Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
Happy flippin' Friday! I had the wonderful opportunity to partake in the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event this year out in Cheese Country, USA. Below are some of the photos and videos from the event (if anything, make sure you watch the four short videos). Videos are video one, video two, and video three. Oh, nearly... Continue Reading →
... Look what they did to Artoo! I felt like I was pissing into his mouth. Separately, I stumbled across an amazing boat name: If you can't read it, it's "Wasted Seaman." Try and top that (okay that sounds worse than expected). Speaking of great names, came across another one this week: Also, came across... Continue Reading →
Happy Fourth of July everyone! I unfortunately do not have time to craft accompanying text but the following photos are pretty great:
I was out motoring when an oldie from 1982 came on that I felt I needed to share with my reader(s, if you count me): it's Goodbye to You by Scandal. The music video is incredible so take the time to watch it. I'm waiting for the day this gets released on Guitar Hero or... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! Today, we celebrate Comey's testimony and Trump's victory over democracy, so the song of the day is some good old fashioned pump-up music. It's Do You Love Me by The Contours. Your darling Disillusioned Dilettante was camping in Southeastern Ohio last week and came across some not-so progressive sites: And a new slogan for... Continue Reading →
No one liked my Robin Hood Men in Tights reference in that last post? For shame. How obscure do you need me to get?!? My references are spot on, guys. Come on! But the greater shame lies in me fucking up the song on the 73rd anniversary of D-Day. Today's song of the day is... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday to both of you. Due to time constraints, I plan to hearken back to my Germanic roots and plow through this post with unprecedented speed and efficiency. In order to pay my respects to two great nations, today's song of the day is Amerika by Rammstein. Before I forget: I'd give my virginity... Continue Reading →
I think it's time I share my talents with the world: my college roommate and I, many years ago, held the record on the Big Buck Hunter at our local Walmart. We would frequent the store simply to get Subway sandwiches followed by rounds of Big Buck Hunter near the checkout lines for up for... Continue Reading →
Wishing everyone a warm and fuzzy Cinco De Mayo. Okay, lot to cover here, so time to play ketchup. In the spirit of Mexican heritage, I'm throwing up a massive text wall. Don't like it? This posting just got 2 paragraphs longer. More than once in my life, I've been told that from time... Continue Reading →
According to Wikipedia, Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict, and conquest for 2 to 6 players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the Earth, divided into 42 territories (let's call these "American Territories To-be"), which are grouped into 6 continents. Turn rotates among players who control armies of... Continue Reading →
