Cheap Trek (didn’t they sing “Dream Police”?)

There’s good news for all of the Trekkies who don’t have the money to buy 28 season box sets at $100 each. There are now “Fan Collective” box sets which group episodes around a theme. Unofficially, this was started with the Jean-Luc Picard Collection. Pardon the banner ad, but it was a faster way to …

Alan Kistler’s Profile On: FIRESTORM!

Before we begin, I want to thank writers Michael A. Burstein and Bob Greenberger for their invaluable/helpful contributions to this article and its research. Thanks guys, seriously.

Today’s my birthday, and I get a swell present

I wake up, wondering how three dozen years of my life have gone by so fast, only to find Beau Smith telling us all that we’re going to die soon and the ticking of the clock is the sound of doom. Thanks, Beau! I forgive you. As you can see, I did put “devastating omen …

Fox programmers are a bunch of clowns

Fox has been giving King of the Hill the Futurama treatment for the last two years, pre-empting it for football all too often and ordering less-than-full seasons… then acting surprised when the seemingly-never-on show isn’t able to draw high ratings. So it’s a bit of a surprise that they finally decided to renew the show …

The Streets of Bakersfield Are Emptier Today

Country Music Hall of Fame member Buck Owens has passed away today. Okay, maybe this post is just for me, but I am certainly saddened by this news. He has gotten a hokey image because of his days hosting Hee Haw but I think it’s unfair (but of course, I actually like watching Hee Haw …

Will It Be The Artemis Version Of Wonder Woman?

According to imdb.com’s news section Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Wonder Woman in Joss Whedon’s upcoming film. I don’t know if she could pull it off or not. She’s a good actress so I have no doubt she could handle the emotional aspects of the role. I’m just not sure she could handle the …

You must never show it to the Laker Girls…or little boys

Well, they say death in fiction isn’t permanent unless you see a body, and maybe not even then, but for all intents and purposes South Park has removed Chef from the show. I don’t know to what extent Isaac Hayes wanted off the show…whether he did, or his Scientologist minder quit for him… but it’s …

Funniest thing I’ve read in a while!

QDB: Quote #628411 A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, “Don’t you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?” I said “I didn’t know there were any witnesses. Now I’ll have to kill you too”.

Harrison Ford movies tending to run together?

Oh sure, Mel Gibson gets tortured in a couple movies and Trey Parker figures he has a masochistic obsession, but there aren’t any similarities in Harrison Ford’s body of work!

Falling cat video

I remember reading once that a cat had a better chance of surviving a fall from 10 storeys up than 6 storeys (those numbers are my best guess; it was something like that) because a cat falling from a low height wouldn’t have time to orient itself to landing on its feet, whereas the higher …

Flying cows, cop cars and illegal immigrants

Flying Cow Leaves Two Police Cars in Flames A flying cow (no, not this one) led to the destruction of two cop cars and one cop was almost run over by a truck carrying illegal aliens (no, not the ones abducting the cow).
