Value Meal or McDonalds Rip-Off Scheme
Consider this a fair warning to always watch what is going on as you place your orders through the McDonald’s drive thru. Tonight I ran through the Mickey D’s drive thru to pick up a quick dinner for myself and a friend. Wanting it to be cheap and/or inexpensive I was specifically ordering from the…

New Dew is Spew
I picked up a case of the new Mountain Dew flavor Game Fuel over the weekend before having tried it. Big mistake! I liked all the other flavors to date, except the energy drinks. The Orange, Cherry and even Grape were all good, but this one is just not right. It comes in a Halo…

Dateline’s iPod “Theft” Story
Dateline did a story on stolen iPods. Problem I am seeing is the iPods in their investigation are not stolen. They were found. There is a difference. If they were taken out of the car or a person’s handbag then they are stolen. But if you place it on a bench and walk away and…

SDCC Exclusives
Personally I hate exclusives. And I especially hate them when they are impossible to get. I am referring to the Star Trek Snoopy and Woodstock bobble heads from Funko. Which are only available at San Diego Comic Con [going on right now]. Â Being on the east coast I cannot easily or affordably head over and…

There Once Was a drink from Nantucket…
I recently heard a commercial on the radio for Nantucket Nectars which rubs me the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy there drinks. It is just this commercial drives me nuts. Â It starts with the saying they are playing a spelling game, but instead of ever spelling anything all they do is…

Bad Time Equals Good Times
You might wonder how that can be, but sometimes something is just so awful that it becomes laughable. That was the case when we visited the restaurant On The Border in Exton last night. Let me start at the beginning. We arrived and were promptly taken to our table. Nothing wrong there. Well that was…

FEARnet on demand video sucks
As an on demand service under the movie category I expect certain things. One of which is no commercials. They have put commercials smack in the middle of their films. When I first heard about this new service from Comcast I was very happy, especially since we do not get the channels that Direct TV…

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus
This film, [amazon_link id=”B000XW5A50″ target=”_blank” ]Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus[/amazon_link], which is very loosely based on Diane Arbus is pure fantasy. The title an imaginary portrait does not even begin to touch on how imaginary this really is. As one reviewer put it, this is “a modern day beauty and the beast”. Nicole…

Wacko Woman at Walmart
I was in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart [so that should tell you the type of people we are dealing with here] when I heard this woman screaming F*** this and F*** that on the top of her lungs. So of course I had to look and listen while putting my groceries into…

Poor Little Rich Girl
Paris Hilton is finally getting what she deserves. Not that she thinks so. In fact she has tried everything she can [except bribe the judge] to get out of it. But why should she get out of it that easily? Any one of us normal folks would get a huge fine, longer jail time, no…

Free Comic Book Day Not So Free
Isn’t Free Comic Book Day about free comics? And getting the comics to the kids? Get them hooked so they buy more comics? Then why, oh why, were the two shops I visited on Saturday May 5th only giving away one free comic then charging for any others you picked up? Granted the one shop…
