Happy VD!
Feb 14th
If you really think I’m the sort that recognizes Valentine’s Day as a legit observance … well … are you really serious?
Yeah, the scrawny, awkward, big nosed, Dumbo-eared kid that almost never received a single voluntary Valentine’s Day card from a girl is going to be stoked about stirring up all those childhood memories once [...]
I blame it on the Aussies …
Feb 9th
The terms “snowpocolypse” and “snowmageddon” have quickly become over-used, and for good reason … we’re still digging out of 3 FEET of this stuff and now they’re calling for upwards of another2 feet tonight. It’s hard to not talk or write about it, though, as this is quickly becoming an historic event. This weekend we [...]
OMFB, It’s the Snowpocalypse!
Feb 6th
Mere inches from “Storm of the Century” status, the D.C. area is buried under a veritable glacier. Granted, it’s rather soft and fluffy as glaciers go, but the feeling is definitely glacial all the same. Snow Cow, still otherwise “indisposed” somewhere in the Caribbean, is not here to protect us from the Snow Sharks. Worse still, the snow is getting so deep that heretofore unknown species of snow animals are making their presence known …
Onward …
Jan 30th
I awoke this morning in a quiet and calm mood. Didn’t stay out too late … didn’t have too many beers. I gave my mind a few minutes to discover if there might be any remote quadrant of the body proper which was in a state of relative discomfort. None was to be found.
One of [...]
Expanding your horizons …
Jan 24th
That’s right, sports fans … it’s time once again to have your horizons expanded, despite the fact that you are probably unaware that your horizons were even in need of expansion. But that’s why you keep me around, isn’t it?
How else would you have learned about things like mental laxatives or banal lube?

Mental Laxatives and Banal Lube (revisited)
Jan 21st
These words (“mental laxatives” and “banal lube”) are two terms which I believe perfectly fit the — to use the parlance of our time — “culture of corruption”, which dominates our political system; especially here in the U.S. To be perfectly blunt, society is in DIRE NEED of both a “mental laxative” as well as some [...]

Lend me your ear …
* * *
Some of you expressed a certain amount of shock — for some downright disgust — at the “soo’prize butseks” elephant photo I’d posted when last we met.
Some were brazen enough to ask, “Why?”
Such a silly question when it comes to a blog by Buck … if you’ve not learned [...]
Atmospheric Conditions …
Jan 10th
In case you haven’t noticed, the weather has been anything but fun of late.
I mean , holy hell, I awoke this morning to a local news channel on the television and they were talking about freezing temperatures yet again in central and southern Florida.
Seriously, freezing there is pretty much one step from the proverbial snowflake’s [...]
Rolling Over (again) …
Dec 30th
Well, here we are on the cusp of another one of those, “Out with the old, in with the new” end of the year moments. Like many other people, I’m looking forward to having a new set of digits slapped up on the calendar.
Seriously! I started this year (2009) all charged up and ready for [...]
Updates … n’ stuff
Dec 28th
Wow, what a weekend. I’d love to say that it was magic-filled and all of that other good, happiness stuff … but it wasn’t.
I shan’t, however, bore you with the occasion visitations of my own little personal hell.
What I WILL do, though … it try and toss a few laughs your way.
There are some new [...]
Missing: Snow Cow!
Dec 21st
Well, if you live in the mid-Atlantic, we had quite the weekend, did we not???
Granted, our friends from the hinterlands (Canadia, Wisconsin, et al) wouldn’t consider 21″ of accumulated snow to be all that problematic, BUT …
Shifting the weight … grabbin’ some traction!
You need to understand that the Virginia Dept. of Transportation recruits their snow [...]
Put on your boots, sports fans
Dec 19th
Strange days, indeed.
Here we are in the midst of some serious Global Warm . . . uh . . . ya know, now that I think about … when I was kid in grade school — back in sunny old southern California — our teachers, mostly a mellow-yellow lot of Woodstock victims still in recovery, [...]
Knee Grow … PLEASE!
Dec 11th
No, I don’t like big, nasty, knobby knees … the title is yet another of my feeble attempts to curtail my cursing. It’s another … shall we say … Faux Curse!
I mean, let’s face it … for some of us, the not entirely uncommon phrase, “Nigga, PLEASE!” really has a place, but … us “Crackaz” [...]

Have you seen any of the recent “brain fart” commercial from kgb?
Check it out if you haven’t …
That one absolutely cracked me up … if for no other reason than I grew up hearing that term quite regularly (my dad often made a gallant effort at covering for my stupidity when Mom saw it for [...]
Banal Lube
Nov 27th
I realize this goofy pun of a title doesn’t pronounce quite right, but that, too, can be a wonderful part of the written word; visually, the double-entendre still works, if only for a brief moment.
But anyhow …
Today’s little forray into the strange and scarely explored land of common sense is brought to you by the [...]
While I’m AFK …
Nov 18th
I try to keep this site active, but between work and other duties that can sometimes be difficult.
Those of you who were around for some of my blogging over at MySpace might remember the fish depicted in the video below. Some even questioned if my write-up of the still image in that blog was at [...]

I stumbled across these earlier today and just HAD to share …
Message boards at offices and grocery stores are usually quite a bore, but not always!
Some Vegan group recently posted an ad for a local support group. A thoughtful non-Vegan obviously had an inspired moment!

hahahahahahaha!!!

Courtroom drama … (a touching story, actually)
Oct 29th
Daport, MD (AP) – A seven-year old boy was at the center of a courtroom drama when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the jurisdiction’s child [...]
