Halloween Hero

You can feel safe, folks. A mutant spider bit Little Anklevich, and he's been going around saving the whole neighborhood by removing their unhealthy candy from their houses...making sure that nobody gets fat.

"In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime, like a streak of light he arrives just in time."

Trailer Quiz

Rish Outfield and I get together with Marshal Latham and give him a quiz on the new trailer for The Force Awakens...which he hasn't seen. Listen to the episode of Delusions of Grandeur and see how he does.

Sunrise

Went to take my daughter to school, and we had this spectacular sunrise going on. It was even prettier before I started taking pictures. The red and pink drained out of it surprisingly fast.

Last Minute Gift Ideas

My wife forgot my birthday, so she had to run out and throw something together last minute. She bought me a bunch of presents from the local Walmart, one of them was a selfie stick. Who knew I'd ever own one of those? But I bet I can make it come in handy. Here's my first selfie. A little too much headroom, but better than most pictures that other people take for me.

TGMG 165: Supergirl, You'll Be A Woman Soon

New That Gets My Goat up on the feed, folks!

Rish and I both saw the "Supergirl" pilot, and want to talk about it. Warning: the S-word may be spoken . . . just don't tell the lawyers.

Rish And Fake Sean Bring Salutations

Rish Outfield pulled some strings and got the great Sean Connery to record something for me on my birthday. Wow.

Kind Of Fun

Look what I found at Target. Rish and I both bought one. The packaging calls it a USB HubMan, but I named mine Dopeman, and, completely without Rish's permission, I named his Enderman.

Dunesteef Episode 175: Ship Of Fools by David Farland (Part 2)

At long last, the second half of David Farland’s “Ship of Fools.” What has become of Erstwhyle, Baron Blunder, and Amilee. Will Prince Crydon have them to rend to pieces and stomp underfoot, or will they find some way to counter his evil magic?

Afterward, Rish and I talk about…oh, we talk about writing again. Pretty much every time, huh?

Special thanks to Renee Chambliss, Graeme Dunlop and Ben Gifford for lending their voices to the story. 

Alright, if you want to check out this episode, go listen to it on the main Dunesteef podcast feed—(EDIT: Now that the feed is gone, the only way to hear the show is over on the Dunesteef Podcast YouTube page, which I am embedding below).

I Heard A Fly Buzz—When I Died

I was about to go to bed, when a fly buzzed my ear. Had to spend the next 20 minutes stalking and killing it before I dared try to sleep. Nothing is more anathema to sleep than a house fly.

A Different World

I'm sitting in a restaurant, there is football playing on several TVs, but nobody's watching them, and there are two adult men who don't look nerdy at all loudly debating the merits of TRANSFORMERS BEAST MACHINES vs TRANSFORMERS BEAST WARS.

"It's a different world, than the one you come from."

Some Enchanted Evening

Somebody brought a box of fortune cookies in to work. Here's mine. Anyone know when full moon is?

A Little Eery

NLCS is over, and no, the Cubs did not finally defeat their demons and get into a World Series. They haven't been in one since 1945, and haven't won one since 1908.

Interesting, because there was a movie in the 80s that almost called this.

It was one of the many jokes thrown into the future segment of Back to the Future II. The Cubs swept Miami (which didn't even have a baseball team at the time) in the world series.

Well, it's now the same year as that movie's future segment, and even the same day of that year of the movie's future segment. There was a sweep that involved the Cubs, only they were the ones swept out. Poor Cubbies. Back to the Future was at least close.

Into The Future

I remember watching Back to the Future in the theater back in 1985, and that quirky ending when Doc Brown grabbed him and made him go to the future with him. They disappeared into the ether and the credits rolled, but little did I know that I was in the time machine as well. At last, I've made it. My time machine seems to take much longer to complete its journey, but here I am on Oct. 21, 2015. I made it to the future. I only wish it hadn't taken such a toll on me.

Contradiction

What will Rish Outfield do? When you combine what he loves most with what he most despises...

The headline on Tuesday's paper is going to be about the man whose head spontaneously exploded as he was watching the MNF halftime show.

Opti-Pez Prime

Look what I just discovered exists! I gotta get myself these.

 

 

Holiday Decorations

Check out the jack-o-lantern display I found at my local grocery store last night.

TGMG 164: There Can Be Only One Highlander

New episode of That Gets My Goat up!

Here's a blast from the past: it's a Dunesteef On The Move! Back in January 2014, I sat down and watched HIGHLANDER, then Rish and I took a drive to Las Vegas and talked about it. It's not a long episode; you can force yourself to make it through. Come on, you owe us that much.

You can find it on the feed now, or right-click HERE to download it. Okay, fine, last option, you can just click the play button below. Do it. Don't make me set it up so it auto-plays. You don't want that. Nobody wants that.

My Narration of "The Last Bombardment" on Pseudopod

I've got a cool, disturbing story that I got to narrate for the newest Pseudopod, "The Last Bombardment" by Kenneth Schneyer. It's really effed up. It's a shorty, part of one of their "Flash on the Borderlands" events. So, you get two other stories as well. Enjoy!

Here's the link.

Expansive

I'm pretty excited about this show. I love the books so much. I really want it to be good.

When Did Ozzy Become An Actor?

Ozzy's "Crazy Train" just played on the radio, and my wife was amazed when I told her it was Ozzy. She was just amazed that she could actually understand him when he was singing.

Of course, she really only knows him as a reality TV star. Isn't that weird? How things can change with time.

Big Batman

My son has decided he wants a super hero themed room. So my wife is going gung ho to put it together for him. This is the most recent addition. I used to scoff at these giant action figures, I mean what do you do with them? Put them on shelf I guess.

Weird Requirements

I know a girl who loves Mountain Dew, but only if it comes from a soda fountain, like at the gas station.

I love Mountain Dew Code Red, but only if it comes from a bottle or can. The soda fountain ones taste terrible, however when it comes to Dr. Pepper, which I also love, it's terrible from bottles and cans (generally low on flavor and way high on carbonation) and is only good from a soda fountain.

Pibb Extra is the same way. Anyone else have weird requirements for soda drinking like me?

Star War

My three-year-old is being a "Star War" today by holding out his hand and making me be the force that brings whatever he's holding his hand up to through the air to him.
