Spring is creeping in...literally

Finally, some semblance of spring! I know, I know; we had one morning with six inches of snow on the ground. It never got below 25 degrees all winter. Yada, yada. I don't care; I live in the South for a reason, and that reason is warmth. I don't want it to feel balmy to people who live in the Arctic... Sign in to see full entry.

Aging gracefully, but not willingly...

It’s time for another family reunion, a gathering of good folks I haven’t seen in awhile. Among other things, this will mean numerous fruitless attempts to recognize children of said people I haven’t seen. It’s weird, this process of aging through the children of my siblings, relatives, and friends.... Sign in to see full entry.

Careful what you wish for, or Strat's Dumb Joke of the Day: Part XIV

So these two good ol boys are cruising along one night in General Lee, or rather, their '78 Trans Am, having a good ol time when the blue light gets behind them and the sirens blare. The driver, Buck, pulls over. As the huge deputy sheriff approaches the driver's side, Buck rolls down the window and... Sign in to see full entry.

An interesting discovery...

My buddy motions to me, a finger to his lips. Be quiet, even though no one is home. “What,” I hiss back, in all my ten-year-old impatience. “Look,” he whispers excitedly, pointing to his dad’s sock drawer. “What is it?” He slaps his forehead as though to say, “This kid is such a moron,” even though...

Strat's Dumb Joke of the Day: Wisdom from across the Pond...

Paddy is planning to marry, he is, and asks his family doctor how he could tell if his bride-to-be is still a virgin. His doctor says, "Aye, Paddy, all Irish use three things for what we call a Do-It-Yourself.... Virginity Test Kit.... a small can of red paint, a small can of blue paint and a...

Bustin' a few egregious myths

Whoever said money couldn’t buy happiness either never had it or just took it too seriously. With enough money, you can, in fact, buy a lot of happiness, or rather, peace of mind, which is a very clearly marked and well-paved route to happiness. You just have to do it right. I have always said I... Sign in to see full entry.

Rules -o- the road

So I had to take a special driving test not too long ago, something to do for work. I didn’t need it -- I am the world’s most knowledgeable and greatest driver – but it was pretty amusing. I especially liked the parts in the soundtrack that emulated screeching tires and breaking glass. But then I... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, another talking critter joke...

A duck walks into a bar and sits on a stool. The bartender walks up and says, "What can I do you for?" The duck says, "Give me a beer. I've had a hell of a day." The bartender is amazed. "You can talk!" he says, astonished. The duck says, "Yeah, so what? Now how about that beer." The bartender pours... Sign in to see full entry.

Strat's dumb Joke of the Day

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home. She read. 'And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections in a rare southern snow drift

One almost never sees a snowman standing next to a palm tree. So I am glad to report that I have, in fact, witnessed such a phenomenon. Even took a picture of it. Now that the snow is gone, however, I’m ready for this winter to be done. Global warming, my hairy elbow; if there is such a thing, it... 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."
