THOR’s Day Rant: Does Anyone Really Win?
I’m a sucker for online contests. I enter them all the time. Despite the fact I never win anything. And every time I lose, even though I fully expected it, I get mad. Then I begin to wonder- was any prize really given out?
My obsession with drawings started back in the 1980s, when a local [...]
THOR’s Day Rant: HOLD THE SALAD!
It started out as one of those really bad Mondays. The kind where you oversleep, the kids have some crisis, and you are out of sync the rest of the day. And it keeps getting worse. By dinner time, I was in a pretty foul mood. I decided to splurge and just get dinner out. [...]
THOR’s DAY RANT: Wash Your Damned Hands!
As I cough and hack and wheeze and otherwise feel like complete crap- or bantha poodoo if you’re a Star Wars geek- I feel compelled to discuss something you all should know already.
Wash your damned hands.
Last week, I had the joy of taking my 9 year old daughter around to various local museums and attractions [...]
Thor’s Day Rant: I Gave At The Office
This isn’t just a rant. It’s a proclamation: I won’t be giving anything to charity this year.I already gave at the office.
About midway through January, my car was broken into. Okay, “broken” might be too harsh of a word here as I suspect it was an unlocked back door (thanks, kids) that allowed the thief [...]
N.E. Patriots’ Bill Bellichick and Notre Dame’s Charlie Weiss sing Bon Jovi’s: “Wanted, Dead or Alive”
At a fundraising event, John Bon Jovi was reported to offer $50,000 if Bill Bellichick, coach of the New England Patriots; and Charlie Weiss, Notre Dame head football coach would join him on stage and sing Bon Jovi’s hit song “Wanted, Dead or Alive.” They eagerly accepted and as you can see, they hammed it [...]
Musings From The Old Man – Part 2
So let me pick up where I left off – it’s all about the money, or as James Carville famously opined, “It’s the economy, stupid!” And before you go off about him being a democratic hack, remember that he also said, “The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there [...]
Where have all the real men gone?
I’m feeling a little lonely here. Like I’m the last real Man in America.
I’m talking about the e-Volve Gadget Shoulder Holster I just read about. It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. Or maybe wrapped it in sissified, purse-ified comfort.
The Gadget Shoulder Holster, or “dork purse” as I’ll call it, vaguely looks like some [...]
And I thought the original was bad…
Russians playing Sweet Home Alabama??? Sorry…it’s even worse than that. Another “must be both seen and heard to be believed.” The guys over at To The Point News where my old friend T.P. picked this up, recommend having a Stoli prepared when you fire this video up. I’m not into the hard stuff anymore. I’m [...]
Politics for Dummies: Part I
Politics is a very complex subject, and requires extensive explanation before full understanding can be achieved. The first step toward total comprehension is to first “identify” and then subsequently “eliminate” all political myths generated over the last 230+ years. Once we can (say it with me) “identify” and “eliminate” these myths you will become much [...]
Legal blonde stiffs contractor
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn’t paid for them.
Hellloooo,………..just because I’m blonde doesn’t mean that [...]
