Glenn Vance – On Your Left

On Politics and Bicycling and many other silly things

  • Aliens

    I was in first grade when Star Wars was released in theaters, and it shaped my life going forward. The whole franchise has had its ups and downs, 1 but the original trilogy was like nothing that had come before and was copied, poorly, so many times after that. Luke was dreamy and all back…

  • I Have Missed This

    Many, many times over the past years I have said to myself, “I’m going to go back to writing.” And all of those times other things came up. Family, work, computer projects, moving, jobs, friends, etc, so many other things that were, naturally, more important than this silly thing. But I didn’t stop thinking about…

  • The Dying Art of Passing Courteously in Biking

    For the uninitiated out there, there are 2 types of biker — road bikers and off-road bikers (what non Texans would call mountain bikers, but we don’t have hardly any mountains, so…). I am an off-road biker and get fairly sick of the holier than thou attitude of most road bikers (which will be detailed…

  • 21 Years Later, We’re Still Taking Our Damn Shoes Off at the Airport Because of the Shoe Bomber

    I’m about to go on a trip in the very near future, and one thing I will have to do before boarding the airplane (since I have applied, but have not been interviewed or approved for the Global Entry program) is take my shoes off and run them through the metal detector at an airport…

  • Boba Fett is a Terrible Bounty Hunter

    Boba Fett, for all of his cool street cred and name recognition and raspy voice and supposed toughness, is just not very good at his chosen profession. Bounty hunters have to go after the worst of the worst, they’re basically mercenary police officers, and those kind of people have to have something about them that…

  • The song “Bells” from “Christmas In The Stars” Proves that Earth Exists in the Star Wars Universe

    Even though it existed long ago in a galaxy far, far away, the characters of Star Wars appear to know who Albert Einstein was, the proof being the song “Bells” from the 1980 album “Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album”.1 The plot: C-3PO and R2-D2 have been chatting previously about Christmas (from track…

  • Art Garfunkel

    I’ve always felt sorry for Art Garfunkel because its always felt like he’s gotten a raw deal from the music world. While Paul Simon has basked in the limelight for decades, poor Art could probably walk down the street and go completely unnoticed by the majority of Americans. On further examination though you see that…

  • The Blue’s Clues Ability to Skidoo Could Have Astounding Military Applications

    On almost every single episode of Blue’s Clues the human character (either Joe or Steve, or in the UK, Kevin) and the dog Blue “skidoo” somewhere, which is an amazingly simple form of teleporting (transporting oneself from one place to another instantly), whether onto the surface of a globe or into the image on a…

  • The Creative Mind of George Lucas Divines a New Star Wars Character

    The Place: Sky­walker Ranch.The Sit­u­a­tion: A cre­ative meet­ing is tak­ing place to cre­ate a new Star Wars char­ac­ter who will be the focus of a new live action tele­vi­sion series that takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi.Major brain­storm­ing is going on.The Peo­ple: Present are George Lucas and the…

  • When Christmas Carols Go Wrong

    I was out at the mall today buy­ing some stuff and and heard Bing Crosby singing “We Wish You a Merry Christ­mas” over the inter­com speak­ers and, being in a good mood that I was, lis­tened very closely to the lyrics. If you take them lit­er­ally the lyrics make the singer sound like a tool.…
