Sidney is cruising along the highway when his car starts misfiring and losing power before finally stalling for good. He steers it to the side of the road and tries to restart the engine without any luck. He calls AAA whose service man arrives a short while later, listens to his account of the car’s …

That’s Not What It’s Called!
The radio just reminded me of this one. It’s the spring of 1957 and Bobby goes to pick up his date, Peggy Sue. Bobby’s a pretty hip guy with his own car and a ducktail hairdo. He knocks on the front door, and Peggy Sue’s father answers and invites him in. “Peggy Sue’s not ready …
Those Were The Good Old Days
It seems crazy to think of things like the George W. Bush era as the good old days, but in a sense, Randy Rainbow is absolutely correct. There has never been a news cycle quite like the one that we’re living through now, and as god awful fucking terrible as those years were, if nothing …
#JustAskDontGrab
Carin and I talk about this a lot. For the life of me I have no idea why you wouldn’t want to be handled the way you seem to be ok with handling us so please stop doing it is such a difficult concept for people to…uh…grasp, but that’s the world we live in. Hopefully …
Let’s Be Smart About This SmartCane
I appear to be on a smart cane jag today. I saw this one on the news, and good lord, getting the video clip to replay was a giant pain in the neck. If you want to get it to play, maximize your screen, I think, then go down to the h1 that says video …
WeWonder

Many A Word From Gill
While we’ve been busy largely neglecting this place the last little while because summer, Gill has still been sending things in. So here, in no particular order, I shall now plunk a bunch of the stuff about what she’s been up to into a single, gigantic Gillstravaganza. I’ll also confess to not doing much editing …
We’re Looking For…
This one seems rather topical at the moment. Two priests are driving down the road when all of a sudden they notice that several police cars are following them and one of the officers is signaling them to pull over. ” What seems to be the problem, officer?” asks the priest as he rolls down …
Somebody’s Cheesed Off Now…
This story about two men in their 70’s fighting over cheese samples is a funny enough scene on its own. One fellow repeatedly cut in line at free sample stations in front of this other fellow until they had words about it and the line-cutter hit the other guy. But for some reason, there’s a …
