Rants and musings, without care for substance.
Dear Mini Cooper owners,
What did I do to deserve this?
Are you two compensating for your smaller wheel bases? Or are you jealous of my lower monthly payment? What did I ever do to you? I’m not mad, but I’d like closure. And reimbursement for my cab ride to the office.
Sincerely,
You Know Who

It’s just snowed. Maybe still snowing. You’re about to shovel your driveway. But where to put all of it?
Maybe you have room to shovel it to the side of the driveway. Super. Maybe you’re going to pile it into the bed of your truck. Great. Maybe you’re going to say “to hell with county ordinance” [...]

I was driving and saw two kids riding in the opposite direction on bicycles. One of them was talking. The other had no hands on the wheel, busy texting and not looking at the road at all. In the 20 seconds or so that he was in my immediate view, he didn’t look at the [...]

There’s been a lot of people renting out their houses and apartments for the 2009 Presidential Inauguration, asking for ludicrous amounts of money. Thousands of dollars per night with four- to five-night minimums. The only people more silly than the people who think they’ll successfully negotiate a non-cash short-term sublease without a contract, legal assistance, [...]
Out at Home Depot the other night I saw this dualie double parked diagonally across two spaces about 20 feet from the door. This sort of thing pisses me off and inspires me to dream about calling a flatbed tow truck (which is what you’d need to tow the beast away). If your vehicle doesn’t [...]
I must have been really out of it this morning because I chose the first available space when parking in a federal lot. Despite being in unfamiliar territory, it didn’t even occur to me to look along the fence for any restriction signs. I recall seeing a lot of similar looking vehicles in the row, [...]

There are a lot of kids in my community that are spoiled rotten these days by their parents.
As I was running out to do some errands the other day I saw no less than nine cars parked on the side of the road, whose occupants were all waiting for their kids to be dropped off [...]
I am the proud recipient of an award. Though it stemmed from a email stemming from a blog entry comment, I was awarded the “Best Typo Ever in Life” award by Carol last week.
After years of writing silly things, I win an award. For a typo, of all things. I was speechless. I didn’t know [...]
I hosted a malt liquor tasting on Saturday night. About a dozen people turned out to rank five of the cheapest forties that I could find within a mile of my house. The brands tasted included King Cobra, St. Ides, Olde English 800, Colt 45, and Hurricane. I would have included Mickey’s and Steel Reserve [...]

I’ve been getting calls from San Antonio the last couple days. I don’t know anyone there. No one ever leaves a voice mail.
I got a call from 210-507-4450 on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:44pm.
I got a call from 210-734-4346 on Thursday, January 17th at 6:37pm.
I got another call from 210-507-4450 on Friday, January 18th at [...]

When I awoke today it was clear that I was going to need to buy some cold medication. Weis opens at 6, so I drove over there on my way to work. It turns out that the “good stuff” with pseudoephedrine isn’t on the shelf anymore thanks to the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005. [...]

I came home today, walked in the door and promptly tripped over a pair of shoes. Then I realized that there were six pairs of shoes in the entryway, all mine. It was disturbing, considering that I used to be the guy that had one or two pairs of shoes. Now its six. Scratch that, [...]
I have this habit of writing things down that make me laugh. Quotes are a big thing for me, especially on car trips. A quote can bring back memories long since forgotten. The only problem is that I occasionally misplace my notes. So here’s a few quotes from the car ride up to New Hampshire [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
If you’ve never been to Seacrets in Ocean City, know the following. It is big. Three bars in the concert hall alone. Two outside. At least one more by the small stage. That doesn’t count the restaurant. Instead of wood, concrete, vinyl or stone floor in the concert hall, they’ve got diamond plate. They’ve got [...]
