My Life With Grandpa Joe
March 31, 2008

While growing up, I was very close to my cousin Paul. He was two years older than me and that meant we had a lot of fun together. We lived in separate states, so we valued the time we could spend together.
During the summer, Paul would come back to Texas and we’d visit Grandpa Joe. [...]

What Makes Philosophers Laugh???
March 30, 2008

………………………….
I love brilliant people. I really do.
I love to watch them think. I love to watch them in the throws of their brilliance. This is of course, the process by which they solve problems. They way they interact with others and even themselves.
But sometimes, the truly gifted–the ones that [...]

Oedipus Rex
March 29, 2008

But done in just over eight minutes, with nothing but vegetables in the starring roles.
The cast makes for one all-star salad.
The opus is the Technicolor by product of the brilliant Jason Wishnow. It actually premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2004 (I think). Want to learn more about the film? [...]

Worship My Blog…It Turns 1
March 28, 2008

.
Yes chidrins, this blog; this little threadbare literary oeuvre has now been entertaining and dismaying your asses for one whole year.
It’s hard to believe my blog baby is one! ONE!!!!! Where has the time gone? I remember it’s birthday like it was [...]

Ouch!!!
March 27, 2008

Men and women aren’t alike.
Nope, we’re built differently and there are some things women can do that men can’t. Men can write their names in the snow and we can dot the “i” or add ellipsis……..
However, both sexes can add parenthesis around the name if we’d like. Yeah, nice brown [...]

LK’S BLOW OFF POST
March 26, 2008

I am busy…doing assorted and sundry things, like making devious Simon Bar Sinister-esque plans to overthrow the government of Chad.
Why?
Because I think the country should be named “Jeremy”.
Two..three..four…
My older readers will love that one.
But I digress.
I supped with a friend recently and New Age weirdness came up in conversation. Seems [...]

What Is Bill Thinking?
March 26, 2008

Why state the obvious?
Because I have to.
Former President Bill Clinton is pictured here, not looking very possibly First Lady-like. He seems excruciatingly bored and wanting to be anywhere else.
See how detached, distant and disconnected he looks as he sits there watching his wife, stumping on the stage of some nondescript arena in some nondescript [...]

Observations: Parts 1-6
March 25, 2008

Last summer when I was much younger and gave a damn, I used to compile these weekly posts called “Observations”.
They were fairly popular.
Basically, they were compilations of photos which comprised my own very special version of those now famous “separated at birth” bits you see. “Spy Magazine” used to publish a version as well. [...]

Jane & Paul Are Breaking Up
March 25, 2008

3/24/08
Dear Reason Why I Drink,
It is after some deliberation that I send you this letter.
The truth is, I just can’t go on anymore with our relationship. It’s become a burden to maintain. Your mood swings are extremely taxing and as a result, I find that I’m more worried about other things, not you. And [...]

Calling “Shotgun”: The Official Rules
March 24, 2008

The amazing brain trust, that IS the creative and intellectual backbone of Laurie Industries:

has decided that it’s time put to rest all the infighting that’s often involved in the process of selecting passenger placement in a motorized vehicle.
What are the rules, you ask?
They are listed below and strictly apply to the calling of “shotgun” (the [...]
