New Posts

Okay, I am back and ready to post… well I will try to get back to it. My husband has taught me how to schedule a post to be published later so that I can write several and then have them update regularly. I am such a newbie. Sorry for the delay I hope to get things rolling very soon.

Also, thanks for all the support I received while my mother was so ill and after her death. I don’t think I could have made it with out you all by my side.

Overheard by proxy: inch

“Really I’ve always said, a 1/4 inch, an 1/8 inch, it all depends on the person.”

If you haven’t checked out my brother’s Airgunning blog, now is the time to check it out: his last post about teaching someone how to shoot was good, but his latest story from when he was in basic is a riot.

Guest of honor at a hemp party

No, it has nothing to do with smokin’ the reefer; the guest of honor at a hemp party is someone about to be hanged.

And yes, the past tense for execution by hanging is hanged, not hung (hung is used for other forms of hang, like hanging your coat up or hanging out).

Brekky

slang for ‘breakfast.’

The following image is scanned from an old edition of The Virginian I picked up at 2nd Street Books in Osceola. I have no idea what is going on in the picture, as I haven’t yet read the book; I just picked it up because my friend Trampas was named after the character in the book.

Review: Igor

igor

My patience for bad movies and even less-than-awesome movies is diminishing quickly. To that end, my reviews for bad movies will grow smaller also; it’s bad enough to lose 90-120 minutes of your life to a bad movie, but why give it the attention you would give a good movie when you really just want to warn people not to see it?

Anyway, here is my review of the animated flick Igor:

It stinks.

The plot is dumb, the characters are unlikeable, it’s trying oh-so-hard to be Tim Burtonesque, and it ranks down there with other road apples like Doogal and Arthur and the Invisibles.

These five words

The two Bon Jovi songs “I’ll Be There For You” and “Thank You For Loving Me” both have five-word titles, and both lyrics contain the phrase “these five words.”

Overheard: Crunchberry

“So I called my mom and I’m like, ‘I am going to choke to death on dry Crunchberry cereal and die alone in my apartment and nobody will know.'”
