I’ve been hauling around boxes and boxes of notes from my past. Things from graduate school, things from college. Things I had poured years of my life into. As a result, I have a hard time throwing some of this stuff away, even though there’s a 99.9% chance I will never use it again. Recently,… Read more »

eD&D
We used to play D&D when we were younger. Then we went away to college. We still played every once in a while, over the summer, or over the random holiday, but not that much. Years later, Protocon occurred. Despite Mike’s mislabeling of the 2011 event, we actually had 4 of them. Most Protocons featured… Read more »
Lake Peigneur
I’m not going to write much about this; it’s already been written. However, I did find it interesting and wanted to share the links. Apparently back in 1980, a oil exploration rig owned by Texaco was drilling in Lake Peigneur when they accidentally drilled into the salt mine beneath the lake. Oops. You can imagine… Read more »
Bo Jackson & Tecmo Bowl
In reference to the comment thread for Mike’s post last month, here is Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl:
Scrapple transportation device
I obtained a Scrapple transportation device for this weekend. My mom can’t buy RAPA scrapple in WV. So I’m going to import 5 lbs. of it from PA. I’m going to have to freeze some of it. I’ve read that scrapple doesn’t handle freezing well. We are going to find out. Here’s the scrapple:
The stilt trailer
The stilt trailer is finally gone. Anyone who has been to the WV location has seen it across the street. Note the help that Max was providing.
Search terms
Mike wanted me to do another post about search terms (like this and this), but I don’t feel like it. More importantly, not much has changed since then. The top phrases still have to do with rice bugs, hunan hand, and nude D&D cartoons. Yeah, there are one or two new phrases, like ‘arachnafist’, but… Read more »
Jar Mole and the Nature Center
We used to have a nature center in our garage. It mainly consisted of bits and things that we collected while traveling in the summer: rocks, sea skate egg cases, feathers, etc. One odd (in retrospect) group of specimens was the jars of dead animals preserved in alcohol. The animals chosen weren’t limited to things… Read more »
Strokkur
For some reason, Mike and I thought it would be funny to do ‘tourist’ photos in front of random things while we were in Iceland. While the geyser pictured here, Strokkur, isn’t exactly random, no one else seemed to be taking photos like this. We had to wait 5 minutes or so for it to… Read more »
