Since it's that most Wonderful time of the year, I thought I would take a few moments to wax nostalgic and share with you some great Christmas film of by-gone days. So, get a warm cup of cocoa and a blankie and let Internet Mom share some holiday gold with you.
In 1972 a musical version of A Christmas Carol came out called Scrooge. It starred Albert Finney and was played for years on TV in heavy rotation, much like A Christmas Story is now. I love this version for the fun of it all. One of the…

Now I know, it's not even October yet, but now is the time to start thinking about what you want to be for Halloween.
I use to make my nieces and nephews start choosing at this time to get them all made in time but since they're all grown I'm turning my attention to all my Spill Kids, not that I'm going to make costumes for all of you, though I wish I could but I thought you like to take a look at what's new and hot this year:

Recently on LEOG, we've had a very spirited discussion on cartoon shows. A lot of ground got covered but mostly from the 1970's to now. I have to admit that the 1960's were a deluge of Hanna Barbara. But what I'd like to show all you hip kids out there are some of the show I used to watch as a kid outside the range of your average half hour cartoon show. These shows were locally produced with the exception of Captain Kangaroo and were hosted by adults playing characters. The last show I remember…

Chapter 20
The Rains Came
Korey shivered as a cool breeze blew across the large gravel roof of the theatre. He was sitting on the far side of the old air conditioner as he listened for the sound of anyone coming across the roof. He worried about his friends being caught when a loud crash echoed in the night.
“Korey, where are you?” Carlyle’s voice called out.
“I’m over here,” he replied, rising and walked over to his friends.
“Anything up here we can use to barricade the door?” Cyrus asked l…

Chapter 18
Bait and Switch
“What the hell you mean by bait? I’m not playing the sucker for anyone!” Korey stormed back into the house followed by the others. He went to the den and leaned against the desk, his eyes on fire as Marvin entered, followed by the others.
“Let me explain, Korey. Maybe bait wasn’t the best term to use…”
“Damn straight it wasn’t! You’d better explain yourself old man or I’m out of here. Think I’d rather take my chances with the monsters, robots, and zombies whatever a…

Chapter 15
Be a Hero to Yourself
Marvin pushed the door to his den opened and quickly laid Carlyle down on the couch and carefully removed the band from around his forehead.
“Oh my…” Leon felt a wave of shock roll over him as he saw several small wires sticking out of Carlyle’s head. He turned away as Cyrus and Korey entered the room followed by Edie who brushed past them carrying the worn carpetbag.
“Son of a ….what did they do to him? Cyrus squeaked as Marvin propped Carlyle’s head so it wa…

Chapter 12
Safe Haven
Marvin T. Crankshaft lived in one of the older neighborhoods of Austin. His house was one of the many fine Victorian homes that were favored by the well heeled of Austin’s early days.
Inside the house, Marvin whipped off the elaborate robe, tossing it onto a nearby chair in the modern décor living room which seemed out of place with the rest of the house. Carefully, he placed the staff across the arms of the same chair as Leon and Korey did their best to help Cyrus to the…

Chapter 9
Death of a Critic
It was about the same time that Talos had captured Carlyle; Korey was fumbling for the keys to his apartment as he stood out the door. Trying to juggle the grocery bags, keys and mail was too much for him. He muttered something incoherent as he put the bags down and slipped the key into the lock, letting himself in.
Putting the bags down in the kitchen, he glanced over at the answering machine. More calls than he wanted to deal with and forget about the email overlo…

Chapter 7
Into The Dragon’s Lair
Carlyle rolled over and gazed at the alarm clock with blurred vision. He hadn’t planned on sleeping half the day, but with the amount of work he punched out over the last four days he deserved a long rest.
Reluctantly he got himself out of bed and into the shower. The warm water slowly bringing his reluctant body back to life as he lingered, letting the water wake him fully.
His smugness revealed itself in the mirror as he combed out his stringy brown hair. H…

Chapter 4
Sweet Revenge
Late Sunday night, the Nomad Bar was quiet. No more than a dozen people were scattered about the room. A booth in a far corner of the room buzzed as the boys once again went over the long weekend in Las Vegas.
Korey’s tired voice once again pleaded for an explanation.
“Cyrus, how in hell could you have gotten everything so fouled up? A suite at the Mirage? Man, we show up there, no reservation! You call that chump friend of yours and he picks us up in a truck?”
“Guess…
