For those of you who don’t own any camouflage, wooden duck calls, or lawn gnomes, a deer blind is a kind of small, single or double occupancy, hunting shelter, typically elevated, that disguises the gunman from Bambi. I guess the simple advantage of a long-range firearm and scope is apparently not enough imbalance in the […]

The Truth About Te’o
People have suggested that Manti Te’o must either be the perpetrator of a disgusting hoax or supremely dumb. Numerous pundits, including the likes of Stephen A. Smith and Colin Cowherd, have said that it’s inconceivable that a red-blooded, alpha male, Division I athlete could ever carry on a serious relationship almost exclusively online or by […]

Watched all of part one. DVRed part deux. I have a lot of thoughts, most of which are in defense of Armstrong, and offensive, according to my wife. He strikes me as really despicable. I felt that way when he left his first wife. But, he has borne the full brunt of what is presently […]
Un Rey Sin Corona
I know you’d probably prefer a blong about Social Security administrative law or the rise and fall of sharecropping or why cuts bleed than to hear a song about baseball. But, I love it and the World Series started two nights ago. So, just prepare yourself for some pick-in-the-eye boredom. One of the most rare […]
Air Bubble Bursts
Nike dropped its endorsement deal with Lance Armstrong over the unrelenting charges, and what it deemed overwhelming evidence, of alleged doping. Thought I would repost the song I previously did concerning Lance’s demise and Neal Armstrong’s death. On the road, busy with a big work project. Something new soon, hopefully. Performed by ipoetlaureate. Music produced […]
Up Here
So, everyone likes bread, right? And, of course, everyone loves a good bike ride. Well what if you could combine the two? And make a bike out of bread. Camelot, right? It would be like a pillow made out of cheese. Omn nom nom nom nom. I would never leave bed. Or a fitted sheet […]
Delay of Game
So it looks like the NFL referee labor lockout has come to a close. For the first three excruciating weeks of the season, they’ve been using replacement officials not fit to call a foosball tournament. They’ve mishandled more calls than AT&T cellular. In their disdain for the replacement crews, however, fans have begun to irrationally […]
Add/Drop
Look, I only had a handful of reasonable song blogging choices for tonight, right? Deadly power outages in Cuba; the terrible motorcade accident that killed one of President Obama’s police escorts; or writing a diss track to the members of my fantasy football league. Eat my % Owned Voldemort’s Confetti ! I kept it classy […]
Two Strong
Neil Armstrong died Saturday. Lance Armstrong, in a sense, did too. I’m still trying to sort out my feelings on performance enhancing drugs (“PEDs”) and why we might convict certain individuals in the court of public opinion over them and not others. That aside, both Armstrongs refused to be ordinary or aim too low. In […]
Amen Corner
I’ve been going all Ryan Lochte at the neighborhood pool. Giant chains. Monster tires. Ice grill. I even tried to trademark “Pah-shhh!” In Lochte fashion, I can also swim four 25 meter laps. In a row. Without stopping. Well, maybe one stop. But, very short. And a nap. With only one snack. And I might […]
