Harry Potter 10 Years Later

Harry Potter Not Playing Quidditch Anymore

Every morning as Harry Potter goes to work as a courier messenger in Manhattan, New York, sucking up exhaust fumes and dodging insane taxi drivers, he thinks quietly to himself, Why the FUCK did I destroy the most powerful wand in the world!!!

Happy Halloween

The Sixth Level Of Hell Video

Inside the pits of Hell, also known as the Dark Zone at the Halloween trade show in St. Louis, I filmed these quick six dark room props perfectly suited for an upscale haunted house. These props can be either automated or triggered by motion or pressure. I especially love the flying vampire. Great audio.  Happy Halloween

Eddies Grill - Foot Long Chili Dog

Eddie's Grill - Chili Dog

As the last day of Summer ended at 4:44 PM today, my thoughts drifted back to Geneva-On-The-Lake. Particularly Eddie’s Grill and their famous cheeseburgers and incredible chili dogs. We were able to get back one more time before the Geneva Strip closed for the Summer and of course stopped at Eddies.

This particular Saturday, the strip, and Eddies was not packed, crowded yes, but not packed. We were lucky to procure a booth inside Eddies. I placed my order at the counter and received my order number and returned to my booth. In less than ten minutes my number was called and I went to retrieve my tray of food.

The foot long chili cheese dog was messy of course but tasted fantastic. The bun fresh and firm, the dog itself hot and well cooked, the cheese plentiful, and the chili topping, very zesty and complimented the hot dog. The foot long should be shared by two people unless you are very hungry.

The fries were standard eddies Grill fries. Good, crispy, and enough to complete the meal.

And of course, the cheeseburger that I had to have. Take a close look at the cheeseburger pictured. Now look at the two pictures of the picture of the cheeseburger on the wall. It is identical right down to the melted dripping cheese coming out of the bun. Truth in advertising. Of course it was very good tasting. A great way to end the Summer season.

See you next year Eddies….

Cheddars Restaurant - Chicken And Ribs

The first time I went to Cheddars Restaurant it was a pleasant experience. The food was good, the service great, and the place clean. The second time however, well....

BBQ Ribs And Chicken

Twenty minutes later my dinner arrived. It looked good. It smelled good. But....
In a nutshell, the chicken was under cooked, well, it was barely cooked. The breading was soggy and the inside chicken was cold and chewy. Not a good sign.

The ribs were supposed to be "Fall off the bone" tender. They were not. It was a challenge to get the meat off the bone.

The saving grace was the dessert, croissant rolls. They were tender, flaky, hot, and very good.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 2.5 out of 5 shots and recommends Cheddars for dinner just because of the previous experience.

In honor of Discovery Channel Shark Week… After 53 years of chumming the oceans the Grassy Knoll Institute Oceanography division offers this very rare photograph of not one, not two, but three Nun Sharks breaching off the coast of San Francisco. The Nun Shark is the most vicious of all shark breeds. When nun sharks hunt in numbers it is known as a sharknundo.
