Svengoolie Show Movie: “The War of the Worlds”
We watched the 1953 movie “War of the Worlds” last night. I can vaguely remember seeing the remake starting Tom Cruise years ago. I ran across a free pdf of H.G. Wells novel “The War of the worlds, published in 1898 and quickly read it today for the first time. Apparently, it was a pretty…

Groundhog Day Finally Explained
Well, by now everybody has heard the official news about what Punxsutawney Phil saw this morning since it’s Groundhog Day. On the other hand, the unofficial news is this: for some reason he saw extraterrestrials instead of his shadow. I know about it only because a drunken official calling me from the Pentagon spilled the…

The Extraterrestrial and Mutilated Soybean Hybridization Program in Iowa
After watching a number of TV shows about extraterrestrials (ETs), I had this vivid dream about ETs invading Iowa. Apparently, I had somehow driven out on some highway that was not clearly marked, maybe Highway 20 which the National Weather Service always mentions as a sort of boundary line between a howling, disastrous tornadimohurricannibalistic storm…

Protecting the Universe from the Scum of the Earth
The title of this post might sound familiar to those who have seen the movie Men in Black way too many times, like me. There’s a trailer poster from the 1997 MIB movie showing Agents J and K holding huge space guns and the title is “Protecting the Earth from the Scum of the Universe.”…

Svengoolie Movie: It Came from Outer Space
I watched the Svengoolie movie, “It Came from Outer Space” last night. I’m sure I’ll recover someday. Until then, I’ll have to do my best to write about it. Ray Bradbury actually wrote what’s called the film treatment for the story and Harry Essex wrote the screenplay. I gather there’s a difference between the two,…

Rife vs Ripe: Which is Right?
I noticed a couple of things about one of the President’s many new Executive Orders, which was “ESTABLISHING THE PRESIDENT’S MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN COMMISSION,” or MAHA for short. It was posted on February 13, 2025. One thing it reminded me of is the tax filing season, which is upon us (everything reminds me of…

The Hotel Gets Busy Handing Out Faux Cufflinks!
Several days ago, a large wedding guest caravan arrived at the hotel. Fascinating group. The line of people checking in could have stretched outside beyond the front door. There was this guy who was there for the wedding, but arrived without cufflinks. So, he asked the front desk to help him out. They gave him…

Closing the Loop on All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Search for Extraterrestrials?
Just in case you haven’t already heard, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) revealed the lack of evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrials from the reports about what we used to call UFOs. And NASA has said basically the same thing. So, is there anything left to say about this? Probably not from the official…

Fake Snakes Saga Slithers On
The fake snake saga continues with not much change in scaring off birds, evidently. Bird poop calling cards are still being left. I repositioned them and we’re hoping for the best. This reminds me that the other night I was awakened by what I was pretty sure was an owl and dogs raising a ruckus…

New Aromatherapy Diffusers!
Sena got some new aromatherapy diffusers made by Studio 66. They have a magical glow. One has a design of cardinals on it and it is titled Winter Ice (or Mistletoe, depending on what side of the box you read). The box says it smells like sweet orange, warm cinnamon, juniper berries and eucalpytus. The…
