Muppet Chronology- An Exploration of the Known...
For years, I’ve tried to mentally reconcile the Muppet movies and shows into one cohesive timeline/universe. Of course there were several Muppet appearances prior to “The Muppet Show”, but I am mostly concerned with “Cannonical Muppets”….basically, the main collection of Muppets, from “The Muppet Show” forward. (Anything during the time period...

Dear diary....
Don’t you hate when you start a brand new journal or something, and then a bunch of craziness happens that keeps you from updating one day, and you start to feel guilty about it? As if you’ve somehow let your journal down?
Yeah- that’s pretty much this entry.
See, the plan with starting this blog was to create/post an interesting mini-essay every day, and hopefully by the end...

The Rants of the Musically Obsessed
I love vinyl. Not just because it’s bigger than CDs, or easier to collect than digital files. Not just because it’s cheaper (you can often pick up an entire album [used, of course] for the cost of one or two songs via your favorite download service). Not just because it sounds better (yes, yes, I know that CDs offer a greater frequency range than vinyl, and therefore allow for...

(Phonetically) Hard To Handle

Sniff, sniff...
A lot of people ask me*, “What sorts of things do you think about on your spare time?” Here is an example of the sorts of things I tend to think about:
You only ever sniff the contents of the milk jug early the morning after the date printed on it, as if the milk would have mystically started turning bad at midnight, while you were asleep in your comfy bed, snuggled between your...

A Bohemians' Rhapsody: A Theory on the meaning of...
Much has been assumed about the nature of the lyrics to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”. In fact, Freddie Mercury himself, the songs’ creator, frequently stated in interviews that it was nothing more than “rhyming nonsense”. Many have disagreed, leading to several interpretations, many of which make even less sense than the lyrics themselves. I do not propose to...

The Great Flintstone/Jetson Debate
It’s long been assumed that ‘The Jetsons’ is set in a near-future, and ‘The Flintsons’ in a distant past. And on the surface, this idea certainly makes sense. However, I firmly believe that this simply is not true. Certainly, the Jetsons live in the near-future, with flying cars and sky-apartments. But why? It should be obvious, by looking at our current...

A long time ago, in a childhood far, far away…
Being a Star Wars fan is not as easy as it once was. Once upon a time, there was one movie, and we loved it, and we wanted more. Then there were two movies, and we loved them, and needed more. Then there were three movies, telling a complete story, but still we wanted more. We loved these characters, we loved this universe, and we loved hearing these stories. We loved that so much that we’d...
