“Ready for that three o-clock appoint…oh, it’s you.” “I’ve got it this time. I truly have.” “Mr. Forsyth, we at the Society for the Proliferation of Conspiracy Knowledge have a lot to do since the invention of online communication. We have bent over backward to try and disseminate your pyramid theory, butContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Pyramid Power Down”

If It Sells, It Doesn’t Need To Make Sense
To be frank, I find it easier to believe that the world is painted on the inside of a massive cosmic eggshell than that, once upon a time, a bunch of devious authorities got together and decided “Let’s tell them the world is a slightly flattened sphere and see how long we can fakeContinue reading “If It Sells, It Doesn’t Need To Make Sense”

This blog does not really concern itself with current events. I’m going for material with long-lasting value, not observations on the passing scene. What’s that? You feel my observations on butt jokes on vintage postcards is material which will live on for the ages? Thank you; perhaps it will last at least as longContinue reading “Metal Millinery”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XII
So we move on into the twentieth century in ou quest for presidential conspiracy theories dealing with every President of the United States. To be considered for our list, the theory in question should be about as old as the administration in question, or at least nothing something somebody came up with on theContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XII”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XI
As noted, the ground is getting treacherous underfoot as we sally forth in search of conspiracy theories about the U.S. Presidents. Ideally, you will recall, we are looking for stories more or less contemporary with the Chief Executive which have since been dismissed by most “mainstream historians”. We hit quicksand hunting for anything aboutContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES XI”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES X (with trees)
Listen, I am NOT giving up on my countdown of presidential conspiracy theories, false tales of conspiracies, preferably contemporary with the man himself, but I MAY have to skip Teddy Roosevelt. This would make me unhappy, as Teddy seems to me the sort of person who would ATTRACT conspiracy theories. But the InterwebsContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES X (with trees)”
TALL TALE TIME
This seemed to me the right postcard to show on a morning (or possibly afternoon) after the holiday we set up in honor of clock-watching. When some of us have spent our evening waiting for the two hands to meet at midnight so we would be positioned to kiss the right person (or aContinue reading “TALL TALE TIME”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX
We continue to pore through history to find good solid conspiracies involving each of the Presidents of the United States. To recap, we need a story about a president which involves him in some deep plot, or one that seemed deep at the time. We prefer theories which are more or less contemporary withContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII
We continue to hunt for conspiracy theories involving each President of the United States. To qualify, the story must be more or less contemporary with the President involved, and must be discounted by a majority of Mainstream Historians. I was expecting the boring Presidents of the late nineteenth century to be fairly free ofContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI
We continue our quest to find a conspiracy theory for each President of the United States. To reiterate the rules, we need something that was not just made up yesterday on the Interwebs: a conspiracy theory is best if it is contemporary with the president, or arose shortly thereafter. And to be a REALContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI”
