You know about Rudolph the Red-Noised Reindeer, don’t you? It’s an absolutely classic little nugget of popular culture. A cute and epic little song that works as a sequel to ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, the classic poem. It got a famous TV adaptation, and quite a few more non-famous ones. Lately the song isContinue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 12/21/21 – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Unstoppable Heart of Vengeance”

Inner Beauty Parry 12/14/21 – The YouTube Dislike Meter Elegy (The Internet’s Final Tantrum)
The destroyed the dislike button a few days ago. On YouTube. Maybe I should say the “dislike meter”. The button is still there. And I’m sure a few millions of could feel our stomachs turn.

Inner Beauty Parry 12/11/21 – That Time I Messed Around with Super Mario Himself
I used to go to the Nintendo World Store a lot of the time. Did you know Mario’s voice actor does this motion capture thing where he talks to people looking at the screen? Apparently he’s been doing it since even before Mario 64. He does a few silly impersonations, lets kids and adults askContinue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 12/11/21 – That Time I Messed Around with Super Mario Himself”
Inner Beauty Parry 11/30/21 – Resentment for Charity Walks (The Knot Into Your Hands)
One day, I heard someone talk about how irritating walks for charity are. Or, you know, fundraisers based upon pledges and things like that. One person promises to move, to walk, to run, so that someone else can donate based upon their efforts. I looked up to see if there were discussions. Someone raved similarly.Continue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 11/30/21 – Resentment for Charity Walks (The Knot Into Your Hands)”
Inner Beauty Parry 11/29/21 – Marching Band Un-Hatred is not Bizarre to Anyone
I don’t really love the uniformed marching bands in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The balloons and the floats are a hell of a lot more entertaining. A proud minority on the internet would disagree, but I think most of us really watch it for those wacky smiling balloons and those corny gaudy floats. RecentlyContinue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 11/29/21 – Marching Band Un-Hatred is not Bizarre to Anyone”
Inner Beauty Parry 11/28/21 – Personalized Morning Greetings for Kids are Just as Cute to the Despicable
There’s a video going around of a teacher greeting a line of young students into her classroom. Every one of them gets to choose which type of greeting they want by touching icons on a wall. Some of them hug, some of them shimmy, some do something like a bow. I’d have to look upContinue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 11/28/21 – Personalized Morning Greetings for Kids are Just as Cute to the Despicable”
CarHonk Catharsis (The Big Damn Freakin’ Elevator Pitch)
You know what they say about trying to promote your ideas. If you can’t do it in the length of an elevator ride, you’re probably fucked. You ever try crossing the street in the middle of a traffic jam? Chances are, one car is gonna stop for you. And there’s a good chance the carContinue reading “CarHonk Catharsis (The Big Damn Freakin’ Elevator Pitch)”
Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/10/21 – The Graffiti Meditation (A Pacifier for Adults)
Hey, it’s you. Thanks for showing up. There are a lot of problems I want to see changed. And I think that can change. That may, that will. You’re the same, to be sure. But there’s something I don’t think really has much room to grow. Something I wouldn’t wouldn’t really bother tackling. It’s gotContinue reading “Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/10/21 – The Graffiti Meditation (A Pacifier for Adults)”
Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/9/21 – The Thunderous Roar of “Systemic” Attempts to Mend Social Competence
That last post was pretty intense, wasn’t it? I think I’ll take it down a notch. Sit down and listen. I’m sure you’ve heard about those “systemic -isms” that have been going on. Yeah, they’re pretty terrible, no doubt. And you’ve got to be familiar with the opinions about the word. Most say it’s eitherContinue reading “Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/9/21 – The Thunderous Roar of “Systemic” Attempts to Mend Social Competence”
Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 11/8/21 – Egregious Ethical Accusations are as Gratifying as Winning at Space Invaders!
Tell me, stranger. Beautiful stranger. Have you ever heard of an arcade game called Space Invaders? I had it on a keychain when I was 10. They referenced it on Futurama. You see, the tricky thing about Space Invaders is that you can’t just shoot the aliens where they are. You have to shoot themContinue reading “Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 11/8/21 – Egregious Ethical Accusations are as Gratifying as Winning at Space Invaders!”
