Robert, over at Blackfork, is commemorating the current anniversary of the Battle of The Alamo in 1836 by blogging the events of each day as they occurred, based on the best historical evidence. So far he’s done four days, and he’s bringing the siege to life for me in a way that I find very… Continue reading The Alamo, day by day

As Lawdog would say – *Gigglesnort!*
While checking my Sitemeter statistics a while back, I noticed a blog I didn’t know, The Lost Goat, that had linked to mine. (It’s now been added to my Reciprocal Blogroll.) Curious, I took a look – and snorted my morning tea through my nostrils as I read one entry. Here’s a short excerpt: My… Continue reading As Lawdog would say – *Gigglesnort!*

A happy gathering
This afternoon and evening was spent in the company of a merry band of rogues fellow bloggers. Over a dozen gathered chez Phlegm, with plenty of good food and equally good fellowship. Needless to say, one of the kitchen counters had to be cleared to accommodate a very large collection of handguns and knives for… Continue reading A happy gathering
Oh, the snark!
The redoubtable and ever-brilliant Iowahawk has done it again. He takes the allegedly proverb-illustrating Kenyan statue President Obama keeps on his desk, and runs the metaphor ragged! A few examples of his take on proverbial wisdom around the world: “If you want to travel fast, travel alone. If you want to travel far, travel together.… Continue reading Oh, the snark!
On the road – comments will be delayed
I’m heading for Dallas today (Friday) to join in a blogmeet at the lovely Phlegm‘s place. A bunch of us will be getting together tomorrow to sort out the problems of the world (as usual). As a result, I won’t be able to edit and moderate comments on the road. Please feel free to post… Continue reading On the road – comments will be delayed
Too much information!
Courtesy of Tamara, we learn of an hilarious video posted on The Pointy Pen. It shows a Japanese language lesson – like I’ve never seen or heard before! Click on the link and go watch it. As my buddy Lawdog would say, “There is a Class 3 Beverage Alert in effect.” Peter
Thanks, Atomic Nerds!
A neighbor returned from a short Christmas vacation today, and this afternoon came over bearing a large cardboard box. It seems it was addressed to me, but the Big Brown Truck of Happiness dropped it at his house instead, probably a day or two before Christmas. Fortunately, they left it on a table in his… Continue reading Thanks, Atomic Nerds!
I’ve been tagged – but there’s no way!

Take a picture of yourself.. riiiiiight.. NOW!2. DO NOT change your clothes. DO NOT fix your hair.. Just take a picture.3. Post that… Continue reading I’ve been tagged – but there’s no way!
Congratulations to Iowahawk!
One of my favorite Web satirists, Iowahawk, has just celebrated five years of snark, sarcasm and biting wit. His (not nearly frequent enough for my tastes) posts have skewered politicians, public figures and sacred cows with riotous results. He’s celebrating by offering himself as a Senate candidate for Illinois, to fill the seat of President-elect… Continue reading Congratulations to Iowahawk!
