Jonathan Schmock in "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off"

In our third and final installment, martyz.com had the pleasure of sitting down with Chez Quis’ favorite Maitre D’, writer, actor, travelair, noveleer Mr. Jonathan Schmock — whom you most likely remember as the man who wouldn’t let Ferris Bueller into [...]

We Love To Fly And It — HACK HACK — BLEECCCHH — Shows.

A German entrepeneur has launched an airline for smokers — SMINTAIR — (Smoker’s International Airways).
Sit back, relax with plenty of leg room and breathe in that sweeet, sweet smell.

Speaking of cancer, a couple months back I posted a crazy picture of Eddie Van Halen who looked like David Letterman’s grandpa. A flickr user buzzkilled the [...]

A Pickly Doom

I saw “Superman Returns” last night at a pre-release / 10pm showing — very entertaining. (7.3 Zaps) As I’ve read in many reviews, Brandon Routh does indeed not only act like a good Clark Kent/S-man but a Clark Kent/S-man played by Christopher Reeve. I thought Kevin Spacey would annoy me as Lex — not so [...]

There’s an excellent book out called “55 Fun Things To Do With Google” that has a PLETHORA of things to do with Google — it’s on sale at Amazon.com for about $20 — or you can download the entire book for free.

Authorized Retailer = Doody

Two days ago C’s phone died — completely. After much persuasion I convinced her to come over to the glorious world of Cingular. After work yesterday, we both went to a Cingular Authorized Retailer — (note I didn’t say “Cingular Store”) to look at new phones.
The phone she wanted: a pink Motorola Razr. When [...]

SuperLego and a “Borat” Movie coming soon

Self-proclaimed international sneakerographer Al Cabino immediately had a response to me yesterday afternoon, when I mentioned a link to the eBay auction for a reproduction of the “McFlys” — the Nike PowerLace shoes seen in Back to the Future Part II (auction since removed as it’s a violation to post an item with a logo [...]

Screech needs your help!!

(via Carrie) Dustin Diamond has gotten himself into a dill of a pickle. The bank is foreclosing on his home loan and he’s struggling to use his H-List celebrity status to save his Wisconsin home.
Help Screech. Help him get back at that meanie Mr. Potter, (in this case Arthur Giraldo at NYCE) .

Isn’t it SOOO [...]

Oh Oh Veoh - The right stuff.

This past weekend my cousin Kathy Z. performed her senior recital (she’s an amazing cellist) as a part of her high school graduation — the Zagers gettin’ all growns up on us! Where does the time go, eh? Here, Kathy and my uncle Michael discuss the merits of despotism versus an oligarchial structure over [...]
