Confession time, folks: Your humble blogger had to deal with an entire universe and a half of technical and internet issues yesterday, and had no time to write anything new. 

So…we’re going to take advantage of the rich history of this blog and bring you a PopCulteer column that was originally published ten years ago today. Remember the PopCult motto: Fresh Content Every Day, Even When It’s Half-assed! 

Ironically, this particular post was also half-assed due to technical issues happening at our old stomping grounds, The Charleston Gazette, back in the day. And if it was half-assed then, and half-assed now, that means that, together, this is now a completely-assed post! 

The PopCulteer
May 8, 2015

Hey, you know that underground explosion in Charleston Thursday evening? Well, it seemed to have knocked the Gazette’s blogs askew on treadle, so I didn’t even bother writing a PopCulteer last night.

I wasn’t forsaking you. Reports were that the power wouldn’t be restored until the weekend, so putting together a “Stuff To Do” seemed pointless. I wasn’t happy with the thought that my streak of consecutive days posting to PopCult would be interrupted at 627, but as I awoke on Friday morning, the news is that power should be restored to the Charleston Newspapers Building by noon.

And I don’t have a PopCulteer written. And I have stuff to do this morning. So, you’re getting a short column filled with videos and pictures. At least the streak continues. Enjoy!

I posted this Sunday. Nobody noticed.

That’s it for this half-hearted PopCulteer. Let’s hope you get to see this sometime Friday, and then we get back to all our regular features.
