OK, well…it seems that family isn’t quite as time-demanding as I expected, and so I’m able to turn my attention to [at least] one more post. This is another highly-anticipated music-related quiz, and I expect it to take at least a week for someone to solve. This quiz was actually conceived during an exchange of… Continue reading The ULTIMATE Music Challenge

That explains why the lifts aren’t running…
The forecast is for poor skiing conditions in Midland, Texas. And Generalissimo Franco is still dead.
White Paper: A New Level of Hell
Memo to the Prince of Darkness: Dear Mr. Pod, I would like to propose the immediate implementation of a new level of Hell, if you can find the space. I believe that this proposal will provide a uniquely awful form of punishment to the deserving offender, and I know that you will be astonished at… Continue reading White Paper: A New Level of Hell
Kerry’s Nuisance Advisory System
In the “gotta laugh to keep from crying” vein, I’m having fun with John Kerry’s interview published in last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. In an amazingly naive statement, Kerry thinks we can go back to a time when terrorism was simply “a nuisance.” Here’s the complete quote (in context, btw, for you Dem spinmeisters… Continue reading Kerry’s Nuisance Advisory System

They can’t… Continue reading Delving the Mysteries of the Dishwasher

I operate a television camera a couple of times each month during one of our Sunday morning worship services (we have three, two of which are televised), and one of our biggest challenges is finding good audience shots during the sermon. Most people will tell you that they are not happy about the idea of… Continue reading Tips for Staying Off Camera at Church
Welcome to the “Lunatic Texans On Skis” Tour
I want to thank you for showing up for this press conference. It’s important that we try to set the record straight, if for no other reason than to staunch the gushing of legal fees. Now, if you’ll permit me, I’d like to make a brief opening statement, and then I’ll take some questions. Ahem…… Continue reading Welcome to the “Lunatic Texans On Skis” Tour
Betrayal
Is there a worse feeling than that which comes from knowing you’ve been betrayed? Your first realization that years of trust and devotion have been for naught brings a dull ache that can’t be easily assuaged, and you wonder if life is really worth the pain, and you wonder if you’ll ever again be able… Continue reading Betrayal
Wrapsody ‘n Blue
The three wise men described in the Bible were married, and I can prove it. See, nothing in Scripture mentions anything about Mary and Joseph expressing cries of horror and disgust at the way the gold, frankincense and myrhh presented to the Christ child were wrapped. That can mean only one thing: the magi let… Continue reading Wrapsody ‘n Blue
