I Kill Spies

Funny site. Funny guy. Not as creepy as ghost noises, but pretty interesting anyway!

Ghostbusters: We’re ready, to believe you

Real tin panels for the walls. I remember seeing the textured walls in the Winchester Mystery House and thinking how cool they were.

For years I have heard about a “restaurant” in NYC’s Greenwich Village which specializes in peanut butter. This is more like a deli, but I think this is it. I must go there.

Also I think I need to make some peanut butter blends. Also I want an Elvis sandwich.

My star fruit sorbet experiment failed today. Very sad. The star fruit was spoiled. Ah well.

I just saw Alien Planet last night, which was pretty good. I wonder how many people know about the book it is based on, Expedition?

One funny detail in this special- the first probe deployed, the Balboa, explodes on reentry. Maybe this special is a little too realistic!

Another group of “free runners” based in Cheshire, UK. Pretty crazy hobby… sort of like a Euro Wushu.

A while ago I stopped off at the library to drop a book in the return slot. All these elderly men (late 60s at least) were milling about the entrance…

OLD MAN #1: Huh. It’s closed!

BRAIN: yes. For another hour still.

OM1: Well heck. Do you have a key?

BRAIN: sorry, I do not.

OLD MAN #2: Henry!

OM1: Hello Fred.

OM2: Is it closed?

OM1: Yep. Do you have a key?

OM2: Nope. How do we get in? It’s closed!

OM1: How are we going to have our meeting?

OLD MAN #3: Henry! Fred!

OM1: Good morning Frank!

OM2: Frank.

OM3: Are we locked out?

OM2: Yep. We don’t have a key. Do you have a key?

OM3: No! Well how are we going to have our meeting?

It’s really amazing how long a few people can talk without introducing any new information to the conversation.

I was on my way somewhere, so I didn’t stick around to watch the drama unfold… as I turned the corner in my car, I saw a sign on the next building, about fifty yards from the library:

SENIOR MEETING CENTER

A spoof on Star Wars, about organic produce. The guys who did some of the effects, Mike Kahn, went to high school with me.
