One year of officially being in a Pandemic
Hmm. I must be too self-involved. I was rejoicing my refinancing finally going through on this date last year. The UN-led body made it official on this day while Orange Foolius and other GOP morons kept trying to downplay its … Continue reading
Yes! Now to wait at least four weeks
I’m now only about half way out of the woods! Since I received the Moderna vaccine, I need a second shot between four and eight weeks. Did it hurt? It smarted like all sharp needles in the upper arm do! … Continue reading
Finally getting a vaccine shot!
I registered with Austin Public Health’s site, jumped through the hurdles which was their questionnaire and qualified on several fronts I wasn’t proud of: obese (but I’ve lost 10 pounds since New Year’s Day!), asthma (dammit!) and high blood pressure … Continue reading
Texas gubmint decides to murder the poor for Kapitalism
The animation from The Simpsons is a pretty accurate representation of how fucking dumb and willfully ignorant the Texas government, namely the executive branch, is. It’s also spot-on impression of this douchenozzle we have named Sid Miller, he’s the Agricultural Commissioner. … Continue reading

I declare Snowmageddon ’21 – Vol. II…over
Looking outside today, all I could see were little, isolated patches of snow or ice on the ground (not asphalt or concrete). So the weather element is done, especially with the temperature expected to hit 21° C. I craved junk/fast … Continue reading
Happy Valentine’s Day / Lupercalia!
By now, everybody should’ve received their grown-up-sized Valentine Card from me. If you didn’t, nothing too personal but you can tell me, I can put you on the list for next year should I try again. I didn’t buy as … Continue reading
Stupidity crosses the Atlantic
When Jeremy alerted me to the rioting in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam and Urk I concluded that either American Idiocy has become our number one export or the Dutch failed to get all their morons to emigrate to the States. … Continue reading
CV-19 Update #2
The test results came in and I was alerted minutes ago, pretty impressive, I found out within 22 hours. NEGATIVE That’s all for Jennifer and me. We can all get on with our lives, namely, watching the Packers crush Bucs’ … Continue reading
CV-19 Update #1
At least the testing was free as we rushed to downtown Austin. It’s also easier to take. Last Summer it was a painful shove up both nostrils. The pain lingered for a couple hours. Now they’ve got it down to … Continue reading
Jennifer has tested “positive” for CV-19
Jennifer just received the phone call from her employer about an hour ago. We’re both off to get (re)tested since there’s a good chance it’s a false positive given the number of times she is tested—three times a week since … Continue reading
Honeymoon is over, so will it be brunch or progress?
Personally, I don’t think Christ would’ve gotten half the inauguration hype Grampa’ Brunch got by the way the Democrats have pumped up this career Centrist. You won’t get any disagreement from me about how horrendous the last four years were. … Continue reading
My fashion rebuttal to the lie called The Lost Cause
The events of this week got me to step up on a hat I’ve been wanting to own for years. A US Army Cavalry hat from the Civil War and (probably) Indian Wars period. I will need to hunt down … Continue reading
This LEGO joke didn’t take long
LEGO pieces are so simplified in order to make customized things, aka known as MOCs, so the majority of the pieces in this gag are feasible, even the guns. I would only buy this set if all its profits went … Continue reading
Amerikkka storms the Capitol
Besides MAGAts, I also like the term Y’all Qeda for these losers. Comedian Moshe Kasher pointed out that our overpriced military and militarized police were overwhelmed by a bunch of assholes with Monster Energy guts and vape breath. Should there be an … Continue reading
Back to the Grind element of the year
A now we bid farewell to the American Holiday Stretch which is usually from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Until next “year,” we return to our regular programming and maybe, just maybe the vaccine will bring back the true, regular … Continue reading
