A while back I wrote a post regarding names that could be, shall we say, taken the wrong way. Someone has just sent me a link to what could be considered the One True Repository of poorly chosen website addresses (URL). If you’re looking to kill some time or just want a good laugh head [...]
Sam Raimi. To most, he is the well known Hollywood director of the summer blockbuster Spider-Man series. But to some he is the creator of one of the finest B-grade horror films in the history of the genre, The Evil Dead, and with it what could be the greatest character to ever grace the screen, [...]
Grand ideas. History is rife with them, from the obscure young Macedonian named Alex who decided to get himself a little more land to those immortal words, “Let’s get the band back together!”
This Website was just such an idea. But maybe with more beer…
As so often happens with such lofty ambitions this little “home on [...]
So in case you didn’t know today, September 19th, is International Talk Like a Pirate day. In this world of religious diversity and, all too often, intolerance this is one thing I think we can all join hands and get behind. After all, who doesn’t love a pirate?
So we thought we’d try something new. Something involving sacrifice by us in a brave attempt to enhance or better your life. Something for which we would ask no thanks, but go forth proud in the knowledge that we had suffered on behalf of our fellow man.

Hype. Dictionary.com defines it as “exaggerated publicity; hoopla”. I think it’s safe to say that most of us have at one time or another been caught up in hype, and on nearly every one of those occasions been let down. Maybe it was a new book (are you listening Mr. Barker?), maybe it was a [...]
Like any good Heathen I am gainfully employed (while it’s true that we need fewer clothes than most, we require astonishing amounts of booze). And like most of you out there to become employed involved the creation and distribution of that time honored document: the resume.
It just so happens that the company I now work [...]
Gil’s post got me thinking. Realistically I’m not TOO angry about gas prices because any rational person should have seen it coming. This country ['s electoral college] voted into office (twice) an oil man who proceeded to invade an oil producing region of the world under false pretenses. Add that to the fact that compared [...]
I am a Clive Barker fan. I read the books, saw the movies, even bought the puzzle box. So when I found he had returned to horror after a long hiatus writing children’s books and the like (which were, to be fair, excellent children’s books) I was thrilled. I mean buy it in first edition [...]
