The Spitting Beaver River Incident.

Update:  The Dog Groaned at Dusk – A German Shepherd’s Tale is a winner! I was sitting there bemoaning the three-way tie (probably Mitchell’s fault) when a refresh showed that we had a clear winner.  I think the Taternator then Spelunking while drunk in that order come after but we’ll leave that to another poll. [...]

Now what?

Update: #10 wins. #6 is dear to my heart but #10 is one I haven’t told in a while. Stay tuned for later tonight. **** As close as I’ll ever get to a “tweet”… Had a blood test for cholesterol today. Darned vampires.  They suck four quarts of blood out of your arm and then [...]

Keep the Customer Satisfied

Deputy Sheriff said to me Tell me what you come here for, boy. You better get your bags and flee. You’re in trouble boy, And now you’re heading into more. – Simon and Garfunkel – Keep the Customer Satisfied Except I wasn’t told to flee.  All of the rest?  Oh yes. It all started a [...]

Logo Conundrum

Try as I might, I cannot find the new democratic party logo of a blue circle with a blue “D” in it. If someone has a link to it, where I might verify it and whether or not it is a trademarkable symbol, please give me a head’s-up. In the meantime while looking for it [...]

Democrat Containment

Update:  Zazzle is sometimes a bit… slow in updating.  They say be patient for 24 hours.  Ok. How about now?  No? Now? How about now? What about… And I added the RoachWear™ stuff – aprons, postcards, tote bags, and the like.  Coffee cups, too.  Again, give it time.  Zazzle seems to be really slow about [...]

But at Least it was a Dry Heat.

Been a while since I posted. I was on travel.  Here’s how that worked out… A scientist and good friend who I work with was telling me a week or so ago about a conference in Orlando.  She mentioned some of the topic material and I said it sounded fascinating.  She said “You want to [...]

This the Best the Dems Can Do?

Additional note:  I agree with some commenters – this makes the dems look so godawful bad it is painful.  I’m surprised that anyone let it happen in the first place.  I really don’t like the idea of my government using it’s time for a comedy forum.  It shows a total lack of seriousness towards the [...]

Hey, Netflix! KISS MY ASS.

Thanks to observant reader Mitchell, he passed on a link that illustrates what really pisses me off – I, the average self-absorbed reader.  Thanks also to THR for publishing the interview in the first place. Just in case THR somehow gets bullied into pulling the interview, there is one part, one tiny part that will [...]

hoo-rah.

Sick with a cold and on travel.  Yah-hoo. Won’t have ‘net access where I’m going (you’d think it was the dark side of the moon, wouldn’t you?) so it’ll be a couple of days ’til you hear from me unless I find an internet cafe. Ah well, keep the blogs warm for me until I [...]

Christmas Came Early.

OK, this just never has happened before.  Random acts of kindness happen but rarely does someone who knows me look beyond the me channeling House and see what is really behind the facade:  House. But amazingly in spite of my glaring character flaws Mitchell gave me a Christmas treat that left me speechless.  Literally. See, [...]

Of Nazis, Kittens, and Surfing

In a shameful display of blog-whoring, there is a new blog titled “Nazi Surf Kittens Must Die“  (just think NSKMD, sort of like XKCD only different) It is a no-pictures blog dedicated to quotes, wordsmithing, and insane utterances found in comments to blog posts wherever they may be found. Think of it as a verbal [...]

A Short Story of the Long Jittery Arm of the Law.

Inspired by The Curtal Friar‘s comment to the Death/PaleHorse post… When I was twelve or so my family went to Winchester Bay, Oregon – typical small coastal town.  The neighbor kid who we will call “Pees on Electric Fences” or Pefs for short came along with us.  He was a few years younger than me [...]

To Detroit Death Comes Astride His Pale Horse.

Note:  I accidentally deleted this posting.  It had some great comments which I will reconstruct tomorrow.  So sorry. In order to work out some stuff with insurance I had to drive way out – way way out on the other side of Detroit this morning. Got lost.  Got really lost.  Well, actually I knew where [...]
