Concerted Efforts Part 6: Progressively Lonelier Heart Owners

Since this site has just exploded into the world, many people have approached me on the street, asking the truly important questions like “Would you like to sample some of this fried summer sausage?” and “Did you pay for your gas at the pump?”  Let’s not forget this penetrating query: “Wouldja buy some chocolate bars to …

Flea Markets are the Real Superheroes

One of the great thrills of my childhood was going to the Flea Market in Princeton, WI during Saturdays throughout the summer.  My grandparents have a cabin in nearby Wautoma and when we’d go up there for a weekend or longer, my brother and I couldn’t wait to seek out the treasures amongst what others …

If All The World’s Indeed A Stage, Where Are The Dressing Rooms?

Due to the startling response that has rocketed forth due to the reaction towards my posts due to my not having enough to do aside from using the word “due” due to my severely limited vocabulary, I have decided to respond to your responses, indulging this wonderful audience with indulgences of my past performances in …

Almost Equal Sequels Part XVII: Hot Shots! Part Deux

Ah, comedy!  Remember when Hollywood made comedies?  I know it seems like an eternity ago, but at one time in the dim and dark past, despite the dysentery and the covered wagons, studios thought that comedies were a worthwhile enterprise.  They figured that audiences might pay to laugh at something on the big screen.  And …

A Fun Night Out At The Movies? You Bet Jurassic It Was!

***EDITOR’S NOTE:  As I lazily transcribe and repurpose older posts from my former disused blog in a flailing effort to maintain relevance, I thank you all for sticking with me over these many years!  Oh, and yes, it is me again, editing and reediting my edits to reedit once more.  And now, here’s another bit …

Gosh, I Hope They Come Out with A “Time O’ The Month Barbie”!

***EDITOR’S NOTE: Hello!  Yes, I am also my own editor.  I can’t really blame me for hiring myself for the job, as I’ve known myself for years.  Despite this, I know that I work cheap, and I’ll only hurt myself if I cheat me out of mine.  Anyway, I wrote this originally back in 2016.  …

Concerted Efforts Part 5: It Rhymes with Huge and Fairs Shine On

Golly, it has been a while since the last time I journeyed back into the ever dimming past to dredge up a heavily reedited concert memory for your reading pleasure!  Well, all I can say is thank you for your patience and I’ll be with you momentarily as I try to think of a topic.  …

Ever Since I Met You, I’ve Swept You Off My Feet: Reflecting on Animal Crackers

The year is 1928.  (Well, not now, of course, but back then it was 1928.  Do try to keep up, will you?)  At any rate, the Four Marx Brothers were the toast of Broadway in 1928.  The Marxes’ first Broadway show, 1924’s I’ll Say She Is, was a success and a vindication of millions of …

Being Open About The U.S. Open

Since the statute of limitations has finally passed, the curtain can be lifted so I can share that I had the privilege of being at the 117th U.S. Open in 2017!  The Open was located at Erin Hills Golf Course in the township of Erin near Hartford, WI in Washington County contained within the great state …

An Incredibly Overblown Reaction To A Rather Insignificant Incident, or Why The Dalai Lama Should Ride The Bus

(This post was originally written back in March 2016.  Seeing as how the Dalai Lama ended up in the news recently and realizing that with Earth Day coming up, I’m doing my part to recycle.  Here is a moderately revamped and hardly reedited version for you, dear readers.  I know you don’t want me working …
