There’s something very cool about a motorcycle cop but, at the same time, there’s something very dorky too.
@whistlingfish Ennui. In you. I get jokes, but they bore me. Ennui. Bore me. Get it?
@whistlingfish On wee. That would be a “Texas Catheter” (aka a “Male External Catheter”). Which is thick condom connected to a tube.

Did you ever think you were done, and wiped? And the act of wiping starts the plumbing rattling again? It’s like that for me sometimes.
Dear Family, What are we going to eat Saturday? Hot dogs & hamburgers, or sandwiches & salads? Your call. Jim

2+2=5, For Extremely Large Values of 2

In Blog on 29 May 2008 with no comments

Faced with this profound and bewildering foundational question of the value of 2 + 2, mathematicians followed the reasonable course of action: they just ignored the whole thing.

“Rush: The Last Taboo“
Why did the God of the Keyboard put the enter key so close to the shift key? I’ve found it to be problematic from time-to-time.
To WhistlingFish As a youngster, I once read Geddy Lee’s vocal stylings described as “Tweety Bird On Helium.”
Man, this is just begging for a tornado to hit it.

To All and Sundry,

The Gay Man, Marriage, and Me

In Blog on 27 May 2008 with 1 comment

I watched HBO’s “Recount” last night. James Baker led the Republican team that oversaw the 2000 Florida presidential election recount.
In 1970, Baker’s wife died of breast cancer. A scene in the movie describes how a friend helped him get his mind away from the sorrow. The friend asked him to manage a campaign to become […]
