I’m still rehabilitating my knee. Rather, tiny Mary Anne is trying to do chinups hanging from my calf while I lay on my back. Imagine: they actually want the knee to bend! Dur. It bent before the Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmmmmm). As a matter of fact, it bent better and with less pain. The goal is a ninety degree bend. Ta-da. Raise your broken leg and sal-loot, I’m there. Broken Leg 1.5 parts Jim Beam® Bourbon 4.5 parts hot apple juice/cider Cinnamon stick Lemon wedge In... Read Full Story

CBS announced that the tweets from Justin Halpern’s “father” which he puts on Twitter as ShitMyDadSays has gotten a huge offer from CBS to be a sitcom.

But congrats to Halpern for squeezing a few million out of CBS. In related news Sarah Palin says she will return to Twitter as “ShitSarahPalinSays” o... Read Full Story

Doc, my friend who is fifty-three had a heart attack last Friday. He has a very important job working to keep up mental health among the troops stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. This keeps him away from home during the week, so he has an apartment near the base. He woke up Friday early knowing he was having a heart attack. He was only five minutes from a hospital, and in true guy-style, he drove himself to the hospital. (He explained if he would have waited for 911 he would be dead.) Things he h... Read Full Story

Earlier, 3:20 a.m., to be exact, I started writing this uproariously funny blog post (in my head.) It had it all, a bit of mystique, wonder, fascination wrapped with tons of clever repartee. Links? I had dozens of them. This would bring dozens and dozens, perhaps even hundreds of new readers here. The blogs I linked to would throw plaques and awards at my feet and write such high praises as to make Jenny blush.  Mental Poo would write about me and not his anal meetup with celery. 3:20 a.m. So...

We live near an interstate and often jump on exit 26 near our house and run down to exit 24 to avoid low-speed traffic. We also like to go to Nashvegas fairly often on the interstate. And you have wondered the same thing when you are sharing the road with the behemoths of the roadways… Why aren’t over-the-road trucks more aerodynamic? Some truck makers and after-market dealers have tried to make the truck more aerodynamic with body panels that knife through the air or swoop it up ... Read Full Story

For bigger tips, servers in restaurants should follow these guidelines from the New York Times via The Savvy Boomer… Examples: 7. Do not announce your name. No jokes, no flirting, no cuteness. 8. Do not interrupt a conversation. For any reason. (emphasis mine) Especially not to recite specials. Wait for the right moment. 14. When you ask, “How’s everything?” or “How was the meal?” listen to the answer and fix whatever is not right. 17. Do not take an empty plate from one guest while oth... Read Full Story

Bulbous decided that she is just sick and tired of blowing her nose in the morning. We have concluded she needs a nose catheter. I’m thinking we could adapt her CPAP hose and mask for the purpose.
