Entry 775: Bait and Switch
Okay, first of all, it’s a diagram of an earthworm, so get your mind out of the gutter. Although, given today’s topic, maybe that’s where it belongs. From time to time, I’ve wondered in this blog about the continued existence … Continue reading

Entry 774: Tag, You’re It
I live in an ungated gated community, which is to say, there are two pillars that you drive through to enter, but no gate, or guard, or anything else that would keep someone out. We’re considering building a wall, but, … Continue reading

Entry 773: Don’t Go Near the Water

I’ve been banned in Russia! Well, not me (although, for all I know, maybe me), but this blog. Or at least one of my posts. Seriously. I received an email from WordPress, which is the site that hosts this blog. … Continue reading
Entry 770: It’s Not Like They Were Going Swimming Anyway
So you’ve probably heard that this year’s Miss America contestants will not be wearing swimsuits. Apparently, television ratings have gotten so low, the contestants will be naked and the event will stream live on Pornhub. Just kidding. But it has … Continue reading
Entry 769: No Instructions Needed
It happens in almost every space movie you’ve ever seen. In the midst of a battle, our hero manages to get control of an alien ship and use it against the invaders. Or the helmsman of a Mesentarian refugee ship … Continue reading
Entry 768: Breaking News–Hitler Dead!
World War II loser Adolf Hitler has been found dead in, of all places, Moscow, where it was suspected that the fascist and painter had been advising Vladimir Putin and possibly had a hand in rigging America’s 2016 Presidential election. … Continue reading
