Moonlet the engineer

I guess from having my first kid at a somewhat advanced age, therefore knowing that as soon as possible, I’ll need him carting me around, I started teaching him how to drive appropriate transportation at probably too young of an age.  First it was small boats, then it was small aircraft.  Today, we moved on to something a little bigger.… (more…)

Understatements – Travis Ford

Travis Ford is coaching Massachusetts right now.  They are playing in the National Invitation Tournament.  Last night, they were down by 22 with a little over fourteen minutes to play.  No problem for Travis’s boys, they beat Syracuse.  This is part of what Tavis had to say post-game: That was the worst half of basketball we’ve played all year. But… (more…)

Hind Lick Maneuver

Two hillbillies walk into a bar.  While having a shot of whisky, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, ‘Kin ya swallar?’… (more…)

More creations

It’s been a while since I’ve presented a “creation“.  So, without further ado:   ( Maybe this is what the creationalists had in mind? If so, I’m all for it. )

The most annoying nightmare

I had the most annoying nightmare, or dream, the other night.  I’m not looking for any interpretations here, just wanting to put it in print so that it can be forgotten. Now, not sure about most people, but when I’m going to have a nightmare, I know it.  I get this creepy feeling that something very bad’s going to happen. … (more…)

Mariah Carey set to tie The Beatles for #1 hits?

I read this article over at the New York Daily News: Move over, Beatles. Mariah Carey is on the verge of tying the legendary British band for having the most chart-topping hits. The hip-hop diva’s newest single “Touch My Body” is poised to give her 18 No. 1 singles, knotting her with the Fab Four. Man, that comes with so… (more…)

Jesus, tornadoes, and the Wildcats

Most seasons, the regular season and SEC tournament are just a preamble to Kentucky going to the NCAA tournament.  This year has been a tough ride.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t make it at this point.  However, it’s what has gotten in their way that is pretty remarkable to me.  Here’s what it apparently takes to get in… (more…)

My newest idol

When The Who sang “hope I die before I get old“, they had never met John Persinger.  In fact, when they sang it, John Persinger was old enough to draw retirement.  He’s still around.  Here’s a shot of his 100th birthday party:   Needless to say, his plan looks a lot more appealing than The Who’s.

Dawn Wells

If you’re forty-something, that image means something.  Gilligan’s Island was the hottest show running for about twenty years of my life even though it wasn’t on for terribly long.  The reason that no one would ever admit publicly was because we couldn’t get enough of Mary Ann.  Ginger was sold as the Hollywood sexpot, but it was Mary Ann who… (more…)

$5,000 poontang?

The Governor of New York, who arguably walk into any whorehouse in New York and get some for free, got busted as part of an online prostitution ring sting.  A power-crazed politician getting busted being bad isn’t exactly new.  However, what makes this one interesting to me is the citation.  Part of the evidence is discussion of the rates.  They… (more…)
