I rarely know what you’re talking about.

Stig-lightful, Part II: B&E

So after our capital time at the strip pits, we headed back to the Clay compound so Darleece could finish sewing the badass apron she’d been working on, and so I could play Hank Williams songs for Grandma Clay (she likes “There’s a Tear In My Beer” best; she made me play it twice; I [...]

Stigalicious

I’d officially like to apologize to Stigler, Oklahoma, for my lack of enthusiasm at visiting it yesterday. I’m not gonna say it was nonstop fun, but it might well have been pretty close.
Where to begin? Lunch kicked ass, and included hominy with Velveeta, some surprisingly tasty lemon cake, and the bombest-ass steak fingers I’ve ever [...]

Local Man’s Ass Kicked By Week

I’m pretty sure this week kicked my ass. I’m pretty sure this week beat me into a pink smear, then stepped in me and smeared me across the linoleum. I’m pretty sure I need some sort of coma this weekend just to break even.
I get no such coma. What I get is another weekend of [...]

Swing on this, pal

Man, I feel weird. The weather here is just kinda fucked up right now. It’s constantly overcast, it’s kind of chilly and breezy, but it’s humid as hell, which means that after a half-hour’s walk to work, I stumbled in this morning sweating and kind of cold. Also the pit of my elbow was sweaty. [...]

D’oh.

I just got back from a media preview of the Coen brothers’ new flick. I’m at this point with the Coen brothers where it’s very difficult for me to tell whether I just like their work as a whole so much that I give them blanket approval, regardless of the quality of the actual film [...]

Can’t stop the rock

First, I woke up this morning feeling like a bear had been sitting on me for most of the night. Apparently those beers and wine and more beers added up. Sheesh.
Second, after Darleece returned with a Bacon Egg ‘n’ Cheese Biscuit I was way too hung over to feel guilty about eating, we settled in [...]

Hooftastic

Day one of “Operation: Walk Your Tubby Ass To Work” is under way. The first half went pretty well; I forgot to time myself, but I think the walk came to a little over twenty minutes. A little sweaty upon arrival, but it’s humid and I’m wearing long pants, so on the whole no big [...]

Hoofin’ it

Spring seems to be rearing its head here in scenic Oklahoma. Along with fall, spring is by far the loveliest time of year in our grubby little state, in no small part because it lasts about three weeks, after which it immediately becomes summer, which brings the kind of scorching heat that indicates that god [...]

Scoreboard

Humorous or misleading phrases I encountered on the Internet this morning between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00
• Movie: Gay Mormons in Love
• Has Dr. Phil Crossed the Line?
• Houston Checks into Drug Rehab Center
The last one made me laugh because my first thought was, “Houston? The porn star? I didn’t even know she [...]

Spring fog

Everybody I know seems to be in the same sort of early-year holding pattern. I figured it was just a localized thing until I talked to Gregger on the phone the other day, and he said pretty much the same thing was going on with him: Nothing. Just going to work, going home, watching TV, [...]
