You Know That You Love It

Seems like all of the good shows are being replaced by "reality" shows. I don't watch much, but I still see the trend. High school classmates stuck in a home together........20 years after graduation. The one about parking police. This is a good one, one that reflects just why we watch and what...

Knight's Redneck Truth...For Taps

Taps hit the nail on the head in one of her comments here. Rednecks are portrayed as being lazy and stupid. Nothing could be further from the truth. They were hillbillies; poor folks from the Virginias and surrounding areas; coal miners. They worked hard to provide a life for their families, always... Sign in to see full entry.

A Redneck and his Dog

One hot summer day, a redneck came to town with his dog, tied it under the shade of a tree and headed into the bar for a cold one. Twenty minutes later, a policeman entered the bar and asked, "who owns the dog tied under that tree outside?" The redneck said that it was his. "Your dog seems to be in... Sign in to see full entry.

Knights Blogger Analysis

I was at work the other day, it was kind of slow and I found many of my salespeople in the lounge watching "Are you smarter than a fifth grader". One of the questions was "can fire destroy a diamond?" The question was asked and this was followed by a commercial break. It took seconds before the crew... Sign in to see full entry.

Knight's Perspective

What is a billion? We hear those in congress asking for billions for this and billions for that. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend. One advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. 1) A billion seconds ago, it was 1959 2) A... Sign in to see full entry.

Knights Vestige

They were gathering places for friends and families; a type of tailgate party. I remember some that went from dusk till dawn, featuring all of the "B" grades. The marquee would signal an end of winter and the beginning of spring with it's announcement of new features. Gone. The last of the drive-in... Sign in to see full entry.

Knight Says No to Higher Education

I am in a business where I see peoples credit reports. One thing that I have noticed, and the thing that upsets me is when I see someone employed in one field or another that has borrowed (most are government loans) money for schooling. The problem is that they are in default, or the loan is in... Sign in to see full entry.

Knights Slippage of Time

Where does the time go? It is so true that there are just not enough hours in a day. What about all of things that are designed to save us time? Where does the time saved go? It seems that we keep moving faster and faster, a minute saved here allows us to spend two more minutes there, and in doing... Sign in to see full entry.

Knights Bitch

Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all. If it ever happens, just pull the plug." So she got up, unplugged the... Sign in to see full entry.
