Vegetarians can joke about throwing monkeys into woodchippers and get away with it.

About Me

I enjoy ghost riding, dipping in my scraper, and disc golf.

My Interests

In the event of a natural distaster, social upheaval, peak oil, revolution, etc, know that I am an easy target.

I'd like to meet:

I know a guy who said when he made eye contact with the Dalai Lama, his whole body felt a jolt. If you can do that, then I will meet you instead.

Music:

I do a daily radio show on KHUM. If it's a weekday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM you can listen live.
KSLG, I also like.

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, Shaft, Schizopolis, American Beauty.

Television:

We are in the golden age of TV. I am serious.

Books:

Almost strictly non-fiction. Which wins you no friends, if you ever think about going down that road. Seriously. No matter how much you say that it's not a statement or anything, they will still judge you. So don't let it bother you, because clearly, you know, I don't let it bother me. It's so obvious.That said, I just built a bookshelf and put all the Civil War books as well as the travel guides on it.

I read your blog

I just read, like, six or seven really well-written blog posts in a row.  One was best-of-Craigslist funny.  One was TMI.  But they were all enriching, insightful, and bereft of all the...

TV on the Radio: this is not a backlash

This is not a band that I like or dislike in any way.  I'm not a fan, but their music seems decent.  Better than average, in fact.  BUT.  They get under my skin.   Everybody e...

Not a cat person

I was, at one point, a cat person.  There was room in my dog person for another species, and for a long time cats were the only option.  Three cats and a dog in this house, and tonight I'm f...

Here are some things I've learned lately:   1.  When you steam-clean your rug, do it at least twice.  That water will come out just as chocolate-brown as on the first pass.2. ...
