  • What I Learned About Caves from Movies

    1. An explosion in a cave, no matter how small the blast, will result in the precise amount of falling rocks needed to just cover the solitary entrance. The rocks will always be small enough to be carried away by hand.
    2. Even when there are tens of thousands of bats, the guano will have no affect on air quality.
    3. All caves have a three meter ceiling throughout the walkways.
    4. All caves have torch sconces on the walls. If they aren’t lit when you arrive, you needn’t worry. They have plenty of fuel still soaked in them and will blaze with the slightest spark.
    5. There is always a deep, rushing river in every cave, drinkable and free of E coli.
    6. Masks aren’t needed in movie caves, not even in coal mines. That Black Lung disease is a myth.
    7. All it takes to cover up an abandoned mine is a few rotted planks of wood that are nailed to the very cave itself. They will never be level and there will always be a warning, half washed away in black paint.
    8. It is possible to walk about inside active volcanoes without special outer gear. Remember, you can always outrun lava.

  • Russell? Seriously?

    Like many of you, I am addicted to HBO’s True Blood. Best. Show. Ever. Certainly the best vampire show. How then, did they come up with the bone-headed scheme of naming a 3,000 year-old vampire king Russell? Seriously? Russell means “red” so I can see the meaning, but seriously. A tri-millenial vampire should surely rank a spookier name than Russell.

    However, since they feel this name is fitting, and from the storyline, it looks pretty certain that King Russ is going to be offed soon, I have some alternate names for the replacement king:

    1. Cuthbert
    2. Bubba Joe Billy Bob VI
    3. Pinkus
    4. Tiny Jim
    5. DJ Toofs
    6. Bingo the Clown
    7. Sunshine Deathray (which is apparently a real name)
    8. Mustafah Jones
    9. Dick Cheney
    10. What would you name the new vampire king?
