I try to avoid commenting on politics on this blog. There are more than enough bloggers doing that, and besides, I’m fairly centrist on many issues, so I tend to offend those on both extremes when I point out the follies that both sides perpetrate. However, there are times when I can’t restrain myself. A… Continue reading Oh, the nausea . . .

Are you on the list?
Shamelessly stolen from Indigenous Geek (who’s now added to my Reciprocal Blogroll too): Hmm. I qualify in a few of those categories – and I’m a retired pastor! Methinks those who compiled the categories might want to take a look in the mirror. Have they never over-indulged in alcohol, even once, as a teenager experimenting… Continue reading Are you on the list?
Doofus Of The Day #30
Here’s a tip. When you get the urge to moon something or someone . . . Pick your targets carefully. Utrecht police say a 21-year-old Dutch man is recovering after a “mooning” that went horribly wrong. A police statement says the man and two others had run down a street in Utrecht with their pants… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #30

Who says the Civil War is over?
While researching a property covenant issue for a friend, I ran across the case of Mr. Henry E. Ingram Jr. of South Carolina. This dates back to 2006. It seems that Mr. Ingram had no love for ‘Yankees’. He accordingly imposed covenants upon some land he sold. The property shall never be leased, sold, bequeathed,… Continue reading Who says the Civil War is over?
Retro-Greenpeace???
I can’t help thinking that in caveman times, Greenpeace would have been something of a contradiction in terms. I mean, can you imagine a “Save The Saber-Toothed Tiger” campaign – when your main object in life was to avoid being eaten by the damn things? Be that as it may, Greenpeace went caveman-retro in Brussels… Continue reading Retro-Greenpeace???
2008 Cheese Roll a muddy success
Fans of wacky sports will be delighted to learn that the 2008 Gloucester Cheese Roll went off superbly, despite muddy terrain. Torrential rains over previous days turned the course into a slippery nightmare. On the other hand, injuries were fewer than in previous years, probably thanks to contestants being cushioned by mud. The Cooper’s Hill… Continue reading 2008 Cheese Roll a muddy success
A coffin bar???
And while on the subject of the undead (see the previous post), I’m somewhat at a loss to understand the latest idea to generate tourist traffic in Truskavets, Ukraine. Visitors to the Ukrainian resort town of Truskavets, already renowned for its life-preserving mineral springs, will soon be able to tempt fate by drinking in the… Continue reading A coffin bar???
Annual ‘zombie walk’???
I note with some trepidation that the city of Brisbane, Australia, has just held its annual Zombie walk. More than 1500 people gathered at Roma Street Parklands adorned in costumes ranging from undead pirates to slaughtered nurses and even a deathly bride or two. This year’s walk, the third to be held in Brisbane, is… Continue reading Annual ‘zombie walk’???
Operation Fruitcake
I’m told that fruitcake is one of the least desirable gifts. I don’t know about this. My Mom had an absolutely delicious recipe for fruitcake, which she’d frequently make for the family. To add to the flavor, she’d sometimes wrap the cakes in foil, soak them with half a bottle of Guinness, and let them… Continue reading Operation Fruitcake
