Let me say this about that. Every so often, we hear a story that shakes our confidence that man is really at the top of the food chain. There was the recent news coverage of the lady in the Florida Keys who caused an accident while driving down the highway as she shaved her “coochie”. But hell, everyone living in […]
Let me say this about that. I must admit that I am not a particularly religious guy. To me, organized religion seems to be all about forcing narrow, single-minded dogma down our throats. Organized religion always takes the position that their particular credo is correct, and all other beliefs are corrupt. But one thing they all have in common […]
Let me say this about that. whine: [hwahyn, wahyn] – verb. To utter, in a nasal tone, unfounded complaints. To snivel in a peevish and self-pitying way. To accuse, without basis, someone else for one’s own self-created problems. They have been with us all our lives – WHINERS. In grammar school there was always some kid who […]
Let me say this about that. A friend of mine from Alabama was visiting for a few days and I asked him if he would like go to a baseball game. I thought this might be a nice diversion for him since there are no sports played in the State of Alabama that do not require a firearm […]
Let me say this about that. Oh, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. You have really ‘shat-in-your-hat’ this time. Word has it that your D-I-V-O-R-C-E is final and, as part of the settlement, you have agreed to pay your ex-wife a whopping $700,000,000 dollars!! I’m no economist, but I believe that amount exceeds the gross national product of Bolivia. That dollar […]
Let me say this about that. NASCAR fans get a lot of flack for being a bunch of ignorant, tobacco chewing, pick-up truck driving rednecks. I vehemently disagree !! In fact, I have devised an IQ test to measure the intelligence of NASCAR fans which I believe will lay to rest the reputation – for good […]
Let me say this about that. I must admit that in my advancing years, I am still confounded by the accelerating pace of the ‘dumbing down of America’. It seems that facts, common sense, mathematics, and any sort of cognitive thought has been replaced by emotion, feelings, illusion, and fantasy. Nowadays, how things really ‘ARE’ […]
Let me say this about that. Americans are a sports-loving bunch. Show the average American guy a game that involves a ball and you can be sure of one thing … he’s gonna bet on it. Seriously, we love our sports and our interests vary widely from baseball to dog racing to figure skating to horse […]
Let me say this about that. I was exhausted. I had been sent to Melbourne, Australia to turnaround a struggling electronics factory owned by my employer. In those days the Australian labor laws allowed each employee one month’s vacation, one month’s sick leave, and nearly a month’s worth of holidays. In addition, once per month an employee […]
Let me say this about that. I enjoy sports. My favorites are at the college level, especially baseball and football. I also enjoy a broad range of other sports on a selective basis when it involves a classic event. I’m not a die-hard fan of any of these sports but I do watch special events like the Kentucky […]
