Wal-Mart Still Sucks
I noticed that Wal-mart was having several Black Friday sales. I have no intention of ever going into the Elverson, PA Walmart again, but I was curious about whether they had the same sales the company was advertising all over the place. Â I really doubt it. They are continuing to sell their new release DVDs…

Now that’s a game I might have to get…
The new Microsoft game Mass Effect has been banned in Singapore due to graphic content. What is that graphic content you might ask? Well, two women kissing. The game has a scene in which a human woman is kissing and caressing an alien woman. Singapore’s Media Development Authority reportedly banned it. Singapore has a ban…

What the hell was People magazine thinking?
People magazine has named Matt Damon the sexiest man alive. So who died and moved him up the evolutionary latter to get that honor? They really must be nuts. Either that or his publicist is sleeping with someone at the magazine. Has to be that because all the money in the world couldn’t make him…

Khan! The Ships are Here.
I just got my two versions of the Wrath of Khan Enterprise ships from Diamond Select Toys. Of the two the standard version is my favorite. When I got it out of the shipping box and pushed the button and heard, “KHAN!†I was hooked. I have been known to shout out KHAN! Out of…

New Releases at Wal-mart Slightly Discounted Again But Not By Much
I have to agree with a lot of folks out there Wal-Mart sucks. And I am sure I could find any number of sites to go post my bitching sessions. But I will try to contain it to my little blog here [if I can]. They just seem to keep aggravating me though. As I…

I’m Just a Little Black Rain Cloud Hovering Over the Honey Tree
I love Pooh Bear. He’s all stuffed with fluff, you know? I really thought the black cloud hanging over me when going out to eat [which is not Pooh with a balloon] was slowly moving on, but it appears to have returned. A week ago we had dinner at the Red Lobster. It really was…

Wal-Mart Overpriced DVD Update
I got a chance to speak to an assistant manager at the Wal-mart in question regarding the overpriced, non-discounted new release DVDs. She said she would take it up with their marketing manager and that without anyone actually telling them the price increase bothered them they would never know. What a crock. They were just…

Now Wal-Mart Has Gone and Done It! New Releases No Longer on Sale!
For the past two weeks Walmart has really, really pissed me off. I stopped by on Tuesday the October 31st to pick up a copy of Spider-man 3. That was the release date and they advertise the newest releases at unbeatable prices or something like that. But it is a big ole lie. I grabbed…

Parking in NY City is a Real Bitch
If you have ever been to New York City you know that getting around the city can be a big pain. If you have your own car then not only do you have to deal with the traffic but with parking as well. And that is a real bitch. So you found a spot or…

Where’s the Value in that Meal?
Value meals are known for their low costs and smaller quantities. The one restaurant that seemed to still give you a decent sized burger for your dollar was McDonald’s. Not any more. I ordered a double cheeseburger the other day and took six big bites before I ever hit meat. I pulled the bun off…

FEARnet Sucks Part II
Like all good horror flicks this post has a sequel too. I have been getting hits from people searching on how to access FEARnet on demand. And you know what that is a good question. When they first announced the “channel†on Comcast I was excited but I too had trouble figuring it all out.…

Don’t Invite Me For a Meal
Even when I have nothing to do with the ordering and delivering processes I can still ruin a good meal. All I was going to do was eat it. I was at a friend’s house for a Halloween party last night and the pizza was being delivered as I got there. Perhaps that is all…
