Brave Sir Obama

It’s been reported that President Obama walked out of budget negotiations today. All I could think of was “Brave Sir Robin” from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” So herewith my small alteration:   Bravely bold Sir Obama Rode forth to spend a lot. He was not afraid to lie, Oh brave Sir Obama. He [...]

Dear Humanoid Women

While the folks who created the “Dear Woman” video covered some important points about how some men have treated women, it appears to me to be intermixed with a lot of fluffy New Age stuff that relates more to humanity’s place in the universe than how men treat women.

The “Odyssey Dawn” Song

If you’re of a certain age, you heard endless repetitions of a song called “Delta Dawn” in the early 70s. Depending on the kind of music you listened to, you heard a version by Helen Reddy, Tanya Tucker, or Bette Midler. A bunch of other people recorded it over the years, and I’m told that [...]

The Year I Led the Rose Parade

You know that you’re running REALLY late for the Rose Parade when you’re on a freeway in Pasadena and there is no traffic. Everybody is either at home avoiding the nightmare of tourist traffic, out of town avoiding the nightmare of tourist traffic, or at the parade themselves. On the other hand, the lack of traffic and the fact that 90% of traffic cops are manning road blocks or directing traffic somewhere means you can often make up for lost time.

Jack Bauer Interrogates Santa Claus

Last year there was an e-card site called RebelChristmasCard2009.com. The domain registration has expired, and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent 2010 site. But they did leave in their wake a video of Jack Bauer interrogating Santa Claus to prove that they were here once. Merry Christmas!

I Discovered a New Ability

I discovered a new ability tonight. It turns out that you can clench your teeth and mumble at the same time. Scene: A munchie run. Carhier: That’ll be $19.90. Me: [Forks over twenty dollar bill.] Cashier: You were young then, weren’t you? Me: [Noncommittal interrogatory noises.] Cashier: In 1990. You were young then, right? Rapid mental [...]

Birthday Thoughts

If I’ve survived till this post goes live I’ll be 56 years old. Though I’ve learned that you can’t take tomorrow for granted I’m going to make a leap of faith and schedule this post for 12:01 am my local time on my birthday. If I’m not around to read it then the joke will [...]
