Elvira’s Movie Macabre Is Back!
20, Oct 2010Apparently Elvira is still around, doing her thing. Her thing? Elvira’s Movie Macabre is back on the air on a station near you. It’s her late night monster/horror movie show that she hosts. I used to watch it all the time. It’s running on Saturday nights in the Los Angeles area on Channel 56.1. Find [...]
Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly?
12, Oct 2010It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Back to the Future came out in theaters, but that’s how long it’s been. It’s equally hard to believe that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly. Watch the short video for clips of the 5 weeks that they shot with Stoltz. Back to the [...]

I Had A Skate Bike
11, Mar 2010Who had one of these? No one? I was reminded today of the Max Skate Bike. My dad came home from work with one of these one day. Apparently someone was riding one of these down in Belmont Shore where his barber shop was located. They probably sold them at Jones Bicycle, which is why [...]
Musical Youth: Pass the Dutchie
20, Nov 2009I don’t know if I spelled the that right, but it doesn’t matter. This was one of those great songs from the past. It came up tonight, for some reason, when recording the latest episode of Fat 2 Fit Radio. What the hell is a dutchie?

Poll Results: 80′s Heathers & Van Halen Front Men
13, Oct 2009A while back, I asked for opinions on a couple important topics. #1, Which 80′s Heather did you find most attractive? This one will have to go unresolved. It is probably more accurate to say 50% of you are wrong! Poll #2 asked your opinions on Van Halen lead singers. I thought I could guess [...]
Locklear vs. Thomas: Which 80′s Heather?
8, Jun 2009I remember having this conversation in junior high school. It may go back as far as elementary school. This was an important question! I have my opinion that hasn’t changed since “back in the day”, but I’d like yours. If you’re offended, fine, leave a comment. But you should still vote, otherwise this could go [...]
Little Known Naval History
2, Mar 2009Instead of sending this out via e-mail, I thought I’d post it to the blog here. If it makes me laugh, then maybe it will give you a small chuckle. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but funny none the less. Enjoy! ———————————————————————————– Little Known Naval History The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides), [...]
