Congratulations to the 2019 class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, headed up by Def Leppard. They won the fan vote by more than a hundred thousand votes.

Are there other folks here that quilt? Let's see 'em! Ideas? Hints? Tips? Favorites? Anything quilty?

Check out this quilt somebody made of Sai King's book covers. I didn't make it, I wish I'd thought of it. I wonder... does the issue of copyright come up when it comes to using book covers like this? How would a person get permission to do that? Or do they even need to?

Unca Stevie doesn't think writer's notebooks are a good idea. He says that bad ideas hang around there in print, while good iteas don't need any help hanging around. And, with his history in the sport, it's hard to argue the point. Me, though, I must disagree. Sai King is lucky enough to have a...

The world just got a whole lot stupider.

I recently read Joe Hill's first short in Strange Weather, Snapshots. It's quite good, but something's nagging at me. I've read it before. I don't remember the words, exactly, but I remember the imagery. The old lady in the rain coat. The fat kid and the man with the Caddy at the gas station...

I'm a little late to the game when it comes to watching The Mist on Netflix, so I decided to go ahead and load it up. I'm familiar with both the book and the movie, so I went in hoping for good things. I watched just over 2 minutes and turned it off. When the very first thing a show does is...

'Tis the season for Les Bontemps to Rouller! We're warming up our bead-throwing arms, preparing to catch 'em with our faces, and King Cakes abound. It's not just a parade down here, it's the spirit of how people live in these parts. I'll get the ball rolling with the first King Cake. The...

We're all fans of our very own King Kons, but there are a lot more of them out there. I sometimes sell artwork and Tabi at anime conventions like Louisianime here in Baton Rouge. Or at Mechacon in New Orleans. What I'm most excited about is this one. This guy's going to be there: Complete...

There's a Master Class that James Patterson teaches about writing. I wish Sai King would do something like that. I know, Unca Stevie is quite liberal with advice, and there's the WONDERFUL 'On Writing' book. No doubt that there are a lot of ways to learn from the master, not the least of which...

Hurry back.

There's been some chat already about where the 2018 SKMB King Kon will take place, so... I'm havin a thought, Barbosa. Since there are relatively few King-related locations, and since plans for the next Kon in 2018 sounds like it's going to be a revisit to Maine, how 'bout we put all Kons in...

The two year old boy that was attacked by an alligator at Disney. Rest in peace, sweet boy.

What's your favorite? Six Flags? Sea World? Universal? Disney? Cedar Point? That last might not be well known to all Tet-Mates, but those from and around Ohio do. I spent most of my youth in Ohio, so summer trips to Sandusky were fairly routine. Cedar Point boasts the reputation for being the...

Just outside the Cantina, there's an empty lot where the sun hits just right. I thought maybe we could sow a few seeds and see what pops up. Here's a spot where we can talk about whatever plant life we grow. Gardens, flowers, veggies, trees, houseplants. Anything like that. Here's my happy...

Not happy or angry, or even sad, exactly. Sometimes it's just a bummed out kind of day. Bleah.

Amber Heard has filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, just days after his mother's death. Then, days after that, pictures started floating around of an abrasion on her face from what she says is Depp smashing his Iphone into her face. Producing a paper, presumably written by a cop. She refused...

Here's the first look at Laverne Cox as Frank N Furter in the new Rocky Horror remake. I've had my doubts about this remake from the start. I'm a die-hard fan of the original and am convinced that Tim Curry is the only Frank N Furter. But I'm receptive. They do stage shows every night with...

I don't know if anybody's keeping up with this, but they had Boy George on last week. This week, Nina Garcia is guest judging tonight. And Ken needs to get over himself.

I didn't see a Deadliest Catch thread. If there is one, please move this one there, mods, with my apologies. I'm watching tonight's all new episode, and there's a crew member with a giant cyst/zit/whatever behind his ear, and they have to pop it so it doesn't abscess. First squeeze and it...
