Hat Man
Hat Man.
We are all hat men now.
There Stands the Glass
There stands the glass …
That will ease all my pain …
That will settle my brain …
It’s my first one today …
I recorded, as usual, WRDV’s Country Gold Classics, on Friday. I was watching TV, so I kept the volume low.
I played the tape on Saturday morning as I read about another shooting in Philly, murder [...]
Suitcase
“Hello?”
It was Sam’s mom. “Sorry for calling back so quick, but when you were just talking to Sam, were you talking about his upcoming visit?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I was telling him how much fun we were going have.”
“That’s really funny,” she said, “because you know what he’s doing?
“He’s going through the apartment looking for his [...]
Steve versus Mel
This is my dad.
This is Mel Gibson.

The Mayor Speaks, Brendan Rants.

It probably didn’t help that right before going [...]

I love the Comics Curmudgeon’s commenters.
Train Wreck
I have written before of my outrage with the trajectory of the Liz-Paul-Anthony plot in For Better or For Worse, the inherent racism within the strip, and the just plain old bad writing. [Ed: Please visit the links to refresh your memory of these characters. You're going to need it.]
