“Gitchey Boo, Gitchey Bon! Gitchey Goo, Gitchey Gone!

Boo Stew by Donna L. Washington

by Leave a Comment

Boo Stew is probably not a dish you wish served cold, hot or at all! Curly Locks might have a good heart, and a passion for cooking, but her ingredients are a bit, unique, to say the least. The townsfolk of Toadsuck Swamp know that you do not even have a nibble of a creation by Curly Locks. Yet, one day one of her dishes go missing from her windowsill, and town is being bulled by Scares (who Curly Locks has never paid too much […]

Their costumes are made of cardboard, but their hearts are made of gold

The Cardboard Kingdom V02 Roar of the Beast by Chad Sell

cbr13bingo Gateway  (This (so far two book) graphic novel series is one that I am not a huge fan of, but I know they are good for today’s readers. They introduce modern subjects (GLBTQ related) but also the classics like bullies and friendship issues.

I wish I had cracked it open the […]

Then one day, they meet another family in need of a stroller, and that now-not-so young baby, tells them to take […]

Don’t tell him I got it half price

Thanks For The Money by Joel McHale

by Leave a Comment

Joel McHale is on the freebies list along with Bret McKenzie and Donald Glover; when he came to a local comedy festival I was 112% in,  and was in no way disappointed. I liked him before, but after he made several consecutive pyramid scheme jokes with the local royalty behind Amway IN ATTENDANCE, I can say it blossomed into love.  It was a thing of beauty; like the rake gag from The Simpsons it started funny, got tedious, then cycled back to hilarity again. I […]
