This Museum is Built Not of Stone Walls, But of Letters
An unusual museum constructed not of stone walls but of letters has been announced by CCA Media, with the release of the Wacks Museum by Bill Russo.
Admission is free for a limited time to the exhibits which range from the original "Chucky" Devil Doll, a visit to the land of 10,000 Flakes, a ghost town filled with cowboys who ride Model T Cars, a frozen stiff who wasn't, and much more.
The 40,000 word novella was distributed exclusively on Smashwords before being released to Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Kindle, Apple and other online retailers.

How To Unsubscribe from Foreign Emails that You Cannot Even Read
A "How To" on What to Do
when your e-mail account is loaded with advertising in languages you cannot read and you have no idea
how to unsubscribe from them:
By Bill Russo
So today I spent my morning like many others; with a cup of coffee and a boatload of frustration at my inability to figure out how to delete more than a dozen different foreign advertisements clogging up my inbox.
Some of the emails were from stores. Others promoted specific products. All were in languages that are completely unreadable to me. I tried and tried to find something that looked like the English word "Unsubscribe".
I like to clean my E-mail account on a regular basis and get rid of all the unwanted ones. It's usually easy to do. You simply hit "Unsubscribe" and they're gone.
But what about these foreign e-mails? You can't read them. You can't delete them...they just come back again. How does some company in Finland, Germany, or France get my Email address?
I finally solved this small crisis by researching the foreign words for UNSUBSCRIBE and then scanning the tag ends of the offending communications for words like ABMELDEN (German for unsub), Se desebonner (French), Afmeldon (Dutch) and MALAMONI (Esperanto for unsubscribe).
It worked. I was able to get rid of half a dozen habitual offenders.
Here's a few more translations. Finland: Loreta Tilaus, Italian: Annulla l'iscrizione --- or as my Paisan Nonno (Grandfather) would say 'Get Out u Summa ma beech'.

U. S. President Shares UFO Secrets with Jackie Gleason
UFO SECRETS GIVEN TO
JACKIE GLEASON BY THE
UNITED STATES PRESIDENT?
The gifted Brooklyn native, Jackie Gleason, was one of television's top entertainers from the 1950s to the 80s. He also is the most successful bandleader in the history of music, Music for Lovers Only, which he conducted, spent a record 153 weeks in the Billboard Top Ten. It was just one of dozens of "Mood Music" hits issued by Gleason on Capitol Records.
Most people, even the young set, have heard of Jackie the comic, but few know that he was an avid student of the PARANORMAL. He maintained a massive library of books and engaged in serious research.
And then there's this. President Richard M. Nixon summoned Jackie to the White House where he shared UFO secrets with Gleason.
What secrets did the president reveal? According to some sources the President took Jackie to a secure facility and showed him alien bodies. The figures were child-sized with pointy ears. Highly intelligent they possessed smooth, evolved bald heads.

Facebook Bans Harmless Trump Meme
FACEBOOK BANS HARMLESS TRUMP MEME
As a regular commenter on politics in blogs and on Facebook, I have occasionally attempted humorous memes and cartoons directed at President Donald Trump. It's my belief that they were harmless and were not malicious.
My most recent meme was preceded with the following comments...
"I don't care if you are Red or Blue or of a transparent hue..
It's satire. A bit of fun for me and I hope a laugh for you..."
After those two lines I submitted the following meme. It was not accepted by Facebook. I tried three times and three times it failed to be transmitted to my newsfeed.
Dear Facebook
Say it isn't funny. Say I'm not funny. But don't say I can't say it! This is the modern day equivalent of book burning. What happened to free speech?
Has Facebook been frightened by White House insiders? Were they instructed to delete anything that would make Donald Trump look foolish, weak, or old?
Will anyone posting something similar also be blocked? Am I on a White House list?
If you don't hear anything further from me. If you read that I was found lifeless with bottles of pills scattered around my corpse - it was not suicide.
Dial M for Murder!
