If you look at the top ten films of all time (aka the best of Sam Strange), six of them will be Star Wars films. This historical series has changed the life of every man, woman, man-child, child, and child-child who have come across its middle school charms,… Continue reading

When I was a kid I had this cherished bike. It was the best bike in the world. Even Pee-wee was jealous. Anyway, one day it got stolen by a mean kid named Jerkhead Jr. I had him arrested and tried, but the judge let him off the hook. It just so happened that… Continue reading

I hate my kids. I'm not sure how many of the little bastards I have anymore, but they all wander around the house, making fun of my age and treating me like King Lear when I don't give them enough spending money. I wish they'd just die or go away, but it… Continue reading
