Now, one of our favorite thoughtless conservative Christians, Winter Knight, is now very afraid of us nerds. Why? Because science fiction makes atheists! <cue scream>. He found a nice little article from a conservative Christian/desperate Catholic/white nationalist rag called The American Spectator from 11 years ago to support his “research”. That original article is quite … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christians afraid of science fiction

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
Just got back from The Force Awakens. We’d waited a bit to see the movie since we don’t like crowds. Alas, that didn’t help in this instance, the theatre was near full on a Monday afternoon (a US holiday). I do wish I had waited longer. It stunk like a dianoga. Spoilers are below. Yes, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
What the Boss Likes – Update, GenCon 2
Well, we’re home from GenCon. A very nice vacation and I’m exhausted. Here are some more photos of what we saw and did out in Indianapolis. If anyone sees a photo that they would like a copy of, I do still have the original digital files. I’ll probably keep those around for a few weeks. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Update, GenCon 2
From the Bar – three more wines and a cocktail of our own
Just having returned from visiting my folks, I have more wines and drinks to review. My folks are very nice folks, ordinary but nicer than most. And I find going to visit them ridiculously stressful.So, on to the new wines. My folks live in very very rural Pennsylvania. We were going to take a growler … Continue reading From the Bar – three more wines and a cocktail of our own
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before
There is much ado in the media and the interwebs lately about saying “This goes no further.” where one challenges the status quo and demands a change and where one gets resistance by those who say “there’s no real problem”. I’m involved, tangentially or directly, in several aspects of this declaration that essentially says “no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before
From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one
The movie for this week is Sharknado! No, no, I can’t even joke about that. What a purely stupid movie (yes, we watched about 15 minutes of it). Ah, if someone would have told my teen-age self that there will be a channel called the Science Fiction Channel and that I would hate it with a … Continue reading From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one
What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”. Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 2 – on aliens and things
“You know there are probably no “rocks” on Alpha Centauri since it’s a star, but maybe it has a planetary system. No aliens in the Biblical perspective because God made the earth to be inhabited and the heavens above it for His glory, not for life. Fine the extraterrestrial critter and prove that it’s not … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 2 – on aliens and things
From the Kitchen and Back Room – Did she really make fresh bao? (and beer and wine?)
Being a foodie, I love to try new things. Husband and I have been talking about going on vacation to a city with a good selection of dim sum restaurants. Being a Firefly fan, I like to try things I see on that dearly departed show. Now, I’ve a lot of experience with fresh strawberries … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Back Room – Did she really make fresh bao? (and beer and wine?)
