Why Housework is Like an STD

Posted on: Monday, February 25th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

So, I’ve been sickly and wussy with a weak flu this weekend.  Cathy’s done most of the housework.  Just now as I walked into the kitchen, she said to me:
Kitty: Sometimes you just can’t keep it cleaned up, you know, it’s just like syphilus.
Me: …!?
Kitty:  You know.  The guy with the rock.
Me:  …?
Kitty:  Oh yeah, […]

KPLU Jazz Train 2008

Posted on: Friday, February 15th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

Cathy and I are doing the first weekend of the Portland Jazz Festival via the KPLU Jazz Train this weekend.  It’s kind of a birthday thing, and kind of a recoup of last year, in which I also spent my birthday weekend in Portland.  We stumbled into several nice venues but found most of the […]

The Allusion Market

Kudos to Chris (aka the Caffeinated Gypsy, aka the Texting Terror of DC) for recognizing today’s obscure cultural reference. Or at least, I thought it was obscure — perhaps I am so thoroughly immersed in popular culture that I would not know obscurity if it struck me at an oblique angle and lodged itself […]

Ultra WTF Wombat

Given the right caption, I’m sure this image would beat Mr. Castle’s BBQ craving Ultra LOL Cat. It might even eat it for lunch.  I’m not sure what that caption might be, but for some reason “Run, Forest, Run!” keeps coming to mind. I blame Thomas Pratt, Esquire, for his bad influence […]

Inadequate Pipes, Manpower Candy, and Metaphor Abuse

Posted on: Thursday, February 7th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

It turns out that Michael Dodd has an inadequate pipe. At least he has a plan to rectify the situation. After spending most of a week in the spam cesspit unleashed by our recent transition to Lanham’s exchange servers, one can see how he might have come by this idea honestly — my […]

Things I Have Learned

Posted on: Monday, February 4th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

This will not be an exhaustive list, mind you. However, there will be an exam.
These are things I have learned recently:

Terry Kaye (whose malapropisms deserve more than the singular blog post I have devoted to them) has a dirty mind. While I was in Lanham the week before last, she IM’d me to […]

Aftermath

Posted on: Monday, February 4th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

So, I’ve been trying to make myself blog all week long.  There hain’t been no shortage of things to blog about — lots of really good and interesting things, and one or two really, really terrible things, have all occurred within a remarkably brief span of time.  Somehow, the thought of trying to summarize them […]
