Elvis Is Everywhere Featuring King!

  Elvis is everywhere Elvis is everything Elvis is everybody Elvis is still the king Back in 1987, Mojo Nixon put forth the proposition that Elvis is everywhere and everyone. The King died in 1977, but he's still as much a part of our culture today as he was in 1953.  As the Mark Wills …

An Open Letter to Geoff Johns Regarding Flashpoint

Dear Mr. Johns  I'm sure you get letters like this every single day.  Every fanboy worth his salt has ideas for how to make your mega-events "better." Given what you've been able to do with JSA, Hawkman and Green Lantern, we should all probably just sit back and let you do what you do. Of …

A Keith Richards Moment

So I'm reading Keith Richards' autobiography Life. So far so good. Its a good read and now that they've actually formed the Stones things are moving right along. The other morning, as I was getting ready to leave for work, I told my wife that I might leave the book on my nightstand, even after …

Friday LinkFrogging – 12/3/10

Welcome to December. We're back, and more importantly, back on time. Tis the season to shop early, often and excessively. Lucky for you, our weekly trip around the internet is still free of charge and full of cheer. Last week was Black Friday.  This Friday is Black Swan. Yes, that as another of my patented …

I Believe from “American Gods”

There have been some great monologues about what someone believes. Steve Martin had a great one that included "robots are stealing my luggage." For me the pinnacle is, and will always be, the Crash Davis speech from Bull Durham. However, earlier today I stumbled upon one I forgot. From the mind of Neil Gaiman in …

Friday LinkFrogging – 10/15/10

Photo by Esquire Welcome to the weekend dear reader(s). I don't know about you, but I could use a drink, or two, or three. But I digress. If its a weekend in the fall that means sports.  Lots and lots of sports. Like football?  You've got NCAA and NFL to choose from. Baseball?  MLB League …

Friday LinkFrogging – 9/24/10

  It's confession time from your dear old editor.  This week I was going to make Hollywood's favorite octogenerian comeback kid, Betty White, our cheesecake.  She was on Community last night and that's really all of the hook I needed to justifty the pick.  I even joked that I would try to make all of …

The 10 Greatest Fictional Baseball Players of All Time

Its that time of year. The games that matter are getting fewer and fewer as the Boys of Summer head into the fall.  Add to that the impending return of HBO's brilliantly profane Eastbound and Down and me coaching my kids' baseball team and I've got the great American past time on the brain. I'll …

Friday LinkFrogging – 9/17/10

Wino Forever!My birthday was last week. One of my gifts was Chuck Klosterman's "Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs."  We enjoy Mr. Klosterman's work here at GonzoGeek.  We've made no bones about it.  He's a kindred spirit. What makes Mr. Klosterman's work so interesting is his ability to weave the most mundance threads from the pop …

Friday LinkFrogging – 9/10/10

First things first, thanks, once again to Chris for filling in for me so ably on our weekly jaunt around the web.  Well done sir.  Well done! Can you feel it?  Summer is fading and fall is in the air. Football, of every kind, is back underway. The Boys of Summer are heading into the …
