Duck Goes Moo!

Harvey Pekar of comic world fame was found dead in his Cleveland home this morning.  He was 70 years old.

My friend Mike was nice enough to invite me down to Cuba, MO to his parent’s lake house and to watch the fireworks out on the lake.  I managed to take some nice pictures, but they fail to capture the absolute awesomeness of it all.

I also did some experiments with some long exposure times and wiggling the camera:

This is not a trolley...

Dear Metrobus,

This is not a trolley.  Just because you paint your buses to look like a cartoonish mockery of a trolley does not make it a trolley.

“The #99 Downtown Trolley features a whimsical and colorful wrap that transforms buses into trolleys,” said Dianne Williams, director of communications at Metro.

No… no it does not.

Still, I guess I am glad that they are expanding the public transportation in STL.

I’d rather have real trolleys though…

Local entertainer and MC, Clownvis, recently appeared on “America’s Got Talent” and served the judges, in my opinion, a much needed ribbing.  They didn’t let Clownvis sing any Elvis songs because of copyright issues, and really the crowd didn’t give him a chance to get into his act before they started booing because they are an empty minded, shallow, impatient bunch of haters.  Really, I hate this show, and I loved Clownvis taking on the pompous, overly worshiped judges with a frank bit of deflating humor.

Really, who is that British guy?  Seriously?  No one I know knows who he is.  “His worst nightmare”?  What?  You’re nothing, buddy, and your show is another redundant bit of clap trap.  Huzzah and hooray for Clownvis for showing the emperor has no clothes.
