This morning I remembered a mad conversation, between a young couple, I overheard in a burger joint a few years ago. And they were parents of a couple of young kids. I know that because the kids were in the booth with them. So, the sad part is how the kids had to listen. And that’s the sad part because … The rest of the story…

I discovered a convenient way to dive a little deeper into information. And X marks the spot. Yeah, the social media channel known as X. Maybe you remember it as Twitter. Anyway, all you gotta do to tap into the “secret” little tool is click or tap on the XI icon, known as Grok, next to a post or profile … The rest of the story…
Miss El and I are certainly a couple of cornballs. Because we truly enjoy watching TV shows that started even before we were born. And that’s a long time ago. One of the shows we’ve been watching, on YouTube recently, is I’ve Got A secret. I’ve Got A Secret is a gameshow where a panel has to guess the secret. … The rest of the story…
It didn’t just start this year. Or anytime during the “pandemic.” In fact, Elgielene and I have noticed this, for a long time, during our walks through scores of neighborhoods across the country. Generally speaking, kids don’t play outside now. Sure, SOME kids still play outside. But we go for long walks through all kinds of neighborhoods. And we comment … The rest of the story…
The pack leader gets to call the shots. Now, THERE’S a short sentence with an acerbic twist. Especially when you consider how much focus there is on “shots” these days. Did you see the movie, “Call of the Wild,” with Harrison Ford and an animated dog named Buck? It was a bittersweet movie that followed Buck’s story. He was a … The rest of the story…
I stumbled on this little blurb, this morning, as I did some research. It was about a fairly well-known book. And it said: “Might Is Right or The Survival of the Fittest” is a book by pseudonymous author Ragnar Redbeard, generally believed to be a pen name of Arthur Desmond. First published in 1896, it advocates amorality, consequentialism and psychological … The rest of the story…
You have a right to defend your livelihood. And this will come as a surprise to way too many people these days. But your right to do that doesn’t come from the government or the constitution. Nope. Rights don’t come from people. And just because some guy named “Bill” mentioned rights doesn’t change that fact. Nope. Rights come from God. … The rest of the story…
If I’m elected, I’ll do my best to restore whirled peas. And bring hominy to every household. Because, c’mon people. Can’t we all just get along? After all, we’re one race. So, that’s a great starting point. And speaking of whirled peas and hominy. Let’s talk about how segregation can be a useful tool. That shouldn’t offend anybody. Right? Hello? … The rest of the story…
Recently, I heard somebody say “It’s hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.” And I thought to myself, “Then, you only have bad guys.” Because “good guys” don’t happen by accident. Matter of fact, there really aren’t ANY good guys. Allow me to explain… Do you know the difference between good guys and bad guys? Is it … The rest of the story…
Puns are fun. Yeah, I’m a fan. In fact, you could call me Tony Punderburk, and I wouldn’t be upset. My name has been butchered way worse than that. Anyway… But not everybody thinks puns are fun. But those who don’t are almost always the ones whose sense of humor lives in public bathrooms. I remember a discussion I had, … The rest of the story…
It’s difficult to find more heartbreaking stories than those about the death of babies at birth. Or shortly before or after. And I’m sure you either know someone who’s experienced the loss or you have your own story. But here’s one of those heartbreaking stories that’s even worse. Because this story shows a total inability to think things through. A … The rest of the story…
While I was doing some work this morning, online, I discovered some great nuggets of Hillbilly wisdom. At first I was gonna share which ones were my favorites. But, heck, I like ’em all. And the picture that went along with the text is a big part of what made me read through. Because it was an old guy with … The rest of the story…
In your own mind, do you think you can truly understand the universe? And I mean all its vastness, emptiness, and mysteries? I don’t believe you can. Because, in your own mind, there’s a tendency toward imagination. Imagination is great. I love to use it to create word pictures. But, when you spend too much time in your own mind, … The rest of the story…
