Re: A Nightmare in Red.

Well my trip to the amusement park was pretty good. I left my RV parked at a... uh... 'seaside' hotel that I was using as a base of operations, and used my electric scooter to get around. No other traffic on the roads than parked cars made for some easy driving, and the lot was fairly open. Sure all...

Re: A Nightmare in Red.

Sorry for the delay in putting down the next part but lately I've been needing to watch the sun rise. Especially considering the place I came from doesn't HAVE a sun. Yeah I know I saw a sun rising in the east on my first 'day' there but that's only my first impression. Let me continue and elaborate...

A Nightmare in Red.

I've had some strange experiences in my misbegotten adventures but this one has got to be the strangest of them all. It was about six months ago I was with the whole group dealing with a cult in Anaheim. I mean the entire group. You'd think that with so many of the group all in one place they wouldn...

I had a chance to speak with some real tech-savvy guys lately on behalf of this topic. Now keep in mind I'm more of a hardware kind of guy while Groucho, Gummo, Zeppo, Chico, Harpo and Manny are Software sorts. They make their money doing Indie games while hacking places like the pentagon for fun. S...

Re: Hypothetical Scenario

Well I'm not saying it would defeat it. Just that we have something in our favor when it happens.

Like maybe throwing a cage full of Gremlins at it.

Granted that'd be like extinguishing an oil fire with the concussive blast of dynamite but it's something.

Re: Hypothetical Scenario

It is a pretty scary thought but we have one thing on our side. Artificial intelligence is no match against natural stupidity. Everything we make, everything we create, no matter how clever or powerful is flawed because we are deeply flawed beings. Failure isn't an option because it's a feature. A f...

Eight reasons I hate this job

Hello again. Sorry for not being online in a while people but I've been off-grid for a bit. The people I work with have been dragging me all over hell's half acre checking out leads on a few things... sometimes it feels like the literal Hell's Half Acre too. For example...

My suggestion? Do the priest thing (Whatever faith you practice)... but don't tell him you want an exorcism or your house is haunted. Tell him that you have been meaning to have your home blessed for some time. That it's a family tradition of yours that any home that your family have moved into must...

Order of the Celestial Oracle

Ladies and gentlemen of the Lazlo Forum. On occasion my friends and I wind up lending our services to a friend who's regularly hired by distraught families to 'retrieve' family members from harmful cults. Most often these are very straight forward things. Our added manpower and resources bolster the...

We have to realise that what we hear and what actually happened can be two very different things.

A monsterous Dead-end.

An odd case started late last fall when I was working in my garage pounding out the dents in a Police Cruiser. (The local authorities and I have an understanding. They look the other way when give cars the specs of street racers and I give them discounts in repair work with their own cars.) And in w...

I just love to take much-underestimated vehicles and boost their performances as much as I can.

And if you think my Green Machine is something special, you should see what my VW Beetle can do.

I know this might be a stupid idea but if that arm was 'on' in one frame of the video and 'off' in the next maybe you have bigger problems than something that can slip in and out of reality or is cloaked.
