LMFAO
Back by Popular Demand
Actually no demand at all, but I’ve added the poll back onto the site. I don’t think anyone missed it, or if they did I didn’t hear about it. But, as Say Uncle says, “Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.” I think he only says that because “Powered by Spite” was taken. [...]
Mellish Meter Revealed!!!
I’m going to go ahead and preface this post with a disclaimer–it’s going to get stupid and, as LL Cool J would say, ridicalous (misspelled on purpose for all you sticklers). Ok, so I have a really bad habit of posting the Mellish Meter rankings on Twitter when I hear them. Â What is the Mellish [...]
Where Are We Going? And Why Am I in This Handbasket?
At last night’s Knoxville Overground Awards I was talking to Jen, who I’d previously known only through Twitter, about how closely we are aligned in our political philosophy. As I told her, I think there may be only two of us left, so it probably isn’t safe or wise for us to be in the [...]
Thank You Veterans!
That’s not really enough to show my appreciation for the job that you guys do. The best I can do is share one of my favorite stories my grandfather wrote down for us. I’ve posted a couple of things he wrote before in different contexts. This is a short one about two “feasts” he had [...]
My Favorite Cock Fighting Song
You read that right.  I have a favorite song about cock fighting. There was a time when the only Spanish words I knew were “hola”, “gallo”, “del”, “cielo”, and “borracho” .  That means half of my vocabulary was a direct result of listening to this song. Now I know all kinds of new words and phrases [...]
Tennessee Football–What I’d Do
Actually, it’s what I’d do in just about any situation. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about football at all. I mean, I played for 10 years, but most of the teams I played on weren’t very good, so it’s safe to assume that most of what I learned was wrong [...]
Here’s What I’m Trying to Say
Here are ten phrases and terms I’d like to work into my daily conversation arsenal: My sources are telling me The biggest no-brainer in the history of earth Working like heck Boondoggle Let’s break this down Change That’s a good point My old lady I don’t think you understand your question Not guilty There are [...]
I Don’t Feel Like Writing
But these people do. Â So go read their posts. LissaKay on how socialism works. Â Notice the guy at the top pays the same amount either way. BillyMac has fun playing with John McCain’s tongue. Â Strange fetish. Why Libertarians and true conservatives don’t win elections. Â Duh. Seth Godin writes a post about me–too small to fail. [...]
We Interrupt This Race For Some Negativity
There’s no way I’d ever run for public office. Â Ok, maybe I would just out of spite, but I’d never do it with any illusions about my electibility. Â I seems political success is somehow tied to likability, which disqualifies me. Â But just in case I do run, here’s a little head start for my opponents [...]
Stock Market Realization
I just realized last night why the ol’ gov’ment is so concerned about the stock market’s behavior over the last couple of weeks–they are afraid of competition. Â I’m not talking about competition among business operating in an free market. Â I’m talking about the free market’s competition with the gov’ment. Up until now, the only way [...]
