The ultimate test of sanity

Is your life boring? Are you foolishly content? Want to test the strength of the ties that bind, the elasticity of your patience, the extent of your very sanity? One word: Move. It’s all that, and it’s slightly safer than, say, going out and inviting meaningless death by randomly taunting... Sign in to see full entry.

Strat's dumb joke of the day...

A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two large plastic Garbage bags with her, one in each hand. Unfortunately, there's a rip In one of the bags and every once in a while a $20 note falls out onto The pavement Noticing this, a policeman stops her. ' Ma'am, there are $20 bills...

This old house...

“Well I just blew into town about an hour ago; took a look around see which way the wind blows…” Jim Morrison So once again, I find myself back in the Lowcountry, a situation I keep repeating about every 3-5 years. This is good; I love the Lowcountry. It happened pretty quickly, but life has a way... Sign in to see full entry.

Sharp dressed man

I know I'm a lucky man. The luckiest: My Beloved obviously loves me. Why else would she put up with me? Right now, we are in the throes of moving to the coast -- I just got a new job down there and we’re looking forward to it, but at the moment, life is distracting, to put it mildly. I also must...

The other side of warm and fuzzy...

I realize that I have written much about beloved pets over the years. Face it; I pretty much love all critters --even the ones I eat. But what about the other side? What about the furry little bundles of joy that inexplicably and inexorably metamorphose from adorable kittens or puppies to hairy... Sign in to see full entry.

Rotten Tomato Soup for the Soul

Occasionally, there are times when one just runs out of things to say. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Confucius, or was it Mark Twain, said, “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Alas, even though it is better, here I go...

Strat's inane thought of the day...

Another important message from faceless friends out there, somewhere.... OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel. OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel. Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel. Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil! Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel ass!!! Sign in to see full entry.

Strat's dumb joke of the day -- and utterly politically incorrect!

This greeted me in email this morning. I just had to share... THE DAY IT ALL STARTED It was March 6, 1836. On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and rose from his bunk on the main floor of the Alamo. He then walked up to the observation post along the west wall of this fort. William B. Travis...

And now for something completely different...

On rare occasions, I am dumb enough to get into political discussions with friends. On even rarer occasions, someone will ask me why I don’t run for office. Generally, I laugh and say, “You wouldn’t want that.” To prove that, I decided to write the campaign speech I will use, should I ever have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday News Flash...

This morning's email headline: "News stations are reporting that gas stations will start showing PORN movies on the screens of the pumps so that you can see someone else get screwed at the same time you do." Happy Monday and happy motoring! Sign in to see full entry.
