Gorilla Monsoon on the mic for this outdoor event at Caesars Palace. They’re referring to it as “the world’s largest toga party”. I’m sure that’s supposed to be clever, but it comes across and being completely lame. [...]
It’s Monday morning and damn if we didn’t just have a great weekend – though a little on the weird side. At this point I’m a little sunburned and a little chafed (damn you protective webbing on the swimsuit… damn you to hell!!!) but man was it fun.
Friday:
After work and dinner [...]
It’s been quite some time since I came up with any kind of a Top 10 list. I was flipping through the channels the other night in a hotel room and ran across First Blood on AMC. Naturally, I sat there and watched it till the end and it got me to thinking what a [...]
The short answer is, I have no idea who this dude is. And therein lies the problem. This is one of the “suggestions” that Facebook gave me this AM as someone that I should be friends with. Now I’m not here to judge this guy at all – in fact he seems like a swell [...]
I get the distinct pleasure every Tuesday evening to watch my son play t-ball. This is the second year that he’s at it, and while I think that 4 is way too young to play the game of baseball in any form, it’s still about the cutest thing you’ll ever want to see. G is [...]
I recently went on a quick trip to Vegas for work – in on Wednesday out on the “red-eye” on Friday evening. The show was great and I managed to get in a little bit of time at the tables which was nice as well. In preparation for my trip, I loaded up the iPod [...]
I’m not a big fan of email jokes, but every once in a while I get one in my inbox that gets me. Ran across this one today (from my mom no less) and figured I’d pass it along.
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case [...]
Event: WrestleMania VIII
Date: April 5, 1992
Venue: Hoosier Dome ( Indianapolis, Indiana)
Attendance: 65,167
This show was billed as having a “double main event” which rarely (if ever) works out. I believe that this is the first Mania event that I watched live on PPV. We get Gorilla and Bobby [...]
Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a big fan of Kevin Smith. That said, it only made sense that one of these days I’d read one of Smith’s books and I started with My Boring-Ass Life. I typically just get my reads from the library these days, but this particular title wasn’t available [...]

Come On Folks… Make Some Coffee
Folks… when you work in an office environment and you drink coffee, have some decency and make a pot if you take last cup. It won’t kill you. This simple act of brewing a pot of coffee will certainly NOT kill you, and will make other coworkers (who are looking for coffee) want to kill [...]
