My grandfather used to go to deer hunting. One time he told us a joke about a father who brings home some venison meat from a hunt. His kids are unaware of what it is because it doesn’t smell like beef or pork. He tells his kids, “I’ll give you a hint. It’s something yourContinue reading “‘Parents’ Is An Acquired Taste”

The Strange Case Of Emily Longstreth
The life of a professional actor can be a difficult one. There’s the numerous auditions that go nowhere. Many famous actors have their own horror stories. Kevin Costner played a dead man whose face wasn’t seen in what was supposed to be his big break in The Big Chill. George Clooney, Laura Dern and CharlieContinue reading “The Strange Case Of Emily Longstreth”
‘AKA Charlie’ Too Saccharine
The problem with aka Charlie Sheen is that it doesn’t reveal much that we haven’t already known or that a quick Wikipedia search wouldn’t tell us. I didn’t know he became a father at an early age with his high school girlfriend. And I vaguely remember the whole relationship with Kelly Preston that still isContinue reading “‘AKA Charlie’ Too Saccharine”
Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!
As a long-time Stephen King fan, I want to wish him a Happy Birthday as he turns 78 today. For a man to live the life he has and to still be kicking is a testament to perseverance. Raised in poverty mostly in rural Maine, his father left when he was two. And King andContinue reading “Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!”
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It
It never surprises me that the people who denounced “cancel culture” and screamed “Fuck your feelings!” have always been the most insensitive. Decades ago, it was “America: Love it or Leave it!” during the Vietnam War era. Following 9/11 as the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raged on, people screamed, “If you don’t like it,Continue reading “‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It”
Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!
As a supporter of the LGBTQIA community, I don’t believe that homosexuality is a choice. Yet, so far this month, I can can understand why some men decide just to be with other men. If there weas a Bang, Smash, Dash consisting of Kendra Licari, Phillies Karen, and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, most men wouldContinue reading “Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!”
What An Outrageous Fucked-Up Time To Be Alive, Right?!
I’ve lived in my house nearly 20 years. It’s right across the street from a cattle and horse ranch. I’ve smelt both bullshit and horseshit for two decades and it still smells worse coming out of Washington, D.C. About a week ago, we thought he had died and so many people were happy. The airContinue reading “What An Outrageous Fucked-Up Time To Be Alive, Right?!”
The Day We Lost Princess Di
I remember waking up on Aug. 31, 1997 to the news that Diana Spencer, aka Princess Diana, had been killing in a car wreck in Paris. The news was horrifying as a long list of accusations and conspiracy theories were already spreading while her body was still warm. And this was during the early daysContinue reading “The Day We Lost Princess Di”
Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota
It’s almost becoming a daily if not weekly routine in America where someone goes into a school or school event and opens fire killing and injuring people. This time it happened at a parochial school, Annunciation Catholic School, in the Minneapolis area where two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. There are 17 peopleContinue reading “Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota”
‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years
When King of the Hill premiered in the late 1990s, it seemed to be a subtle satire of small-town Americana during the era. But while South Park and The Simpsons made episodes to echo the changing world in the aftermath of 9/11, King of the Hill seemed to be stuck. It didn’t help matters thatContinue reading “‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years”
