ski trip

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Tennessee skiing. Skiing in the volunteer state is the equivalent of scuba diving in the Hudson. It’s murky and finding dead carcasses is not beyond the scope of possibility.  Is it fun? Of course it is. But it takes a while to get to fun.  Skiing […]

Call of Duty

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Call of Duty, the video game. It’s angry. It’s realistic. It’s sad. It’s engaging. “Cover Me. Bomb active. Gotta kill.”  The game has a dark, ominous voice that narrates the action. As soldiers move through a virtual amphitheater of death, you can see the action through […]

Highway slow down

  You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. The highway traffic jam. How does it happen? Where does it come from. Suddenly, out of thin air, I’m in stop and go, bumper to bumper traffic. I’m adrift in a slow motion log jam. I see angry snarls from drivers. I am subjected to creative […]

christmas day tv

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.  Christmas Day TV.  It’s a whose who of what the hell are they airing? Christmas TV to the three major networks has all the creativity of a plastic NERF ball for granny. Don’t the suits realize millions of families have scratched and clawed their way to […]

The Gift Card

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. The gift card. Merry Christmas here’s your gift card. Are they impersonal? Maybe. Do they say to the gift receiver I don’t care about you because I didn’t take that much time to actually buy you a whatever it is you might or might not like? […]

The Night Before Xmas

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature is stirring not even a mouse. And that’s good because if there are mice here, then something is seriously wrong. The stockings are hung like Mexican mules, while visions of sugar plums ferment […]

end of the world

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ The purported, alleged, hinted at, much ballyhooed, suspected, rumored, stumbling, bumbling, rumbling projections of the end of the world! Whew.  If you are in your concrete bunker reading this now… ha ha. Take a sip of water from your brand new canteen. Pop open the door […]

shop lifter

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Professional shoplifters. Scum bag rat bastards. These people are slimy like phloem. They are corrupt like congress. They are wrong like licking a wall socket. Shoplifting is a low level crime that attracts as much attention as a yest infection epidemic.  and then there are the […]

fantasy football

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ MNF It all comes down to Monday Night. Especially for fantasy football.  In a nutshell, my entire season is on the line. I have no players left to play. I’m up by 11 points. I’m playing against Chris Johnson – running back – of the Tennessee […]

3-D

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ 3-D My friend says to me, “I don’t know if it is worth the extra money.” I look at him and laugh. He is wearing his goofy 3D glasses and his Windsor knot scarf inside the theater. Oh it’s worth it Oliver Twist. It’s worth it.  […]
