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...

Big topic on the message boards from yesterday’s paper was apparently motorcycles. Motorcycle operators say cars don’t watch out for them enough. Car drivers say motorcyclists drive like crap. That’s somewhat true but also a tad hypoc...

This is quite possibly the funniest dance video I’ve ever seen. Big ups to my mom for sending me the link.

Happy 45th Birthday today to one of my favorite comedians, Mike Myers.He’s one of my favorites because he’s simply a funny guy. He makes me laugh even when just giving interviews. “So I Married an Axe Murderer” was SUCH an underr...

So… SPD does chase wanted criminals into rich west-side whitey churches.
Told you so.
Churches are not safe-havens for wanted criminals, folks. You can’t go violating your parole on a weapons violation (in this douchebag’s case) and the...

I mentioned Jane Seymour in my previous post, in reference to really, REALLY hot women of, how shall we say, advanced age.
Therefore, I felt the need to be so self-serving as to post a picture of her, proving just how gorgeous she really is at age 57.

Happy 62nd Birthday today to a former charter member of my “Celebrities That Are Hot” club, Cherliyn Sarkisian- better known as Cher.
I say “former” because she used to be absolutely gorgeous. In the 70s when she burst on to the s...

Big front page article in the paper this morning talking about how The People have spoken, bestowing upon the intersection of Hedley and White Oaks West the dubious distinction of Springfield’s Worst Intersection. It beat out such hopefuls as Lawr...

I wonder now if maybe I should have gone to “Movin’ Out” at Sangamon State last night. I’ve always been a big fan of Billy Joel’s music, but as a rule, I’m just not much for musicals, rock ballets, whatever you want to...
