Let me say this about that. Am I alone here, or does anyone else remember when common sense ruled our decision making? Is there anyone else out there that belongs to the tribe who believes rational thought, logic and reason are required to guide us through life? Are facts irrelevant in today’s world? Have intelligence, lucidity, […]
Let me say this about that. There is no way around it. I’m fat. But if you look around – I’m not alone. It is one of God’s little jokes that when you get older and can afford more of life’s pleasures, anything you put in your mouth will add twice it’s weight in body […]
Let me say this about that. Omar, a good friend of mine came by last week to borrow a set of tools. When he walked into my house, he asked why I was wearing different colored socks. I told him that it kept the purple dragons away. Omar: “Shambo, you been smoking peyote again? ……. wearing different colored […]
Let me say this about that. I was raised in a rural environment and have enjoyed the out-of-doors all my life. But it hasn’t always been without it’s problems. For some reason, I seem to bring out the worst in Mother Nature, especially when it comes to wildlife. At the last accounting, I had […]
Let me say this about that. I, not unlike every other guy on the planet, could not define “menopause” if you held a gun to my head. We know it exists, we know that it’s bad, we know it can turn a perfectly normal female into a ‘Babbling Beelzebub Banshee Bitch’ for no apparent reason – […]
Let me say this about that. I’ll just come right out and say it. I’m overweight. To expand (pardon the pun) on that description, one could say that I’m rotund, ample, stout, generously proportioned, corpulent, full bodied, oversized, plump, gordo, prodigious, gravitationally complementary – or most simply, I’m a lard ass. I’m only six feet tall, but I’m […]
(Happy New Year! Please enjoy this Classic LMSTAT while Shambo enjoys the Holidays!) Let me say this about that. When I first decided to do this blog, my friends advised me to ‘write about things you know’. Sounded like good advise to me, so I pondered a few days on numerous subjects upon which I […]
(Please enjoy this Classic LMSTAT while Shambo enjoys the Holidays!) Let me say this about that. Most Americans are pretty finicky about what they eat. Basically, we’re “meat & potatoes” oriented and sneer at anything exotic on our plate. Asian cuisine, however, is much more varied. When I lived in Asia, I was served such delicacies […]
Let me say this about that. Shocking news was released in the latest issue of “Consumer Reports” magazine regarding one of America’s most common sources of protein – chicken. “Consumer Reports” has been testing chickens for bacteriological contamination since 1998 and reports it’s finding once per year. This year’s analysis consisted of testing 382 store-bought […]
Let me say this about that. I got sick of watching network news the other day, waiting for the college basketball scores and decided to try to find them on the internet. It didn’t take long – and network news was still on so I busied myself with a little web surfing. I ran across a couple of […]
