Lassie

March 05, 2026

Did you know that the TV show Lassie ran for 19 seasons? That dog was older than Mehusiwoof. Also, out of the hundreds of episodes, there was never one where Timmy fell down a well. That's just a joke trope. There was even an episode called "The Well," but no one fell into said well.

Motorboat

February 28, 2026

This is better suited as a daily photo, but my site design is based on the web in 2005, so those pages handle .jpg images and .jpg images only. But in one of last week's baseball games, Jake Brown celebrated a home run by motorboating teammate John Pearson.

Farming Families

February 26, 2026

Families on old times used to be really big. Lack of access to online pornography meant that people had to actually get naked with their partners in order to enjoy the goodies afforded to the opposite sex. Lack of access to birth control meant that every bedroom romp came with some chance to extending one's parenthood journey for an additional eighteen years.

Egg Juror

February 12, 2026

This morning, I listened to the arguements from the South Carolina Supreme court about whether Alex Murdaugh should or shouldn't get a new trial in the case where he was convicted of murdering his wife and son.

Brrr

January 30, 2026

It's just been way too ridiculously cold this week.

Subplot

January 22, 2026

What an exciting national championship game we got to see Monday night. I was almost as fired up for Indiana as I get for LSU, and I was a billion times more sober, so I remember the game better. In addition to the game, I followed a developing story that you might just have missed.

White People Moves

January 07, 2026

If I ever have a time machine, I'm not going to bother trying to kill Adolph Hitler as a baby. I don't even speak German. Instead, I'm going to find the animator who drew this kid and tell them that the future people of 2026 will be using their animation to insult bad dancers. I wonder what the reaction would be.

Driver's Ed and Some Albums I Like

December 20, 2025

A quick story about dropping Ko off at driver's ed this morning (if you can believe that), and a few cool albums for you to hear.

Football Postseason and a Pet Vid

December 19, 2025

It's been a long time since I just put down a full page of thoughts about football. Well, here I do it again. Stick to the end and there's a rewarding video that has nothing to do with football at all.

Smokin' the Morning Drive

December 10, 2025

There is a particular type of charger connection that we have in cars and on the boat. On one recent morning, I explained to Ko why we call that the "cigarette adapter."

Cuteness

December 05, 2025

Two kitties arrived last night, increasing the number of beings in our house with fish breath by at least 18%. (I haven't done the math.) Right now, they're nervous, but also curious to explore.

Big Three-Oh

December 04, 2025

As of a week ago, Mrs. Theskinnyonbenny and I have been married 30 years. How about that! Here's a post about some of what we did.
