    SF Legend Clarke Has "Rendezvous With Rama"

    Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

    Arthur C. Clarke, the greatest speculative fiction (sci-fi for the rest of you) author ever, had his “Rendezvous With Rama” yesterday as he passed through the monolith and into the Great Beyond.
    At press time, Dr. Clark’s estate could not be reached to confirm his last words were: “My God! It’s full of stars!”
    Okay, I made [...]

    You May Be King Of The Squirrels If . . .

    Friday, February 29th, 2008

    Wow . . . seems a few folks out there aren’t quite getting what it means to be King Of The Squirrels. My buddy Kyle McFarlin summed it up with his question:

    Thin-Skinned Vegans Are Stalking Me!

    Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

    Yes, it’s Day Of The Triffids all over again as marauding plants attack humans (in this case your humble blogger) with fallacious arguments.

    Monday, January 28th, 2008

    What do grammar heathens and King of The Squirrels have in common? Why do schoolteachers malke less than copywriters? And what is an “inner school marm”anyway? The answers and laughs in today’s post about the latest settling for the booby prize moment and being a royal rodent.

    The Art Of The Inconvenient Question

    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    Whatever you think about what causes global warming, are you making the same mistake art critics make?
    In social situations over the holidays, when the subject of global warming came up (as it often does), I would ask one key, clarifying question that proved to be vital to knowing where the other person was coming from.
    And the [...]

    Lance Armstrong Explains It All To You

    Monday, November 12th, 2007

    When challenged that his latest bit of wisdom was from Snoopy the Dog, “reluctant messiah” Donald Shimoda shrugged it off, “I quote the truth wherever I find it.”
    In that vein, if you have ever been tempted to quit, then enjoy this bit of Lance Armstrong’s real-life, snap-out-of-it wisdom from, of all things, the film Dodgeball:
