Sometimes I Miss My Truck

I don’t remember getting cursed at by other drivers as much when I had my Chevy Silverado. There is an intimidation factor when driving a truck. I guess it depends on the type of truck you own too. You can still yell at people who drive stock Nissan Frontiers or Toyota Tachomas. However, that rule [...]

The Supervisor

I always do my best work when I have someone with crossed arms and a glare of authority burning a hole in my forehead. This always bothers me, why does someone feel the need to stand around and watch you work? As a programmer I find it highly distracting when someone is watching me write [...]

Marriage Lessons from Tony Chachere’s

When Robin and I were first married, I thought it would be nice to slowly introduce her to some of the food I enjoyed when I lived in Mobile, AL. Once night I prepared Red Beans and Rice with cornbread. I went all out and bought two boxes of Tony Chachere’s from the local Food [...]

Words with Friends Etiquette

I enjoy playing words with friends, even with those people who use words and I’m about 99% confident they don’t know the meaning. Let the other person win sometimes, so they will keep playing with you Skip first rule if it’s your sister Don’t resign a match if you are losing. Well, if you are [...]

Spiders are about the only thing that really creep me out. I guess it has something to do with eight independently moving legs.

I think it all stems back to my childhood when I was having my double hernia operation. The doctors wouldn’t release me from the hospital until I stopped [...]

Don’t Do #2

Especially if you didn’t do #1

What is the filthiest thing in the bathroom?

I vote for whatever this thing is. What is the purpose? To help you tear the toilet paper off the roll? How much trouble are people having if they can’t tear toilet paper? I doubt this thing ever gets cleaned and is constantly caressed by poop fingers. I guess the flush handle is really the [...]

The Hot Frank at Perfectly Franks

So what, I’ve been to Perfectly Franks twice in a week. I knew the restaurant would be a problem because it’s delicious and so close to my house. Last time I took my son on a guys day out for grease and had the Frank Cuda. It was probably the best hot dog I’ve ever [...]

The Hell Burger at Vortex Bar and Grill

I like a restaurant that tells it like it is. If you don’t like something or want something changed on your order you will charged as much as they want, or you can leave. You will find a no nonsense menu that will satisfy your burger craving or send you to the grave with a [...]
