Sunday, November 21st, 2010Once in a great while, two rival factions meet for a bloody battle of epic proportions. No tactic is too underhanded, no attack is too evil. We call this battle “Family Game Night.” Last night, Randal and his wife hosted a Dirty Dozen of us for a night of good food, good beer, and board [...]
It Hurts Right Here
Sunday, November 21st, 2010So, my wrist still hurts like hell, and the Motrin isn’t cutting it. I think I need to kick my medicine up a notch, and since it’s Rule 5 Sunday, Olivia Wilde (aka Dr. Remy Hadley from House) should do the trick. She’s like percocet for the eyes. Of course, Olivia is starring in Tron:Legacy, [...]
Bad PA Teacher Has Worse Haircut
Saturday, November 20th, 2010So get this: A scumbag teacher – with a terrible hairdo – was caught “sexting” a former male student and inquiring about his summer reading assignments. And by assignments, I mean creepy personal habits. This man makes Roman Polanski look like a piker, and the worst part is that he teaches (or taught) at a [...]
Daniel Tosh Is A Genius
Saturday, November 20th, 2010I saw an episode of his Comedy Central show, Tosh.0, the other day, and I never laughed so hard in my life. Tosh.0 Weds 10:30pm / 9:30c
Not A Good Week
Saturday, November 20th, 2010I have never been so happy to see a weekend in my entire life. Everyone knows the tragedy my family has experienced with the passing of Cousin Barbara, and while nothing else compares to that, the tragedy was the topper to a very terrible week for me. A few people know what has been going [...]

Sheriff Joe Rounds Up A Posse
Friday, November 19th, 2010Sheriff Joe Arpaio is doing a truly thankless job. The Arizona sheriff is fighting the good fight against illegal immigration, and he is getting stonewalled by our our federal government. It would seem that the toads in Washington are more concerned with the illegals than the officers enforcing the laws. Go figure, huh? The situation [...]
A Little Pick Me Up
Friday, November 19th, 2010After the events of this terrible week, I needed a little pick me up. In case you do, too, check out this video Doghouse sent me. It’s interview clips of Montana Tech football coach Bob Green – a sportswriter’s dream. If this doesn’t get your weekend going, nothing will.
Barbara McDevitt-Kelly, 1950-2010
Thursday, November 18th, 2010Cousin Barbara passed away yesterday after succumbing to a subdural hematoma. She was 60 years old. Barbara is my mother-in-law’s cousin, and I first met her when the missus and I were dating. She was a soft-spoken person, but she possessed the biggest, loudest heart you could ever imagine. The fact that she accepted me [...]
