Let me say this about that. It seems to me that there is nothing more un-American than something or someone that is given credit for excellence that is not based on actual performance. It’s unjust. It’s inequitable. It’s prejudicial. It’s malodorous. It’s abhorrent. And, it just pisses me off. Back last June, I wrote an […]
Let me say this about that. With apologies to Humphrey Bogart “Of all the bars in all the world …… ” give me the sleazy ones (that last part was mine). Sleazy bars are home to a rare breed of animal that is comfortable with who they are, have no desire to change their station in life, […]
Stewart at The End of the World [AUTHOR’S NOTE: This post is the first of five in this week’s miniseries on the ‘World’s Sleaziest Bars’.] Let me say this about that. I love sleazy bars. The people you meet in sleazy bars are unemcumbered by any pretension which allows you to immediately find the soul of a place. There […]
Let me say this about that. My wife has been trying to kill me for years. Her method is insidious in that her attempts are cleverly disguised as gifts. For my birthday, she doesn’t give me traditional gifts. She gives me, what she calls, “experiences.” I call them “near death experiences”. These “experiences” include such […]
Let me say this about that. A few years ago, there was a big flap about the lack of political correctness in the Florida State University’s use of the “Seminole” as it’s mascot. Seemed some folks thought it lacked sensitivity and was disrespectful of the poor Seminole Indian tribes in Florida. Unfortunately, the chalky white, […]
Let me say this about that. In 2001, the Writer’s Guild of America went on strike against network television. The strike lasted only for 22 days, but it forever changed TV entertainment. The writer’s union mistakenly believed that the drivel their membership pumped into D-list sitcoms was actually entertaining. It wasn’t. And during the strike, the “Reality Show” […]
Let me say this about that. OK, I’m an old guy – and – I’m a sports fan. Not just spectator sports, you understand, but participation sports as well. There are a whole host of sporting opportunities out there for old guys, especially for guys that are a bit portly, such as myself. I must […]
Let me say this about that. Anybody who knows me knows that I love to go fishing. There is something intrinsically magnificent about a sport in which one can participate while drinking a beer. After all, I am a guy and I am an American. However, it has only been recently that I have taken up ‘fly […]
Let me say this about that. It is the nature of human beings to want to have an explanation for everything – and this character flaw is especially pronounced in America. I suppose the rationale for this bit of arrogance is that we are at the top of the food chain and SHOULD understand the […]
Let me say this about that. I get to Atlanta five or six times a year. I went to undergraduate school there and still have lifelong friends that live in and around “Hot Lanna”. Everytime I go, I have to make an obligatory stop at “The Bar”. “The Bar” is not so much a specific place of […]
