  • Sometimes Names are Hard

    Sometimes Names are Hard

    I was listening to John Heim aka Big Mo on the Big Mo Blues Show (radio KCCK 88.3) last night and he was talking about this time of year, calling it “Indian summer.” He second-guessed himself about calling it that and even wondered aloud whether it might be “politically incorrect.” Sometimes names are hard. All…

  • Heard it on the Big Mo Blues Show

    Heard it on the Big Mo Blues Show

    I heard John Heim aka Big Mo on the blues show tonight on KCCK radio 88.3 and he actually spelled the name of MayRee, the name of the cook who makes that good hand-battered catfish; it’s better because it’s battered and so the legend goes. I knew a cook a long time ago in Austin,…

    John Heim aka Big Mo a Really Nice Guy

    As many of you know, I often listen to ‘da Friday Blues show on KCCK radio broadcast out of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Last Friday, he told listeners his email address and invited fans to get in touch with him. I can’t remember ever hearing any KCCK radio show host make that invitation. So,…

  • Attack of the Giant Fried Rubber Chicken Livers!

    Attack of the Giant Fried Rubber Chicken Livers!

    Have you ever wondered if anyone ever made a movie about an attack on planet earth by fried rubber chicken livers? Boy, am I glad I’m not the only one. I suppose I could check the MeTV channel to see if any such film was ever aired by Svengoolie. What do you mean you never…

  • Cryptid Caught on Camera!

    Cryptid Caught on Camera!

    OK, so we really didn’t capture a cryptid last night—but the point today is that we certainly could have. What proves this is the accidental shot of my groin (relax, clothed!) this morning just before I touched the critter cam which was still working within the time setting. This proves that the camera works as…

    Big Mo Blues Show KCCK Iowa City

    Two songs I heard tonight on the Big Mo Blues Show on KCCK 88.3 radio out of Cedar Rapids & Iowa City, and I can’t pick the best one. One is new, by John Primer, “Hard Times,” out in 2022 and speaks to how hard times are right now. The other is old, by B.B.…

  • What’s Up with No Critter Cam Pictures Last Night?

    What’s Up with No Critter Cam Pictures Last Night?

    Things did not go according to plan last night with the critter cam. It took zero pictures. What gives? I’m sure I had the timer settings right. It’s a 24-hr. military time clock and it was set for 1930 to 0730 starting yesterday evening. The grate was undisturbed and maybe that’s the explanation. Could there…

  • Critter Cam Tested and Ready to Go!

    Critter Cam Tested and Ready to Go!

    We’re trying to catch a glimpse of whatever or whoever has been removing one of our tile drain grates in our back yard for the last few weeks. It happens only at night. We bought a critter cam and it’ll go live tonight! Today I ran the critter cam through a few tests to see…

  • Extraterrestrials Want to Cut a Deal with The Daily Crave

    Extraterrestrials Want to Cut a Deal with The Daily Crave

    We tried The Daily Crave Spicy Sriracha Lentil Chips and they’re pretty good. Extraterrestrials like the snacks and are apparently interested in cutting a deal with Jared Edy, who I think owns the stores. They want a piece of the action. They are bringing satchels of cash to the table along with proposals to cease…
