Happy Halloween. Don’t wind up like this guy:Oh, and be mindful of the kids that are out trick-or-treating. They should be allowed their fun without being bothered by you and your hooligan friends and your eggs, toilet paper, flaming fudge bags, ...

Happy Birthday to Carrie Fisher, best known as Princess Leia Organa from the first three Star Wars movies (not coincidentally, also the only three remotely worth seeing). This shot comes from Return of the Jedi, the third of the original three. Of tho...

The L’il-est Johann and I just finished watching the movie Cars.
Again.
Cars just may be the best “children”’s movie ever made. Every kid loves it and it’s one of those movies that adults pick up something new every time th...

The Bob and Tom Show apparently has a theme for this week of:
“An asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, imminently to cause complete and total annihilation of the planet and everything on it. You have 60 minutes until the end of the world. What do yo...

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s Friday, so we know what that means:
Gentlemen, put on your pink and piss off Katherine Thomas.
Who!
I don’t know who she is, but she’s some broad fine, fine individual in town who wrote in ...

All right, Cub fans… bring it on- what’s the excuse this time for the fine, fine fashion in which the Cubs once again choked (albeit much later than normal)

Good Saturday to all four of you that read this blog. I’m coming to you live from the beautiful Westport Sheraton Chalet hotel in St. Louis. Well, I think we may actually be in Maryland Heights (an old stomping ground of mine from the younger days...

I don’t really watch that much TV.
Don’t get me wrong, the TV is on almost every waking moment in my house, but I don’t really watch it that much. Usually, the little Johanns are watching Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody,...

Mainly butchered by me, admittedly.
CARAMEL: Yeah, yeah, I know it’s “properly” pronounced “care-a-mell” (or sometimes “care-a-mell“, by the über-snotty), but I pronounce it “car-mull”, and since I ru...

I’m a horrible father.
Yesterday, the oldest little Johann had eye surgery. He had his strabismus muscle (strabismus, stromboli, whatever the hell it’s called) reattached in a different spot on his eye so that his eyes would work together cor...

I love baseball. Always have. I haven’t always been real pleased with some of the happenings (the strike in ‘94, the apparently now required retaliatory beanballs, that whole steroid thing…) but on the whole, I love baseball.
However, ...

Today’s edition of HBWW apparently has a theme: apostrophes. But it also has to do with homophones. Or are they homonyms…! I can’t ever remember which is which; all I know is that there are a lot of people that don’t know when ...

To continue on with my new feature, we venture into the world of sports.
When I was a kid, I never understood why athletes were portrayed as (and thought of as) stupid. As I got older, it was pretty easy to figure out. Many of them are stupid. If they&...

Yeah, I changed my layout again.
Hey, I had a shit night at work tonight (is there really any other kind!) and needed to burn off some aggression, so instead of taking it out on the neighborhood cats like I usually do, I decided to go all Dr. 90210 on th...

Today starts a new feature that may or may not become a regularly occurring item; it just depends on how often I hear people- especially the self-appointed wordsmiths in the broadcast and print media- absolutely sodomize the English language.
I realize En...

I don’t really post all that regularly to JDAB- mainly because my SofIL work schedule sucks ass with a loud slurping noise. I don’t get to post nearly as often as I’d like, but with the posts I do make, I usually try to make some sort of...

According to the Worldwide Leader, Michael Vick will plead guilty to federal dogfighting charges next Monday the 27th.
Since he is a celebrity and has lots of money–some of which he made from said dogfighting–he’ll likely wind up with n...

In less than two months since its 1000th hit, JDAB racked up its 2000th hit a day or two ago.
Everyone that has ever visited here rocks! Even all the spammers from Greece that JDAB seems to attract. I realize spammers skew the numbers of actual “le...

Commenters on SJ-R.com these last couple weeks are really getting “out there” with their remarks.
The main “arguments” seem to be:Hot Rod is to blame for the budget mess and needs to be removed from office (this is true and cannot ...
