Moving on up...

2006-06-04T03:38:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my friends at Milk and Cookies, I am moving to a deluxe apartment in the sky... my very own web site!You can check out my new digs at robotsandwrestlers.com.Why the move? As much as I love Blogger, after months of hacking and fine-tuning this site I decided I'd be better off with Wordpress. Anyone in the Blogger community interested in this template drop me a line at the new

Web 2.OH, YEAAHH!!

2006-05-31T07:57:00.000-07:00

There is so much buzz on the internet about Web 2.0. Supposedly this is the thing that will liberate us all.But what is it?Here's Web 2.0 in geekspeak: New internet technologies to break down our isolation, allowing people to collaborate and share information online and create virtual communities.Here's Web 2.0 for the rest of us:Now that's real technology for the masses!You can buy your shirt

Hi, I'm Black Flag's Slave

2006-05-28T08:42:00.000-07:00

1984 was awesome. That was the year the drummer for Black Flag almost kicked my ass.I saw many great punk rock shows in my time, but in 1984 I caught Black Flag, the Meat Puppets, and Nig Heist at the Norwegian Ballroom in Seattle.Nig Heist wore women's underwear and wigs onstage. They played badass heavy metal songs.The Meat Puppets had just put out Meat Puppets II, an awesome album.Black Flag

Cyber Amish Robots

2006-05-27T07:57:00.000-07:00

I use Mapstats by Blog Flux to see all the wonderful places where people come to visit El Santo from.I was checking out the list of blogs they think are related to me, and I stumbled across i need to stop soon. That's where I found this thought-provoking film about Cyber Amish Robots.Check out the movie here. It made me think about being raised Jewish in a whole new way.Technorati Tags:Robots,

A great disturbance in the Force

2006-05-25T20:40:00.000-07:00

I remember when I was 13 I realized that people with red hair also have red pubic hair.That kinda grossed me out.It didn't really stop me from paying homage to the King, though. Yes, I've been known to eat a whopper or two in my life time. Here's me and my friends hanging out and partying at BK.I just couldn't help going there because the babes were so hot.And Rodney Allen Rippy ate there too.

Arrr!

2006-05-23T13:00:00.000-07:00

Most little boys dream of being pirates. Many grow out of that dream, but I didn't.Now it seems like these days every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to be a pirate.I guess I can't blame them. The life of a pirate is pretty swell and all... chasing booty and stuff. But the whole thing makes me mad. Just because you have an eye patch and say "arrr!" doesn't make you a pirate, my friend.So I set out

Humanzee, Part 2

2006-05-20T10:41:00.000-07:00

In a rare moment of victory for me, Emily's dad, Joe Stalin, and Oliver the Humanzee, this week scientists proved that we did it with monkeys and that's where we came from.Maybe that's explains why I always looked so ugly in this baby picture.Technorati Tags:Uncategorized, HumanzeeCategories: Category 10_, ...

Dusted

1982 brought us many great things.In 1982 Helen Hunt played Sandy Cameron in the ABC After School Special "Desperate Lives". This was a watershed moment in cinematic history.In the movie her boyfriend convinced her to smoke some pot laced with angel dust. He said "don't worry baby, everything's gonna be cool"and she took a hit. Next thing you know she ran down the hallway and jumped out a

Monsters rule

2006-05-16T23:08:00.000-07:00

During the mid-1980s the only place you could buy Monster Cereals on the West Coast was the Safeway in Eureka, CA.That was the longest dry spell of my life. It almost killed me.Of course I am thrilled that you can go into just about any decent supermarket these days and buy yourself a box of Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Booberry.Now the good folks over at one of my favorite web sites,

Bloggy Dooby Doo!

2006-05-14T08:45:00.000-07:00

Roinks! It sure has been a long time since I posted to this blog.Did you know that my wife banned me from saying "Rooby Dooby Doo!" in bed?And I actually thought it was a turn on for her.Anyway, I loved this cartoon as a kid. Who didn't? And when I grew up I became a stoner with permanent munchies just like Shaggy.I became a bit of drunk too, just like this episode where Scooby gets into the

This album must be played in the dark

2006-05-05T23:01:00.000-07:00

When I was in Junior High my friends and I used to drop acid and listen to this album called The Zodiac.The back of the album cover carried the warning "MUST BE PLAYED IN THE DARK."From the beginning of the first track, Aries - The Fire Fighter, we knew we were in for something different when the first words were spoken:Nine times the color red, explodes like heated blood,The battle is on.What

A Man Called Weinbach

2006-05-05T22:28:00.000-07:00

Brent Weinbach used to be a substitute teacher in the Oakland Unified School District. He is a very strange man. If he ever comes to your town to perform his stand-up comedy routine make sure and see him.Technorati Tags:HumorCategories:Category 10_

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

2006-04-25T12:08:00.000-07:00

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy,And loving the cowboy ways.Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes,I burned up my childhood days.I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter,Don't you hold on to nothing too long.Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them,With the words of a sad country song.My heroes have always been cowboys.And

Fantastic beyond description

I often wonder what would happen if you put a couple of luchadores (masked Mexican wrestlers) in the ring against life-size Rock'em Sock'em Robots.That may always remain one of life's great mysteries, but thanks to gammaraybots I know what would happen if you combined the two to make the ultimate set of fighting machines.Technorati Tags: Robots, Toys, Wrestlers
