The Zombie Apocalypse . . . Begins??
I’ll just leave this here . . . . About 100 brains missing from University of Texas No, the article wasn’t referring to the Board of Regents. (smile) But if it was zombies, they’re gonna have one helluva hangover. From my dealings with OB and Crown beer while in Korea (which at the time still […]
A Modern Thanksgiving Tradition – of Sorts
Because of the date of the original incident, this song has become a minor Thanksgiving tradition on many modern radio stations. This should also bring back a few memories for our Vietnam-era readers; hopefully, at this point, the passage of time has made them reasonably mellow ones. Enjoy. For what it’s worth: the song […]
A Blast from the Past: Cults Aren’t Always Bad
The 1970s were an . . . . interesting time in music. In truth, some of it was crap – remember that abomination called disco? And towards the latter part, punk? But some of the music of that era was good. The Stones did some wonderful stuff during the early 1970s. Ditto Deep Purple. The […]

A Monday Funny: Remembering Those “Great” First Cars
Presented for your Monday enjoyment: a thoroughly crude (and ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK/AROUND CLERGY, PRUDES, OR CHILDREN) but thoroughly hilarious tune from Adam Sandler. I think any guy or gal with limited $$$ who ever owned an old “beater” of a car can identify with this one. Ah, memories – and ONLY […]
Well, Maybe This Explains a Few Things
Ever wonder if there’s a military newspaper that’s published to serve the Pentagon and DC? You know, like most Bases/Posts/Camps/Stations have an installation newspaper. Yeah, one exists. It’s called the “Pentagram”. Seriously. And it’s owned by the company that owns the Washington Post. Yeah, the internal newspaper for the DoD HQ is named after a […]
