So long 2023, you started poorly but had a strong finish!
Forgot to show off my new Christmas shirt, a great mash-up! Thank you Fright Tees! And so another year comes to a close and we’re on the cusp of a new opportunity. The headline said it best too. After New … Continue reading
Great, short clip about accents
I miss the days when my French was really starting to congeal before Patricia left for home (France) and as I deal with my struggles in Italian, this video made me laugh while getting me to realize, oh! Then … Continue reading

The divorce is now 100% over
The good news, we’re still friends because we want to be, not that we’re forced to as other former couples due to childcare or real estate. Even then, I think some animosity remains in those situations. I wouldn’t really know … Continue reading
Nimrata Haley shows her willingness get a D- in US History
I wish I could’ve kept up the streak of no politics for the holiday break but the Republican circle jerk to defeat Orange Foolius and then Grampa’ Branch is too ripe not to mock. In an attempt to gain the … Continue reading

RIP Tommy Smothers
One half of a very clever and inspiring duo. I was never a huge fan because they were really big before I was born or when I was an infant. However, they had a subversive streak that was more than … Continue reading
The weird part is that it didn’t come with any batteries
And if you must know, I didn’t receive any LEGO sets for Christmas from Jennifer or any member of her family. They think I have too many. NEVER!

Kid, you told your uncle you wanted a switch
This is why you should be very when you ask that bachelor uncle who works in IT on what you want for Christmas. Besides, if you don’t want it, I’m sure the same uncle will find a use for it … Continue reading

A very cool, handmade gift!
Check out this bottle opener my friend Marian manufactured and gave me! It’s pretty cool because she made it in her garage as part of her new hobby of creating things like an old-timey blacksmith! Marian also created and gave … Continue reading
Ewww! Cat Breath!
This picture of us together for the cat slack channel was ruined by her yawning and the cloud of cat-food fueled stench. Klothos is a cute little creature yet her breath punches up to the adult level. Good thing she … Continue reading
Counselor Peggy, I need to defend my Quv for Strickland!
It’s rather funny too. Hank Hill would be the most mild-mannered Klingon known in the galaxy since he’s a rather kind, rational guy despite not wanting to express nor show his true feelings. Given his love of propane and all … Continue reading

1988: Lockerbie bombing
Thirty-five years ago, Libya blew up an international flight leaving London for NYC during the Gaddafi regime. To what end? Only the deceased de facto ruler of Libya could tell the victims’ families. I’m guessing it was to demonstrate how … Continue reading
Huzzah! One set of awful scooters may soon be gone!
The Bird assholes filed for bankruptcy! Although I am in favor of prohibiting cars from the downtowns of the world’s major cities, these dangerous, eyesores were not a solution. I saw people risking their lives way too often on Austin’s … Continue reading
Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies
An upside to the Internet’s obsession with porn! It made a serious movie like Skin possible and not a magnet for teen boys, 14-year-old me going, YESSSS! This is a documentary and it’s very academic about the topic. There’s still … Continue reading
It doesn’t matter if it’s fake…
I can see Jay Leno adding this hilariously awful vehicle to his collection. I just can’t see how Tesla claims this crudely TRON-like monstrosity is a truck. Even the car Homer made that destroyed his brother’s car company is a … Continue reading
Farewell Autumn, a great person all around
Yesterday, we all said our farewells to a great person, a wonderful friend and a fantastically brilliant co-worker. Autumn passed away earlier in last week for reasons I don’t want to discuss because when I was given the news at … Continue reading
