An Update Of Sorts

Well, if you hadn't noticed, Nora and I haven't been around much at all. Not to worry, we aren't pod-fading. But real-life has gotten in the way of our podcasting schedule in a big way. I want to save a lot of the talk for our actual podcast, but here's what has happened in a nutshell. On the last podcast, we talked about getting our house ready to sell. Well, we sold our house. In six days. It was something that Nora and I didn't expect to happen so quickly. Needless to say, it put a tremendous amount of pressure on us to find a new home. We didn't think it would be possible, but we found a place - a REALLY nice place - in two days. And we put a bid on that house. And we got it. Remind you, this has all happened in the span of about one week. We are now waiting for word on the loan, so we are are in this weird limbo where we're excited about the possibility of getting a new home and not actually being able to say anything about it, because there's a chance that the deal might go south. We haven't told any of the kids about the new place, so if you see them, please don't mention anything to them about it. Thanks for understanding.

In any event, with any luck, there will be a happy ending to this whole story and we'll be able to share with you the rest of the details about the new Nobby Annex. In the meantime, thanks for sticking with us. Hopefully we'll be able to talk about this whole deal very soon.

New Theme For Monster By Mail! SUPERVILLIANS!

Ah yes, It's been two years since I first decided to open Monster By Mail and start selling my artwork. And it's also been a while since I've done a full-fledged theme. But all that will change when I start "The Summer Of the SuperVillain!" That's right. Simply name your Supervillain and I'll draw them. It's as easy as that. I'm looking forward to what kind of Villains will come out of this project. And please be creative with your names. It's your creativity that helps drive the art. So go ahead and start ordering your own Supervillain today!

Book Recommendations from Us

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but it seems like real life is catching up with us and the thought of posting a real blog post seems both futile and tiring. Like many other bloggers/podcasters I've taken to the Twitter to get my messages across, leaving little time to actually write up a thoughtful post.

That being said, I am severely behind in my posting and hope to change that in the near future.

First off, you may remember our friend Bill Maynard from show #118 where he discussed his upcoming book "The Terror Of Fu Manchu". Well, you will be glad to know that Bill has published his book and it is now available for your reading consumption. You can purchase it here. I saw Bill on Friday and he was very excited about finally getting the book done and up for sale, so please support him if you can.

Secondly, my friend and fellow hobo artists have been busy as well. M.R. Peterson AKA Halcyconsnow has written a book called Dedicat Ed, which is about a foul-mouth midget who aspires to be a basketball player. Yes, you read that right. His book is available in a Kindle-friendly edition here. Mike says about his book:
"I don't know if you read on the toilet or on the bus, or while you excrete while on the bus, but it's perfect for that.The book part of it is only 95 pages or so. Read aloud, the full version took about 150 minutes."
High praise, indeed.

Also, friend of the show, Adam "Apelad" Koford has published a compendium of his Laugh Out Loud Cat cartoons and is selling them online at Amazon as well. The newer book contains a foreword by Hobo High Priest, John Hodgman and is definitely worth your time and effort.

So there you have it. Some book recos from us to you. Please buy as many as you can and make my friends happy.

Crazy Cyberstalker Interviewed By Media


Ann Bruno was accused of cyberstalking a competitor by police. When the local news media goes to interview her, she goes bonkers, donning an Easter Bunny head and a monster mask. Check it out.

Working At Google = XBOX FAIL

This is from my nephew, Mark. He was "googling" as all the kids do these days and came across an article about why it's SO COOL to work at Google. Well, scroll down the photolog around 26 pics in and see that working at Google apparently makes you JAM OUT to the XBOX dashboard like never before! Thanks for the find, Mark!

Hurry and look before the Cylons, er- Google Bots - replace it with employees using a Gran Turismo steering wheel to operate the microwaves.
