Hey, y'all...I'm looking for a cartoony type artist to team up with me on a comic strip about gaming/gamers. (wow, original concept, eh?) If anybody knows of one, let me know.

ARRR, ya goggle eyed buncha landlubbers, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day! Here aboard the "Falling Anvil", me and me first mate Grace be lookin' forward … Continue reading Iron Chef: Dogfood Sandwich Battle
Crunchy Munchy Honey Bunchy
Just got back from seeing "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". Absolutely excellent Saturday matinee movie! Action packed, retrofuture looking, Godzilla/King Kong referencing, Hollywood serial honoring coolness of the highest order. Take you kids, take your parents...hell, take your GRANDPARENTS! Worth every penny of whatever the ticket costs you. Also hitting the redline on … Continue reading Crunchy Munchy Honey Bunchy
Puny Humans! Hulk Smash!
As Grace and I expected, the subhuman white trash next door are not being cooperative now that they've found out they owe us for their half of the repairs for the tree damage. They are avoiding us (which normally would be a blessing) and they hung up on our insurance agent. Looks like we'll be … Continue reading Puny Humans! Hulk Smash!

After last weekend and the Fallen Tree From Hell, we reckoned we deserved some relaxation. Tomorrow marks the … Continue reading Rollin’ And Ramblin’
The Squirrels Are Watching Me
The latest from the insurance company: No problem paying us for the repairs on OUR electrical stuff/tree removal. However, all the electrical repairs done on our white trash neighbors house seems to have been THEIR responsibility, not ours. Acty Of God and all, don'tyaknow. Now the big trick will be getting the $3,500.00 out of … Continue reading The Squirrels Are Watching Me
WE HAVE POWER!!!!!
As of about 6:30 this evening, our power was finally restored. The electricians have to come back tomorrow and put in a ground on our box AND fix our neighbors stuff. Cost of all of this emergency shit on Labor day weekend? $7,200 so far, with as much as $3,000 more if they have to … Continue reading WE HAVE POWER!!!!!

Spent all day with my brother cutting up and removing the bigass hunk of tree that fell into the white trash yard nex door. Worked my ass off. Electrician never did a fucking thing to restore power, so called an electrical contractor who will be here to fix everything in the morning. Borrowed my mom's … Continue reading Life Sucketh!

High winds in the valley today. Got home at 5:00 to find that part of the tree in the backyard had broken off, falling across the power lines to my house and the neighbors house. Local utility could restore half of his power, but our damage happened on the wrong spot to be the utilities … Continue reading AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!
