No, this is not a joke product from the Onion

Posted on August 30, 2008 by Steve

I thought all the (insert instrument here) Hero shirts from TorsoPants.com were amusing along with the joke on CN’s Fried Dynamite. Then the “Christians” have decided to bring their lameness to a PC near you. Don’t believe me, see this … Continue reading →

Bumpersticker joke of the day

Posted on August 30, 2008 by Steve

Haven’t had one of these pictures in a while and with the iPhone’s built-in camera, it’s even easier to catch now. The vehicle had Texas plates but I guess it originally came from California because the equivalent of Tijuana for … Continue reading →

A modern dinosaur spotted in my yard!

Posted on August 30, 2008 by Steve

I say…I say, what an odd and unexpected visitor we had upon our doorstep after dinner. That’s the best Foghorn Leghorn I can do on the fly. Still, I figured it was inevitable because chickens like to wander and there’s … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Steve

Yesterday’s e-mail was rather heavy but it needed to be stated to reassure everyone I hadn’t quit, just slowed down a bit. If I had a faster upload speed on my ADSL, I would blame the subject matter more for … Continue reading →

Cowboy Mouth

Posted on August 24, 2008 by Steve

Most of you who don’t live in the Louisana-Texas area are probably going “Who?” at the mention of this band. Maybe your memory would be jogged over their one big, national hit “Jenny Says” from 1996-7 which got them on … Continue reading →

1998: Neil Finn at La Zona Rosa

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Steve

Drat! I realized that I missed his 50th birthday while “researching” this story. Maybe if Neil wrote a song like his brother’s “Haul Away,” I could remember it better. Tonight I’m off to see Cowboy Mouth for the second time … Continue reading →

The scars of Clarke still haunt us Flyers fans

Posted on August 22, 2008 by Steve

Due to the slowness of Summer, I forget to check my link to the Philly newspaper every day to see what’s the skinny on the Flyers. To my horror there was a piece Wednesday talking about my team being one … Continue reading →

Humor test #2

Posted on August 20, 2008 by Steve

My new litmus test on humor arrived over the weekend. I wore it in public where it yielded about a 50 percent success rate on strangers and friends “getting the joke.” Most usually laughed yet they said they couldn’t explain … Continue reading →

A special screening of Slapshot courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse

Posted on August 17, 2008 by Steve

The turnout was pretty good for Central Texas. I was more thrilled over my friend Brian coming with a pair of friends. As you recall, Brian is a huge Red Wings fan and also played in the minor leagues when … Continue reading →
