Month: October 2008

  • Save a Dog or Cat

    Besides Halloween October can be a pretty busy month. It has two major Jewish holidays. It is Breast Cancer Awareness month (that’s why you are seeing all that pink out there – I’m saving my Yoplait lids, even though I should not be eating it), I believe Canadian Thanksgiving falls in this month, and it…

  • Halloween is a-comin

    Speaking of Halloween, my best friend is having her annual party, which is usually friends and family just a small gathering. When I spoke to her about going to see Sweeney Todd, which is why we are not going to have a party since my housemate is in the show, she voiced her concerns about…

  • The Marvelous Marvel Ranch

    We recently discovered a little restaurant in the middle of town called the Marvel Ranch. It is at 4th and Penn in downtown Reading. We have been driving by this place for twenty odd years and thought it was a closed down dive. Well it isn’t either of those things. The outside does present itself…

  • Stupid PA Laws

    Apparently Pennsylvania is trying to pass a new law that will have truckers up in arms and I am right there with them. The new laws say that no large vehicle will be able to sit and idle for more than five minutes at a time. WTF? Running the engine is the only way for…

  • Complete Allergy Test Results

    I have been meaning to post a complete list of my allergies for my friends so they know. Up until now I have only told the some of the story. Trees: maple, elm, box elder, willow, sycamore, ash, oak, walnut, cottonwood, birch. Grasses: june, orchard, timothy, ragweed. Weeds: plaintain, cocklebur, marsh elder, pig weed, russian…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Zombie Plush Toy

    This is one of the coolest plush toys since the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail (which is also available at ThinkGeek). These clever geeks over at ThinkGeek made these super cuddly, scarey, creepy little Zombies that you can rip to shreds. But the best part about this product might just be their marketing…

  • Getting My Undies in a Bunch

    The following is a complaint about the current state of my underwear. No it is not old and ratty look rather the opposite as I just bought them. I always buy Hanes underwear, Hanes hi-cut briefs to be exact. (I know TMI.) Over the past few years I have only bought their sporty briefs. They…

  • Stop PA Puppy Mills

    You may have seen Pennsylvania on the national news (I am pretty sure Dateline, Oprah or one of the other big news magazine shows did an expose on our dirty little secret – puppy mills). PA along with other states with large Amish populations have a great number of them running a new cash crop.…

  • Catwoman and Big Bang Theory

    I am sitting here working on my posts watching Batman: Returns and Batman and Catwoman were in the middle of a big fight scene and my thoughts immediately go to Big Bang Theory. First I said something about counting catwomen and then I lower my voice and say “I’m Batman”. If you haven’t been watching…

  • WTF is 31337?

    It is true that you learn something new every day. (You may not know you learned and you might forget it soon after you learn, but you do.) For me today I learned what 31337 was and no it isn’t the lottery numbers. I thought I was a geek, but there is a lot of…

  • National Coming Out Day

    In honor of National Coming Out Day (which is today by the way) I am watching Troma Films CRAZED. It is supposedly Kathy Bach (aka Daisy Dukes) only lesbian film. But like all Troma films it is totally whacked. The synopsis from the Troma Entertainment website: The Troma Team is proud to present Crazed, a…

  • Cool Steampunk Skeleton T-shirt

     This is one of the coolest skeleton tees I have seen in a long time (and I love the glow in the dark ones). This one is just so unique. Want to know what makes a clockwork man tick? You’ll see it with this cool shirt. Available now at your local ThinqueGeek Merchantile. ThinkGeeks ubergeek…
