'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
I'm a happily married former punk rock bassist with nine cats and a job that I can tolerate. I may not rock like I used to, but at least I don't sleep in a van anymore.See? See how hard we rocked?I've been in a few other bands, of course. Here's a partial list: I began my illustrious career around '84 in the East Bay with the mighty and pungent Pillage Sunday, makers of mirth, mischief and madcap metal. And, apparently, alliteration. Little known fact: The band's formal name was "The Amazing Adventures of the Unholy Legions of the Knights of the Pillage Sunday with Hugh Beaumont and the Terry Clark Experience in the Mysterious Land of the Tricky Sticks in 3D". We just couldn't fit it on a flyer.
In San Jose, I spent time with Screamin' Vittles, Hell on Stilts, The Spitmuffins, Byproducts and Hayride!. Yes, Hayride! required an exclamation point. For good reason.
I joined The Parasites around 1995 and was formally jaded within four years. I've been boring ever since. Pass the Playstation controller.You are a: Pony !
Who doesn't love a pony? You are one of these miniature horses, renown for your beauty and desired by many. Full of grace, you are a beautiful and very special animal, full of strength and majesty.
You were almost a: Puppy or a Parakeet
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a Squirrel The Cute Animals Quiz

RIP Lula

We lost our Lula on Tuesday and I'm just now able to write about it without having an emotional episode. Sure, she was 14, but she was the matriarch and grande-dame of our home for as long as we've h...

Stunt Cats?

OK, so we went and saw the Moscow Cats Theatre over the weekend. Once I got past the clown portion of the show (neither funny nor scary), it was about the greatest goddamned thing ever. I'm prett...

On old age, Jesus, Jack Chick and the Darkness

I'm not sure exactly where "the hill" is, but I think I'm about to go over it. I don't want to turn 41, because it seems like such a nightmare. I mean, 40 was ominous enough; 41 is sort of innocu...

Per Yvonne Craig:

Chris Rose (and his effervescent S.O., Nancy) just gave me a dandy birthday present: Yes, that's really Yvonne Craig's signature. There's even photo-documentation to prove it. Her advice for me, acco...
