CSI Thespia, Ancient Greece: Did Narcissus Fall or Was He Pushed?

I don't buy it. I don't think he was just that transfixed that he was trying to get closer and closer to his reflection and just fell in the water. Anyone who isn't doped up on something would have to notice that they were falling. You'd expect them to try to splash or swim or at least tread water.... Sign in to see full entry.

Please don’t say that anymore! Your Yiddish SUCKS!

What I should have said to the boss who told me she didn’t want us sitting around kibbutzing on the production floor. It’s kibbitzing! Twit! Sign in to see full entry.

Welcome. Now Get Out!

I have written separately on the Gay Marriage Ban amendment which we are voting on in Texas right now. I just heard that Austin is getting a visit from the 4th Reich tomorrow. They will be there with their shock troops and clad in their robes and conical hoods. They'll be brandishing crosses and... Sign in to see full entry.

How to Properly Address a Blogger

Someone tried to call me "Raymie" once. I literally cringed at the sound of it. They might as well had dragged their nails down a chalkboard. "Raymie" sounds like a 9-year old lederhosen-wearing boy with one of those funny looking hats that appears in Norman Rockwell paintings. Nothing wrong with... Sign in to see full entry.

Request Denied

When Administration Officials, and the First Lady is an Administration Official, receive correspondence like this, I have to wonder whether their devotion to the President causes their eyeballs to glaze over and the correspondence ends up in the file down by the side of their desk, whether it gets...

Would a Blogger Lie to Spare Someone's Feelings?

Well I went about this in totally the wrong way, and it backfired, but here's what happened...I had been talking with someone on the phone I had encountered from the online studhorse service that you may have seen me mention before. Okay emails and conversations were going okay. Then she sent me her... Sign in to see full entry.

Cheap!

There was a time not long ago when we didn't feel a sense of relief at seeing $2.25/Gal. It is nice to be able to fill up my truck for under $40. Not much under $40. But still under. Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging Breathless: The Darth Vader Predicament

This Halloween I went as a space alien grim reaper character for Halloween. This is the result of a Friday trip to Party Pig where I bought the mask. Then things kind of took shape and meandered from there until yesterday at about 2pm. I am kind of a visual shopper. I go places and I tend to have a... Sign in to see full entry.

Observations from This Weekend

A person going into the convenience store restroom with a popsicle looks a little funny. Going to Whole Foods Market to buy a sixpack of Lone Star Beer may be a prudent social investment, but it looks a little odd. Dude with bicycle rack on back of Mazda 3: I appreciate that you're a biker, but try... Sign in to see full entry.

On Communication

One’s point is made before one’s mouth ever opens. --Sun Tzu: The Art Of War Okay, Sun Tzu never said that. But I’ll bet a truckload of Oolong Tea the thought crossed his mind. It’s been said communication is a two-way street, and I’d like to believe that. At least I’ve tried to keep that as a... Sign in to see full entry.
