Menocchio

Willow’s a favorite of mine. Willow himself and Madmartigan are amazing characters and half the villains’ names are catty references to film critics who didn’t like Star Wars.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

But the Moral Hazard!

The thing is that our Head of State and our Head of Government is the same person, which is kind of unusual. The Head of Government can just have an office, but the Head of State is expected to throw big fancy parties and show off on behalf of the country.

Meanwhile, the Duke of New York remains A-Number 1

Much love to all those protesting in the US today. I wish I could join you, but I’ll be there in the coming weeks and months.

Book cover for Pet Cemetery featuring an angry cat’s face hissing as a silhouette of a man stares off. Text and title read: I just FED YOU Stop yelling at me...

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

Sunset over Sunion

Sunset over sunion Bay

The Temple of Poseidon at Sunion Bay. A ruin of a Doric temple perfectly lit at sunset

I am sitting on a broken piece of marble column at the Temple of Poseidon watching the sun set over the Aegean Sea. The best moments in life are the small, perfect things. But sometimes a little grandeur is called for.

Third is the flavor combination of honey, sesame, and feta.

My favorite thing about Greece is living among incredible history. But close behind is that sometimes after a meal they serve you a shot of something delicious.

Do not be alarmed, but I am within several feet of JK Simmons. I SAID NOBODY PANIC.

I was about to say, that’s the name of my Twisted Sister cover band.

I’ve honestly never met a Matt I didn’t like. Shout out to all the Matts out there.

Rhode Island- Boston’s New Jersey.

Widows. Some days I think I’m the only person who ever saw that movie, but it was brilliant.

Needless to say, virology and immunology do not work that way.

I hate him so... much... it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... flames... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... heaving...

I am at the summit of Mt. Misery. Which sounds like I’m going through something profound, but it’s just a conservation area adjacent to Walden Pond.
It’s not even a real mountain, just a pretty modest hill. Maybe that’s the lesson for us all.

Doc McStuffins? Though when I was a kid I loved reruns of Emergency! 1970’s show (the concept of a paramedic was so new they had to explain it to the audience) so it’s a lot less graphic than the newer stuff, though I can’t comment on how well other stuff has aged.

Batman: Cannot and wouldn’t try. He can afford his own damn hot dogs.

Wonder Woman: Could but doesn’t because they might make it weird. Will accept ice cream. They might also try to make it weird, but she really likes ice cream.

Superman: Can and uses this power responsibly.
Spider-Man: Can and uses this power irresponsibly.

STOP SPREADING THE FALSE REPORT that Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan and Chuck Mangione all simultaneously shot each other like at the end of Reservoir Dogs. They were not in the same location and passed of natural causes.

Crazy.
But that’s how it goes.
Millions of people, living as foes.
Maybe, it’s not too late.
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate.

RIP to the Motherfucking Prince of Darkness.

Weird Al polkas with Miley on the big screen behind him.

Weird Al performs The Saga begins with the full Star Wars cast

I’ve been a Weird Al fan for over thirty years now. This was the first time I saw him in concert. He did not disappoint. Hell of a show.

The Wang Theater. Marquee advertises Weird Al Yankovic: Bigger and Weirder

Going to a concert. It had better be Small and Normal

VLADIMIR: Well? Shall we log off?
ESTRAGON: Yes, let's log off.

They do not log off.

Someday I’d like to play a character in a fantasy campaign with the backstory of “Ferrier for Centaurs”. Equal parts blacksmith, doctor, and manicurist. It’s a job that would absolutely exist if centaurs did, and would make for fascinating people.

Mary Kolache Esq, Attorney Bizarre, takes on the case of a client who does not exist yet has nonetheless been framed for a crime she didn't commit.

It's "Make a Terrible Comic Day," and cousin, I sure tried

I bet they did
