The Olympics: Rated R
As a child I don’t know if I ever watched the Olympics for any extended period of time. My grandmother loved to watch the figure skating, and I never understood why. Take annoying choreography and mix it with hockey and divide by breakdancing and you’ve got figure skating. Yay”¦go team! Now when does someone fall? […]

links for 2006-02-14 Cheney Should Be Probed in Leak I didn’t actually read this article because it contains boring political stuff. I just tagged it because of the headline. Who wouldn’t want Cheney probed in his leak? I know I sure would. Several times a day if at all possible. A global event for everybody […]
Be Mine
Happy Valentine’s Day from Ellie. She has a rose just for you. I hope you have a lovely V-Day. Just remember, it’s not about waiting in line at the Olive Garden for a pre-fab meal or getting in a fistfight at CVS over the last Chocolate Heart or paying a 500 percent markup on six […]
Idiot Keyboarding

Click Click Boom!
Umm, in light of certain circumstances I feel I should make an announcement. I realize that in the past I may have written some disparaging comments about the current administration, and in particular Vice President Dick Cheney. I acknowledge that in the past I have referred to him several times as Dr. Evil, and on […]
Driving
Since Valentine’s Day looms precariously close I think a post about gender relations is in order. I’d like to begin with a generally accepted “truth” and work from there. Men are better drivers than women. This stereotype/cliché interests me. For one thing an ounce of truth hides somewhere buried in every cliché, and for another […]
I’ve Been Too Long It’s Good To Be Back
We’re back home now. Let the usual jackassery resume.
Distracted
Don’t expect a whole lot of bloggery from me until Sunday. We’re visting my parents and the internet here runs at a snail’s pace. And besides that, we’ve been having too much fun playing in the mud to sit in front of a boring ‘ole computer for very long.
