One of the benefits of being a bit off-kilter (a polite way of saying nuttier than Cooter Brown) is that there is a non-stop reel of craziness that runs 24/7 through my gourd. If you doubt my craziness, I just wrote nuttier than Cooter Brown. Truly bad cinema. People that know me have come toContinue reading “Can You Just Imagine?”

How Lucky Can You Get?
The first time I remember hearing the expression was when I was a horny teenager and it was whatever you did or could do, to put you in a position to partake in some sort of sexual activity. Now, if you don’t believe in luck, as some people don’t, it tells me a couple thingsContinue reading “How Lucky Can You Get?”
Over the Top
Don’t get me started about people who do not tip employees who perform a service for them. Now, if you just stopped there, we would just look at you, roll our eyes, and think what a cheap asshole. But no. It’s when you try and justify your moral ascendancy, in the rarified air ABOVE mortalContinue reading “Over the Top”
My Strategy at the Craps Table
I find it curious that certain of my daily blogs (this is number 948) will occasionally strike a chord with some of my readers. Once, I had mentioned a place, and several responded about it. Lately, my successful run at the Las Vegas casino craps tables in the late-seventies-early eighties brought forth a common question:Continue reading “My Strategy at the Craps Table”
Dice
I went to the Four Queens downtown one early morning and there were five people at the crap table: the stickman, and a couple dealers and two players. I was enthralled at the action at craps tables and it drew me like a mosquito to light, so I told one of the dealers that IContinue reading “Dice”
Rack ‘em Up
I write in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! about some of the crazy things I did while in the five years I spent in the glimmering city. One such chapter involved learning how to shoot nine-ball. I already knew how to shoot 8-ball and had arisen to the point of mediocrity that IContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up”
Why Is It?
The Domestic Despot was telling me about the phenomenon known as “gray divorce.” Now, I have been pissed, mad, and frustrated numerous times in my thirty-eight years of knowing this woman, but I never once thought of the “D” word. Truth be told, I never even thought of the “M” word. Lightning bolt. Seriously. NeverContinue reading “Why Is It?”
It’s Not Like it Used to Be
Nothing is. Nor should it be. I say that wistfully, after getting a glimpse of the upcoming Derby Day clash between my beloved Manchester United Red Devils and the powder blue faggots from Manchester City. I am a lot of things, but I am not stupid. If I was still a betting man, I wouldContinue reading “It’s Not Like it Used to Be”
Still Not Ready
I predicted it before the misguided advertising campaign of Anheuser-Busch which has led to the death of Bud Light. In the haste to be open, inclusive, and in an effort to improve the species, SOME true believers are swaying others with much less conviction, to confront, and more importantly, accept concepts they do not completelyContinue reading “Still Not Ready”
You Don’t Say!
A year ago you couldn’t avoid stories about BabyHead Putin’s fuck-up of an “invasion.” They were everywhere. But the big news ended up being the resolve of the Ukrainian people and their allies as they proudly defended their country. So I am thinking that they faced that bald little bastard Putin’s best shot and handledContinue reading “You Don’t Say!”
