On my way home, I lost my way once again, this time ending up on a road to nowhere with signs along the way that said, “Matrax.” At one point, I passed a lone shack with two men in front having a conversation, or so I thought . . . I THINK, THEREFORE I AM… Continue reading

Talking to the dead has never been easier . . .
When You’re RosettaStoned. (with THC Tombstone Technology) Do you pay hundreds of dollars for just a two-minute dialog with an expired relative (always check the date of sale)?

Blogging: Connecting to Readers via a T1 Line to the Heart.
Image by mcclouds via Flickr THE HUMAN ELEMENT. I had to get this off my sagging chest by writing this, shall I say, wireless blog post, that, hopefully, like a wireless bra, will be both uplifting and supportive, without any annoying restrictions – a way to raise the consciousness, as it were. One day,… Continue reading

With plastic bag in hand, I move out and quickly spot… Continue reading

Image by mroach via Flickr No food for thought oozing through the feeding tube. I apologize for the lack of posts lately and visits to your blogs.

Brain Deficit.
It’s like the federal deficit, except you’re not paying for my stupidity . . . yet.
The Wizard of Glob: A Tasteless Parody of a Timeless Classic.
Image via Wikipedia WE’RE OFF TO FIND THE BUTTER. Recently, I stopped at a b-rated supermarket where the food and aisles have been downsized to accommodate a few average-sized shoppers and carts at a time, in addition to a menagerie of Munchkins. You know, snotty-nosed knee-knockers wielding mini-shopping carts like weapons. Passing through the automatic… Continue reading
Office Noir: Secretaria Dim Wittus
Shallow End of the Office A recycled and revised post from May 2009 Warning: For those with short attention spans, listen to the fake person reading the post (by clicking on the “listen now” icon) while doing something else, like having a life. Secretaria stared at her “to-do” list until the words grew hazy…. Continue reading
