This week’s Weekly Question of the Week is inspired by Becoming Cliché’s post from a couple days ago about the worst Christmas songs ever written. Christmas songs provoke impressive and diverse reactions. There are many that I dig that I completely understand others loathe, and vice versa. For example, I like “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” […]

Crime-Buster Action Update!
As readers may recall, a couple weeks ago my wife and I became America’s greatest heroes. The fact that Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer aren’t fist-fighting over the movie rights to our story can only be explained by the notion that they’re playing coy (Well, it won’t work, Nolan!).

I am thankful to have the whole family together this holiday evening, especially those who haven’t spoken to each other for so long, to share this special meal. I am thankful for this wonderful looking turkey, and the honor of carving it. I am thankful to hear the constant joyful shrieking of so many children. […]

A Very Byronic Anniversary
Today marks one year of The Byronic Man being online. Hurray for me! One year of not shooting myself in the foot, and not abandoning it. Phew. I did a few posts before launching it initially, so that when the legions of people flocked to it immediately upon creation there’d be several posts for them […]

Your Weekly Question of the Week for 11/20
It’s time for another Weekly Question of the Week (which may or may not appear weekly)! Your chance to mull over a theoretical, ultimately meaningless question! Fan or not, I think we can all agree that pro-wrestlers and roller derby competitors tend to have pretty awesome names. Wrestlers like The Undertaker, Macho Man Savage, Big […]
