Today’s article was originally an ode to the gushing fire hydrant of failure that The Walking Dead has become. I made several attempts at completing it, but my mind couldn’t focus on the task at hand. My thoughts kept wandering back to the passing of Patrice O’Neal, which I had […]
The strip club is a favorite topic on Papa’s Basement. There’s this episode we did after a visit to West Virginia’s Vixens, the home to many a broken girl’s shattered dream. And this article about a visit to Vegas’ Hustler Club. And this written tale about the visit to Vixens […]

Things start with me screaming ’til I lose my voice about the disrespectful c-u-next-Tuesday I had on my show two weeks ago. My bile sufficiently vented, I turn my attention to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and ask my co-hostess what the Hell women see in that crap. (Thankfully not […]

By now, most of you are familiar with the abhorrent details of the case against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky: That he (allegedly) diddled the holy Hell out of eight boys between the mid-1990s and the late-2000s. That he founded The Second Mile, a program to assist underprivileged […]
The gang discusses their Halloween adventures in Richmond, containing such incidents as a trip to goth/fetish club, practically banging a girl in front of her fiancee and the sighing of several women large enough to make Tracy Morgan’s heart skip a beat.
