Taking My Scoff Syrup
By now everybody’s seen the recently released declassified UFO files and gone back to watching the old movies like Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” which I watched night before last on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Of course, Spielberg’s new movie, “Disclosure Day” is coming out this month coincided perfectly with release of…

Psilocybin in the News
Sena alerted me to an interesting news item about psilocybin which a case report describes the agent improving a Japanese American woman’s dementia. It was a whopping dose of 5 grams, which I guess is much larger than usual. She also received a second 3-gram dose: Lago M, Cerveira M and Simonet JX (2026) Transient…

I Look Back Once in a While
Every once in a while, I look back in my past. It’s not always the greatest thing to do, but when most of the memories are good, then it’s OK, I guess. I saw something that made me do this about a week ago while I was taking a walk around the block. It’s a…

You Have to Read the Reblogs About Florida Man!
This is a twofer reblog because you get two blogs for the price of one! No, you don’t have to buy anything. The main event is a song entitled “Florida Man” by Selwyn Birchwood, mainly because I first heard it a few years ago on what is now, sadly, the retired Big Mo Blues Show,…

What You Need to Know About The Cow Cribbage Curriculum Conspiracy
This is National Dairy Month and the extraterrestrials know all about it. In fact, the one thing Agents Mulder and Scully didn’t know about was the Cow Cribbage Curriculum Conspiracy (CCCC) that has been under way since before the ETs crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. As Deep Throat put it on the X-Files, “They’ve been…

Do I Know Anything More about How You Can Prove a Negative? ReBlog!
I anticipated that WordPress would suggest I do a reblog of my post from June 8, 2021, “Aliens Dancing on My TV Remote Again.” I can’t remember whether I ever found out why our TV remote control was clicking like it was possessed by a demon or extraterrestrial or not. Maybe that’s because I was hypnotized…

Svengoolie Show Movie: “Curse of the Demon”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” We watched the Svengoolie show movie “Curse of the Demon” last night and I must say at the outset that I was very intrigued by the opening scene in which Dr. Julian Karswell (Niall MacGinnis) and his lovely…

Da Blues with Bobby D: I Prefer “Bye Bye Blues”
I can tell you I only half-listened for the most part to ‘da Blues with Bobby D (Bob DeForest) last night on KCCK because I was working on something else. But I could not block out the song “Living in a Dangerous Time” from the Little Axe Champagne & Grits album. I felt haunted by…

Time for July Psychiatry Consults Reblog Reflections; Ouch!
Here’s a reblog post from June 6, 2019. As I reflect on it, I remember with chagrin the time when I tried to fix the challenge of difficult to decipher psychiatry consult questions. What it taught me belatedly is that you just can’t fix everything. I think my frustration was obvious to the trainees and…

Correctly Pronounce the Name Odysseus or Just Call Him Bud
I read an interesting essay yesterday in an issue of Iowa Now about a great story in Greek mythology. It’s the story of The Odyssey, which I have difficulty remembering how to spell. And that reminds me of a couple of anecdotes. They both involve my learning about Greek mythology from two great teachers at…
