Ladies and gentlemen, today we get swallowed into the belly of the geek beast. No, not Harry Knowles. Comic-Con. (…Or, as the ancient Aztecs called it, “Kahmik-K’ahan.”)

COMIC-CON 2007: Kevin Murphy in Rifftrax-issued L.B.P.’s.

Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and myself will be at various places at various times signing stuff, drawing little […]

Ever the good son, Conor cheered on his mom in a post earlier today. (Wishing you victory in the photo contest, Mrs. ConorsMom. You’re going down, cute baby picture!!)
Made me feel a little guilty for not cheerleading my own mom here at the Rifftrax Blog. Though technically she now qualifies […]

And if you think these guys aren’t the Original Original Gangstaz, then you never saw what happened to people who dissed Wilkins Coffee. (To repeat:)

Did I say “in?” Sorry, meant “on.”

JOSH F., in his natural habitat.

JOSH F., now cleaned up real good; fully oppressed by the Trebekian machine.

Consider:

N.B.: The Slimsticks are free. What with the high price of Slimsticks these days, I’d advise anyone to seize this opportunity.

Received this in a mostly-defunct mailbox the other day:

FROM: bellsouth.net
SUBJECT: hi there pyrophosphate
Well, I’m just gobsmacked by this one. How did some spammers (apparently from the South, where I’ve never lived!) know the nickname I’ve cherished since third grade?

Me.

A real stumper.
sincerely,
Bill “Pyrophosphate” Corbett

It will all have been a big sad joke if after these earthbound days are over, my final resting place is not listed in Find A Grave.

Good to have an pre-arranged exit, in case you plan on going zombie (as I do).

And if I still live in Minnesota — more accurately, if I still […]

“Time” in this case equalling me. Apologies.

For a reminder of what this rather odd contest was about, click here. Warning: it involves a very young, quite enraged, woman-hatin’ Joey Lawrence.
Congratulations to all contestants: you are smart, you are funny, and some of you are frightening. […]

If anyone lives in or around the Twin Cities, MN, area, I’ll be on the show “Twin Cities Live” today to talk about this past weekend’s release of MEET HELLBOY (AND BE QUICKLY, BRUTALLY CRUSHED BY HIM).

Since it’s live, I will be showing up in cutoff jeans and a wife beater shirt, cradling a bottle […]

Sir Edward Murphy delivers the climactic “Why Freedom Matters” monologue at the end of MEET DAVE, illustrating his point with an oversized pinball.

I’m in West Virginia this week on a family reunion, and it’s from this very un-Hollywood-ish corner of the U.S.A. that I watch as a movie called MEET DAVE opens nationwide tomorrow.
I wrote […]

Quick P.S., then I’ll let you enjoy your holiday in peace… I did an interview with the Jawbone Radio podcast a few days ago, and they released it today. Linkosity:

Our son Freddy turned one year old today. July 3 — just missed being an ID4 baby by a few hours.
One year ago tonight my wife Virginia and I had the most amazing night — sitting in a room on the top floor of the hospital, holding our brand-new son as July 4th fireworks […]

Is the video below ironic? Or not? Or… a little bit ironic, for a while, and then it suddenly stops and turns the irony bus around? (”Ha HA! Fooled you!!”)

She can’t help you with this question.

Something I actually said to my three year old daughter this AM:

See honey? Trying sometimes works.
What I didn’t add, thankfully:
“Note that I said ’sometimes,’ honey. Rarely, in fact. Come to think of it, honey, we all rot eventually… so what’s the point of ANY effort?”

KNUTE ROCKNE a.k.a. “not me.”
