Sneak Peek of the Week of December 9th, 2012

I come to bury American Chopper, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Teutul.
– William Shakespeare, with additional dialogue by Mr. Blog. (And Sam Taylor.)

Yes it is true, American Chopper ends this week. HOORAY! We’ll throw a wake with a double recap of the two-part four-way Chopper Live Build- Off on starting Monday night, as I live blog the first part, and not ending until Wednesday night rolls in. After that, only one more Weekly Recap is in the works, sort of an entire-series overview next week, and then we can finally bury this monster. Also this week, Allen Keyes checks in with a GREAT post about New York Jet fans. Fireman Ed has quit, who will fill his shoes? Not these real-life duncecaps.

All this, a vampire from Serbia, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

AND COMING SOON: Christmas Classics!  

Sneak Peek of the Week of December 2nd, 2012

It will be one of those weeks around bmj2k.com.

On Monday, this being the big Conspicuous Consumption Holiday Binge Buying Season, Allen Keyes turns his gaze, laser-like, upon some First World Problems we only seem to have in the Western Hemisphere. The Northern part, to be exact. (Sorry Mexico.)

On Tuesday it will be a day of either black armbands of mourning or joyous laughter of delight as we recap the last regular episode of American Chopper. After this week, all that is left is the 2-part Build-Off.

Then on Wednesday we have the justification for the picture above. It is a Tale of My Father, the first of what may be too many stories of my Dad, Mr. Blog Senior. This week’s tale takes place in the early 70’s and I can totally see Dad wearing that shirt. (He already had the sideburns.) But that would make that woman my Mom and now that picture is totally creepy. Maybe I should change it.

On Thursday we’ll open Larry Hagman’s will and see a few surprises within. Who knew Larry Hagman was such a big fan of Project Runway?

Then on Friday it is the Imponderable and frankly I can’t choose. Will it by Robosquirrel or the Serbian Vampire? Whichever it is, the other will be next week. (Which makes this also a Mini-Sneak Peek of the Week of December 9th! Bonus!)

Saturday Comics comes back to the schedule next week, featuring 10 favorite comics of all time. (Um, sort of. I bend the rules and sneak 15 in. Maybe this should be a two-parter.)

I’ll see you all next week here at bmj2k.com, and remember the password… YARTEX!
