And God Said “Hi.”

There is nothing that can make me leave this house ever again, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! “What? Who’s coming to town”? “Laurie Anderson?” “No way! Here?" “Orpheum Theater downtown Los Angeles.”  DAMN FINE SHOT “I haven’t been outside this house in five years but just that name alone changes all thought processes. A chance to see God, live

“IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLL….” – When Smackdown Comes to Town

Hi everyone, It's your old pal Beerguy with another one of his tales of wonderment & whimsy. Now, it's no secret that I enjoy the professional graps. When I was a kid & my mom had to work on the weekend, my dad thought nothing of driving me across town and dumping

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Weasel and the Spinning Wheel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0eeotSDi8 I promise I did not crash again, either in the Snowmageddonpocalypse that didn't drop any snow on the city (just north, like the snow game we saw in Foxboro) or the intense winds last night. No, this is to make fun of my… pottery skills! Or lack thereof, since I had

Your Boots on the Grounds! Thursday Night Open Thread

Happy Thursday! I'm tired, you're tired, it's hot out, let's skip the preamble and get on with it. I did NOT go to the All Star Game this week, mainly because I didn't care about it (or frankly remember that it was happening/happened until Weaselo's mention in last night's open thread). 

Oh Boy! Rotational Thursdays with Litre!

Hey there. At the moment that this is posted I will be in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Thai food? Phenomenal.  **Note I was quite inebriated when I originally wrote this so it really bounces around a bit. BUT I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS!**   So, I was stoned, and I decided to throw out a
