a big legged woman ain’t got no soul” Whether or not I’ve got a soul is well up for debate, but a pair of big legs I most certainly have, thanks to German heritage and a bicycling addiction. I’m making myself a new pair of jeans. I had a pattern that seemed to have potential, […]

For reasons I can’t quite put a finger on, I’m stressed out and going all freaky. My moods have been all the fuck over the place today. I started out the day in a deliriously, obnoxiously happy mood, and have been sinking as the day wore on. Made an asshole out of myself in an […]

Mowing over wild onions will make your eyes water, your throat burn, and your sinuses launch a frontal snot attack.

Am I the only grownup outside of the CTW thinktank who doesn’t have a problem with Cookie Monster branching out into a broader and healthier range of foodstuffs with which to gorge enthusiastically? Because honestly, I’m not getting the big hairy deal here. Cookie has eaten things other than cookies before. I seem to remember […]

I went to the emergency room last night for the first time in 15 years. Last time I saw the inside of an E.R., I’d sliced the palm of my hand wide open while helping to heft an empty stock-tank over a barbed wire fence. Well, last night wasn’t anything so cool or gory. No […]

One very simple and stupid reason: they bring out my mulish, cranky, inner fifth-grader, bucking obstinately at “creative writing” assignments. Around about the end of the third grade, when my handwriting began to be halfway reliable, and other people had half a chance of understanding what I’d written, I started penning my own childish stories, […]

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Weeks, in fact. About a month ago, a furor broke out across the Internet, as well as across the land where people listen to pundits, then get their panties in a wad over whatever outrages the pundit du jour is spouting.

As some of you might know, this Sunday is the opening of the NASCAR racing season, with the Daytona 500. While I’m not into NASCAR, I have a lot of respect for this race, it being one of the longest-running big events in the American racing scene. Sure, I’d chew my left leg off not […]

About which I bitched so vehemently last week. We took it to Vee Village today, and after 20 minutes of removing splash-shields and inspecting the radiator and its environs thoroughly, they called me at the office to tell me that there’s not a goddamn thing wrong with the radiator, its mounting brackets, the heater core, […]

I’d love to see a legislation passed making it legal to pummel the crap out of anyone who says, “I don’t care if they’re white, black, yellow, purple, or green…” or any variation or relation to this. It makes you sound like a fucking dumbass and it’s probably second in line to “Some of my […]
