Harry In Your Pocket
If you're persistent enough, you can find movies on Amazon Prime that are older than my kids. I've been plumbing the depths of Amazon Prime and stumbled into a genre I've never really watched, forgettable James Coburn movies (so most James Coburn movies). I recently...
The Last Band of the Apocalypse’s Merch Table
Caught between state fair gigs when the bombs went off, a struggling cover band soon found itself the last band in the world. With this dramatic shift in market forces, they decided to cast off their pre-end moniker and rebrand themselves as Harmeggedon, the most...
Star Wars: The Hallway
This is brilliant. At some point there was a brainstorm at Hasbro where they determined that there couldn't possibly be a character, vehicle, setting or moment left from Star Wars that wasn't already a toy. Then someone, probably a smarmy young upstart trying to make...
What I’m Reading: Make Room Make Room
I love a good dystopian tale. I also love reading things in Charlton Heston's voice. So I am looking forward to finally reading the book that inspired Soylent Green. Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison. In 1798 Thomas Malthus published his Essay on the Principle...

The riddle of plastic is finally answered
"Conan, what is best?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!" Why was this never a kids' toy? I no longer have the available shelf space nor the disposable income to play with toys the way I used to. And for...
What I’m Reading: Pyramids by Terry Pratchett
I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I didn’t discover the Discworld books until just a couple of years ago. And since there’s 40 something of them, I’ve got a way to go. I jumped around for a bit at first and read some Death books and the City Watch novels. But I’ve...

The Mammoth Flautist
The modern-day flautist gets a bad rap, probably. The flute has a light sound. It’s small. True. it’s no more phallic than some of the other instruments, but having to make that kissy face the whole time doesn’t help. And in Peter...
Meet Detective Karen
I’m working on a new character named Detective Karen. You probably know her already. She pops up all the time on social media whenever there is a local crime and cracks the case using insight that rivals Poirot, Lansbury, or a three-year-old that is rocking back and...
New suffixes for a better world
The Pirahã live along the Maici River in the Amazon and speak one of the world’s most unique languages. One thing that distinguishes the language from others is that their suffixes modify their statement to explain how they attained the knowledge they are conveying....
Some choice SPAM
I loved it when my SPAM has a hint of international intrigue. I was happy to see this because I'm getting tired of the dying widows in Oklahoma leaving me their mineral rights. Forget that Signoino means young boy. Forget that crimes of international commerce are...

28 Quick Book Reviews
It's been a little while since I've posted what I've been listening to on Blinkist. I was all set to post something last week but then the world fell apart. I know...excuses, excuses. I am enjoying the format. It's like a podcast minus the inane banter and CBD ads. I...
A message to Benjamin Wallace Books customers
A message to Benjamin Wallace Books customers At Benjamin Wallace Books, our first concern is your safety right after the concern that crabs may form an unholy alliance with lobsters and crab walk out of the ocean to form a crustacean caliphate that we should all live...

Forget the body. Save the brain.
When it comes time to freeze a loved one, you have a very important decision to make. Do you freeze the whole body or just the brain? At KrioRus, you can freeze a whole body for $36k. But it’s only $15k to freeze the brain. That’s a pretty substantial savings. And,...
Here There Be Lizard Men
I’ve got an ad running right now that shows an ICBM launch. As it travels, the narrator reads the first line of my book, “Even a mushroom cloud has a silver lining.” [video width="1280" height="720"...
The Greatest Star Wars Playset Never Sold
The coolest Star Wars playset I had wasn't the Death Star. It wasn't the remote control Sandcrawler. It didn't even come from Kenner. It came from the November 1978 issue of Woman's Day Magazine. I'm talking about the Outer-Space Station. It looked like Logan's Run...
Bear the Dog in the Woods
Bear the Dog is not the fiercest of beasts. She’s half Mastiff, half Lab and at least 30% coward. She is afraid of luggage—especially wheeled luggage—backpacks and packages. Therefore, she hates anyone that brings these to our door. Amazon, UPS and the post office all...
