SAVE YOURSELF!
Ever wear a life preserver when you were in a boat? Ever wear your seatbelt when you drive? Ever get a flu shot?
Those are all actions that many folks choose to avoid because they’re inconvenient or uncomfortable, despite the fact they could save your life. Gambling with your life is pretty foolish. Gambling with damnation [...]
NBA Playoffs: at least they’re not getting bailed out
Well, it’s time for the NBA Playoffs. It’s amazing to me that so many people complain about CEO salaries when athletes are raking in the dough, hand-over-fist. I was thinking about the “outrage” from so many Americans and the utter disdain that many have for CEO’s and their “ridiculous” salaries.
Did you know that the top [...]
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: 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 [...]
Kilroy Says: The Day I Broke Up With Wendy
For many years, the love of my life was Wendy, with her cute little pigtails and the smell wafting from her that I could only describe as heavenly. But sadly, the time recently came for us to part ways. Wendy has been letting herself go these past few years. She’s not that clean anymore. She’s [...]
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 [...]
THE TRUTH ABOUT HDTV
TV holds a very dear place in my heart. Growing up, I saw more of my TV than my parents. When I was stationed overseas, none of my family wrote me letters, but TV was there for me. When I get home from work, and I’ve had a bad day, I can always plop down [...]
The Illustrious Fidel removes stamp of approval
I find it quite interesting that, when in an election cycle, candidates (namely BO) invoke foreign leaders’ approval to indicate global solidarity for themselves. To be more accurate, they use their surrogates like Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon.
Anyway, the wonderboy has already lost favor with one of the most generous and caring leaders in the [...]
Musings From The Old Man: Part 1
Let’s start by establishing a few points of reference. I am a 64 year old white guy. I am a conservative republican from the Goldwater era. I am an unapologetic Vietnam Marine vet. I am the flag-waving, card-carrying front of the “baby-boom” parade. I am a now-focused, reality-based, career adult educator from the world of [...]
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 [...]
