Boots on the Ground: The Crazy House!

Fronkenshteen - November 30, 2022December 1, 2022

I awakened curled in a ball on the floor at the foot of the bed in my kids’ playroom, shivering under an open window, blanketless. I felt around blindly for my eyeglasses, and found them relatively quickly on the rug, propped against the closet door. I put them on and

To continue where I left off last week: this latest new wave of Thai opera simply wouldn’t exist without the efforts of the “big three”, none of whom would or could have had the same impact without the other two. The conclusion being, of course, that if that land mine

ballsofsteelandfury - November 21, 2022November 19, 2022

The last time I did a preview, I gave you a stereotypical look at the country of my birth. This time, I could give you a stereotypical look at the country of my ancestors, but the thing is that España actually have a chance to do something in this World

I have confession to make

I may be a Secret Southerner. I was thinking about this the other day as I was drinking Dr. Pepper, eating Mac and Cheese, and watching SEC football. Honestly y'all, it scared me. Holy shit, I just realized I say "Y'all" all the time! I believe it all started way back when I was

Your 2022 World Cup México Preview

ballsofsteelandfury - October 25, 2022October 23, 2022

The long and the short of it is that México, the land of my birth, isn't doing Jack Shit in Qatar except picking up tips on how to exploit poor people for cheapo labour. So, instead I will take this opportunity to tell you about the country in a format very

God bless the Duke of Argyll! If the youth of today aren’t the most annoying creatures on the planet I’ll eat my finest Sunday derby. Condor-sized prairie mosquitos and door-knocking donation guilt-trippers have nothing on these grating simpletons. I went to one of those Halloween corn maze dealies with the

The Cozy Simplicity of Crises: a Wednesday Motivational

Don T - October 5, 2022October 5, 2022

Let’s assume, just for a moment, that you are impatient or neurotic (quite a stretch, oh yeah). Imagine you are hungry and you extend an invitation to a friend or loved one for grabbing a bite wherever. And the very worst thing possible happens: “I dunno. Where do you want to

What the thing you all say? You're going to Karen Carpenter? I need to wiki this gal because.... Oh -- "throwing up". You see? This is why we can't get any young readers around here. Also because youth doesn't read anymore. This is, for sure, a Karen Carpenter. Quick story for you all.

trollsoharduniversity - July 20, 2022July 19, 2022

My experiences navigating the abject cruelty of the criminal justice system while representing misdemeanor defendants in the Bronx.

By the time you read this on Friday night, I should, hopefully, be somewhere on the East Coast. I do not know exactly where as I am driving across our country Smokey and The Bandit style to drop off an important package at an East Coast Institution

Good morning and happy Sunday everyone! I never thought it would happen to me. I'm in need of kitchen-Viagra over here. I simply wore my ass out the day this "menu" happened and lost the desire to return back to the kitchen. It can happen. I have a theory too. For these last several months I've
