So I watched this made-for-TV movie called MURDER BY NATURAL CAUSES because they talked about it on a COLUMBO podcast that I like. It stars Hal Holbrook, but I think this VHS box art makes him look as much like MCMILLAN & WIFE-era Rock Hudson. I wonder if that's by design...

So there's this event happening in X-Men comics called DNX, right? BUT! "DNX" is also the title of the novel that my friend K. Savage wrote. It's YA dystopian sci-fi with a non-binary protagonist.

I'd also like to give some recognition to April Wahlin, the actor and author who "won" the 2007 reality competition TV show THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT ELVIRA. She is charming and talented. It is not her fault that the show's premise was flawed.

And here's me with a couple of the Elvira cosplayers that I met at the same convention. I sent this pic to the one I handcuffed, and she responded "That's not me". Reader, it was her. I keep track of these things.

I worked at a used bookstore that also handled DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records. One day we got in a copy of Dolly Parton's The Great Pretender. This is the image on the back of the album. I mean, good Lord... I bought it, took it home, framed it and hung it on my wall.

Proof! The TV version of HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS is streaming on tubi! As you can imagine, the idea of "everyday suburban woman becomes balloon-boobed blonde bombshell" had a significant impact on my adolescent psyche.

Screenshot from the Halloween episode of the TV comedy HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS in which the character Nancy (played by Molly Cheek) is dressed as Dolly Parton with a large curly blonde wig, and sparkly cowgirl outfit with big fake boobs. She is standing next to a sasquatch and a woman dressed as a flower.

"Oh, not me, sir. No, I'd say the most plausible scenario is that somebody went to your house with the intention of killing Mr. Stone, shot him in the garage, and then made the phone call from inside the house." "Who would do that, Lieutenant?" 18/

Dave "Just the Facts" Amiott @damiott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

"I see. I see what you're getting at, sir. And, I'll admit, the situation as you describe it does at least seem possible. But not likely." "Not likely. Well, based on the evidence at hand, I'd say that's the most plausible scenario." 17/

"So, they left the one man behind to make the call and take the credit! The whole point was to make me scared, after all, and any attempt on my life - successful or not - would do that!" 16/

"Well, we don't know exactly what their plan might have been. Maybe they could have tried to run me off the road. Or shot at me stopped at an intersection. All they knew was that there were going to try SOMETHING!" 15/

Dave "Just the Facts" Amiott @damiott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

"I suppose that's possible, sir. But how would they know how long to tell the man to wait? They would have no way of knowing where you were going or when they might have the chance to shoot you." 14/

"So what if there were several men in the car watching my hotel. They see Harry dressed in my coat, driving my car. They assume it's me. BUT! Before they start to follow, they have one of the men get OUT of the car and tell him to make the phone call in, say, an hour. Could that have happened?" 13/

"Have you found anything to disprove that theory?" "Nothing to prove or disprove it, sir. Not so far." 12/

Dave "Just the Facts" Amiott @damiott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

"Well, how about this: You remember my theory that there was more than one person in the car? Someone driving and someone shooting? Maybe even more than that?" "I remember you suggested that, sir, yes." 11/

LATER- "The station ran out of gas and closed early. 8 o'clock." "So you're saying that there's no way the killer could have left my house after the shooting and made the phone call to the police in the timeframe you've laid out, is that right, Lieutenant?" "I don't see how they could, sir." 10/

Dave "Just the Facts" Amiott @damiott.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

"So, there could have been one man in the car to do the driving, while a man in the passenger seat did the shooting. And the angles would be about right in that case, wouldn't they?" "About right, sir." 6/

I rewatched the 2015 animated series MOONBEAM CITY. It's a solid 7 out of 10. Great voice performances by Elizabeth Banks and Will Forte. There were a few times when it seemed like Rob Lowe didn't understand the joke he was making. Anyway, it's way better than STRIP LAW.
