According to the author of this article Dodge as a brand will soon be gone. Somehow I don’t think so. The phrase “Chrysler Ram Tough” just doesn’t sound right. And what would they do with all of those “If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it!” bumper stickers?
There are some brands that probably could [...]
Texas and Oklahoma have their annual “Red River Shootout” that takes place in the Cotton Bowl here in Dallas. Georgia and Florida have their own annual meeting. A recent panel of sportswriters briefly discussed whether this was a good idea, and whether there should be more of these “neutral site” games. Some of them even [...]
A few days ago I posted a YouTube link to a child talking about Star Wars. It’s cute. And then I found this, which is a parody of the same video.

I have some sentimental favorites that I hope do [...]
There was an announcement from Rome yesterday. It seems that there are now seven new and exciting ways to go to that really, really. hot place and hobnob with Hitler, Stalin, and Barney. It seems that you don’t have to rely only on Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Wrath, and Pride to punch your ticket [...]
One of the original Dungeon Masters has passed today. Gary Gygax was an inspiration to many and the game he co-created touched people far and wide. I started playing in 1980. I kept playing through college and beyond. I met some really great people along the way, and remain friends with many. I even have [...]
