Tales from the Pub is a collection of shorts in the style of The Twilight Zone… by the team that brought you The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. The writer/producer and sometimes actor, Tales of the Callamo Mountains up on Lulu, which is a neat on-demand publisher.
Here’s my favorite Tale from the Pub so far. Submitted for the approval of, well, everyone, I give you: “Puppet for your thoughts”
My daughter has taken to play acting “Oh come to my arms my beamish boy!” with her brother. Then she exclaims “Oh, frabjous day! Callou, callay!” Guess what one of her top requests for me to recite is?
I just walked into the other room and she’s babbling… then I realize what dialogue she’s trying to reconstruct .
“Who?”
“Me who”
“That’s what I want to know!”
“Yes, I have it with me…”
I’m cracking up to internally, but trying not to distract her… 
Her favorite bedtime read though focuses on a girl who dies (because her parent’s won’t buy her a pony she wants.) She’s picking up the part of the little girl pretty quickly. Expect us on tour soon!
When shaving a cat, use tranquilizers.

Can you guess who did the score?
I honor of Pi day, I whipped up this little quizlet: Test your Pi power!
Hope you all had some irrational fun :)
Whenever I get an idea for a site project, I tend to run to the command line and bounce from whois to whois, looking to see if I can find a good name that isn’t registered. OK, sometimes I don’t even have a good idea, I just like to see what I can find among the ever diminishing top level domain namespaces…
I’ve gotten better (I don’t want to go on the cart!) about not registering my finds until I’m SURE I have something worth putting up… but at $10 or so for a year registration it can be pretty hard. In an effort to offload the burden I’ve decided to throw whatever I find and am definitely not going to register up here.
The funniest ones are the ones that can be parsed in multiple ways, or provide options for interesting subdomains or e-mail addresses. For example:
- meallover.com – As in “meal lover.” I was thinking ”me all over,” but who doesn’t love food? Good for a recipe / restraunt review blog. Ok, so there are other options too… like track, follow, lick…
- ssismine.com -How would you like to get an e-mail from “your@ssismine.com”? I don’t send enough threatening e-mails to register that one. Maybe a fisherman would like this.b@assismine.com? Or a metal reseller: all.br@assismine.com?
If anyone does register a domain I post here, please let me know so I can see what you do with it.
