WrestleMania XXVIII (28 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there) will take place on April 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida. For the 7th time, Pip and I (and for the second year in a row, my brother Marko too!) will once again try to “walk that aisle” and build… The Beeramid. Since WWE announced it’s Mania main event the day after last year’s show (Rock vs. John Cena for those not paying attention), I figured … Continue reading
So we were down at the lake the other night. We got together to celebrate Pop’s birthday and we decided to go with a nice evening at the lake so the boys could swim. We ordered pizza to be delivered at the lake, the weather was beautiful and life was grand. Unfortunately before we got a chance to eat our pizza, Mother Nature screwed us just as she did the last time we were down … Continue reading
There’s been quite a few shows and movies about zombies over the years but I have to say there have been none better than The Walking Dead which recently wrapped its first season on AMC. If you haven’t seen it I’d highly recommend you check it out. Even though it’s on TV, it’s not for the squeamish or faint of heart. You’ve been warned. And while it’s a tremendous show it pales in comparison to … Continue reading

WrestleMania XXVI will take place on March 28th in Arizona. I’m happy to say that after working through some logistical issues, Pip and I will once again renew our Beeramid tradition! As with years past, we have created these “rules of engagement” which will help us to construct that glorious structure. The last time Pip and I got together we came dangerously close to “one night one case” and I’m thinking March 28th just may … Continue reading
While all children are different, there is one universal truth when it comes to being a parent… you’re going to change dirty diapers. If you think you’re going to get out of it you’re sorely mistaken. A’s with the boys for the majority of the week on her own so when it comes to the weekend I really do try and do my best to pitch in with diaper duty (and everything else). So when … Continue reading
In 1980 the face of horror movies changed. We were introduced to Camp Crystal Lake and a killer named Jason Voorhees (yes, I know that Jason’s mother was the killer in the original… stick with me). From 1980 to 2003, we were given 11 sequels that took Jason from Crystal Lake to deep space, New York City and even to Hell. After nearly 30 years it was time for this franchise to get rebooted… apparently. … Continue reading
Pip and I get together every year (just about) and celebrate our geekdom by watching the “Grandaddy of them all” – WrestleMania. For those of you that don’t know, this is the WWE’s flagship show and marks the end of the wrestling “season” if there was such a thing. It’s the culmination of story lines that have been going on for quite a while and it’s always the event that is seen by most households. … Continue reading
