Quotes that might have been

We find William Shakespeare downing a few pints with friends in the neighborhood pub. The conversation is enthralling and a few charming ladies are hanging on his every word. But, alas, the ale has gone to his bladder and he is nearly squirming as his urgency grows by the minute. He is afraid that if he leaves to go to the bathroom, Sir Francis Bacon will away with the wenches and the Bard of Avon will have no one calling. That angst, with some modification begat one of his better known lines,... Sign in to see full entry.

The adventures of dining out

Mother’s Day and lots of us will take our dear mommys to a fine restaurant to treat her to a meal. Everyone is anticipating a sumptuous repast and looking forward to surreptitiously loosening their belts, well at least us guys are. As Robbie Burns so aptly noted: “The best laid plans aft gang agley!” Now you don’t have to be a Gaelic scholar to know what that means, you just have to have been disappointed at a less than fine dining establishment. Such as the place we went today. In the past,... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger falls off edge of his garage

“You really need to keep me!” said the old box covered with spider webs and dust. I stood in the middle of a garage full of old boxes covered with spider webs and dust and they all seemed to beseech me to keep them. But in the hard light of day, I had to interrogate them all. “You there” I commanded, “yes, you, full of old paint cans that have been around since the Carter administration, what can you possibly do to make my life easier?” Of course, old dried up paint cans can’t talk so off to the...

Drunken doctors

A little known “fact” – patients seeing a certain doctor, who was fond of imbibing, were curious about their aliment. It seems after drinking copious amounts of Merlot, they all fell ill. The doctor, who had been right there with them mumbled, “S’wine flu” and a worldwide scare was born. Maybe I shouldn’t joke, but the only pandemic I see is a worldwide media focus on anything but the economy. That said, I am off to consult with America’s newest car conglomerate, Chrysler, Fiat and an unnamed... Sign in to see full entry.

Modern times

Time, it has been said, flies when you’re having fun. I have news for who ever said that, it also flies when you're doing things mundane. Just today I was inquiring about pickup prices and the particular model I am interested in, a regular cab truck, isn’t available in the 2008 and 2009 models. I was told, however that it would be available in 2010. I sighed dejectedly thinking about having to drive my old clunker for a couple more years. Then the salesman said they would be getting those in... Sign in to see full entry.

The invention of economic bailouts..sort of.

We find Og and Zog on a hunting and gathering mission. Og: So Zog, how is retirement planning coming along? Zog: Not good, since Cave Street fiasco, nest egg all gone. Og: Ponzy scheme? Zog: No, me put all eggs in one basket. Og: How many times I tell you diversify? Zog: Me had chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, Platypus eggs, Ostrich eggs, how much more diverse can me get? Og: But all in one basket, that big problem. Zog: Me know! When saber tooth tiger scare crap out of me, drop basket and... Sign in to see full entry.

Humor eludes me

Every spring I have this same sense of wonder and foreboding. Everything is turning a wonderful shade of green, and my lawmower is also green. Soon it will start. So I present a previously posted platitude prepetuating my attitude about yard chores. These are the times that try the soles of men’s shoes, especially when wrestling the old human powered reel mower that was once a yard ornament his grandparents inherited back in the Ice Age. It is a heavy beast, made of the finest cast iron and the... Sign in to see full entry.

But I WANT to pay my taxes!

After all, the government needs my money more than I do. I mean those poor slobs at AIG must be struggling with those puny bonuses they got paid. I also know the government is very careful with my money and wouldn’t waste one cent of it on frivolous items or projects. So to the Tea Party I say the heck with you, unclench your selfish little fists and give good old Uncle Sam his due! I also believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy (although you never see Richard Simmons and the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Easter Wabbits tail

Reporter: How did it all start Mr. E. Bunny. E. Bunny: (Shown in profile to protect his identity) Innocently enough, like most vices, a guy in an alley offered my a brightly colored egg. I cracked it open and ate it, it was good, the best egg I ever had. Of course with eggs, once they are eaten that’s it, gone, so I just had to have another one. One thing led to another and now I devote all my energy to getting an egg fix. Reporter: Just how did you start associating yourself with Easter? E.... Sign in to see full entry.
