Dec. 31st, '14/1st, '15 - So, I don’t mind admitting that I’ve been “drunk” a time or two in my life. I’m not saying that I am particularly proud of that fact or anything, but then again, I’m not all that ashamed of it either. Probably because I don’t remember all of the horrible antics during my drunken episodes! But still, somehow through the thick fog and haze...

Dec. 30th/31st, 2014 - So, I caught the “CRUD”. You know what the “CRUD” is don’t you? Some people call it a “bug” and some people call it a “cold”. But it is the “CRUD”. And it is so named because it makes you feel like CRUD. Oh well, there are worse ailments to have for sure, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. But I will. Yeah,...

Dec. 29th/30th, 2014 - So, "why did I walk into this room?" Have you ever asked yourself that question? Welcome to my reality! No, I don’t have Alzheimer's yet. YET! It is a question that plagues all of humanity at some point. All of us who live long enough will think of something that we need to do, and when it happens we will readily leave our current location to go do it. Then...

Dec. 27th/28th, 2014 - So, as I have written about before, people do all kinds of strange things to their bodies. They pierce themselves with all manner of metal objects, from ear rings to nose rings. Some folks have “horns” surgically implanted into their heads. And I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of the Dude who transformed himself into a “human lizard” before. But sometimes, people do things...

Did you see yesterday’s edition? She did exactly what I described that she would do, except she ignored our command to go back to bed and began screaming up the staircase at...

Dec. 24th/25th, 2014 - So, this is the “Big Event”. The day children of all ages have been waiting for all year. It’s finally CHRISTMAS! Oh man, when I was a kid, Christmas took approximately nine years to arrive. It’s TRUE! The only time a kid could expect to get “presents” back in the day was on his or her birthday or at Christmas. And when you are a child, what in the...

WHAT?!?! Yeah, just a typical crime story. A drunken dude, a rifle, and a …….rubber chicken? Folks, I’m sorry but...

Yeah, it doesn’t usually happen any other time of the year, but...

Yeah, one of the inescapable facts of the Season is that no matter where in this country you live, at least one radio station in your town has been playing Christmas Music 24 hours a day since Thanksgiving. Every single song is...

Dec. 17th/18th, 2014 - So, one of my family’s traditions during the Christmas Season is to break out and watch all of the old classic Holiday Movies. Yeah, it truly is one of the best ways to help get you into the Spirit of the Season. Now some of our favorites are the following – A Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th St., It’s a Wonderful Life, and, of course, A Christmas Carol. Only the originals will do, and each of those films is...

This is where you insert the drummer’s “rim shot” right? But obviously he was referring to one of the many colorful names people use for the...

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling our Founding Fathers “bums” or saying that they frequently “passed out” in public like a bunch of wild frat boys. In fact, they were some of the greatest minds...

You’re just lucky to be living in the good old U.S. of A., because many of these chemicals that you love so much are...

Yeah, it's a strange thing to say I suppose, but you do read about it all of the time in the news. It is the number one lead story on every local T.V. news broadcast too! It starts the same way every night at 6:00 p.m....

Of course, I’m not a naked man…..at the moment…..as far as you know….I mean, unless you happen to stumble upon this site while...

I time like September 7, 2007 when the biggest problem a man faced in dealing with the police was in trying to get his porn collection back.WHAT?!?!?
