sorry - I don't post many of these of late, and while I rag on my girl for her amazing organizational skills, in particular, her obsessive (by my bayrat - use the sunrise and sunset method) attention to her calendar, this came in an e-mail from an old Advocate reader and frequent contributor, David Yzaguirre, by way of my pal the Grey-Beard Loon.....After I quit laughing, I felt it my duty to share........
Aw, man.....that's just too sad and too funny. So now we know what REALLY happened.
My alternate at work (the other 7 night shift lab rat) gives me some kind of interesting day-by-day calendar every Christmas. The first year, it was a "Far Side", and I was guaranteed a laugh every day for a year. Whether it's a word-a-day or a puzzle-a-day calendar, she always seems to know my style. Love her for that!
Poor dinos. Just last night I was thumbing through a Reminisce mag and saw reference to "Alley Oop" and the Little Big Books. He was the king of the Jungle Jive, you know. Look at that cave man go! Like, hip, daddy-o.
Hey, you need to thank RUKIDDINGME for that kick-ass job she did on finally delivering the fatal blow to Little j. Little J wrote on her wall and he didn't keep his true feelings in check and WHAMMO that ban button got pushed.
Pain in many forms

painful; in fact I was worried that would scream, yelp or make lots of
noise. So, t...

Born on the bayou where Texas and Louisiana meet on the Gulf Coast. A kid in the '50s, so my heroes were Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison. Raised in a fishing village, ...Adrift, I grew up on boats and made my money as a kid the way kids in the '50s and '60s did - cutting lawns, throwing a paper and bagging groceries until I was big enough to work on a shrimpboat. Best job I ever had was piloting a ten ton crew boat, worst was probably chopping cotton. I have stood atop Mayan pyramids deep in the Yucatan jungles, and on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. I am equally at home at a musical on Broadway, or a honky tonk full of shrimpers and tug boat hands. The best ten years of my life were spent in the '70s in Austin, Texas. The last thirty have been spent in the far western 'burbs of Houston working as a petro gypsy in the engineering business. I have had my share of adventures, several of which I probably shouldn't have survived. I am at age 58, the proud father of twelve and fourteen year old sons, so... Onward through the fog!
