I’ve edited a monthly magazine for more than six years, and it’s a job that’s come with more frustration than reward. If there’s one thing I am grateful for — and it sure isn’t the pay — it’s that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. As someone who slings red ink for a living, let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such it’s an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority ...

When filmmaker Carla MacKinnon started waking up several times a week unable to move, with the sense that a disturbing presence was in the room with her, she didn't call up her local ghost hunter. She got researching. Now, that research is becoming a short film and multiplatform art project exploring the strange and spooky phenomenon of sleep paralysis. The film, supported by the Wellcome Trust and set to screen at the Royal College of Arts in London, will debut in May. Sleep paralysis happens when people become conscious while their muscles remain in the ultra-relaxed state that prevents them from acting out their dreams. The experience can be quite terrifying, with many people ...

Domestic Drama Lands Laughing Devils “Sandman” In Jail

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream. Make her the cutest that I’ve ever seen. Give her two lips like roses in clover. Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over. It’s ironic how this song, which was most notable in the movie “Back To The Future“, mimics the reality behind the reality TV show called The Devils Ride. I’m referring to Robert Joseph “Sandman” Johnston, a member of the Laughing Devils MC and one of the more popular characters on the reality TV series. He was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a man during a burglary just prior to Christmas. There is some speculation (HERE) that Mister Sandman wanted to surprise his ...

Johnny Carson had many routines including Carnac. One of his less known was his investment adviser Bombastic Bushkin. He would say my investment adviser is Bombastic Bushkin and he put all my money in ______. Then he would go on to say how how Bushkin had ruined him. If Carson were alive today, he would say my investment adviser is Bombastic Bushkin and he put all my money in a bank in Cyprus. Monday's show will be live from Nicosia Cyprus where I will be in line at my bank trying to get my money out.
