Well…I have things to work on

Posted on September 18, 2022 by Steve

Much to my surprise, Jennifer reads this site. I figured she didn’t bother because we live together so she’s already aware of what’s going on in my life. Nope. In short, I hurt her feelings with yesterday’s post/story and I … Continue reading →

Woo hoo! September with Vegas coming!

Seventeen years as a ‘blog

Posted on July 3, 2022 by Steve

Dang! Where did all the years go! Oh, that’s right, I squandered them staying alive. Nah! I would say squander is a bit too strong and overly negative. I just have mixed feelings while looking back and realizing, mucca sacra! If this incarnation … Continue reading →

Mayday…for the rest of the world

Posted on May 1, 2022 by Steve

It is in some corners of Amerika, namely where the Amazon and Starbucks workers voted to unionize since only naive schmucks and ass-kissers believe Rich People will ever do the morally right thing…voluntarily. On a more fun note, this month’s … Continue reading →

Well…April 2022 does have some elements of the movie

Posted on April 1, 2022 by Steve

In memory of what was Charlton Heston’s final movie in his Dystopian Trilogy I’ve gone with Soylent Green as the theme. Planet of the Apes was way too far in the future and I’m confident The Omega Man happens closer to the time … Continue reading →

Keeping with my recent 2020 tradition, I have gone with the Chinese New Year/Zodiac animal to decorate my site’s header art. Unlike oxen (bulls) or rats, there are numerous, famous tigers to choose from. I chose the ones I prefer … Continue reading →

Posted on December 31, 2021 by Steve

Well…it wasn’t as crappy as 2020 is about I could say about 2021. The year got going with a big scare thanks to Freedumb Fighters, MAGAts and Ammosexuals. So will that be the closest attempt at Girth Vader attempting the Reichstag … Continue reading →
