  5. It's Captain Ironstorm!

    Many thanks to Captain Caveman, who was popular on Saturday morning cartoons when I was in high school. I put in my real name, so now I wonder what there is about it that would generate this moniker.

    Cuz I kinda like it...

  9. I'm still wondering how Andrew Bolt will take to “Ringo Apocalypse,” when compared to Tim Blair’s “Maverick Tank”?

    BTW, Paco, I'm in your hemisphere (if not neck of the woods) ATM - caught the Opening Day game Cubs vs. Astros yesterday :-) but now it's down to business.
