Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
Happy Thanksgiving to my pilgrims who made it across the pond - on the good side! ("The Nina, Oh! The Pinta, Oh! The Santa Maria Oh! I'll do you in the bottom while you're drinking Sangriaaaaa!!!") Let me begin by admitting a cruel fact: during the festivities, a friend/new mom arrived with her infant child... Continue Reading →
Annyong and Happy Thanksgiving! Not much to it today so let's get to it: Happy (belated) International Men's Day!!! That's right, YOU MISSED IT!

While I absolutely love these, I'm in hot pursuit of some Nantucket reds with pickles playing pickleball. I'm going to guess that Polo's Chief Design... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the Wikipedia page for "Jesus Christ" has a total of 457 reference citations while the Wikipedia page for "LeBron James" has a total of 408? Oh, and "Pope Francis" has 581, "List of LGBT Firsts by Year" has 258, and "Sexuality in Ancient Rome" has 692. Tough love, Jesus. Those pesky... Continue Reading →
