It’s World Ampersand Day, and that’s reason enough to write about r&om things. (Get it?)

Random Thursday: The Not-About-Me Edition
Well, hey there, good L-double O-k-i-n-g*…welcome to another edition of RT. I figured that after last week’s blatant ploy to garner sympathy (which, you must admit, is something genetically hard-wired into the male DNA), we should shift back into something more light-hearted, if not intellectual. But first…today is National No Rhyme Nor Reason Day —… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Not-About-Me Edition
Random Thursday: The Heterotroph Edition
Well, hello again…fancy seeing you here. As you no doubt are aware, today is National Dog Day and if that doesn’t put a smile on your face, I can only assume that you laughed inappropriately when you were handed a business card by an eminently qualified woman and saw that her title was “Webmistress,” and… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Heterotroph Edition
Random Thursday: The Home Improvement Edition (Pt. 2)
¡Feliz jueves, amigos! ¡Hoy es el día nacional de fajita y la vida es muy buena…especialmente si tiene las fajitas! So, last week I spent some time describing a couple of DIY projects in our garage. I now can’t remember exactly why I thought I should do that, but I guess it seemed like a… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Home Improvement Edition (Pt. 2)

Howdy, y’all. Today is the 28th day of July — at least here in Texas, USA, Earth — and thus it’s National Chili Dog Day AND National Milk Chocolate Day, and the only way it could get any better is if the Gazette’s small army of interns would rush out and bring me back a… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday: The Memeish Edition
In my previous post I alluded to some health challenges that accompanied my entry into septuagenarianism. I was deliberately coy about the nature of those situations, mainly because I fully intended to use them as an excuse for this precise moment. But, in the interests of full transparency, I doubled down on a urinary tract… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Memeish Edition
R.T.T.F.E.
I’m too lazy to type “Random Thursday — The Friday Edition”…or am I? It’s been a while since we’ve done a Wandering The Web post, so this will ultimately turn into one, but first — some local weather-related updates. Five days ago, as alert Gazette readers no doubt recall, I informed the world that Pecan… Continue reading R.T.T.F.E.
Random Thursday: The “Words Are Fun” Edition
There once was a girl from a drag stripWhose ragtop was loathe to upshiftBut her bench seat was mind-bendingAnd her lap belt anti-stickingSo her capri pants were prone to a downtick. I suppose you’ve guessed that today is National Limerick Day. And I’m quite confident that my original composition will never make the limerick hall… Continue reading Random Thursday: The “Words Are Fun” Edition
Random Thursday: Remembrances of Futures Past
Howdy, y’all. I see that it’s been awhile since there was anything new on this blog-like thing, and you can either thank me or accept my apology, depending on your perspective. Anyway, today is National Great Poetry Reading Day, and in recognition of this hallowed event, I present the following in honor of Joyce Kilmer,… Continue reading Random Thursday: Remembrances of Futures Past

Hola, amigos. Today is International Laverbread Day; choose your carbs wisely. It’s also National Ex-Spouse Day, a day in which you can either make nice with your ex, or, in the alternative, treat them to some delicious laverbread. But enough about algae-based foodstuffs. We’ve got some really meaty topics to cover today. Don’t Be This… Continue reading Random Thursday
