Giventhe frenetic pace of my life at the moment, I’m not sure how it was that I ended up watching about twenty minutes of CrossTV, an evangelical Christian television network, which was broadcasting an episode to warn most of the world that they’re going straight to hell. They cited Revelation 21:8, about how all liars ... Read more

GlenA. Larson (Arthur, Stallion_Cornell, MrPostModernist, Schnorkenschneider) posts alot of daily crap both here on Frakheads and his daily exlax inducing blog. Here are things more fun to read than anything Larson posts on the Internet. I. Glen A. Larson's divorce papers from Janet Curtis. II. Salt Lake City's zoning laws for Glen A. Larson's beer ...

Thehypocrisy in Tuesday’s Salt Lake Tribune was truly stunning to me. On the one hand, they ran a very thoughtful column by Peg McEntee, which rightfully decried the rhetorical excesses of an extremist right-wing group. Specifically, McEntee was disgusted with a video that showed a man in a rubber Barack Obama mask engaging in ... Read more

Myfirst dog was named for the narrator of Moby-Dick, a wandering soul who boards Captain Ahab’s ship and chronicles his deadly obsession with the white whale. I’ve never read Moby-Dick, and, as near as I can tell, neither has anyone else. But it’s the only book I know of, apart from scripture, that has the ... Read more

Ofno real note, this is my 500th blog post. Huzzah! As you can tell, I'm having a hard time keeping up my previous frenetic pace on this blog - I'm actually a busy guy these days - so I've asked my good friend Languatron to pinch hit for me today. More than just a fringe ... Read more

Today, the DC sniper, a Muslim extremist and sympathizer with al Qaeda, is being put to death. I remember vividly ... Read more

Inevery religious group, it’s far easier to pharisaically focus on sins that people can see and smell than it is to follow the Savior’s admonition to avoid judgment of others. I remember, back in the 1970s, that the standard of all righteousness among the LDS Pharisees was whether or not you drank Coca-Cola. I can ... Read more

Writinga host of reviews of bad shows you don’t like requires a certain amount of creativity. How do you moan, complain, and whine without sounding like you’re moaning, complaining, and whining? With GINO, the simplest way to do that was to highlight the absurdity of the series’ central claim, reiterated at the beginning of the ... Read more

Tomorrow, The Plan, the final piece of the pile that is GINO - i.e. Galactica In Name Only, will be released to the public. For whatever reason, I decided to watch the entire series from beginning to end. It wasn't very good. I will very likely watch The Plan, too, as I'm a completist, ... Read more

Thefirst people to use surfboards had big, long rough boards, but no one knew what surfing was really about until Big J. did it. Big J’s real name is Jack. People liked watching him go inside the wave and come out on his back soaking wet with cold salty water. One day I’m going to ... Read more
