Now, I know that at some point I should ceased to be amused by the grammatical goofs of advertisements and packaging over this way… but not yet baby… not yet. I came across this one on a cute little package of rat poison at the supermarket. Rats are your enemies and of your economy! Combat [...]

Dad, I miss you still. More than words… and unfortunately, they’re all I have. Love, David Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for [...]

I stumbled over the last few uneven steps before my eyes had a chance to adjust to the gloom. I peered into the room through a haze of smoke. A single ceiling fan sliced languidly at the air, leaving a ring of cigarette soot on the ceiling tile. Jim and The Doors drifted from the [...]

It is with a heavy heart that I garner the courage to relate the final chapter of the pigeon family, with whom I shared my bathroom. For weeks, I had been peeping in on the pigeon sanctuary while I peed. The old Peep and Pee play. I watched the baby pigeons grow from hideous, reptilian [...]

In a speech on the “War on Terror” at the National Endowment for Democracy last week, George Bush said the following: …Islamic radicalism is elitist, led by a self-appointed vanguard that presumes to speak for the Muslim masses.

God would tell me, “George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.” And I did, and then God would tell me, “George, go and [...]

I was just reading that as of Friday, the national debt of the United States stood at $ 7, 924, 890, 927, 754.51… Now that’s a heck of a lot of numbers on parade. I think the precision is pretty funny though. Fifty-One cents. Almost Eight Trillion Dollars, but don’t forget that half dollar and [...]

This just in: I have just now told my spell-checker to accept “blog” as a word. I am nothing if not the apogee of efficiency. So welcome to my lexicon “blog,” no more will you feel the shame of the red squiggly line of infamy. Although, to be honest, even though I love the blog [...]

I think it would be funny if I wrote something and then inadvertently spilled a tube of crazy glue on the papers in some kind of comic fashion, and then accidentally sat on the manuscript in some other comedic manner, so that when someone asked me, “What’s that on your ass?” I could say, “That’s [...]
