It was one sprinkly day when Samuel Stinemetz decided to waltz into a little shanty town called Stashtenfroin to get out of the rain and wet his whistle. Thirsty he was, and stupendously so, from his walks along the...

I'm Good for a Joke or Two

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 14 Sep 24

I can barely draw a stick man, but I do have a sense of humor, albeit sometimes a bit of a warped one. I am not a huge fan of AI, but it is fun to have it make me a picture that I can caption with one of my weird ideas. And I...

Do You ever Talk to your Cat?

Jo Ann @akalinus (44366) • United States 26 Aug 24

Izzy the cat was sitting on top of the couch back. I stopped to talk to her. I touched her nose and said this is your nose. Then I did the same with her ears, mouth, back, and tail. She gave me a look, jumped down, and ran—poor...

Superb Owl

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 7 Feb 21

I hear there is a viewing event of the Superb Owl on TV today! I had no idea that bird watching was so popular, but even the grocery stores are selling food and beverages intended for people to consume while watching the Superb...

Why Can't We Open The Economy?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 15 Apr 20

Let us take a moment to come down "reality lane" here a bit if we shall. I can go to the grocery store and hoard my eggs and my bread. I can go to Walmart and hoard my toilet paper. They now form lines outside the stores and...

The Games We Play

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 8 Aug 19

Sometimes at work you just have to lighten things up a little bit. Not that we don't have our share of games we play all day long at work (we're guys you know). But still, sometimes breaking down some of the 'serious' is...

Kibitz

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 1 Feb 19

I love the English language. Don't you? It is so diverse and interesting. The definition of 'kibitz' is "to watch other people and make unwanted comments about what they are doing." Now that's the kind of job I want. Not in a...

Who the heck are the "black Hebrew Israelites"? And how are they involved in the "spoiled white Catholic kid" v. "Native American Vietnam veteran" standoff?

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Jan 19

I can't believe anything I read or hear any more. Did Donald Trump really consider inviting the Catholic kids who harassed a Native American Vietnam Veteran to the White House? But wait! Did Barak Obama really invite the...

"I am sorry. We are not allowed to reveal that information."

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Nov 18

I just got off the phone with a representative from "CalWorks," which handles medical insurance for Californians when we're between jobs. It turns out I had overpaid my premium, and I wanted to make sure my refund was on its...

People Are Strange Sometimes

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 2 Sep 18

His window faced the rusted metal building that had seen better days. It wouldn't take much to clean the building out and re-purpose it, and so, for whatever reason, he did. It only took a few hours with the help of a friend,...

Wacky gig this evening--wish me luck!

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Mar 18

I just got home from work and am off to play a wacky "St. Patrick's Day" gig at a local golf course. I'll explain why it's "wacky" later. I gotta bolt. This is with the "Country" band led by a former lawyer and opera singer who...

counting bears with garlic salt for dinner

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 25 Feb 18

I mentioned this a bit on Facebook yesterday, but thought it would be fun to share with everyone here. My son was playing in the kitchen while another adult was doing some cleaning in there. While her back was turned, he dumped...

Is this a joke?

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Feb 18

I don't know how I wound up with this ad on my screen, but it appears for be for a clothing store that sells t-shirts for over $40, "pre-ripped" jeans for over $100 and Really Ugly Belts for around $150. Is this for real? Or have...

Did anybody actually watch the Super Bowl yesterday?

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Feb 18

To me, the Super Bowl represents everything that's vulgar about America. But it's an important game if you're an American football fan. I went hiking yesterday on a trail I hadn't been on before (got to pet some horses) and then...

Why this photo will never appear on Facebook

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Dec 17

Facebook is weird. Some people publish false political memes without giving much thought to them. Some people post photos that show how much more fun they're having than you are. Some post about what they just ate. Some post about...

Cartoons Make Me Smiles

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 26 Sep 16

Yes, I still like to watch cartoons once in a while. I go to the cable channels Boom or Toon that still have the old ones on occasionally and enjoy watching their silly antics. My favorites are Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian,...

Trouble in music paradise

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 22 May 16

I play in two bands regularly. One is a straight Country band, and the other is a Western Swing band. I consider the Western Swing band to be more interesting than the straight Country band. But there are problems: the leader of...
