“Life Lesson #6: Amuse Yourself”

As you can see, I’m a massive fan of Moleskine notebooks and have used them over the years for various purposes like journaling, poetry, capturing random ideas, sketching, etc. Their first page has a space to record your name and offer a reward in case of loss. I immediately saw this as an opportunity forContinue reading ““Life Lesson #6: Amuse Yourself””

“My Apologies, Mr. Trump”

“Fight for Old DC!”

The folks at Hard Rock Cafe didn’t ask me, but here are my suggestions for naming their specialty cocktails in the Trump 2.0 era: The Election Denier The Insurrectionist The Orange-faced, Poop-throwing Monkey The Daily Dipshit Covfefe Martini The Feculent Philistine The Unholy Smegroni Gin and Clorox Putin’s Lapdog That Musk Rat The Highball Hitler

It’s 95% lies and fantasies and hypocrisy and adolescent trolling. It will end badly. And worst for the red-state working class whoContinue reading “Potent Quotables:”

“The SLAYER-er”

Today, we continue the saga of that little-known troubadour, Tommy Treacle. The Jan 25, 2025 blog post exposed his failed commercial attempts to produce horror film themes in the 1970’s. As the 1980’s matured, the many genres and subgenres of heavy metal music began to morph and multiply at an astonishing rate. Mr. Treacle foundContinue reading ““The SLAYER-er””

“Be KIND, decline…”

This story relates to events that occurred in Denver, CO on Sat Jan 11, 2020: It was a call weekend for me. I worked in-hospital from 9am to 7pm. The pace was generally brisk and the food pretty bad in the cafeteria, which closed at about 2pm, so I had loaded up on snacks. AContinue reading ““Be KIND, decline…””
