“I can’t come back, I dont’ know how it works”

With those words Joel left MST3K, but evidently he has figured it out and is bringing something new to life. Interesting timing as lately I’ve been missing that show and am delighted to find clips all over the internet.

Kevin Murphy is Tom Servo to me, however. He brought a new life and upgraded personality to that character that I just love. I’m sure he’ll figure out a way to get involved with the new project.

You don’t think you have it but you do. You download cute screen savers, smileys for your email or instant messenger. Why do you think they give it away for free? because its a front door for malware that pops ads up on your computer and/or reports your activity that they sell for marketing.

A homeless man found dead at a Lockland recycling center likely was killed in a trash compactor, Lockland police said.

Moral of this story: never go into a garbage compactor without a comm-link to your R2 unit. Didn’t anyone learn anything from Star Wars?

If you notice the color or taste is a little off in your Starbucks coffee over the next few months remember the cup is made from recycled materials, and be leary of the new “Soylent Green Chi Tea” special.

Cincinnati made international news this week with the antics of Cincinnatian Kim Leblanc who was arrested for breaking into an abandoned car. When police found him he was without pants and told them yes, he had done some drugs but that a leprechaun led him to and let him into the car.

Cincinnati Police put out an APD and cornered the Leprechaun in an alley. They were going to take him in for questioning but fatally shot him instead. Even though the Leprechaun was unarmed Cincinnati Police stated that they saw him reach for something in his pocket. It turned out to be some lucky charms.

I saw the article on Reuters too but can’t find it now.

The FBI has raided a warehouse owned by David Copperfield and seized millions in cash. This was after many complaints of Mr. Copperfield walking up to random people on the street making $20 bills disappear without making them re-appear. Anyone who has seen “The Prestige” knows you have to make it re-appear or you have no trick!

Christie was obviously the brains of that relationship.

They now have a candy bar made of bacon. Ew…. Link

Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.

Nope still don’t have me.

I may have “stumbled” upon a cure for us introvert types. I’ll try it out and let you know.

Madeleine L’Engle, generation X’s J. K. Rowling, passed away yesterday. Had the internet and consumer-oriented media been around a few decades ago Charles Wallace would have been a household name like Harry Potter.

Of course back then the fantasy genre was not as accepted in the mainstream and in fact Madeleine’s most famous book, ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ - a personal favorite - has been banned in several places.

A book….banned. I can’t imagine the chaos that trying to ban Harry Potter for its magic and fantastic imagery would unleash with the current pop-culture media.

All you newbie fantasy buffs should check her work out..if you can find it.

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children. -Madeleine L’Engle
