Shoelaces . . . a short story

Posted on March 27, 2008. Filed under: Family, Short stories, Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , |

Pops didn’t talk much.

Posted on March 25, 2008. Filed under: MST3K, Rifftrax, movies |

Okay, so I am one of the guys that rarely gets to go to the theater. I end up watching movies on DVD. So the reality is that most of you have probably watched this film already and I won’t be telling you anything you don’t know. But just in case: SPOILERS BEWARE and all [...]

Spanking: It’s not just for breakfast anymore

Posted on March 19, 2008. Filed under: Family, History, Snark, Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , |

If you look at the world today and see all the reckless irresponsibility, you can pin it all down on one thing. There is just not enough spanking going on.

Kids today often go about with the idea that there are no reprecussions for their actions. They are taught at a young age that the worst [...]

Televangelists: The worst kind of Evil

Posted on March 13, 2008. Filed under: Completely 100% True, History, Science, Snark, Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , , |

Some folks just have it. Call it charisma if you will. These folks can go places. They often become polititians, actors, or musicians.
These people can be good or bad. Most of them probably start out good. The thing is that people with charisma soon learn that they can use that charisma to make money. [...]

Mixed Nuts: The Peanut Conspiracy

Posted on March 10, 2008. Filed under: Completely 100% True, History, Snark | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

No, I’m not talking about the men’s locker room at The Olympics.
I’m not talking about the mediocre 1994 Steve Martin comedy of the same name.
I’m talking about this:

I know, I know. it looks like an innocent photograph, but if you look closer you will notice that there are very few beans in the mix. In [...]

Dirty Dancing With Cancer: Swayzefest

Posted on March 6, 2008. Filed under: MST3K, movies, music | Tags: , |

So as most of you know, the news came across the wire yesterday that Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer. Now the tabloids *cough Enquirer* said he had weeks to live and that he was basically on his deathbed. Despite the suspect nature of the reports, pancreatic cancer is a scary thing. Very few people survive. [...]

Once again my mind is filled with many small things that by themselves are perhaps unworthy of a stand-alone post. But together they make one heck of a mess and that sounds just about right for one of my articles. So let’s get started shall we?
First of all, there has been some confusion about my [...]

Are you sure you want to do this?

Posted on March 1, 2008. Filed under: Completely 100% True, Family, History, Short stories, Snark | Tags: , , , |

Are you sure you want to do this? Truly?
Well before you do, there are some things you may want to consider. What about our friendship? What about the many years we spent lollygagging around? The eating contests. The diving competitions. What about those?
Remember that time we went to the fair and you fell? It was [...]
