, but if you are 60-years-old and wearing a baseball cap backwards on your head, consider… well… consider every decision you’ve ever made in your life that led you to this moment.

Been a fan of Josh Gondelman since I discovered him on The Bugle podcast. He has a refreshing look at life that also happens to be very funny.

Hi! I recorded a little mini-special called “Trauma Response” with Don’t Tell Comedy! I am really proud of these jokes, and I hope you enjoy them! It would really mean a lot to me if you’d watch the set and comment share it if you like it! Watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpq...

Anyone remember the Pac-Man glitch after level 256? I’ve reached the end of advancement on “The Simpsons: Tapped Out” game. EA has done a better-than-average job making what could’ve otherwise been a boring sim-city style game into a fun waste of time.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the classroom … for this year’s door decorating contest, each classroom was assigned a country. We were assigned Brazil, hence the Christ the Redeemer statue and Santa and his elves chilling at the beach.

A termite ridden wood fence above this brick wall that belonged to the neighbors had to come down, resulting in a lack of privacy. I erected a bamboo screen, added some lights, and the result is more privacy and less visible cinderblock. Jax delighted in getting dirty while I toiled away.

Mike Pence should be forced to carry his Presidential campaign to term.

I’m unsure why I saved blank stationery from former workplaces unless I was planning to forge letters of recommendation. Does anyone need any letters of recommendation?
