I realize I bitch about people and things a lot, usually without just provocation. And I realize how it makes me look. But I gotta say that, every once in a great while, even I can say something positive.
Read this and then this and you’ll realize...

Sorry, SJ-R, for stealing a potential headline. I know how you guys like your cheesy puns.
I don’t really understand the hubbub about the deal with Michelle Wie being disqualified from the Rail Panther Creek Charity Golf Classic tournament this pas...

Okay, today’s dumb-ass of the day is SJ-R.com commenter Bob Judd of Chatham. Don’t blame me; he chose to use {what I assume is} his real name.
This article, thankfully brought to my attention by Mr. Cacciatore as I somehow missed it in the ac...

Some news stories make no sense.
Whether the actual content itself or the uncertainty of why something is actually given enough credit to be called “news”, certain stories can really kind of baffle the mind. Some examples from the SJ-R:Chatha...

Just a few things with which I came away from last night’s All-Star Game:
I loved seeing some of the Hall of Famers, but holy crap, could that pre-game show have taken ANY longer!
Though still a great throw by Itchy, Albert Pujols was clearly safe ...

Okay, back to my normal (i.e. cynical and snarky) ways.
There has been much recent local and national debate regarding dogs (pit bulls, specifically) in the wake of several attacks on children, mail carriers, etc.
On one hand, I agree with the “it&#...

Last night was the unofficial Springfield Bloggers Night at the Sliders game, as you all know from my having written about nothing besides that for two and a half weeks. Shoo did a terrific job of plugging the event, and seemed to be getting a few more p...

We’ve finally reached the day for Springfield Bloggers Night at the Sliders game!!
Looks like Shoo’s been trying to drum up some more attendees, and seems to be having some success!
As I mentioned at Shoo’s blog, there is still a small p...

In case anyone missed it, yesterday was Independence Day. Happy 232nd Birthday, America!
Mrs. Johann, the little Johanns, and I decided to go downtown for the Capitol fireworks last night. I don’t mean to sound… I dunno… cynical (reall...

Okay, now that it looks like we’re all set for next Sunday’s Sliders game, I have kind of a dumb question:
How are we actually getting together, i.e., meeting
With the exception of Nick, I don’t actually “know” any of you. ...

It appears as though the six of you out there who read my blog (or at least those that have taken the time to post their opinions) have decided to partake in a Springfield Sliders game on Sunday, July 13.
Therefore, July 13th’s game against… u...

Okay, Springfield bloggers- or at least you half-dozen or so that responded to my first post about it- the interest is apparently there for us to meet for a Sliders game.
Now we need to decide when.
As I stated in the last post, July was the overwhelming ...

There appears to be at least some small measure of interest in an unofficial Springfield Bloggers night at a Sliders game. I’m not necessarily spearheading the effort to coordinate this, but I’m just going to throw the home games dates out th...

Last night the eldest l’il Johann and I went to the Springfield Sliders game.
I know I’ve posted before about going out and supporting the team, but you’re going to sit through it again.
Folks, just suck it up and go. I decided I’...

… to my dad and any and all fathers of any sort out there. Allow me to take today as a respite from my usual litany of cynicism and random ragging.
Yeah, right. Like THAT’D ever happen.
Days like Father’s Day are the reason for {at lea...

Once again, it’s time for my time-honored tradition of ripping apart one of the many writers of dumb-assed letters-to-the-SJR-editor. Today’s lucky winner is Mike Locke of Springfield. He bitch-eth thusly:
Fireworks not in harmony with festi...

About a month ago, Just Two Guys did a poll asking for the Springfield blog scene’s choice of Coolest Blogger(s). John and Micah acknowledged that, due to there being so many good area bloggers, it can be hard to choose one in spite of another, so ...

So, my darlings, have you seen or heard about THIS little friggin’ gem yet!
Give me a mudderfuggin’ break. I mean, I guess I can’t really hold too much against Dunkin Donuts for caving so quickly, since they actually were being smart by...

It absolutely cracks me up how often people “walk right in to it” and don’t even know it.
People absolutely have the right to complain. Even those that don’t know how to conduct an argument (i.e., discussion) have the right to com...
