The Monkey Exhibit

I guess I’m not so much going to review this CD as I am going to make a comparison…a good comparison, in my mind.
Jeremy Camp’s CD, Beyond Measure, reminds me a lot of Dishwalla, circa Pet Your Friends or maybe And You Think You Know What Life’s About though I don’t remember that CD very [...]

The Maine Turnpike began a new program this summer where they handed out fliers titled “Welcome to Vacationland.” These fliers will be handed out to all cars with license plates from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.
The fliers state the following rules for visiting Maine:
1. That slope-shouldered farm boy you are snickering at [...]

Here’s a no-brainer post, and a good way to get back into the Project of the Week.
This week’s goal is to set up the new computer. That means add the software I want it to have and delete the software I don’t. It’s already up and running and has Firefox installed (I’m posting [...]

Little girl. Little GIRL! Don’t stick your fingers in that. You don’t know where it’s been. OK, I guess you do [...]

Eric asked me if I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I wasn’t, but I did think I might have been born with a sarcastic retort in my mouth. He said that would make me British. To be from the USA, I figured that I had to be born [...]

Something Is Missing
Something is missing
A void I can’t bear.
Something is missing
‘Cause you are not there.
I took you for granted
With hardly a care.

Something quite rare.
I can but look back
To times less forlorn.
Joyous those days
We alone did adorn.
Hours before these,
Ones I now mourn,
From whence my presence
So quickly was torn.
How can so few feet

“Is that a monkey on a motorcycle in the rearview mirror? He’s pulling me over! I’m being pulled over on the highway by a monkey!”
“Good morning, sir. Are you carrying any bananas in the vehicle?”
“Bananas?”
“Yes, that is correct. Bananas.”

The Police Department is looking to add a human to its all-monkey SWAT team.

Truebellow is spearheading the department’s request to [...]
