My first unboxing video: “Exploding Bunny Poop!”

If you know me at all, then you know I am a fierce traditionalist where Easter is concerned.  Hence my gratitude at receiving this important new product.

(Seriously, though, these are indeed the same thing as the “snaps” that we kids played with the 1980’s.)



Throwback Thursday: that one time an eclipse heralded a vampire apocalypse.

Seriously, if you’re a horror fan and you’ve somehow missed the television adaptation of Guillermo del Toro’s “The Strain” (2014-2017), then you don’t know what you’re missing.



Yes, I ran this joke two years ago.

Hey, how often do you have the opportunity to joke about an eclipse?

Bring it on, terrifying celestial portent.

I ain’t afraid of you.

Note the presence of my regular nerd glasses underneath my eclipse glasses.  The reasons for that are somewhat complicated; just move along.

My friends are talking about the Greek classics.

I know there’s a pun to be found here somewhere, but so far Odyssey it.



Oh, c’mon.  This joke was a Homer run.



An earthquake and an eclipse within four days of each other?

I hope Demi Moore’s unborn child is okay.

(IYKYK.)

(And I feel so hollow about it.)

My brain: concentrate on the task in front of you.

Also my brain:

My horse-fake brings all of Troy to the yard.
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
Gonna teach them — with a Graecian charge!

Guys, I have absolutely not joined a modern dance troupe.

That post on Monday about joining the “Apollo Fridays” dance company was absolutely an April Fool’s Day joke.  If the anagram didn’t clue you in, then the villain names from FOX’s “24” probably should have (even if it’s fun to imagine Nina Meyers, Victor Drazen and Stephen Saunders conspiring to produce a national modern dance tour).

I really hope no offense was take by any of the people who believed me?  The wife of one of my college buddies wanted to support me by attending a show in Washington.  And another college friend actually is a modern dancer who really wanted to encourage me.  You guys are all so cool, your support for my faux accomplishment actually was touching!
