Farfignewgen? (spelling? who cares?)

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Or is that “hakuna-matada?” Anyway, what ever happen to that Volkswagon ad campaign? Which ever ad agency came up that sales pitch should’ve been paid double for getting Volkswagen to buy it. Or… should they only have been paid 1/2 because the public didn’t latch on to that word as a catch phrase?
I like watching […]

Wild Dogs.

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I put my garbage out tonight for pick up tomorrow morning. I still get the same twinge that I got when I was a teenager in SC… that wild dogs are going to come over and rip apart my garbage. Throw it all over the yard/street. Not so much “wild dogs”, but local dogs roaming […]

C. Underwood sings Skid Row?

Monday, November 19th, 2007

The wife and I were browsing You Tube the other day and ran across clip of Carrie Underwood singing Skid Row’s “I remember you.” Dang, she sings it a little better than Mr. Bach. No disrespect to him — his voice is an amazing blend of whiskey throated rocker with clear as […]

Dead adult movie stars

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I was just checking one of the myspace sites that’s a friend of REV21. It’s an X-porn star. Her site is packed with sexual addiction recovery info, articles, links to other porn recovery sites, etc.
One display caught my attention… and brought it all home.
She has a photo slide show created called “In loving […]

What the deal with Ron Paul?

Monday, November 12th, 2007

I know Ron Paul is considered to be a long-shot candidate at the moment, but I heard he’s making some big gains this week. I’ve done some investigating to see if he’s “all that.”
Some general info that I found:
“The Texas libertarian’s rise in the polls and in fundraising proves that a small but passionate […]

Fist fight with a monkey… for real!

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

My step father shared this gem with me last year. In his own words… ENJOY!
The event took place many years ago when I was a young man. During the time when, in this part of the country, side-shows traveled around and would set-up in any available vacant lot to carry on its activities. […]

Lowes is closer…. Isn’t it?

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

My buddy Jim relates his current employment struggles:
We were in an immediate need of a particular part for a communications job that we were working on. I suggested that we go down to Lowes to purchase said product. My co-worker, in a very matter of fact tone stated to me that Tony Stewart, […]

Clown College graduate…. seriously.

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

So I was talking with a new acquaintance of mine… a sweet older lady. She decides to share with me that she graduated from Clown College… seriously. (I had to laugh because she doesn’t look the part - I’m thinking Bobcat in “Shakes the clown” not this nice grandma). She continued to explain that it […]

Junkyard Daze…

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

In the last few years my dad shared this gem from his childhood. I asked him to re-familiarize me with the details… Here you go… in my dad’s words –
This is a true story about me when I was in my teens. I enjoyed working in the automobile junkyard and garage that my dad and […]

Star Trek… or not.

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

We were milling around the house a few weeks ago and our TV happened to have been left on a station showing an old episode of Star Trek. My 3 year old walked by… stopped dead in her tracks… stared for a few seconds… and then said in a slightly disturbed voice: “hey… that’s… not… […]
