Try some of these next time you’re out on the course (courtesy of one of my league mates, with a little editing of my own). WARNING: locker room humor follows… Rock Hudson – a putt that looked straight, but wasn’t. Saddam Hussein – from one bunker into another. Yasser Arafat – butt-ugly and in the [...]

Stuff I really can’t figure out a pigeonhole for.
Adirondack Vacation
My wife and I just concluded four days of bliss in a little cabin on Elk Lake, in New York’s Adirondack Park. No cell coverage, no wi-fi, no real connection with the outside world–well, we did get one Yankees game score from the office, courtesy of their satellite link, but that was our single episode [...]
Fireworks Grand Finale, 2010
We’re fortunate enough to know some interesting people. One is an expert at setting up fireworks shows, and another has a large yard backed by a larger field, and the willingness to host a big Fourth of July bash. It was an amazing spectacle, and no huge crowds or traffic issues to deal with. Here’s [...]
Life before Google
Got a funny one-panel cartoon in my e-mail, and I’m going to share… So, to give credit where it’s due I followed the link at the bottom of the image, did a little searching, and found the original posting here. While you’re at it, check out more of the Shoebox Blog, it’s pretty damned funny!
Disorder in the Court!
There’s a pretty funny book by that title that’s been around for a while. Some excerpts have been making their way around the Intertubes for another while; here are a few that recently crossed my virtual desk: ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said , [...]
Kids, don’t try this at home…
In a scene right out of “Jackass: The Movie,” we enacted our annual Memorial Day family ritual. Everyone saves their Xmas tree and brings it to the family BBQ and gather, and that evening we light ‘em up.
Just Too Damned Cute
Okay, I may lose my Ranters Anonymous membership card over this, but damn… I’m given to understand his name is Pink.
Bringing the “Aww…”
Okay, this is about as un-rant-ish as I think I’m capable of getting. I received this picture in my e-mail recently, and it just melted my black little heart. I’ll let the story tell itself:
Saying Good-bye to Jerry
This past Wednesday was our literal Funeral for a Friend, as we bid our final farewells. The funeral itself was, in my opinion, the best possible sort: brief and focused. I’m not a fan of ceremony for ceremony’s sake. A few of us spoke of Jerry, how we’ll remember him and what he meant to [...]
Jumping on the “Avatar” Bandwagon with Both Feet
So, from what I hear there’s an explosion of videos on YouTube detailing how to paint yourself blue, and to otherwise try to look like a Na’vi character. I figured that’s lame: on one hand, you ever tried washing all that shit off when you’re done? Don’t even tell me you plan to get between [...]
