About Me

The New Decalogue

Have but one God: thy knees were sore
If bent in prayer to three or four.

Adore no images save those
The coinage of thy country shows.

Take not the Name in vain. Direct
Thy swearing unto some effect.

Thy hand from Sunday work be held--
Work not at all unless compelled.

Honor thy parents, and perchance
Their wills thy fortunes may advance.

Kill not--death liberates thy foe
From persecution's constant woe.

Kiss not thy neighbor's wife. Of course
There's no objection to divorce.

To steal were folly, for 'tis plain
In cheating there is greater gain.

Bear not false witness. Shake your head
And say that you have "heard it said."

Who stay to covet ne'er will catch
An opportunity to snatch.

-Ambrose Bierce, 1892

On boozing...

My apologies to all for not being able to make it to Sungod.  I hope you had a good, clean, sober time; if not, I hope you had a few dozen drinks for me. As for myself, I will be killing my ...

I bought a couple of pairs of shoes yesterday.  I abhor buying shoes so I only do it when I absolutely have to, when the soles are so thin I can almost see through them.  When I got home I t...

Climmery Flutes on the Chubbedywock

I have a lot of respect for those with the ability to tap into absurdity.  I find it damn difficult to release myself from the strains of internal consistency sometimes, and I look upon those who...

Driving, or How I Shall Perish

I'm doing a lot of driving these days.  In part because my job requires it, but also becase I've inherited the Los Angeles mindset that any destination further than ten feet away requires a ride ...

Nightmares...

We were in the frozen food aisle looking for Rocky Road.  Personally speaking, I dislike the stuff.  I find it to be way too rich for my pallate--but then again, he's never been one to ...
