The Pilot Announced…

the plane was going to crash.  They were headed for sure doom.  A lady stood up and said, “Before we crash, is there any man on this plane that can make me feel like a real woman one last time?” A man promptly removed his shirt and said, “Here, iron this.” I just thought I’d [...]


No Place Like Home

We had a great time on our trip to Miami, but it is great to be home again and back into our regular schedule.  I couldn’t believe the story about the shooting at Hooter’s here in Knoxville–how tragic.  I actually found out about it while reading Total Diatribe…thanks Billy Mac! With a week of almost [...]


Headed for Fairer Weather

Round 1 of Christmas is over…at least the Knoxville portion. Headed to Miami and 80 degree weather for the next week.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get some posts up between eating and…eating. 


Why I Don’t Delete Anything (Anymore)

I wrote something on Twitter last night after spending an hour or so reading old emails between the missus and me from our dating days.  At the time we were living 750 miles apart, so email was one of our major means of communication.  Seemingly unrelated, I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about some [...]


And The Biggest Jerk Is…

Henry Rollins.  Obviously.  Although I only received half as many votes as Hank, I must say it was an honor just to be nominated. I was surprised that Burt Reynolds didn’t get more votes, not because he’s that big of a jerk, but because I would have thought his noteriety alone would outpace Rollins.  I’m [...]


Miss Milwaukee 1959

First of all, thanks to those of you who continue to vote in my idiotic polls. They usually start off as stupid ideas that pop into my head. They later graduate to stupid ideas that show up on my blog. I then spend a week or more trying to figure out if there are any [...]

Write It Down You Selfish Jerk!

After I posted my grandfather’s Thanksgiving thoughts last night, I spent the next few hours re-reading some other things that he wrote. I will definitely be posting more of it in the future. He was a great storyteller, and there are plenty of good stories in his memoirs. TCH brought up something in the comments [...]


Free Kittens (To a Good Home)

Okay, I already have feedback on my last post about the beggars outside of the supermarket. Some guys I work with read my blog (I write, they read, where’s the “work”?), and one of them brought up another case outside of grocery stores–free kittens. The “free kittens” sign almost always includes the small print phrase [...]


Product Recommendation — Creative ZEN Plus

If you are looking for a small mp3 player as a gift, I’d check into the Creative ZEN Stone Plus. I bought one for the Missus a couple of weeks ago, and this thing is great, especially when compared to the iPod Nano. For one thing, you can easily move files to and FROM this [...]


Your Lack of Apathy Shocked Me

In my last poll I asked if you really cared…a pretty open ended question. To my surprise, most people actually do care, at least about a few things. And half of those care about most things. Only two people chose “nope,” indcating that they don’t care at all. It doesn’t really matter to me though, [...]
