A Combo Deal

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

     Your Wednesday Riddle, from WebRiddles: I am the tool, for inspiring many. Buy me in the store, for not much more than a penny. Don’t overuse me, or my usefulness will go, what am I? Do you know? Highlight for the answer: An inkpen.

Punday Night, and Monday Morning Interesting Stuffs

From Silly Puns:

A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: “A beer please, and one for the road.”

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Pun of the Day:
The recent windstorm through the trees was an absolute debarkle.
There was a wolf named Tim and he decided to shave off all his fur in the middle of winter. What did the other wolves call him after that? Tim-Burr-Wolf.

Vacation Is Over For Another Six Months

Friday, August 18th, 2006

     Here it is, folks, the last day of my vacation. Art and MrJames went back to work today, and Lil’ Art went home, after staying with us for several days. So, I get the house to myself.

My Day WAS A Tall Tale!

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

     Yeah, yesterday was exciting. Fuck. I can’t take too many “exciting” days like that.
     Started out, I was driving to work, window rolled down, happy-happy singing with the radio, and all the sudden something huge flew in the window right by my head. Startled all to hell I whipped my head around to look, and out [...]

Punday Night: Vacation

Monday, August 7th, 2006

     I am exhausted. True to form, it has been a horrible week at work. It’s like they try to kill me just before vacation. I’ve been meaning to update for a couple of days, and just haven’t had the brain power. (Not that I do, now, either, but to hell with it. It’s Punday.)

GenCon 2006

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

     Wednesday
     We left Michigan about 9:30am, and got in about 4pm or so. The car ride wasn’t too bad — we took Adamczykon’s car, which has A/C, and that made the ride pretty comfortable. I also managed to doze through a few hours of it, pushing the fast-forward button of life, as it were.
     Upon arriving, we [...]
