I was out walking for an afternoon break, and I happened upon another wounded butterfly. This time, the victim was a Mourning Cloak Butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa), which has a vast range across both America and Europe. It wasn’t keen on being examined, but the damage was heavy: the right forewing …
This, my friends, is a giant guitar squid. Playing baseball with a whiffle bat. I was at the Peelander-Z show at the 7th Street Entry last night. I’d never heard one whit of their music before, but I handed over $12 simply because I heard that they play one hell of …

A new episode is live, in which Paul and I hold down the fort and discuss things like Everclear. The Geek Life, Episode 151: With a Bat on It
