With the primary voting for the Presidential hopefuls starting next week, things are looking bleak for the United States of America. On the Democrat side you have Hillary Clinton (who’s petering out like she did in 2008) and Bernie Sanders (who couldn’t possibly accomplish 75% of his ridiculous agenda). On the Republican side you have Marco (Establishment Whipping Boy) Rubio, Ted (Never Gonna Get The Party’s Approval) Cruz, and the heir apparent: Donald (What The Eff Is Wrong With This Country) Trump. Bleak, my friends, very bleak. Donald Trump recently…

The Catalogers of Time: The Library of Alexandria
The Catalogers of Time Series started with the incident at Fort Phantom Hill and then continued with the fiery demise of Polonus Vorstius. Today we find the Smithsonian’s Historical Discovery Unit in a state of flux. Inter-personal strife and technical set backs have put the future of this costly operation in jeopardy. They need to prove that the exorbitant cost of their division will bear valuable fruit for the Smithsonian Institute. The Library of Alexandria “More coffee!” Mr. Simon hollered across the lab to an intern as he used a microfiber cloth…
My Relationship Status with Anime: Friends With Benefits #anime
Anime: A word that frightens some, amazes many, and confuses the rest. It is the short term for Japanese Animation, essentially cartoons. Unlike most western cartoons which are primarily aimed at children (with some notable exceptions), Anime can be focused on all audiences from children to adults, with most of the titles falling somewhere between the late-teenager to adult audience. What separates Anime from most other animation around the world is the quality of the animation, the complexity of the narrative and the inherent cultural differences between Japan and the rest…
Case of the Mondays #ChinUp
Those of us still in the work grind can relate to this one true and simple fact: we dread Mondays. Especially after a less than optimal weekend, the prospect of going back to work can seem like insult to injury. However, instead of wallowing in my “Case of the Mondays” I have chosen to express myself in humorous memes stolen from other people on the Internet. Enjoy! And because it gave me a sensible chuckle: No matter what you have going on in your life, whether Monday is the…
Doctor Strangehair: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Male Pattern Baldness
Hair today, gone tomorrow: Fact: I have been struggling on a very personal and emotional level, for going on over a decade now. Always in a constant and bitter war, one that I have been forever destined to lose… against my hair. Born with naturally thin and flighty hair, I stood on fairly shaky ground to begin with, but somewhere in my mid twenties, my hair started to evacuate my scalp much like rats deserting a sinking ship. My hair has always been a bit of an enigma. As a…
Coming Soon: Titanic #Bonus #Trump #Palin
I wasn’t gonna do this one (low hanging fruit and whatnot), but then I did and it’s ugly as sin (as it should be), but I thought the message really said all it needed to: Trump + Palin = Titanic the unsinkable ship that… well, sank. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Trump, so thanks Sarah “nail-in-the-coffin” Palin! I was ready for Trump to disappear sooner than later anyway. Bonus, I made sure they both had “O” faces, because tragic love and so on and so forth… Coming Soon: …
Coming Soon: Hillary Clinton in Concussion #Helmet #Concussion
I know… I said I was going to go somewhere in the middle this week, but then I came across the poster for the Will Smith film Concussion, and then I thought… you know who would be excellent in that movie? Hillary Clinton. She already has the football helmet, might as well have the movie too! So without further adieu, Nerfed Llamas presents their soon to be smash blockbuster multiple Oscar winning drama: Concussion starring ol’ Secretary Breaks Her Head. Coming Soon: NB4 someone comments about the crappy cg/paint job,…
The Day After the Party #ShortScript #OriginalFiction
Back around 2006, my friend Bobby and I were heavily into the idea of being the next generation of filmmakers. We thought we would be Rodriguez and Tarantino 2.0. Flash forward to 10 years later and we both still have our dreams and ambitions, we both just go after them in different ways now. But back then, we tried to do a lot of things together from writing, to filming and going to the movies (for research of course!). We liked to write scripts, whether short or long, and then trade…
Twenty Tunes Terrific for Tuesday – Vol. 7 #120Minutes #TTTT #Bonus
I watched a lot of TV in the late 80s and early 90s, but perhaps none more religiously than the MTV late night video series: 120 Minutes. Created by Dave Kendall, 120 Minutes was a 2 hour show that was designed to showcase alternative music at a time when many of the artists featured were struggling to find an audience. Whereas mainline MTV was showing mostly top 40 pop hit music videos (yes there exists a time in history when MTV actually showed music videos the majority of the day),…
Coming Soon: Jurassic Fart #FeeltheBern
I went a little right last week, so I’ve decided to course correct by veering left this week. Perhaps I’ll go straight down the middle next week to maintain an even keel. I went after the low hanging fruit this time, and by fruit… I of course mean everyone’s favorite perpetual epic bed head champion and socialist: Bernie Sanders! Bernie is not content to just be running for President of the United States of America – he’s making a movie too! Catch a first peek at the official poster for…
