The good old flu has already affected 100 times as many Americans than reported Chinese and it has killed many more times reported as well. Coronavirus is just the latest fad because it has a catchy name and the media is sensationalizing its spread. With any luck maybe all of this silliness will change some

As an OG Transformers fan, I had both Optimus Prime and Megatron dueling on my bookshelf and in the back yard for years of my youth. The design of Megatron was a Walther P-38 with extensions. As a character, he shrunk to the size of whomever was wielding him in gun form and expanded when transformed to robot for full

I always though you bought vehicles in the first quarter of the new year (last year’s model) to get the clearance deals. Maybe this philosophy has changed with sales tactics for buyers now? However, I agree that the whole marketing blitz to “put a bow on it” is rather odd if not an overtly gluttonous capitalism

There’s enough room in the world of cinema for both types, along with myriad others, to co-exist. Not everyone wants to go watch a 2-3 hour biopic about crime set 50 years ago. Now everyone wants to go see a non-stop action film featuring idealized characters clad in spandex wielding otherworldly abilities and

This is not a banana?”

Kind of agree. This is very cool for someone’s geek project but would be terrifying in person. I’d be done with it after about 5 minutes. But kudos to him and his pursuits.

Not that any fast food can be considered a great source of sustenance, if you are consistently eating out at those places you gave up on food quality and your health a long time ago. Why is Subway even around anymore? They should have gone bankrupt after Jared and the vice-CEO were caught with kiddie-porn, and then

Nice anecdote, for those from the 80's we are all way too familiar with the classic K-Car. This was the vehicle that high schools in my district anointed as the official Driver’s Ed car. Yes. They outfitted them with dual brake/accelerator rigs and all, automatic of course. I also almost killed all 4 passengers on my

For the mostpart, MNF has been dead for years. Relying on the occasional epic duel or frantic finish, the NFL has draped the game with all the pomp and splendor reserved for bowl games and the Big One. With seldom deserved results on the field.

So, he drank too much coffee?

I live in Utah whose basketball team is the Jazz and they have never played this song in the arena during intro. Maybe because Tribe was a NYC based band and they don’t want another team repping with their song?

Florida: the state that gave up on professional football.

Nothing will happen. Donald Trump has shown time and time throughout his “career” and life as a politician that a moneyed, powerful white man with the right backing can do anything in this country. And as it is astutely pointed out, this country has been founded and run on greed since the very beginning. It is just

The trials and travails of Donald Trump: Senior Class President continue.

But since he is a white, male citizen he will pay a small fine and be sent on his way. 2-3 years down the road he will commit a mass shooting and authorities will say they never saw it coming.

I was raised in a low/middle income family and they saved everything including paperclips, rubber bands, twist ties and bread bags. This habit carried over and I try to reuse most things until they are not usable on a practical or sanitation level of wear. I have found that most Ziplocs, especially the quart and

I’m not sure what can be done or what will happen moving forward but I do know this:

We’ll never see that level of ambition for our current leader. He says he wants to go back to the Moon and then Mars but also doesn’t know what country members of Congress are from. Maybe he would rather live in the 1960's when the type of insensitive racism that the country was divided over was acceptable and

Lauren McCluskey and now Mackenzie Lueck are a recent cases that reveal a trend that has existed in the tidy-white community of Salt Lake City, Utah for years. This is a society that is steeped in misogyny and subservience. The Mormons (they don’t like being called that anymore!) have a history of closed doors and

Remember when loyalty was a thing and people didn’t talk about the NBA enforcing a clause to try to convince players that leaving a team every 2-3 years to form a superteam with James wasn’t a good idea for the brand?
