How old is grandpa?

I have received this email in various formats.  Here’s the latest: One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events.  The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and things in general.                                The Grandfather replied, ‘Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: television penicillin polio shots… (more…)

Clone Wars

Me and Moonlet went to see Clone Wars again yesterday.  I really don’t get this movie at all.  For starters, why does Skywalker look more robotic than the robots?  Some humans looked even worse.  Now, I know this is a cartoon, but just a little effort would have made a lot of difference.  It just annoyed me.  Especially when you… (more…)

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder Stuff After seeing plenty of sneaks about this movie, I decided I had to see it.  I was not disappointed. This folks, is the best movie of the 21st century. This was the first time I spit my drink through my nose probably since Pulp Fiction. Tropic Thunder delivers MANY lines that will be remembered for a long… (more…)

Olympic moments to remember

I haven’t found much reason to watch the Olympics this year.  Oh sure, you had some guy swim faster than all the other guys eight times ( technically seven, he had a lot of help in a relay ).  But, really, how many times can you watch someone swim a straight line and get all excited?  I kinda burned out… (more…)

Alcohol and speech

Nope, no more booze for me! Sorry, but you’re not really my… (more…)

Kim wears short shorts

Well, my alma mater has made the news: Kymberly Clem, a 20-year-old student at Eastern Kentucky University, wore the dress Sunday after purchasing it from the mall in Richmond the previous day, the Richmond Register reported Tuesday. After just a few minutes inside of the mall, a security guard approached her and expressed concerns over the length of the garment.… (more…)

Rod Stewart

Guess who I’m going to see Friday.  I’ll give you a hint ( if the title hasn’t already ): Amazon.com Widgets Now, I’d go into a LOT of detail of how Rod Stewart’s music has been a part of my transition from kid to adult. But, I would guess it would mimic pretty much every 40-something’s experience. For me, since… (more…)

Stupidity is not a crime

Robert Diamond must have decided he had had enough of something.  What it is, I don’t know.  However, during his planning for the big event, I have to assume he picked the clothing carefully as the headlines guaranteed by his deed would be plastered all over the news for a day or two.  This would be his one claim to… (more…)
