Throwback Thursday! The First Rule of Phil Club Is…

I went back to June of 2013 to pull this from the archive. You can only join Phil Club if your name is Phil Taylor. (I’ve added some pictures and links to spruce it up)

“Gentlemen, or should I say, Phil Taylor? Welcome! Welcome to Phil Club. I suppose you’re all wondering why I’ve gathered you here today. This, (holding my arm sweeping it around to encompass the room) is Phil Club. The first rule of Phil Club is that you talk about Phil Club.”

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Real Facts About Greenland

Remember last weeks Top Ten Possibly True Facts about Greenland? I know this may come as a shock to you, but I made most of those up. What I learned, based on comments to that post is that you and I know very little about Greenland, except that Greenlanders don’t visit our blogs very much. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back. I reached out to Greenland and found Sarah Woodall. Many years ago Jane Goodall went to live with the gorillas to understand them. Sarah Woodall, an American, went to live...

Music Monday! The Mockers

As a continuation of my Friday interview with actor/producer/musician Robbie Rist, here’s an absolutely hilarious song by the band, The Mockers, that Robbie is in with his friends Seth Gordon and Tony Leventhal. Give it a listen, it’s really funny.

Have a great Monday! ~Phil

6 Questions with Brady Bunch/TMNT/Sharknado star Robbie Rist!

For my readers who don’t know Robbie’s name off the top of your head, you no doubt have seen or heard him in something. Over the last forty years Robbie has been quietly woven into the fabric of American pop culture like few others. If you haven’t seen him in a movie or TV show, you’ve probably heard his voice as a cartoon character dating back to his work as Michelangelo for the 80’s cartoon and 1990 movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or the Final Fantasy X video game or more recently as...

TBT! Two Phils are Better than One! Or Are They?

(06/28/2014) Doppelganger: German for “double walker”, a shadow self that is thought to accompany every person. Some believe that only someone who knows the original person can also see the Doppelganger. Still others subscribe to the “evil twin” theory that doppelgangers behave in a manner directly opposite to the original person.

That picture is allegedly of a Civil War soldier who looks like Nicholas Cage. Yikes, the possibility of two Nicholas Cages making movies is frightening!

As of thi...

Wordless Wednesday: Aurora Borealis Over Greenland

From the end of September to the middle of April, an incredible six to seven months, is aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, season in Greenland. That picture isn’t a fake. I’ve never been to #Greenland but I have been fortunate to see aurora borealis three times in my life and one was a really big one. The only other natural phenomena as incredible is a great sunset. And yes, I am still shamelessly trying to lure someone from Greenland to my blog. BTW, come back Friday. I have a GREAT guest...

Top Ten Tuesday! 10 Possibly True Facts About Greenland!

Last week I was reading someone’s blog and they noted that as far as they could tell, they had never had a reader from Greenland. I of course said I had a huge following in #Greenland. I was lying. So, in an effort to increase my readers from Greenland I did a little research. Very little. It was tough to find ten facts about Greenland on the internet because outside of Greenland, nobody really knows what goes on there. Here are 10 possibly true facts about Greenland:

Music Monday: Imagine Dragons

A few weeks ago when I bought tickets to see these guys this Wednesday, I told a few people I was going, expecting them to say something like, “Cool!” or “They’re awesome.” Instead, the reaction I got from three different people was, “Who?” Am I crazy? I thought Imagine Dragons was tremendously popular on the level of Coldplay or someone like that. Am I crazy? Are there any of you who had never before heard of them before you read this?

Be sure to come back Friday because I’ve got a very sur...

America’s Royal Family: The Kardashians

In jolly olde England, and much of the world, people love “The Royals.” Their every move, meal and outing is chronicled. A day doesn’t go by without news about what they’re wearing or who visited them. That’s all well and good for the Brits and the Brit-o-philes over here in the States, but I think the United States has crowned their own “Royal Family”, The Kardashians.

Yes, I know you may be saying, “Blah, blah. blah Phil. We’ve heard enough about the Kardashians.” First, thank you for usi...
