As I flip through my FB screen, I will occasionally see something I am personally affronted and insulted by, and I take immediate steps to remove the post and any like it forever. Not so fast to pull the trigger when one of the hot internet babes flash a bikini pic occasionally. The Domestic DespotContinue reading “I Guess I Still Don’t Get It”

Another Brick in the Wall
When I moved up to Las Vegas in 1977, I had been offered a partial academic-athletic scholarship to play soccer and attend the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Thanks to some European influences, the team was starting to grow a strong following. One of the coaches was Thomas Heinz from Stuttgart, Germany, and an ex-Bundesliga (topContinue reading “Another Brick in the Wall”
See What Happens?
When I take a week off from posting blogs? For starters, my Manchester United Red Devils continue to flail helplessly in the quicksand that has become the reign of Erik Ten Hag. It seems like rather than accept responsibility, he thinks he can fire/trade his way to molding a team in his image. But soContinue reading “See What Happens?”
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”
Le Dans Macabre
More than five-hundred mass shootings in The Greatest Country on Earth….. So far. What a tragedy. A beautiful 440-lb. brown bear was euthanized because human swine, deserving of loss of life, decided they were obviously raised by bovine grandparents and simian parents and had to throw out their trash and garbage uncovered and littered throughoutContinue reading “Le Dans Macabre”
More Sports Injuries
I wrote about how far sports injuries have come, or rather the way they are treated. As much as I love European football (soccer), I still can’t stand it when an ultra-fit racehorse of an athlete gets knicked on his boot and down he goes, writhing in ungodly pain and what looks like a certainContinue reading “More Sports Injuries”
Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…
People use their “platform” to shove their beliefs, be they from the religious, business, or political arena, IN YOUR FACE? Ben and Jerry shut the fuck up about politics. You are ice cream makers. Why do people feel cheated if you merely listen to whatever horseshit viewpoint they have? What? You don’t AGREE with me?Continue reading “Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…”
Independence Day
Not just a classic fun adventure movie, but our national holiday commemorating all the things this country once did and believed in, oh yeah, and an extra day off from work. I grew up part of my life on military bases, so patriotism was effortless exercise and especially when you are stationed overseas because thereContinue reading “Independence Day”
One Man’s Lemon
I have always been a bit of a contrarian, choosing the road not taken more times than not as I have made my way through this extraordinary ride called life. I joined the high school debate club as an avenue to get close to the prettiest girl in school, a blue-eyed German girl named Gerta.Continue reading “One Man’s Lemon”
What Have I Missed?
An English football club just won the insanely-difficult treble; they won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and now, the crowning Champions’ League. At least a Manchester team won, just not my Manchester team. Maybe next year for my Red Devils. I always swear off even looking at the website, but inevitably have to findContinue reading “What Have I Missed?”
