Crossing The Street: Take One Of These

The Bird’s The Word: I Forgot The Bird
The Bird’s The Word The bird’s the word. Sometimes as I’ve gotten older, especially with all the added stress of adulting, I forget the bird. That means that I forget a word from time to time. A word that, much like a bird, flutters off when I approach. A few days back I had such […]
Portmanteau: When Used For Ill, Not Good
Portmanteau A portmanteau is typically a pretty good time. Some can be pretty fun to say and they’re almost always fun to create.

Everybody’s Hugging Everybody. Everybody’s hugging everybody. Champagne and other alcohol fly in every which way. Little pieces of paper descend from the sky.

I Bought A Mouse And Gained A Kindred Spirit Acquaintance: Chad
I Bought A Mouse. I bought a mouse over the weekend. After six years, two of which involved a lot of false double clicks, I pitched my Razer Naga and bought a Logitech M720 A.K.A Triathlon. I realized that I wasn’t so much into gaming mice anymore. While I do play games on my PC, […]
The Toiletfire Continues: 2018 Begins
The Toiletfire Continues The toiletfire that will define 2018 is off to a roaring start! How could it not when 2017 went out in a blaze of glory? Might as well address that we all have the Bon Jovi song in our head at this point and if one doesn’t, then one is broken. Imagine […]
