A New Job For The Old Carmudgeon

Why can't you people see that my verbose old bastard character will be your greatest weapon against those who would seek to annoy you? As I said before, I would like to offer said character up for all of your angry letter writing needs. This would be for use against large, beaurocratic entities such as public services and government agencies, strictly for the purpose of... [ Read More ]

Blonde Volition

My old college chum Erin Murphy has knuckled under to crushing peer pressure and started a blog. Can't say I agree with her stance on the Iraq war, but hey, she's got a delightful title. I'd perma-link, but I'm still operating under the assumption that my hunny-bunny will soon have our new page up and running.... [ Read More ]

Some Parasites Have All The Luck

While the lowly mosquitoe must suckle on the dirty hides of mangy, unkempt dogs, Brooke and I get to sponge wisdom and wine from the Newmans. Chris and his lovely wife Paola have been dear friends to us marital newcomers, especially when you consider that Chris is a filthy stinking sharp-toothed lawyer-type, and Paola is unsettlingly good at Civilization III.

Keep The Harvard Grads Happy

I say this because, having finally gotten a good look at some of the details of the John Allen Muhammad trial, I can come to one conclusion: This man is crushingly, inescapably stupid. Okay, it's one thing to fall asleep in your getaway car. That happens. He had the rifle on the seat, which is bad, but, come on, how is a scoped M-16 going... [ Read More ]

Word From The Front(s)

Homepage Tsuras Brooke is now in the final seduction phase of selecting a new host for our page. At which point, we will give them our money, transfer all of the data, (there's quite a bit) and pray that we don't encounter the same problem. I know this troubled, delayed birth has been most trying for the twelve of you who are actually interested. However,... [ Read More ]

I Dunno, S'noo Wit Choo?

Just a few random things that are going on in my life, since anyone who still reads this blog can only be in it for the voyeurism anyway. When Your Prized Possessions Start To Weigh You Down... My goode ladye wyfe informs me that her personal effects from New York have arrived at our spacious abode, and that our abode is now no longer spacious.... [ Read More ]

Delays, Delays, Confound These Delays!

A commentor over at Pejmanesque recently asserted that Brooke and I are no longer blogging. Okay, despite the fact that basically all of the evidence backs that up, it is in fact not true. We were supposed to roll out our brand new, shiny co-blog right around our wedding. However, Brooke (who actually knows how to do these things) informs me that there has been... [ Read More ]
