I'msitting on hold with the doofuses - doofi? - at iPower, because the Moist Board is down. I downloaded the whole database as a DMP file, and I think iPower converted the online database to the same thing, which is something unreadable by the old board.  Whereas the new board has an earlier MySQL version, ...

Itried to get everything done last night, but hit some technical snafus. I went skiing today with the fam, so I've been incommunicado. The kids and their mother are all at a play - Amelia Bedilia or something - so I'm getting it all straightened out even as we speak. All the files have been ... Read more

Someof you who read this blog may not be regulars at Stallion Cornell's Moist Board, but if you click on the link provided, it may take you six months to actually see the long-running Internet home for malcontents and troublemakers. So I'm announcing that my brother-in-law is generously providing server space to accommodate the ... Read more

My wife and I went to a Who concert a little over a year ago, It was loud. Very loud. Very loud indeed, with an exceeding loudness. Mrs. Cornell would try screaming at me to say something during the show, and I couldn't hear a blessed word she said. But loud is good. Half of ... Read more

Didyou know that Ann Coulter and Al Pacino are brothers? I didn’t know it until my wife told me. She’d read it in a magazine on an airplane. So I Googled it and saw that everyone essentially already knew this, and nobody bothered to mention it overtly. I couldn’t understand why. Then I woke up. ... Read more

ASt. Patrick’s Day tidbit you may not know: I don’t know if it’s the case anymore, but for quite some time, David Letterman’s personal assistant was a Latter-day Saint. And right around every St. Patrick’s Day, word would go out around the congregations in Manhattan that Letterman tickets were available for the March 17th taping. ... Read more

Readingsome comments about Myron Felgewater’s reign of terror brought a smile to my face, even as I recalled some of the more rancid moments of my tenure under his boot. I’ve heard it said that comedy is just tragedy plus time, and that’s exactly how I feel about the Felgewater years. There’s one other moment, ... Read more

SoMrs. Cornell and I are watching The Office on DVD every night, and I realize that one of the reasons I like the show so much is that it seems to defy plausibility, but it doesn’t. It is, in many ways, frighteningly accurate. I’ve had a boss that’s every bit as awful as Michael Scott, ... Read more
