The Top 10 Greatest Hoaxes of All Time

The antic host performes well over the top, but he makes it work. (Unlike a certain ham on the food channel who brings a Bozo-ness to cooking shows.) Perhaps, this fellow is the future David Letterman. Anyway, the information he shares is concise and topical. NOTE: Read Poe's THE BALLOON HOAX, which is #7 on this guy's list.

Thanks to vlogbrothers for the video.

My Parents' Arrival in Los Angeles

Mom and Dad at the Beverly Hills Hotel

My parents made their first trip to Los Angeles in 1954 the year before my birth. I was conceived in L.A., but my parents went back to Rhode Island for my birth.

NEVERMORE Extended Until Halloween

NEVERMORE Extended Until Halloween

NEVERMORE stars Jeffrey (REANIMATOR) Combs as Edgar Allan Poe at the Steve Allen Theater in East Hollywood. His authentic performance evokes the real Poe, the genius Poe, the drunk and depressed Poe.

Blog Action Day 2009 - Whining About Wine


This year's issue is CLIMATE CHANGE. I read an article yesterday about how climate change will effect the growing of food. I was particularly upset to learn the PINOT NOIR grape will eventually lose its charm. The Oregon Pinot Noir grapes are already showing signs of inferiority. The article went on to say that the best agricultural regions will move south towards the equator. So, in the future, we may have some new terrific wines from Panama or French Guiana. Maybe the old Devil's Island site will be turned into the newest Francis Coppola Winery? Well, if the old headed and ignorant continue to have their way, at least we can look forward to a glass of wine from the DEVIL'S ISLAND CLIMATE CHANGE WINERY.
