Has anybody heard this phrase going around, “It is what it is?” Yeah, that used to be a simple little saying with a rather innocent meaning. It was also rarely spoken because it was so innocent, just a pleasant little “that’s all there is, folks” kind of thing. And people smiled when they said it. […]
Lick Me…and Other Assorted Cheese
I walked into work, set my things down, stepped out on the production floor and damn near ran clear into my delightfully cranky older friend.
A Double Entendre, Constipation & Expecting the Unexpected
Expect the unexpected. Isn’t that what people expect? Oooooh, the irony and most people don’t even know what that is. You do, though, right? Good. Thought so. That means you get the joke. One of my coworker’s daughters is pregnant with her second child with the second father–it’s the whole you-can-make-a-joke-out-of-this-10-different-ways-routine and it’s still all […]
Gonna Burn For This One–The Absurdity Zone
This is one I’m going to burn for. Okay? I’m just letting you know that I’m aware of it, just so we’re all on the same page. This naturally won’t stop me from blogging and telling you about it, but there will be repercussions in the next life.
A Civil Infraction and My First Would-Be International Stalker
You’ve had a day where you’ve come to realize you’d have been better off staying in bed, right? We’ve all had them…unless you’re Paula Abdul because, well, she’s a gift to us all. I’m not. And, incidentally, today was my day to realize I should have just stayed in bed. Except I really had to […]
Phone Calls, Reunions and Porn…All In A Day
Did you ever get a phone call out of the blue from that person you never thought you’d hear from? Okay, let’s be honest, that you never wanted to hear from? Yeah, that one. I’ve had my share of people I just never wanted to hear from again or see…unless in obituary form. And no, […]
Since You And I Haven’t Had Sex (Dealing With Negative Energy)
I was going through my CDs the other day looking to make a compilation of some 80s songs that brought back very specific memories. While making my way through the “B”s (Baltimora…Berlin…Big Pig…Blondie…), Bon Jovi caught my eye. It was an album I hadn’t listened to in a long while, so I popped it in […]
OnStar and a Tale Of Busch
Has anybody heard those OnStar commercials on the radio? Kind of annoying, aren’t they? Seriously, shut up and let me listen to Sly Fox’s “Let’s Go All The Way” on DougFM. Oh, and as an aside, I woke up at 5am this morning, turned my mp3 player on and proceeded to shower to “Me So […]
Holiday Tales…and btw, the Hong Kong Grandmother Thinks I’m Christ
The holidays have been a wee bit crazy over here, so I apologize for not sending out a mass bulletin. Hopefully everybody had a terrific Christmas, holiday celebration or whatever it is you do or don’t practice per your beliefs. I believe that’s the PC way of putting it. I gave some very nice gifts […]
Black Friday / Go Writer’s Guild! / Shopping
Before I get to the meat of this blog (meager as it may be), I’m wondering if anybody knows who coined the term “Black Friday” this year. It’s a terrible expression. Why not “Green Friday” since profits are supposed to go from red to green…the color of money. There would be a certain amount of […]
