    Son of Endorse those Endorsements!

    --------------------------- My father was an ad exec/creative designer and taught me to look objectively at any ad. I like most ads which don't actually make a big deal of the product but play on pop culture or clever gags to grab and hold your attention. A recent liked one would be the...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    ------------------- Any Stephen King drinking game has to have double shots anytime King himself makes a dumb cameo, and extra points (everyone ELSE has to drink besides the person who first points it out) whenever a character has the name of some awful person King encountered in real life, as...

    So We'll Go No More A-Roving, for Fear of Furry Monsters

    Part Eight Kermit scanned the list of acts for the night, doing his best to ignore the chaos behind and around him with the curtain set to open in ten minutes. “Hey, has anybody seen the galoshes for my rubber chicken?” “Boss, the band is refusing to play the Barry Manilow song for the...

    What is your strangest habit?

    ------------------------- Hear, hear! I MUST have a steady sound in the background. Fans work...so do aquarium air pumps/filters, as long as they're quiet. I always thought (geek alert!) that the plasma coils in the engine room of the Enterprise on ST:NG would be an awesome sound to sleep to...

    What do you know about dreams?

    Uh...every single night. Movies which tap into that vaguely threatening surreality creep the heck out of me: Naked Lunch, Jacob's Ladder, and the "Black Lodge" sequences in "Twin Peaks" all have made me curl into a tiny little ball on whatever sofa I then occupied. MOST of my dreams are...

    So We'll Go No More A-Roving, for Fear of Furry Monsters

    Part Seven Gina gazed fondly at her Newsman in the mirror as they stood side-by-side at the bathroom counter, both putting finishing touches on their looks for the day ahead. “See? Told you the conditioner would solve the dry-hair problem.” Newsie nodded, and even chuckled when she suddenly...
