Dear Idiot...
June 28, 2025 I have a message to the idiot who purposely makes his muffler misfire in a vain attempt to be heard. Yes, I hear you mother fucker, every time you pass my house. My dog hears you and cowers in the corner, the birds who fly out of the trees hear you, my cat who scurries into the bushes hears you, the rabbits and groundhogs who dive into their holes hear you...well, you get it. Well, no, you don't because you are the poster boy for what we call a dipshit. Hear

Where Were You?
June 27, 2025 I'm not sure if it was a testament to great customer service, or a sign that my drinking has progressed to the next level. On the way home from vacation today the phone rang in the car and my liquor store Bottle King was calling. My first thought was how the hell did they get my number?! The second was that they hadn't seen me in a few days and were getting worried. I know first hand from all my years as a bartender, when a regular abruptly stops showing up

Where's the Fish?
June 26, 2025 The thing I remember the most about going to the Jersey Shore as a child and even as a young adult was the fresh seafood. Every place you went had lobster, scallops, clam chowder, fresh flounder, oysters, steamers...you name a creature from the sea, it was available, raw or cooked or somewhere in-between. I just spent a week in Cape May County and all I can find is short ribs out the wazoo. And hey, listen, nothing against the short rib as I am a huge fan. I

Hall of Fame?
June 25, 2025 Well, I guess it turns out that birds of a feather really do flock together. Notorious cheater and steroid junky Roger Clemens just gave fellow cheater and convicted criminal Donald Trump a pat on the back. After bombing Iran with zero intelligence reports, or at lease none that the White House seem to be able to come up with, he called the Don a 'Legend'. I'm glad you will never be elected to the Hall of Fame you fucking disgrace of a baseball player. I alwa

It's a Scorcher!
June 24, 2025 It's the first heatwave of the season! Whatever will we do?! At least all of the local news sources out there have us covered. According to the powers that be, if you feel too hot, go inside! Or failing that, sit under a shady tree. No shit Sherlock! Stay hydrated. Really? I would have fought fire with fire and refused to drink anything. Thank you for clearing that up for me. Try to avoid cooking a roast or a turkey in the oven today, maybe go for some

Public Service Announcement
June 23, 2025 I will start this off with saying I realize there is an ass for every seat. As a matter of fact, it's our family motto. I've even made two signs that say this very thing...one in our house and one out on our patio. Yes, I realize that everybody has their own opinion and tastes, and I try very hard every day to teach my children this valuable lesson, and I remind myself this on a daily basis. With all this being said, I have something very important to share w

Surfs Up!
June 22, 2025 I want to brag for a second. Not that I'm on vacation this week. No, it's not that at all. My brag today is that we managed to drive to our destination without stopping once to eat, or pee or stretch our legs! No sir! One straight shot! 175 miles in less than three hours. Holy crap, did we hit a wormhole? Not only that, we managed to drop off the dog, do all of our packing and leave the house relatively clean this morning. Sweet Georgia Brown, we did al

Shiny New Truck? Not Bloody Likely!
June 21, 2025 I love my truck. She's a keeper. Low mileage, utilitarian and get this...it still has a CD player! Boom! She's full of scratches, and the interior hasn't been cleaned in years. Covered in dust? You betcha! What about the bed? Filled with grass clippings, dirt, and I think there might be a tree growing back there. I tell you what, she's filthy she is! But she gets me to and fro with my trusty mower banging around as I go from lawn to lawn. I've been see

Terrible!
June 20, 2025 I don't know about you, and maybe I'm in the minority here, but aren't black and white cookies the biggest disappointment in the world of desserts? Here you have this delicious looking, icing covered delight just begging to be eaten. You pour a tall glass of milk, and take a moment to breathe it all in...try and savor the moment that lay before you. Then you take a bite, and if the world isn't cruel enough, you cringe as instead of a crispy delicious cookie y

Happy Juneteenth!
June 19, 2025 A happy Juneteenth everybody! I know it still has that "new smell" as far Federal Holidays go, but it is, indeed, a Federal Holiday. It celebrates the day that the United States of America put its big-boy pants on and did the right thing for once. It ended the practice of Slavery and ushered in a new era where, get this, people couldn't buy and sell humans and work them to death legally anymore! Huzzah! What a concept! If you ask me, I feel that this is jus

Schools Out!
June 18, 2025 Well we've got no class. We've got no principals. We've go no innocence. We can't even think of a word that rhymes! That's right baby, school is out for the summer. No more scraping knees and spelling bees...it's summer time! I've always been a summer junky. Sit me in a 100 degree heatwave next to a pool with a cold drink and I'm in paradise. And let's not forget that extra hour of sleep every morning. For those of you who like it the other way, well, y

No Wine for You!
June 17, 2025 Well, we've all been there before, and on both sides of it. You know what I mean, when the group you're meeting with really doesn't want you there. Or, the obverse, when you're in a group that is dreading a certain person joining. That's what happened up at the G7 Summit in Canada yesterday as the other leaders not named Trump, gathered in a hotel lobby for an off the cuff conversation and a few sips of red. You know, before the douchebag arrived! It was a c

In Other News...
June 16,2025 Well, that was quite the weekend. The Tyrant king had nobody show up to his big, beautiful birthday party, even though it cost the taxpayers over 45 million dollars. Aw, who's going to eat all the potato salad he spent all morning making? I guess they could freeze it. Can you freeze potato salad? They should look into that, by summer's end there will be nobody left in Idaho to harvest this year's crop! The left seems to have woken up from their slumber. The

Happy Father's Day
June 15, 2025 Well, it's raining here in New Jersey, again! But I'm not going to let it tarnish my Father's Day. I got to sleep in until 10am, woke up to the smell of bacon cooking and was lavished with gifts when I eventually made my way downstairs. I just want to take this time to give a shout out to all my fellow fathers out there. It's not always easy being dad, but at least in the end you'll have somebody out there who can sign the paper work when it's time to put yo
