Time to prep the bird and get it in the oven. We’ll be catering for my parents again this year, even though it’s quite a drive. Gentlemen, start your coolers . . .

Funzies from Mikkake
Posted in Legion of Nitwits, Philbin, tagged Legion of Nitwits, Philbin on November 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It seems too many people are ignoring Mikkake, so he started another thread at SL. The yawns in response are deafening. I have a feeling this thread will fade into obscurity, but just in case it gets good, I’ll check it from time to time for screen-grab-worthiness.
Daggy and Racism
Posted in Dagstine, Legion of Nitwits, tagged Dagstine, Legion of Nitwits on November 8, 2009 | 41 Comments »
I was watching this thread at SL develop. Now that it’s reached page 2, it’s getting good. Daggy starts a thread on racism in the genre, posed as a question he’s asking based on a conversation he had over lunch with a friend of his. Never mind that a guy who’s supposedly so into horror […]

Not content to hand out lousy advice on Shocklines, Lorenzo put up an entire essay on his blog advising newbie authors how to make money at book signings and sales booths. AT OUTDOOR EVENTS & FOR THE INDEPENDENT/NEWBIE AUTHOR by Lawrence R. Dagstine That appears to be the subtitle of his essay. Brilliant, I say. […]

ETT has another entry that features Nicky’s student bio page, ostensibly from high school. Although Nicky never could draw very well, the picture facing the bio looks like something a fifth grader would draw. The ones I’m used to seeing from our favorite midget, drawn in what looks like colored pencil or crayon, show him […]

Edited by Terrie Leigh Relf, and published by Sam’s Dot. According to its guidelines page, it pays $10 a story, plus a contributor copy. You […]
Nicky and The Ven-U

Hat tip: PG Nicky has a dream. No, not the scary kind involving things that go bump in the night. Get this: Nikita wants to own a bar/nightclub in Joliet that serves food, and will be closing. Nickolaus Pacione Lamenting the closing of The Ven-U. Saw the disrepair of the place, now thinking of taking […]
Keene Slips and Dies

By Russell Nayle The report of a murder in Lewisburg came over my police scanner just before noon on November 3, 2009. Nothing ever happens in Lewisburg. There was a guy – a county prosecutor or something like that, who simply drove off in his Mini a few years ago, and never returned — but […]
Coho

Back in June, wild Alaskan sockeye was the thing. I got a whole side of that for $21. It lasted for four days. We bears like our salmon. It makes our coats glisten, or whatever. Mostly, it just tastes yummy. Yesterday’s deal was wild-caught Alaskan coho for $14 a lb. I bought a whole side […]
