Yes, this is another blog post shamelessly promoting my internet radio creations with Dangerous Dave Kuskie. Our newest series, “Tales From The Inner Sanctum”, is our version of an anthology series. “Twilight Zone”, “Night Gallery”, and so forth. The Inner Sanctum is a massive structure of which Dave and I have somehow possessed ownership. The … Continue reading The Benny Zone
Starting to put a dent in my “unread books” pile. If Facebook memes are to be believed, I am far from alone in the habit of gathering books faster than I can read them. But I do like to read them…sometimes it just takes a while. “Yabba Dabba Doo! …or Never A Star” is about … Continue reading On The Bookshelf: Reed and Brooks
None of these things individually qualify for a blog post. But put them all together! And…..it still really doesn’t qualify as a full blog post. Nevertheless, I’m paying for this blog and I gotta generate content. So, content ahoy! -In a previous blog post, which I did not share on Facebook or promote in any … Continue reading Random Thoughts For A Saturday
I visited my doctor last week. My reasons for visiting him were that my ears were clogged. I had been taking ear drops, none too successfully. I decided it was time for the nuclear option, which is an ear wash. They spray water directly into your ear and de-waxify you. It’s unpleasant but effective. While … Continue reading 146 Pounds.
Facebook is always selling to me. It knows the weird stupid crap I like, and flaunts it shamelessly before me. It’s a cavalcade of things I don’t need and would never have had the urge to own had Facebook not been pimping them out to me. Like a Frank Sinatra watch. I didn’t need one. … Continue reading Snoopy Is Cooler In Japan
So, funny thing….I recently did a post about the two fellows who did the voice of Fred Flintstone. It’s here if you haven’t seen it yet. Once in a blue moon I decide to do a little paid advertising of the ol’ bloggy to the Faceboook universe out there just to see what happens. Advertising, … Continue reading After These Messages…
Fred Flintstone was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and Alan Reed. Bill and Joe, after seeing large adult audiences for kid-focused syndicated series like “The Huckleberry Hound Show”, decided to try an animated series for adults. They went through all sorts of different historical eras (one of them, ancient Rome, was launched a … Continue reading Alan And Henry (Or: The Two Faces Of Fred)
Today I happened to chat with Tim Garwood, brother of former KCOW General Manager Mike Garwood. Tim told me about a day in 1998 when his brother Mike told him, “Well, I’ve never hired someone on just a telephone interview, but I guess I’m gonna do it now.” The someone was me. I’d never heard … Continue reading Fifty!
The first time I saw “The Abbott And Costello Show” was on “The STM Club”, a local kiddie TV show in Syracuse, NY. (The TV station was WSTM, hence the title.) The headliner of the club was Scooby-Doo, and A&C filled most of the second half of the hour. The show was run from grubby, … Continue reading “Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Abboooooooott!”
Things I am doing now, in order of enjoyment: Sipping on an ice-cold Coca-Cola Classic. No further details required. Checking a package I got in the mail….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s season one of Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery.” Cool! I thought it might be season one of “The Abbott and Costello Show” on Blu Ray, which is also … Continue reading “Listening to Myself” by Billy Idle
