Loading ...Dissecting the Star Trek Utopia
May 15th
Ever wonder how the Star Trek society overcame corporations, human greed and competition? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because the society evolved to no longer need it. I’m guessing that the first transporters were used to do away with all of the capitalists and staunch individuals who just weren’t “down” with the vision of a one world government.
Then came the conflict with Khan in the Eugenics Wars, then absolute poverty on a planetary scale, the nuclear war, and then First Contact with Vulcan. And the video below from Cracked gets it pretty much right.

Apr 25th
My four-year-old boy asked me why he couldn’t eat candy before bedtime. Without really thinking about it, I explained that the Cavity Monsters would eat the sugar off his teeth and put holes in them. This shocked the boy. “Are cavity monsters good guys?” he asked. He is always concerned with the moral alignment of good versus evil and he wanted to be sure he is on the right team. “They are very bad guys,” I explained who stomp around chanting “WE MAKE HOLES IN TEETH! WE MAKE HOLES IN TEETH!” So I had to pull up the cartoons from the late ’70s and explain to him who the Cavity Creeps are.
So Cartney went to bed and brushed his teeth better than ever and when he hung up his tooth brush he declared “Cavity Creeps all dead!”

The Nacelle Belles of ’42
Apr 23rd
Just wrapped up the birthday party of my boy’s 86-Year-Old Great Grandmother. We had bacon-wrapped meatloaf, potatoes, and a cheesecake dessert. We sipped 21 YO Scotch and listened as Granny regaled us with tales of impromptu trips to Tijuana from Long Beach in the 40′s. She would meet up to go dancing with sailors and somehow found her way south of the Border hours later, where her boyfriend was thrown in jail for assaulting the locals. Also found out that her mother, “Granny-Lou” was a riveter at the Douglas factory in Long Beach.
No, this isn’t Granny-Lou. But thanks to Shorpy for helping spur some great conversations!

I’m a big fan of the movie 500 Days of Summer and also love the Sid and Nancy movie. Here is Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt mashing up a key scene in both movies with some fantastic acting tossed in. Don’t know how I missed this vid when the movie came out a couple of years ago.

Apr 17th
I lent my four-year-old my MacBook Air and allowed him to go down his own YouTube content rabbit-hole and I had to intervene when he somehow stumbled on the recommended video of this guy who has a face that looks like its melting off a candle. And when the Doc mentioned the dude’s brain was protruding into his eye socket, Cartney got a tad bit distressed. I had to pause the video and explain about all kinds of birth defects, accidents, and other factors that would make someone look deformed.
Cartney was distressed for a while about this man’s disability until I pointed out how he still managed to marry a beautiful woman, and was still liked by his friends in the gym. Cartney was encouraged by that, but still distinctly worried about the man’s surgical success.

Eric Cantor Wants His Chick-Fil-A
Apr 10th
The Northern Va and DC areas are quickly becoming huge fans of food trucks. Even Virginia’s Representative Eric Cantor (his press office, actually) is wondering where his favorite food truck is?
Off The Beaten Path – Chick-Fil-A Food Truck Launch Pushed Back ow.ly/abzd9 #DC #Bummer
— Cantor Press (@CantorPress) April 10, 2012
And the Chick-Fil-A Food Truck does look pretty awesome, but there won’t be any wafflefries.
From NBC Washington here:
There’s some disappointing news on the food front, too: The truck will have no waffle fries, no sweet tea and no lemonade. However, it will be serving sandwiches, nuggets, brownies and soda. Oh, and salads. (Meh. We mean… oh! That’s great!)
And they have a Food Truck Twitter feed here.

Apr 8th
From black and white footage in 1974. So much of what he says is true, including that it allows anyone to live anywhere they wish, although that concept is arriving a bit slower.
Clarke also forgot to mention that those mutton chops would show up again in the late 90′s. Thanks go to:

Tow Truck drivers typically steal cars for parking violations or for lack of payment. But when you need help getting off an Alpine road? The tow truck driver will dump you down the ravine and jump out like a boss.
Either that, or you shouldn’t hire Asian tow truck drivers.

A Lazy Saturday Night. The boy and I are building towers of terror for unsuspecting Lego employees while I rebuild a laptop I had lying around with Ubuntu.
My son is telling me about the casualties of his tower of terror. Seems that the bodies get dragged to the cemetery by an ambulance where they turn into skeletons and then dirt.

I saw this over at DuckDuckGrayDuck- and while I don’t normally pack a suit this does indeed look to be like the best way to do it. My idea of just rolling things up and stuffing it into used Pringles cans may not be the best.

I took the boy to see Monster Trucks up close and personal at the Verizon Center in DC. It was all fine and fun until the trucks really started revving their engines. The noise was too much and too scary for the lad and we had to leave early without seeing what we actually paid to go see. **SIGH** maybe in a couple of more years….
