“Looking at Uranus”, is a Broadway play based on the life of Astronomer William ‘Eggs’ Herschel, who discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. There was much anticipation for the opening of this period piece musical. In the light of the success of ‘Hamilton’, it seemed justified. While the major players were generally unknown, Chainsaw Chicken […]
Romper Room Romance
I always thought Miss Nancy never ‘smacked wise’ to my Romper Room Romance. I was a crafty devil with little Sara Leghorn. She was my very first, real life girlfriend. Our days on Romper Room went by with just a wiz of time. She sit there all pretty and calm. I would keep turning my […]
Shari Lewis & Cacciatore

As a ventriloquist and puppeteer, she was making some more appearances on other shows such as Howdy Doody, Car 54-Where Are You?, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Love-American Style, talent agents suggested that she […]

You quarantined for me?
You went through quarantine for me? You sat in a windowless room, ate frozen TV dinners, showered 3 times a day, wore gloves and a mask 24 hours a day, used alcohol based scrubs on your hands once an hour – every hour – unless using the rest room, then once before you start and […]

500th Posting
That’s right folks! This is the 500th posting on our site. These 500 postings go all the way back to 2015. Back then, we used to post short captions like you would see on a comics page in the paper but I decided to gravitate to a long format in order to allow more of […]
Mass Baldwin Psychosis
Mass formation psychosis? What is it? Let me put it to you in the form a metaphor. Imagine you are in a theater audience about to enjoy a performance of some magician that is an Alec Baldwin doppelganger. As you sit in the audience, ‘The Great Alec’ began with some simple magic, like ‘rabbit in […]
psycho-anal-ass
My doctor suggested that we try a new style of mental therapy. I believe he said it is something like ‘psycho-anal-ass’. Never heard of it before. Sounds like there will be some very personal discussion. I remember that Alfred Hichcock movie ‘Psycho’. Creepy movie, for sure. But I don’t have my mother sitting in a […]
Lord of the dance
When Irish dancer Michael Flatley once said, “Everyone in the world will tell you, ‘No, it can’t be done.’ Every time I hear that, I know I’m close to success.” “That’s good enough for me” stated Chainsaw Chicken after playing a VHS tape of Lord of the Dance he found at a local garage sale. […]
