Netflix’s Virtual Video Store

Posted 5/25/2016 7:32 pm by

There’s nothing quite like walking into a video store, looking at the rows of boxes, and selecting a movie to watch.  It was one of my favorite things as a kid, and one of the few reasons why I went to Blockbusters right down to the end of their run.  Even after Blockbuster folded, I […]

Giant Tire Fire Erupts In Spain

Posted 5/13/2016 8:18 pm by

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

It’s not every day someone gets so angry they decide to take their fight with the police straight to the police, but people from Texas are a different breed, more than willing to roll up to the cop shop, Assault At Precinct 13 style, and take the fight right to the police.  That’s just what […]

Even if you like clowns, you have to admit they can easily become unsettling.  Just a few little tweaks in the makeup, maybe drop the real smile for a painted-on smile, splatter a little blood, and what normally delights children becomes a monster straight out of Stephen King.  If those clowns are skulking about in […]
