  • Tango Boxing a New Hybrid Sport?

    Tango Boxing a New Hybrid Sport?

    Here’s how I got off on a tangent about Tango Boxing, which honestly did sound like a hybrid sport combining dancing the Tango and boxing, you know, like chess boxing, in a ring with gloves and sustaining head injuries and dancing the Tango. I was amazed when I at first misread something in an article…

  • Wave for Wagyu Beef in Iowa!

    Wave for Wagyu Beef in Iowa!

    Sena bought some Wagyu beef the other day at Walmart. It was $8 for 4 ounces. I know I said you could entice Bigfoot to shovel snow for you by giving it Wagyu beef—but I was just kidding. But I’m not kidding when I tell you that Wagyu beef is available in Iowa. Now, Walmart…

  • New Ebonwood Cribbage Wars Board Baptism!

    New Ebonwood Cribbage Wars Board Baptism!

    Well, we got the new Ebonwood Cribbage Wars board last night. It was delivered shortly after 8:00 p.m. We took it for a test spin this morning and our inaugural game went for well over 2 hours. By some miracle and partly because of the sadistically placed final Blue Penalty Box just outside the winning…

  • What’s the Skinny on a Vaccine that Might Prevent or Slow Down Dementia?

    What’s the Skinny on a Vaccine that Might Prevent or Slow Down Dementia?

    You don’t want to just take my word for it but there seems to be conflicting messages on a live, attenuated shingles vaccine called Zostavax. One message is that “the live, attenuated herpes zoster (HZ; shingles) vaccine” might prevent or slow down dementia, especially in women according to a study in Wales and Australia. The…

    Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “Duel”

    So, the upcoming Svengoolie film is “Duel” which I’ve never seen before but Sena has—and she says it’s pretty good! She even plans to watch it. It was released in 1971 and stars Dennis Weaver. Steven Spielberg directed it. According to Svengoolie, it did so well on TV it was also released in theaters. It’s…

  • Svengoolie Movie: “The Mummy’s Tomb”

    Svengoolie Movie: “The Mummy’s Tomb”

    Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” I watched the Svengoolie movie “The Mummy’s Tomb the other night. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a mummy movie (unless you count the one in which Brendan Fraser appeared in 1999 and I didn’t pay…

  • Men in Black 5 a Thing Now?

    Men in Black 5 a Thing Now?

    I just saw something on the web which look like Men in Black 5 could be for real. Supposedly, maybe, I dunno—but I hope so. It may be more than a rumor, but there are doubts about whether Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will reprise their roles as Agents K & J respectively. Sony…

  • Tall Burger, Sena Style

    Tall Burger, Sena Style

    Sena made tall burgers for lunch today. Now, I know you have to be careful what you call a tall burger when it comes to questions about how tall is tall. What do you mean by “tall”? We’ve all seen pictures on the web of tall burgers that are 4 feet and better in height…

    Svengoolie Movie List for December 2025 and a Quiz Question!

    This is partly just an announcement of the Svengoolie show movie lineup for the month of December. But more importantly, there’s a quiz question to see if you can name the movie the shrilling chicken’s question “What the heck is it, Edgar?” comes from in the featured image above. There are no real prizes for…

  • So, Is This Anything?

    So, Is This Anything?

    We used to watch David Letterman a long time ago and he had this sketch called “Is this Anything?” I can’t remember any specific example but I thought I recognized a YouTube of one segment that was originally aired years ago. I was reminded of the “Is This Anything” sketch when Sena showed me this…
