  Because the Kino guys are looking back at CA, I've been getting back into Channel Awesome. In their heyday, I looked up to these guys.  Today, I actually pity most of them.  They've shown their true colors, and I don't find them appealing.   Spoony refuses to do anything but tweet.  Angry Joe is not even close to being himself and is just getting larger than Jupiter.  Linsey Ellis is afraid of her SJW fans attacking her and avoids her old CA character.  Film Brain is hanging on by a thread and still refuses to get a real job.  I think Todd in the Shadows is doing okay.   The videos below were from a series called "Spooning with Spoony".  It would be CA characters waking up in bed with Spoony, some knowingly, others unknowingly.  That has aged well, given that some content creators are a bit creepy.  Internet humor was a little too edgy back then, huh?   BTW, I found these over on KF in the Linsey folder....

 I just wanted to give the content creator a shoutout.  I've been following this Dan Markel case for a very long time, and I've been fascinated with it.  The Adelson family is made up of truly evil people.  You have a mother who involves herself in every aspect of her children's lives.  Remember, Donna Adelson helped pick out dates for her daughter on a dating website and pretended to be her in documents.   Charlie is probably someone who would have popped up on To Catch a Predator, in my opinion.  Other than paying for a murder, he has done some really terrible things.  I still believe he did something awful to a family member, and Donna knew about it.   Just my opinion.  Charlie is someone that should never see the light of day, but he might get a deal if he turns on his sister.   Below is a video that goes deep, pun intended, into the would strange brother and sister relationship between them.  Would I share a...

  This is so strange.  Seeing the Cheers set filmed in a realistic approach is a sight to behold.  The Cheers cast members seem meaner and ruder than their sitcom versions.  While both shows share a universe, the Cheers guys are not as funny.  St. Elsewhere is a drama, and Cheers is a comedy.   The Cheers set is fuller in this episode than it is on the actual show.  I loved seeing the TNG crew walking around the DS9 sets with their brighter lighting and music.  Seeing the dramatic lighting and extra...extras is an interesting side look at the Cheers set.   By the way, this crossover happened early in the Cheers series.  They mention Coach, who died later in the series.    The St. Elsewhere cast just stops by the Cheers bar, has their chat, and moves on.  The Cheers crew cameos and moves on.  Elsewhere just passes through.  I had completely forgotten about this crossover.   Did you know Mickey ...

  I always thought the F-word meant a cigarette in the UK.  And there are links to the word, which is connected to the old term "a bundle of sticks".  I never knew it also meant a British-style meatball.  I did a "wait, what?" It's a real name for British meatballs .   Given it is 2026, it is a bit jarring to hear with my sensitive ears.  My 1990s ears give me a chuckle.  

  The Knightfall comic series was the story that got me into comic books in the 90s, that and the death of Superman.  In the 90s, DC went dark, really dark.  They pushed, destroyed, and rebuilt their iconic characters just to see what they were made of.  During this era, DC's heroes looked different after they were torn down.  What kind of person are you when they strip away everything?  Are you still the person you were before the fall? The Knightfall series brought Batman to his knees, literally.  Bane broke Batman physically and mentally.  With his back broken, Bruce had to step down from Batman.  Another, darker Batman had to take over.  After the new Batman went crazy, Bruce and his team had to take down the new Batman.  This new DC animated series has me worried.  The comic book story is great, but can we trust DC animation after The Killing Joke and Hush versions?  They made major changes that severely harmed the ov...

There comes a point when you become the enemy of the Internet. While being mocked and memed, I've never seen someone this "bull-headed".    I've been watching the fast decline of the Quartering.  After GG, I used to watch him, but he's changed over the years.  He has become the very thing he hated.  He flagged down a couple of channels and has turned into Zoe Quinn. He doesn't fulfill his promises and has flagged his critics.  He's grifting on that Christian thing, and it's boring.  He was never a religious person and was a bit of a gooner.  He can't help himself.   Once he drifted away from culture war, video games, and pop culture, he lost his way. He started to get into being a mouthpiece for Trump.  His audience changed to a boomer crowd.  I guess you can call it boomer-maxing.  Now, he is trying to move toward the race-baiting grift.   It appears he is selling his house and selling a lot of his consumer...

  Bryan wanted to make sure they felt the pain.  He went into that house to take down one woman, I believe.  He went there for Maddy, a very attractive and bright girl.  She represented everything he hated about women growing up.  He went upstairs and killed Maddy first, and then beat the living shit out of Kaylee.  This seems like he was angry with Kaylee being there.  He took it out on her.  Kaylee was never part of the plan.  His two other victims were not part of the plan either.   Even when he got back to work as a teacher's assistant, he couldn't keep his hatred toward women at bay.  He kept being strange and creepy, and the college fired him.   This is the thing about this case: I know some of the reasons he did the things he did. Not the murders.  But I have some of the same social setbacks.  I am not comfortable with women and often come across as rude and self-centered.  For me, I embraced my...

The crazy thing is that both these guys are now dead before their time.  And, I can't really watch the video of Belzer getting choked out.  It is part of the lore of Belzer and Hogan.  Both of them have had huge impacts on pop culture.   This video gives you a lot of insight into the lore behind the incident.  Belzer was the host of some shitty talk show on Lifetime.  Keep in mind that Lifetime aired reruns of Homicide: Life on the Streets, which co-starred Richard Belzer.  I watched most of the Homicide episodes on Lifetime.   It seems Mr. T was having a bad day, and Hogan was being Hogan.   You have Hogan, a racist liar, Mr. T, a crazy man, and Belzer, a strange comedian.  Mr.T and Hogan have had a long relationship.  They both were in Rocky III.  Hogan guest-starred in The A-Team.   Mr. T would appear at many WWE and WCW events alongside Hogan.  Heck, Mr. T showed up on Hogan's debut on WCW...
