Tall Tale Tuesday

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

Things are (finally) beginning to settle down a bit around the ol’ home front. It’s been a rocky start to the new year. Art and I had some money woes and arguments, and MrJames moving in due to his circumstances, plus a heaping dose of drama at work . . . it’s been an exhaustive [...]

Punday Night

Monday, February 27th, 2006

The farmer gave his chickens a bushel of feed, but they only took a peck.
Is that pure rump roast? Nothing butt.
A patient came running to my psychiatry office screaming “I’m a teepee! I’m a wigwam!” I told him “Relax, you’re two tents”.
Yesterday a cow saved my life - it was bovine intervention.
The incontinent Scotsman had [...]

Omigawd.

Here, have a BushFish. I’m horrified, how ’bout you?
I’m off to bleach my brain. See you for Punday.

A Plug, and Punday

Monday, February 20th, 2006

First up: Just Write. This is a website dedicated to encouraging creative writing. My work, and the work of MrJames will be up there, as well as the artwork of the maintainer, GA Tagget. Last I knew, we planned on launching in March. It should be good.
And now, from BadPuns, the punning:
I was visiting France, [...]

Ice Storm Insanity

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

My god, yesterday sucked a lot.
Thursday, we had an incredible ice storm. Sheets and sheets of freezing rain poured down out of steel gray skies, accompanied by thunder and brilliant blue lightening. It started in the early morning, and by the time I got up to let the dogs out, I had to kick the [...]

Punday Night: Let There Be Puns!

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Brought to you by the lovely people at Pun of the Day:
A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said ‘No change yet’.
What’s the definition of a will? (It’s a dead giveaway).

Atheism and Morality

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

For the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Dale Reich writes, If You’re Going To Be An Atheist, At Least Get It Right.
A few days ago, I took off my religious beliefs and locked them in a closet.
Then, in a further act of mental gymnastics, I put on the robes of disbelief. I wanted to see how I [...]

Work Complaints, Cool Link, Wednesday Riddle

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Let’s start this off with some very cool pictures: 3D Painted Rooms. These rooms are painted so that, viewed at a certain angle, they form optical illusions. Very neat!
Meanwhile, the Restaurant Where I Work(TM) is sucking. Superbowl Sunday was a very slow night, and a young man who was a photographer from our local paper [...]

Punday Night, Drama Resolution, Other Junk

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Well, the drama seems to have resolved itself for the time being. Our friend MrJames lives here now. He and his wife, Mary, the friend I work with, are getting divorced. The details aren’t mine to share, but it’s been exhausting and time consuming, and I’m not even the one getting divorced.
Meanwhile, the Doc is [...]
