  • BIrds do it, bees do it…..

    Okay, this time it was just the bees, but I got your attention, didn’t I?  I was merrily mowing the yard when all of a sudden I got attacked by a swarm of bees (must have run over something).  Mr. B, not related to the afore-mentioned bees, having heard me yelp, spotted me coming around… Continue reading

  • Bathroom wit

    Okay, this made me laugh first thing this morning….  Via Big Dick’s Place.  It’s amazing the humor you can find in bathroom graffiti….. Continue reading

  • Why the Obamas weren't invited to Chelsea's wedding….

    Okay, I don’t care that she’s getting married, I don’t care how much it cost.  I don’t even care about the guest list really but I did think that it was interesting that Hillary’s boss wasn’t invited.  Back in the day, it was considered to be an insult to not invite bosses and the like… Continue reading

  • Assimilation/re-education not education

    Over at Minding the Campus, there is an article about a woman in the Graduate Counselor Education program at Augusta State University.  Apparently the woman in question is christian and as such, believes that homosexuality is a lifestyle, etc.  She does not believe in foisting her beliefs on others and “affirms the inherent dignity of… Continue reading

  • The problems with anecdotes instead of actual arguments….

    So I was reading Big Hollywood’s Greg Gutfeld and he has an interesting post about one of the folks that Obama trotted out in order to gain sympathy to get the unemployment benefits extension bill passed.  Much like Sarah McLaughin’s commercials about abused animals, the liberals find the few folks that best fit their narrative… Continue reading

  • A blast from the past… Numa Numa

    I’m not sure what brought the ‘Numa Numa’ kid to mind, but here’s an earworm for you….  I remember when this video went viral about five years ago and still laugh when he starts ‘breakin’ it down’. Continue reading

  • Via Breda

     Via Breda.  I’m guessing it was the yoga.  Can’t help it, love it. You are 17% hippie.   You’re not in the lowest bracket of non-hippie-hood, but you’re close.  I advise a field trip to a food co-op or a farmer’s market.  Do a few interviews and take notes, because there will be a quiz… Continue reading

  • A Day at the Ranges…

    Went to the range with Mr. B, Og, and Partner yesterday.  Spent quite a bit of time poking holes in paper with my Beretta .22 at 25 yards.  Managed to keep just about everything in the black, which I thought was pretty good considering there was a fairly strong breeze yesterday (Og said it was… Continue reading

  • Firefox issues…

    Og has conquered his issues with Firefox but Blogger seems to be having some issues now.  If you want to leave comments, I guess Opera or IE are the way to go.  I’ve got 3.6.8 on mine (Mr. B does as well) and there seems to be a major glitch with comments.  Any solutions out… Continue reading

  • I CAN believe I ate the whole thing…..

    Mr. B is a fantastic cook on a regular day, but tonight he truly outdid himself.  On the menu:  grilled sharp (10 year old) cheddar, onion, and mushroom stuffed steaks (13 oz); fresh asparagus tips with a three cheese sauce; and fresh corn on the cob.  The times are not many when my manners completely… Continue reading
