    Clean Jokes

    Police officer arrives at the scene of a domestic disturbance. He calls in on the radio to his boss: Officer: "There's a woman here who just shot her husband for walking on the floor she'd just mopped" Boss: "Did you arrest her?" Officer: "Not yet" Boss: "Well, why not?" Officer: "The...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I would pay political fundraiser prices to attend this event. Talk about swank! I'm HudsonHawk, and I approve this Fig Newton party!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Ice cream is another product that has seen a sneaky decrease in packaging size. Ice cream used to be sold in half-gallon cartons, a full 64 fluid ounces. Packaging has shrunk to a standard 48 ounce carton, but the consumer still associates that with the old "half-gallon". Blue Bell Ice Cream...

    My objection to wearing a hat at the table has zero to do with how one looks or thinks he looks.

    Of course, in the South, Moonpies were the snack cake of choice. On a side note, I saw a Goo Goo Cluster in the Tractor Supply the other day, and my wife had never seen or heard of them. I had to buy one because I hadn't had one in like 40 years. It was smaller than I remembered. Not sure if...

    We have a local restaurant, which has now turned into a local franchise chain, called "Frenchy's", which blows Popeye's away, IMHO. And I am not a fan of Cajun or Creole food, in general. They have other things besides chicken...jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, etc, but they are most...

    You Know You Live in a Small(ish) Town When...

    And the DNA test doesn't prove that your ancestors were from Africa, it simply means that you and some other people in Africa share common ancestral DNA. It's a database comparison. Given that Europeans also colonized much of Africa, this is common and not surprising. It could be that your...

    Actually, the Scots call it "whisky". Otherwise, they might be mistaken for the Irish. Then all hell would break loose.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    Here, we can go down to the dock and buy them straight off the boat. Reputable fish mongers have them too that they went down and bought off the boat that morning. I realize that's not possible if you live in South Dakota, however.

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    Around here it's a big deal to make sure you get fresh, wild-caught shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, not farm raised in Vietnam and previously frozen. The taste difference is pronounced. And I won't eat tilapia either. First of all, I know how they live and where they come from. Secondly...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    It's said that the ability to keep a conspiracy from the public is inversely proportional to the number of people involved and the time that passes. The Titanic conspiracy would require the silencing of thousands of people who had nothing to gain for over 100 years. By that logic alone, it's...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Lots of people have looked into this conspiracy theory, and pretty much all legitimate researchers have debunked it. But like most conspiracy theories, the notion persists in the imagination of the public.

    Cowboy Boots

    Didn't see it elsewhere, but it's been a big deal around these parts this week...legendary Texas boot maker Rocky Carroll died last week at age 79. Carroll made custom boots for everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to U.S. Presidents to Queen Elizabeth II, along with thousands of regular folks in...

    The Real Reason Malls Are Closing

    Along those same lines, downtown Houston has a large underground tunnel network connecting buildings. Within the tunnels are shops and restaurants that form a sort of mall, I guess you could say.

    You think that's bad, the Bahasa word for water is "air".

    Small rewards?

    This would not work for St. Louis, but if I want to feel like a million bucks for a just a few, I go get a professional shave. There's just something about that clean feeling and I don't know, maybe pampering, that makes you feel great. I would guess getting your hair done at a nice place like...

    Iconic Abstractions of The Era

    Not necessarily the Era, but you really don't see many of these around anymore: They are getting less and less common, as it's becoming more and more understood that smoking is prohibited. There will come a day when no one remembers being able to smoke in public. I was talking to a couple...

    Would you settle for the generic "electric guitar" and guys like Charlie Christian?

    You know you are getting old when:

    Here in TX, you can renew online every other time it expires, but have to get a new picture taken and pass the eye exam on the other times. So every 14 years you have to go to the DPS office and stand in line for a mug shot. Play your cards right, and you get a photo at 18, 32, 46, 60 and 74...
