The very first time I read the comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes, I fell in love with it. Why? Because I connected with Calvin. Here is a kid whose imagination and creativity is always shunned by parents, teachers, babysitters and friends. The man who created the comic is a […]

When someone types LMBO, what does it mean? Have you ever seen anyone laugh a butt off? If you find the secret, open a new gym called The Laugh Gym. Does anyone ever type SMBU (Shake My Booty Up) or LYBO (Laugh Your Butt Off)? It sounds all hip and […]
I just saw a Tweet that referred to Trailer Trash Tuesday. Well why not an “official” Trailer Trash Day? Somebody has to make this stuff up so why not me for today? We have the Talk like a Pirate Day, why not a Trailer Trash Day? You have to admit […]
I read a blog http://goo.gl/aDlhX regarding three things never to say to a pregnant woman. This post was hilarious and thought provoking. However, it took me back 27 years to the birth of my son and the glorious experience of child birth. So, providing equality (and good fun) I thought […]
I may have mentioned that Monty Python corrupted my soul. In the silly classic, The Holy Grail, the brave knights encounter many perils too perilous to cross. They yell “Run away, run away!” Well let me report to you what I’ve seen on the roads lately that makes me want […]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I thought the acronym OMG stood for “Oh My Groin” because I originated it, I swear. I promised to go into detail to give you a sense of my fellow men’s pain. My first OMG moment was when I was learning to ride […]
Why is it there are multiple aisles in Barnes & Noble for young adult paranormal stories? I call this group YAPper’s, not to be confused with annoying Pomeranians and Poodles. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud all YA authors and their followers, but I’m feeling a little discriminated. I’m in […]
Do authors have groupies? I’d like to know so I can hire my security team in advance. I was commenting on Facebook with a friend who is a musician. We discussed who in the band gets rushed first. Well, it’s always the lead singer with the torn pants. He always […]
I am a nerd. I freely admit it. I have forewarned you. I love goofiness and writing about it. The Lord of the Rings is my favorite story of all time, but I have a complete blast thinking of parodies. I owe this to Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the […]
