  • 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

    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…

  • The Screaming Barn of Iowa City!

    The Screaming Barn of Iowa City!

    The other day we went out for a walk on Scott Boulevard. There is an old barn right across the street from the Harvest Preserve entrance. It’s picturesque but on that day, it was festooned with Halloween decorations including goblins and ghouls and the ground was covered with gravestones inscribed with comical epitaphs. We’ve been…

  • The Friday Night Big Mo Blues Show

    The Friday Night Big Mo Blues Show

    I heard this on ‘da Friday Night Blues on KCCK 88.3 earlier. I took guitar lessons when I was a kid. I was real good at buzzing the strings. Not everybody can make the audience clap their hands to their ears and howl in pain. It’s a rare talent-thank goodness. You’re welcome. I heard Iowa…
