Slightly Tarnished Golden Years
There is no sin except stupidity.-Oscar Wilde I won’t say that he was dumber than an ox, but he wasn’t any smarter than one. -James Thurber writing about a classmate at OSU. It is a good thing that he speaks so slowly. It gives his brain a chance to catch up. -Winston Churchill speaking of…

Rugby Golf
Our guest blogger today is former Professional Rugby Player and well-known sports critic, Mr. Olaf Nootbaar. Olaf, who is apparently as bored with watching endless hours of professional golf on TV as the rest of us, has requested the use of this space to present his revolutionary ideas for improving both the game and alleviating…

Throwin’ the Hoolihan
This is the story of why I often feel the need for some serious therapy. I did apply to appear on the Dr. Phil show, but his producers told me that my story didn’t fit their current needs. It seems that when I applied, they were looking for sets of twins who had started families…

The Hal Hall of Fame
The International Hall of Fame for people named Hal has recently become my very first paid advertiser. My payment consists of being the only non-Hal to ever be inducted into the Hal Hall of Fame.

Dough Ray Me
Here is a more-or-less true story about some people that I, quite fortunately, am no longer in touch with for obvious reasons. My old friends, and I use the term loosely, were a couple who lived in Tuba City, Arizona, about 15-20 years ago. I don’t remember the exact years for the same reason that…

Another Feeble Merchandising Scam
I’m proud to announce that the all-new Brain Wreck T-shirt is available for purchase. Now is the time to order up and make your fashion statement. You can be that person who turns heads as you walk by and make people wonder how you could possibly be dressed in such poor taste. These T-shirts are…

Geo. Washington Blues
Well, I have been watching the January 6th hearings with bated, or more like stink-baited, breath. My breath problem is most likely just a by-product of my addiction to politics or sardines. They both tend to develop disgusting smells in very short periods of time. Those of you who are old-time blues aficionados might remember…
