Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante

Nuts. “As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are... Continue Reading →
Heard today: What do you call Santa’s little helpers? Subordinate clauses. Now here is some random stuff from Amazon, Costco (shoutout to Charlie Munger and his Munger Tolles homies in LA), Bloomberg, and elsewhere. Enjoy! It’s amazing the stuff you can get on Amazon. Well sparky, I’m off to pound the Friday night pud. Speaking... Continue Reading →
Quick one today but hopefully some good songs for you: the first is Better Days by Citizen King. Nice little 90s throwback there. The next is Cleopatra by The Lumineers. A good one. The next one is Good Day for Living by Joe Nichols. Finally, the last song is This Afternoon by Nickelback. I know,... Continue Reading →

Some random stuff for your amusement: Who here likes ghost towns? One of the neatest I have visited – long ago in my salad days – is St. Elmo, Colorado. Very pretty drive through steep canyons (take route 292 from 285 in the east) and the town is super cute. Photo from the Wikipedia article... Continue Reading →
Here's an article that may appeal to those men of you with face decorations. I've always known this to be true but now we have science on our side! Also, is there anyone less trustworthy than the "beautician" at the Macy's makeup station? No, there isn't. Why Salesmen Should Consider Growing Beards A researcher looked... Continue Reading →
whatupwheremyWASPsattttttt?!?! Some quick and dirty today so let's get crackin': Ever wonder what doing acid/LSD is like? I wouldn't know. But what I can tell you is that this video titled "LSD Trip Simulation Replication" on YouTube 100% nails the visual experience. From what I hear. Have you ever wanted to spend an hour watching...

Some random stuff/trivia for your day: Meet Verona Rupes. Verona Rupes is a cliff on Miranda, a moon of Uranus. The cliff face is estimated to be 12 miles high, which makes it the tallest known cliff in the Solar System. Given Miranda's low gravity, it would take about 12 minutes to fall from the...
