Friday the 13th Part XIII: Jason Takes the BQE
Have you ever walked under a ladder cradling a black cat with an open umbrella in your other hand and a dirty rabbit’s foot in your back pocket? Have you ever stepped on a crack on the sidewalk while whistling at night? Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale fluorescent lights of [...]
The End of the Beginning is The End
Here we are, the last few days of the next to last year of ALL EXISTENCE, as the Mayans will be showing up to wreck next years Holiday plans with obnoxious behavior and meteors. And look! Awwww, sweet lil’ Baby New Year is getting ready to be born. He’s all “goo goo ga ga apocalypse [...]

Old Nick Back Up to Old Tricks
Sweet Poseidon! It appears we are all still here, having survived the weekender to rule all weekenders. You’d think we’d settle into some kind of lull and have a nice quiet week of tea biscuits, lullabys and root beer tastings, but this is New York and the action continues until we die, and after…so yes, [...]
