Fountain & Brewer: Super Bowl!

Posted on February 5, 2010 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Nothing like immersing oneself in the gaudy, All-American, around-the-clock hoopla that is Super Bowl Week. I mean, I GOTTA see the interview with the guy who wraps Dwight Freeney’s ankle. So, bottom line, who you got? Continue Reading →

Cutting Board #15

Posted on October 28, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Steve, you surprised me by admitting you watched a baseball game. You further revealed that you were actually caught up in the game’s inherent drama. Quite a confession from an NFL-addled ADD Super Steelers Fan. Steve: I admit I do dip… Continue Reading →

Posted on September 29, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Bruce Springsteen turned 60 last Wednesday. Sixty. The Boss. The Big Six-Oh. For some reason, this little Yahoo News tidbit floored me. I’m old enough to remember buying Greetings From Asbury Park (Bruce and the E Street Band’s debut album)… Continue Reading →

Posted on August 20, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: OK, it may be coming down to it. I may have to venture into the garage. Not to finally retrieve that socket wrench from under the water heater, but to actually CLEAN IT OUT. (The garage, that is. I’m… Continue Reading →

Cutting Board No. 11

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil:  The Cutting Board started as a masculine version of Doni and Kelly’s cyber-dialog The Dish. After reading last Friday’s installment of The Dish, I don’t know if either of us possesses the tact or sensitivity to take on a… Continue Reading →

Cutting Board #9

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Steve, I see you have a new profile picture on your Facebook page. Wry grin, furrowed brow, cool shades. You look like a character from one of your books. That is, if you wrote books about assassins who drive… Continue Reading →

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: I know you’re not much of a baseball fan (heretic! commie pinko rat!) but my favorite dreadlocked right-handed hitter is working himself back into playing shape from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy at the Dodgers’ Triple… Continue Reading →

  • Comment on Tuggle Tales: How roller skating captivated Redding by Shawn Schwaller
    In reply to Steve Towers. Yes, although understudied by historians, the public, unpredictable, and often disorganized nature of the emerging new mass culture environment in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries sometimes allowed LGBTQ+ people to blend in and go unnoticed. In many ways, this offered more anonymity than the post-WWII popular culture landscape, […]
  • Comment on Shasta County Disavows Violations of Personnel Rules and Policies by Clint Curtis, County Clerk/Registrar of Voters by Brad
    In reply to Tuck Frump. Trump didn’t pardon Peters, the Governor of Colorado commuted her sentence. She is and will forever more be a convicted felon. Trump threatened to withhold Federal funds if she was not let out of prison early. Curtis was simply trying to embarrass Shasta County after being censured.
