Recent conversation with Brenda:

Brenda: (Looking through mailer) Would you like to go to Floyd's Barbecue?

me: Why would I want that?

Brenda: We could get $5.00 off any cut.

me: Any cut of what? (Looking at flyer for Floyd's Barbershop not Barbecue)

me: (Seeing picture of barber holding razor poised over a man's cheek) Looks like you can pick your own meat.

Brenda: Oh my God I need new glasses.

Even Action Jeans Can't Help These Guys

Kung Fu movie auditions of martial art knuckleheads. The face falling guy with the nunchakus remains my favorite but the first guy is a close second. He knocks over a dummy that's not moving and in his own mind is a karate champion. Go »

Tale Of The Mediocre Football Fan

Last Thursday, Brenda and I went to the final preseason football game of the Washington Redskins. The game was less than meaningful (as is the nature of preseason football) because rarely do actual starters play in the final preseason game. But the tickets and parking were free (gift from a friend), and it gave Brenda and I an opportunity to have an evening for just the two of us, a rarity for most parents. Go »
