It couldn’t last forever, but my work colleagues have discovered the blog…shit, or shite as it were.  Now I have to watch my language, cut down on the gratuitous nudity (on here, but don’t worry, ladies and selected gentlemen, these vestments ain’t sewn on), and stop slagging everybody off so much.  Fucking internet, there’s [...]

How many pickers does it take to change a light bulb? Five.  One to change it and four to shake their heads and mumble, “that ain’t the way Earl woulda done it.” Here’s an obit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/9172830/Country-singer-Earl-Scruggs-dies-aged-88.html I’m going some place like THIS to mourn and drink some whiskey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZp0UjL_Xhs    

It’s not sexist with that spelling (but it’s how bell ends interpret what others see clearly to be a ‘Comment’ box, bell ends like those that are so bent out of shape about the 165 words, mostly quite kind, in the sketch of the Woodman, indeed, please show us that you are a bunch of [...]

Gotta love the Dutch.  I was buying tickets for a Springsteen concert in Holland and had to register on the Ticketmaster.nl site.  One of the country options for your address is the Occupied Palestinian Territory.  Hail, Fredonia! They also have a slot there for Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, just in case.

No, I didn’t record it to watch later.  It’s just I couldn’t give less of a fuck.  If I want to drink too much and eat a bunch of unhealthy snacks on a Sunday, I tend to get out of bed; and if I want to do all that and hang out with obnoxious morons, [...]

This is an old story I have recounted endlessly, but a friend from Tucson brought up something that reminded me of it and I promised to put it in print.  It is long and tedious unless you just happen to be familiar with — and interested in — the madness of mathematics.  So, basically, this [...]

Or as my link to the left notes…100 Shit Beers as all real beer in the States is considered ‘craft’ or too la-di-fucking-da to qualify.  That’s alright, I LIKE Carling and that shit is everywhere over here. Places can be pubs (got that one covered) or someplace cool (I see some mid-race lagers in my [...]

One of the best museums in the whole country and recently proclaimed THE best tourist site in Wiltshire (beating out the likes of Stonehenge, Avebury, and the Salisbury Cathedral), STEAM is on my doorstep…literally less than 10 minutes stroll from my front door and yet I haven’t been there this entire year…a matter corrected Saturday.

I’ve been sick with a vile upper respiratory infection for two weeks now; Jackie had it, too, but offset by a week so I can confirm by the matching trajectories (low grade fever for a couple of days overlapping ever-increasing congestion, nausea, and fairly high fever, then body aches and tightness in chest leading to, [...]

Walking to the bus Friday morning I hear an update of Game 6 of the World Series and it takes me a moment to find that strange, seeing as it was on Radio 4 which is not known for sports coverage and furthermore in England where baseball is held in especially low esteem.  Fortunately I [...]
