Except for maybe the feeble-minded part, that pretty much describes the raison d'etre of this page. This is the fun side of our lives, our dreams and diversions, the things that bring levity to our hearts and smiles to our faces. Rest your cares on our digital doorstep and amuse yourself for a while.

He's big. He's blue. He's nigh-invulnerable. Armed with the battle cry of flatware
(SPOOOOOOOON!!!), the platitude shouting hero is ready to pound two-fisted justice into any and all who would threaten "The City... MY, The City..." Writer and artist Ben Edlund has created the ultimate spoof of the comic book superhero. From the comic books to the Saturday morning cartoon, the hilarious stories of our hero and his sidekick Arthur poke fun at everything from Dick Tracy to third world dictators to Cindy Crawford's moles. Honk if you love justice!
The Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) is the funniest darn science humor magazine since Darwin published all that monkey nonsense. Often described as a sort of MAD Magazine of science, AIR chronicles both genuine and concocted research from the world's best and worst scientists and science writers. The articles and features in AIR are created by the best and worst science writers and scientists in the world, many of them Nobel laureates.
"Drive the freeways of the future -- where the right of way goes to the biggest guns..." One of Kevin's passions is fretting away a few of his precious hours playing engaging yet silly board games with his friends. One of the more masculine is Car Wars, a "Mad-Max" armed-to-the-teeth demolition derby set in the not-too-distant future. Defensive driving is not encouraged! Want to see yours truly locked in vehicular combat to the death? Click here to watch us engaged in A Sophisticated Evening of Automotive Mayhem.
Role-playing games! Recipe for fun: Mix several bad episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess, Star Trek, Scooby Doo, The Twilight Zone, and Attack of the Teenage Mutant Mindleeches. Saute lightly in an atmosphere of amateur theatre and renaissance festival silliness until warm. Place atop on a bed of suspended disbelief, and garnish with pretzels, chips, and a liberal sprinkling of polyhedra dice. Serves 4-8 overactive imaginations.
The link above leads to a wonderland of high imagination and honorable exploits, including summaries of our favorite PCs, past campaigns, and some of our favorite RPG sites. Peer closely and you'll gain a little insight into our particular madnesses!
Translocation pods. Rivet Guns. Double boosting down a bug tunnel! Sound like fun? Have any idea what we're talking about? Red Planet is a high-end multiplayer video game developed by VirtualWorld Entertainment. Players climb inside a specially designed 6'x6'x4' pod loaded with monitors, buttons, switches, and joysticks to pilot a souped-up mining vehicle in a death race through the treacherous canals of Mars. For many years it was an on-again, off-again (now off-again permanently, in Dallas anyway) pasttime of Kevin and "the boys." Kevin has compiled a Red Planet Web Page with all the info he could scavenge from across the 'Net for those interested in this thoroughly nerdly pursuit.
Conspiracy theories and pixelated paranoia-plus!
Are alien space monsters bringing a startling new world? Do people think you're strange? Do you?? Are you Adnormal? Feeling like there's just no slack? Look to the High Unpredictables of the Church of the SubGenius for pan-cultural deprogramming and resynchronization. Perfect your subliminal vision - edit your memory - relive your reincarnality! Let J.R. "Bob" Dobbs show you the way... A hilarious parody of cults, pyramid schemes, conspiracy theories, self-help programs and UFOs-are-coming-to-save-us nutcases. This is high-powered satire at its zenith, and nothing is too sacred for their slack-charged wit. Although there's no nudity, violence or foul language, the faint of heart or easily offended should seek enlightenment elsewhere. Don't sell yourself short, though, as "BOB" is waiting to show you the behavio-electric Path of least Resistance!
