Keyser’s Survived!

As loyal readers may recollect, Keyser’s been have tooth problems. Some may have interpreted his recent silence as a sign of his having submitted to molar pain, but no such luck. The dentist basically said, “Sometimes teeth just do shit. I’ll rank that one out or give you a root canal if you insist, but [...]

Keyser’s Tooth

Goddamned thing won’t get healed. Some days, it’s fine. Some days, not so fine. Hard to concentrate, especially when there’s other shit to take care of too… It’s okay right now, but this is what it looks like when it isn’t.

Keyser Has an Uncooperative Tooth

For my recent birthday, I got a tooth ache. Been going on for five days. Dentist says he’s 90% sure it will get better of its own accord. The alternatives are a lot less appealing, so let’s hope it’s Plan A. And of course my mind is occupied by throughs of Plans B and C. [...]

Keyser Has a “Milestone”

And, Christ, are they painful to “pass”! Truth be told, Keyser has now been on this earth for fifty years. The festivities are about to start (and the dancing goyles are getting a bit rambunctious), so I’ll have to shut down the computer for a while to put it aside and make sure no ill [...]

Great Art Takes a Long Time: Keyser’s Pathetic Excuse Edition

You know, Keyser’s been feeling bad about letting down the Interwebz World Team by not posting much anymore, and just sticking up some funny/lewd pictures with the occasional humorous heading. I thought it was a matter of having lost inspiration. But you know what? It just takes too God damned long to compose even a [...]

Back in Bidness, Bitches!

Dunno how exactly it happened, but after I sent a support message to the server, the Lair went off line sometime between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon, when the inestimable Dr. Phibes informed me of this disaster. And long-time readers may be aware that hacking put the Lair out of commission for something like a [...]

Aliens May Be Cads, But They Aren’t Rapists

Seems some big doctor at Brown University who’s also a fancy numismatist has been convicted to peddling coins that had been dug up in Italy and illegally exported. Only problem was, they were actually fakes: Weiss was arrested in January amid a coin auction at the posh Waldorf-Astoria hotel, planning to sell what was listed [...]

Physics Break Through of the Day: Pull the Other Boson Edition

Apparently, they conducted some sort of experiment that made the reality of bosons and quarks and other such stuff I’ve never indisputable. As long-time readers of this blog may recall, Keyser is rather dubious of these Higgs bosons dancing on the heads of unseen pins. Maybe they exist, maybe they don’t, but fundamentally until somebody [...]

Growing Shit in the Garden of Your Mind

You know, back when Keyser was a tyke growing up in the eastern marches of the Pannonian Plains, we used to get bootleg tapes of PBS shows. Supposedly, these were more wholesome than the tiresome crap you could see on the Magyar Indoctrinational Broadcast Service. Sure, Nova was great (I still remember vividly a show [...]

Max the Cat, 1992-2012

Twenty years ago, Keyser was living with the ex-Mrs. Söze in Somerville MA while he was finishing his doctorate in daemonology at Harvard. One morning in late June we woke up to hear some plaintive mewing from the driveway alongside our apartment building. It was raining fairly hard, and there was this little kitten sitting [...]
