Great Friday love song

Can't find a YouTube for it, but I'll tease you with the lyrics. Anyone who knows Pinkard and Bowden know they're geniuses when it comes to great song lyrics. I found an old one of theirs, a story of young growing up, based on two of the most beloved character's in American children's fiction, Dick... Sign in to see full entry.

Haven't been around lately, but will be back...

Here's a stupid joke to keep everyone going, "Damn, I wish he would stay away more!" Q: Did you hear about the guy who had five penises? A: His pants fit him like a glove! Is this thing on? I can hear ya'll breathing out there! Sign in to see full entry.

"You hit like a girl!"

Next time someone tells me that, I’m going to reply ever so blithely, “I wish.” That’s because after seeing Nadia Petrova blast 120 mile per hour thunderbolt serves all afternoon at the Family Circle, I realize once again that there are quite a few women who, quite frankly, kick major butt. Far more... Sign in to see full entry.

It's time to return to the links

Good for Phil Mickelson! The man turned in a flawless performance at the Masters, making the impossible look easy and the routine look reflexive. Congratulations, Mr. Mickelson for a fine performance, indeed. It occurs to me that I need to forget about everything annoying me lately and just go play... Sign in to see full entry.

Gaaahh! Not again!

It's even worse than before. Just when I finally managed to get "Billy Don't Be a Hero" out of my head, some neighborhood jackass is blasting "Living La Vida Loca" while he's washing his boat and I'm out on my run. Sadly, I must admit the song has a pretty good rhythm for my running pace -- but it... Sign in to see full entry.

Aaaughghh!Make it stop!

So I was just at lunch a little while ago in this quaint cafe downtown enjoying a plate of homemade meatloaf with mash 'em taters and fresh green beans when it happened. Before I could even think to shove mashed potatoes in my ears, the opening strains of a hideously familiar tune burst forth from... Sign in to see full entry.

The perils of pollen...

Wow! What a change! After all two and half of these long and frigid winter months it’s nice to see flowers in bloom, brilliant emerald grass, hardy weeds strangling those delicate bulbs you so carefully planted and fought squirrels away from last year, and the all-encompassing and omnipresent layer...

Gotta love bumper sticker humor...

I saw this on a car the other day -- certainly gets the mesage across: "If you're going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair." Other favorites I've seen lately: - "Horn broken, watch for finger" - "My kid had sex with your honor student" - "Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of just well...

I blame my parents...

Is it just me or are scam artists getting a lot more creative these days? Every day I run across yet another scheme to separate many desperate fools from their money. At first it’s amusing, then it’s sad, then it’s scary. You have to be somewhat amused at the lengths some people will go in their... Sign in to see full entry.

The sum of all fears is less than its parts...

Hi, there. I just want you all to know that I love you, each and every one of you. You are all like bits of sunshine and flowers and rainbows. You’re all so…beautiful! That’s because at the ripe middle age of 45, I just had my wisdom teeth out, and I’ve spent much of this weekend seriously bent on... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Flotsam, jetsam, tangled threads and ADD moments. Stupid jokes and esoteric observations. An occasional deep thought, even though I try like hell to weed those out as often as possible. This is just a comfortable place to come get an occasional chuckle or two. And yeah, I left for awhile -- most of us do at one point or another -- and now I am back. I feel no obligation to explain; suffice it to say, "There's no place like home."
