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
Fortune cookies never lie
Jennifer and I are the personal assistants to five of them.
Well…it’s still better than Denny’s
If you don’t get the joke, it’s a reference to the infamous Donner Party. A group of people heading West during the wagon-train days but they didn’t get through a key mountain pass in time, ended up being snowed in … Continue reading
2008: al-Zaidi throws his shoes at Dubious Bush
To me it was one of the funniest things I had seen on the news in years and I loved to see that inbred moron at the podium dodging the shoes being thrown at him. Sadly, Dubious still looked pretty … Continue reading
ZOINKS! and I don’t recall if the others have a catchphrase
If they’re both heading to Austin, then I figure they’re investigating the ghost who lives in the Driskill Hotel. A very nice, very pricey place downtown at Sixth and Congress. Since ghosts aren’t real, my money is on Mystery, Incorporated … Continue reading
Doctor said sane for the rest of ’23!
Last doctor visit for the year and I’m feeling pretty good. It was then great to have the doctor’s seal of approval on it. Now if I could just get the better feelings to spread to others where and when … Continue reading
Reason why Biden will lose #2
The poll numbers continue to look shitty for Grampa’ Brunch, however, I don’t sweat them and nor should anyone. The Bilary apologists just need something to crank up their litany of “So…you want Trump!” crap, the media needs eyeballs to … Continue reading
Now you can recreate the adventure kids!
What better way to remember one’s failed vacation to Madrid! There you were dreaming of enjoying authentic tapas and looking up the landmarks from your Spanish textbooks, all ruined thanks to that Hershey-squiring clod.
