On the list of things I need to learn to draw: loafs of meat.

The Force of Nature said it was anything but natural, but it tasted pretty damn good all the same. Tryptophan sandwiches for a week!

Double post tonight kids...to make up for missing yesterday, of course. Enjoy!!






Dad quit a long time a go, but certain damage was unfortunately inevitable. I just hope to hell his docs know what they're doing.












Steve McQueen totally rocks. If you are under 30, you will probably not really get this movie.

I'm just gonna say it once. Leave a buffer space, damn it!

psst. click for the animation.




This one is a work thing.

All I wanted to do was flush. Instead, it dumps like 15 gallons a second into the bowl. I swear I could have washed dishes in the deluge.

Is there a "Scared Straight" program for teens that don't know how to web surf without infecting the laptop with more viruses than a hooker with a really poor immune system? My son will be a charter member.

There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

Shit, I actually have to go to work in the morning. My headphones will be on ALL DAY.

My sister is wrestling with her memories of Easter. I wrestled and dodged 10,000 people at the Coyote Canyon today. My Easter dinner was catfish.

Now that the pup's been picked up, our family is all back together again.

We think she lost weight while at the kennel Did she go to a spa while we were gone?

The trip is over, and we are safe at home. Props to C. and S. for putting up with us as long as they did.

Spring burn-offs in the Flint Hills under a full moon. Drive safe through there, kids.

How do marathon runners do that breathing thing again?

So the boys had never seen a polar bear. Who knew?

Yes, it's a polar bear. Art by circles and ovals.

It's called the "V.L.A." and it is a place of SCIENCE!

The mountains are beautiful, but 7000 feet is way up there!

For a place locked in the desert, the Albuquerque Aquarium was quite nice. But guys, seriously; label some of these beasties. I can't answer questions when all I can say is, "um...yeah...that's a well...something fish."

The Frontier serves great breakfast, but know that kitsch and nostalgia come with a premium.

It's been awhile since I've been in the desert southwest. Fifty mile per hour winds and a lot of lose sand tend to increase the mineral content of your diet.

I bought a big-ass coffee mug and a key chain. Woot! Big-ass tourist I am!

I should get to the mountains more often. You can't help but feel awed.

Tucumcari, NM is one large truck stop. Ken's burgers are GREAT, though!

Preparing for this trip has been pretty stressful, hence the late post. Sorry about that kids! But wait, you get two today, instead!

I will be in Albuquerque, NM this week. I'm hoping for sun and baseline tan. Postings may be sporadic, but I intend to keep caught up. Thanks for understanding!





There is this thing called "travel mercies". Am I entitled to those, or do you need frequent flyer miles?









Our cafeteria totally pissed me off today. I may write words to them. At least Wendy always smiles at me and sort of knows my order.

I don't suppose a shower gel called, "Sedentary" would be very marketable.

It's possible I simply don't like to smell, "active". Active is very sharp. It is astringent.

I really wish that all employees had access to their own private phone. Using a public phone to resolve one's confrontations just made everyone uncomfortable.

Hardwood floors are beginning to sound like a good idea. I'm gonna have to pay for the f**king carpet, anyway.

Can I just lock myself in a room for three months? I promise I will deliver.

Sometimes motivation comes in buckets. Lately, I've only been getting a medicine dropper.

Psst. Click on the image for the animation.

In a week, the Force of Nature, the Engineer, the Troubadour, and myself will be in Albuquerque. Four people and a Kia Rio. Hilarity will ensue.

Do you know how freaking hard it is to draw a maple leaf freehand? Well, at least Canadian kids only have to drawn one maple leaf and not 50 stars.

Global warming my ass. The ice age cometh.

You still get ganked in S.T.V. They find you in the weeds.

Another double post today kids. Sorry about the delay.









The fact that none of the thespians actually fell into the pit, was pretty amazing. It could have only improved the orchestra, though.

Chickens may make effective popcorn disposal, but the janitors have to herd them with large brooms.








They were Segways, but they weren't normal Segways. These were hard core, off road, Terminator and shit Segways. They will totally roll over your foot for jaywalking.

Topeka actually translates to "A good place to dig potatoes." Wiki it. I shit you not.

Rest in peace, you most Magnificent of Geeks; All Father of Nerds. You will be missed.

Sometimes I just write some random shit down. I thought it would be clearer than what it was; but the Force of Nature still had to have a better explanation.


Gary Gygax died today. I had this fantasy that maybe he's to be buried in a tomb with traps and hideous unspeakable things. For a donation to a charitable cause, you can risk life and limb for the ultimate treasure...

I don't normally run instances on a Monday night, but Upper Kara was too interesting to pass up. Got my Tier 4 helm -- Woot!
I am the Walrus!!
Gotta love game graphics. The helm looks like a superhero mask with two blades jutting from the jawline like tusks.

And she did too. And it makes me worry; but sometimes, someone has to defend the helpless.
It's a simple process: hit a woman, take your beating. And don't ever do it again.

Double post today kids. From the sacred to the profane, the Foamy Goodness just can't stop.

Sixteen years and still going strong. I continually wake up amazed that she still puts up with my sorry ass.
Raspberry chocolate champagne is really not that great of an idea.
Greg Brady can actually sing. Who knew?






I've been in so many meetings where this expression is used, it makes me physically ill. It's one of those lazy marketing expressions like "when it comes down to brass tacks". Essentially meaningless cliche'.
While vulgar, I think THIS meaning is much more appropriate.
My Sister's Mac doesn't like my art.
