Meri’s Funny Hometown

Meri’s Funny Hometown

I have two things to say, and they're related, so pay attention. Thing one: I am a fan of comedy. Always have been. SNL. Monty Python. Ricky Gervais. Tina Fey. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Blah blah blah. These are a few of my favorite things. How do these human beings make such funny stuff? I want to know. Maybe I could do it too, some way, some how. But could I be funny in a place that isn't Hollywood or […]

Look Bitch, You Knew I Was a Pirate

In late August 2013, Ben and I had a table at Intervention 4. (We'll be back again next year and I swear to glob I better see some of you guys there. I digress...). During slow periods I occasionally get to shop around at Artists Alley. At one of the tables I spotted the devilishly charming pirate artist Robert Quill, selling books and prints of his works along with custom illustrations.

The Case Against Binge Watching

Binge watching is nothing new. It's been around since people were able to tape episodes onto VHS so they could watch their favorite shows as they please. It's been around since TV networks have aired weekend long marathons of popular television shows. But in the 21st century, with the advent of Netflix and DVRs, binge watching seems to be becoming the norm rather than the guilty pleasure.

How Tweet It Is (Meri’s Twitter Adventures)

When you're as enamored of pop culture as I am, having close encounters with the people who make that pop culture is a super duper awesome fun-balls thing. Not gonna lie, folks, I am a star struck goofball who loves to rub elbows with the rich and famous. But that doesn't really happen all that often. Sure, there are events like Dragon*Con, Blood At The Beach (conventions in general), concerts, and comedy shows. Scheduled things that give us losers the […]

Fatties Food Sex: Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark

For years I've had saltine cracker toffee, but never the guts to try making it. During my Christmas baking frenzy I decided to give it a shot... only with pretzels instead. I saw it on Pinterest and by god if it's on Pinterest it's going to work, right? Yeah, well. First attempt was an utter fail. A mass of gritty, buttery stick pretzels melded together by a layer of shitty chocolate that melts as soon as you look at it […]

Concerning Dragons

There’s been a creature that I've always loved and admired, but never really realized how much until recently. A long lizard with the ability to fly, breathe flame, and be generally super badass. Yes, I’m talking about a dragon! Normally, I’m all about the cute and cuddly critters. Nothing would make me happier than plopping into a big pile of fluffy kittens or puppies and cuddling until I passed out. But what would happen if in the midst of cuddling, […]

It’s My Facebook and I’ll Do What I Want

We all have that one friend on Facebook. In fact, we probably know a lot of these people. You know the ones. Whenever a major story breaks in the news, they chastise the rest of Facebook for not talking about that news story. When we tell some dick jokes to our friends, we’re called out for “ignoring” the possible government intervention in Syria. If we post a funny news story, we’re being “distracted” by the government and media from the […]

Irrefutable proof that Prince is a Time Lord.

"You've got to be kidding, right?" I hear you saying. It's cool. When I first had the idea I was a little shocked too. Hear me out. Like the Doctor, the Master, the Warrior, or the Corsair, he's just Prince. His name has, over time, become synonymous with who he is. When people hear the word Prince, they think: Not: Go ahead. Google one word: Prince. I'll wait. (Note, this page is pretty image heavy. In case you're not on Wi-fi, or you're […]
