Geezer Alert!
It Is a Sunday…
Sometimes simple words just don’t do enough. I’ve been spit at and called a baby killer. while in uniform. I AM Bad Company! I’m gonna offer a tune that captures a thing. If you’re a Nam vet and/or did GoE this probably echos for you as well. Just a tiny thing in a broader reality, […]
A Velvet Hammer
Since others here are offering various tunes I’d like to offer something new that, for better or worse, captures a thing worth sharing. I’ve seen those faces, but some of the charities referenced at the end are suspect – to me anyway. Also I wanna hope that the numbers mentioned in this tune are way […]
Zero and the Giant Thumping Machine – A Tale of Almost Terror
I approached the imposing building quite late in the day with some trepidation. The doors were inviting enough, I guess, and they did swing open as I neared, but there were no humans in sight. I was there for a test – a special sort of test where any METAL is evil indeed. I’d already […]
A Blast from the Past: Cults Aren’t Always Bad

Read Jonn’s post about today… His post is/was moving, It captured my feelings rather profoundly, BUT even though it ain’t Memorial day I just can not feel free to easily celebrate. No free meals, etc. This has […]
Nine of the Deepest Holes in the World
This IS a real story but oddly disappointing in some ways? When I saw the headline my geezer brain made some obvious connections. Then I realized it only said “Deepest” NOT Biggest. Oh well, it Is Sunday evening. ETA: If this stays up – Visit the Stolen Valor page for references to BIG holes.
I Need Your Advice – Sorta
I have been invited to lunch this Monday at the local elementary school here in WV by the 8 or 9 year old son of a friend! It is for Veterans Day. I’ve already admitted to being a bit uncomfortable with this sort of thing. Toss in a near total lack of experience with yungins and […]
