Trick or Treat!?
Folks, I’m sorry to say this, but I won’t be going out for Halloween this year. I fear I must now apologize to all the elderly people I have frightened. At first it seemed like a harmless prank, donning a … Continue reading

Zombies: Brains
Halloween is approaching and, while I should be shunning anything to do with the pagan holiday*, my mind instead turns to ruminate upon zombies. Zombies are dim-witted and sluggish, yet tenacious in their singular endeavor: to devour your brain. Why? … Continue reading

Second Exam–Graded
This morning I was handed my second exam back. The grade on the upper right was an 86. I said I was hopeful for a B, but this was great. The teacher said that the grades ranged from high 80s … Continue reading

Hobbit on the Rocks
The original lyrics: Toad the Wet Sprocket‘s “Hobbit on the Rocks“. Admittedly, that was the silliest song that Toad ever recorded. Since I like my song to have meaning, I decided to take their song and make my own lyrics. … Continue reading

UMaine Ladies Embrace Change…
…and each other. Ditto for the men. This week at UMaine is Coming Out Week. I wish I could file this under Monkey News and thereby let it be known that this is just a joke, however it is not. … Continue reading

Second Exam
The first exam I had this semester was in Animal Breeding. To anyone who thinks this may sound cool, let me burst your bubble: It is all statistics (meaning numbers and lots of formulas involving Greek letters). I earned an … Continue reading

Cheese Food
You feed rabbit food to rabbits, and dog food to dogs. You feed cat food to cats, therefore you would think you would feed cheese food to cheese. Someone dropped the ball on the whole naming process here.

Chipmunk Mentality
Yes, I said it. Why is it that small, furry creatures wait until a car is coming before they try to cross the road? A squirrel, for instance, will sit by the side of the road happily chewing on an … Continue reading

“Gone”
My wife recently ended a job in a workplace she really needed to get out of for multiple reasons. It was a sad experience for her; she had invested a lot of work, time and emotion. This poem is for … Continue reading

Until Shotgun Do You Part
This man shot his wife after mistaking her for a monkey!!! It’s funny, but I think I can relate. It’s hard to count just how many times I’ve walked out into my back yard and had to ask myself “Is … Continue reading

My Personal RMFO Hall of Fame
(I had some fancy, maybe even touching things to say to introduce this post, but I lost them somehow not once, but TWICE as I typed them up on different days. Now I want to make it short and sweet.) … Continue reading

Fall Break
So, Roger, four days without a post…what have you been up to? Good question. My first response would be “nothing”. The University of Maine just had fall break on Monday and Tuesday and I would say I accomplished not a … Continue reading

“Beside You”
I wrote this last night for my wife. It was inspired by the card I bought her. Today is our Fourth Anniversary. That seems like a long time for a young married couple. This is the first and last draft. … Continue reading

Break Time
Seems it is time for me to lay off the humor attempts and turn my writing to something more…substantial. The lame humor attempts will return, though, since my goal is to entertain. Practice makes perfect, right? 😉

Dear God,
How are you? That was probably a stupid question; you are perfect. Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi. There are so many things I could ask of you, not all of them even selfish. Instead, though, I just wanted … Continue reading

Closure?
After slight reconnaissance of the Union’s entrances and egresses, I believe I have found a way to circumnavigate the Hackeysack Conspiracy. As hoped for by all, this should be the last you hear of it. May this period in my … Continue reading
