Dystopic Insomniac Reflections...

I finally have reached rock bottom. I can’t think of anything at all to say, at least not in any particular order. But apparently that doesn’t really matter, at least not at 3:17 a.m. Praise God, any one, Allah to Zeus, take your pick. Or not. Oh I could go on ad nauseam about some of the things...

'Tis a fine line we walk...

So I recently read about a guy somewhere out in California who is suing the National Park Service because a 16 pound pine cone fell on his head, causing brain damage, while he was taking a nap under a tree. The tree is a type of pine tree not indigenous to the area and known for producing these... Sign in to see full entry.

Fiddling among the embers...

There’s an old adage, something about never discussing religion or politics with friends or family, unless you want to get rid of them forever. I am finding that to be true now more than ever, especially in this age of social media, where the apex of human intelligence appears to be summed up every... Sign in to see full entry.

Three Rings and a Tent...

Remember the early ’80s movie “Top Secret?” It was a sleeper, brought to us by the zany folks who brought us such classics as “Airplane!” and “Kentucky Fried Movie.” Here was a classic exchange: He: “I’m not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be...

My name is Strat and I approved this message...

So I see where once again, some politicians attempted to whoop up the masses with something that didn’t belong to them. Michael Stipe, lead singer/songwriter for the iconic rock band REM, was known, at least in the early days of his career, of singing largely unintelligible phrases and syllables. In...

More deep thoughts...

Somewhere on this planet, they never get old, they don’t get sick and they never die. They never even use the bathroom. Meanwhile, back in reality world, the place where my midlife crisis was the only thing I’ve ever done early in my entire life, I have come to another set of not-too-deep thoughts....

More notes to self...

What’s up with this Ashley Madison thing? For those of you who are somehow able to escape the cacophony of internet noise, Ashley Madison was a website created for the sole purpose of helping philandering spouses all over the world go a-roving, as it were. It was a members-only dating site for... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a pretty theory...

So I read where a company called Snake River is now marketing a product called Dronemunition. Snake River is, I believe, a manufacturer of ammunition. Dronemunition, according to Snake River’s website, is especially good for – you guessed it – shooting down drones. “Prepare for the Drone Apocalypse!... Sign in to see full entry.

A man for all seasons, sort of...

So another video of an elusive, mythical creature has hit the Internet, this time someone’s cell phone video of a possible Sasquatch, shot not too far away in the North Carolina mountains. That’s Bigfoot for all you people who have somehow missed the last six decades of good old American “I’ve got... Sign in to see full entry.

Not in my back yard!

I think I may have a new hero. Well done, William Merideth, well done! I am talking, of course, about the Kentucky man who, upon seeing a drone hovering in the middle in his back yard with a video camera, did what anyone would probably do if they had any gumption: he grabbed his shotgun and blew it...

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."
