A town by almost any other name would more than likely be better . . .

HOW DID THIS ONE DUCK UNDER THE RADAR FOR SO LONG? Strap yourselves in, gang. Once again, some newspaper has provided me with more eye-rolling, head-shaking fodder that of course I’m compelled to share with the rest of you ( the Observation Deck has been busy this week! ). I’ll be curious to read... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you mean you forgot how to laugh? I'll solve that right now . . .

A DOSE OF WHACKY WITTICISMS SHOULD DO THE TRICK! Still shakin’ the Sand Man out of your eyes? Well, maybe we can get him laughin’ too... Ring around the rosy, A pocketful of posies. Ashes, ashes, We all fall down. Then we get up, brush ourselves off, and get as far away from those roses as possible!... Sign in to see full entry.

Coming soon to a diner or restaurant near you: coffee, tea or bullets?

THE WILD, WILD WEST HAS BEEN REBORN! Once again, I’ve come across yet another article that left me shaking my head, somewhat speechless. Sometimes I just don’t know where we’re headed as a society! Is it anarchy? Is it total freedom? Is it apocalyptic? Is it Nirvana? I just can’t tell anymore. Read... Sign in to see full entry.

On most police cars it says TO SERVE AND PROTECT. Do YOU believe it?

WHAT DOES IT SAY WHEN YOU CHOOSE POSSIBLE DEATH OVER SAFETY? Here’s another one of those articles I came across recently that may really open up a can of worms for some people. It sure got me thinking! Let’s see what it does for you... Man killed after refusing ride from police identified The... Sign in to see full entry.

Wake up! Wake up! It's Monday! Time to see if your funny bone still works!

LEND ME YOUR EAR AND I’LL LEND YOU SOME QUIPS! Just give ’em back when you’re done! Laughing, that is. Ready? * This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed at home, This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none. And this little piggy went “Wee wee wee” all the way home.... Sign in to see full entry.

Trash along the roadside is one thing, but this is getting ridiculous!

THEY JUST DON’T MAKE ’EM LIKE THEY USED TO! Once again, I can’t speak for any other part of the country ( or any other country, for that matter ), but here in New Jersey, one of our greatest blemishes has got to be the various trash strewn along the sides of some of our highways! Naturally, there... Sign in to see full entry.

Any idea what Mickey Mouse and Claude Rains may soon have in common?

THAT GAME OF ‘CAT & MOUSE’ IS GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE ITS RULES SOON! Once again, I came across yet another article in the newspaper that raised my eyebrows a bit. Let’s see if I can raise yours... How these research rodents are clearly different Researchers have found a way to make see-through mice,... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's dispense with the formalities and get with the jokes! It's Monday!

A LITTLE CRAZY COMEDY TO START YOUR WEEK No warming up in the bullpen! Let’s get right to it... *Goosy Goosy Gander where shall I wander, Upstairs, downstairs and in my lady’s chamber. There I met an old man who wouldn’t say his prayers, I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs. He... Sign in to see full entry.

What types of products do you think are coming out of YOUR state?

JUST BECAUSE IT’S WELL-KNOWN DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN IT’S THE NUMBER ONE EXPORT! I came across this list the other day that I thought was very interesting. It shows what amounts to be the leading export from every state in the union. Many of them surprised me, partly because I never knew these... Sign in to see full entry.

They unintentionally break your heart when they're THIS cute and friendly!

THAT ‘PLEASE TAKE ME HOME’ LOOK CAN BE DEVASTATING Last weekend, I was hanging out with a friend when he asked me to take a ride with him to pick up a few things.

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
