A whole bunch of my classmates are turning 50 this year.

I’m not sure how you arrived at that decision, but I wish you all luck with it.  Even if you are getting too old for me.

It’s Fryday.

My breakfast this morning was in the shape of a FedEx delivery driver.  I have no idea why this occurred.

Look at him in his little brimmed cap!

Throwback Thursday: these “nice threads!”

YES, we looked like this — and we looked ****ing AWESOME.  We need to bring this whole style BACK.

My only concern about this meme is that it originates from the 1980’s Memory Lane Facebook page, and I was dressing like this at Mary Washington College in the early 1990’s.  Was I just behind the times?  Maybe that was why people looked at me funny.

But I was big man on campus with these.  I had people literally congratulating me on my pants — and that has not happened once since the 1990’s.

Blockbust.

You want to know how old I am?  I can remember when Blockbuster Video was The Next Big Thing.  It was a monolithic blue titan of a company that was gobbling up mom-and-pop video stores in whatever town it landed in.   Think of Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son.”

Yes … I realize that the meme below is now a bit dated, as today Netflix is infamously suffering its own problems.  It’s still funny, though.

Sweet talk.

Weird things you learn as a writer — the expression “sweeten the kitty” was at one time a synonym for “award.”

We absolutely need to bring that back into common usage.



Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was no exception here, honestly.

The checkout girl gave me Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake bars by accident.

Now I think I’m addicted.

The real irony here is that I haven’t actually been in any good humor for approximately 17 years.

The resemblance is uncanny. Don’t deny it.

I even kinda come across like Forrest Gump.

(But it’s probably a mooooot point.)

When you take a loooooooong Saturday nap and then wake up groggy, apple fritters kinda look like calf brains.

I’m just sayin’.

“Bohemian Catastrophe.”

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Lost by a landside,
So I’ll destroy democracy.
Open your eyes,
Watch the hearings and see,
I’m just a despot, deserving no sympathy,
Cause’s power’s easy come, easy go,
My IQ’s little low,
And way the wind blows doesn’t bode too well for me,
for me …
