It was about 93 degrees outside. It’s the kind of heat that makes you grateful for an air-conditioner at home, and if you don’t have one, you’re grateful for a ride in the car. Battling swamp ass becomes a high priority.
Living through many summers in central Pennsylvania there’s a familiarity that comes with [...]

My Idol Is Not a Portly Guy

I watch American Idol ((though unlike the rest of the straight males out there, I do not need to come up with an excuse like “I flip to it during commercials for the NBA*” (which, as we all know thanks to White Dade, is completely bogus since an NBA game is entirely made up [...]

A poem about how much I like cheese:
Cheese can be holey,and smelly and green.Cheese can be yellow,or orange, or ‘tween.Cheese comes from cows,who give up their milk,so we can make sandwiches,for all of our ilk.

Franklin Has a Podcast

That’s right. After much pressure from my dog, Franklin, I’ve allowed him to fire up the ol’ microphone and Logic and make his very own podcast. It’s called Franklin Talk and I co-host it with him to keep the show moving along.

Oh Fat, Lazy Parrot, You Complete Me

As I’m sure most of you know, those of us in the blogosphere (God that’s a stupid word…but I guess its better than blogsville, blogtown, or Alliance of Nerds And Losers*) are able to monitor you. That’s right. We can, and do compulsively, check to see who’s been on our site, where they’re [...]
