Why is it some people are deathly afraid of clowns (not just shy away from them, but having such a deep pathological fear of them), but zombies are okay?

Funny how the word "xenophobic" is on a lot of people's lips these days. It's like the Flavor of the Month. A short time ago most people couldn't tell you what it meant, let alone spell it. If it didn't apply to Trump, a good number of people probably would never have known such a word existed...

Joe Walsh would've gotten huge support just based on his platform "I never lied to the American public". Trump might have set a dangerous precedent. Anyone CAN run, but Kanye West is threatening to run in 2020. Let's see him debate with Ted Cruz. Speaking of Cruz (remember him?), back when...

In good conscience I can't vote for either candidate. I won't vote against them either. People sacrificed their lives to protect my freedom to vote, something not enjoyed or recognized in other parts of the world. Time to write in for Ralph Nader!Again!!!! That solves my moral dilemna. How...

Ken Bone earned his fifteen minutes of fame, like Joe the Plumber. To think, his whole life was building up to that moment. You blink, it's gone.

Just from my very basic experience with plumbing, gravity and suction won't allow something from my bowl to get flushed and end up in yours.

The games to stay clear of are those mechanical claws. My wife's family used to work on the carnival circuit, and I could tell some stories... At least her family stayed away from the crooks. (They sold balloons, inflatables, novelties, that kind of deal). Twenty bucks for a turkey leg? That...

Sounds like an episode of the Brady Bunch with Peter having to play Benedict Arnold. (In the Brady universe, Arnold was worse than Judas, Hitler, and bin Laden combined). In the end, he sucked it up and played the role. In 6th grade Sunday School, we put on our version of the Passion Play. I...

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Way before Stevie Nicks, Mac was the best blues band coming out of late 60's England. Better than Cream, certainly without Cream's ego trips. All-British, all blues, triple guitar lineup, Mac was a Guitar Hero's dream. Peter Green, in Clapton's opinion, was on a par...

This is part nostalgia/part good luck/part being in the right place at the right time. This dear sweet lady (can't remember her name, but can remember where her house was) used to give out giant Hershey bars for Halloween. Nobody else could afford to do this, unless she had some connections with...

What exactly is fun about "fun size" candy bars? Given the choice between a "fun size" bar and those big Hershey Symphony jobs (the one with toffee pieces is really decent)... what would YOU like to see in your Halloween haul? Back when I was little, this old lady used to give out these giant...

I get it, safety first for toddlers. But yeah, check out some of the costumes on eBay, for the amount of money you're shelling out, some look so...CHEAP. Not only are some costumes made of paper-thin fabric, Bugs Bunny does not have bare hands, and does not wear black Reebok's. If you're going...

Adam's Ribs! 8) Twenty pounds of ribs, and a pint of sauce. Don't forget the cole slaw.

It's not people getting into the spirit early, it's the retailers' doing. They have to push so much product out the door within a certain time frame. So you see stuff for holidays months away. Even before July 4, they're pushing Back To School. If I was still a student, I'd be " What's this? I...

We all miss our pets. Putting them down is hard enough. But you have to, because if you love them, it's selfish to have them suffer. As with our cats, 15 years is a good lifespan for a stray. Giving them a good home, shelter, and love is a better alternative than fending for themselves outside...

Maybe like Garrett Saunders' Gordon, Carla didn't pan out. During the first few seasons (I might have been a toddler, but I saw people come and go) there were a number of Hispanic faces that didn't stay (Jaime Sanchez as Miguel, Raul Julia as Raphael) before Sonia and Emilio settled in...

At the Henson exhibit back in 2009, I was amazed they had some older pre-Sesame Muppets, and how well-preserved they were. During the course of shooting Sesame, Jim sometimes would drop Ernie or kick him out of the way. Carroll was horrified Jim would treat his puppets that way, but to Jim they...

Carol Burnett once commented (her comedy show was taped before a live audience, and used to open the show taking questions from the audience) there were two kinds of sitcoms on TV today (mid 1970's): "Some shows are filmed on a studio set, and the laugh track is added later. We perform live...

Happy anniversary of wishing you a happy birthday. 8)

Parents can have a profound influence, when you see the wrong turns they make. My dad was an alcoholic, and from the age of nineteen on I vowed NEVER to be like him, seeing how he ruined his life. It is sad. People that make a ton of money, have a good job (let alone A job!) good health, all the...
