Those damn deer

Posted on October 11, 2010 | Comments Off on Those damn deer

I feel like a curmudgeon chasing children off the lawn when I yell or clap my hands to get four or five white-tailed deer off the front lawn. But, in addition to their poop, which accumulates, they are stupid enough to try to jump through a window as they did here. Our local pols, of course, are worthless. They have long refused to buck the Bambi/Greens crowd and do anything to get the deer out of the neighborhood.

It’s biggerize, biggerize, people

Seems the lexicographers are all aflutter that “embiggen” is seeping into mainstream usage. It should be “biggerize,” I tell you. Mr. B.’s biggerize is the natural opposite of “minimize.” Embiggen is completely out of left field.

The 40 best speed traps (in Texas)

Posted on October 5, 2010 | Comments Off on The 40 best speed traps (in Texas)

Right there, at No. 19 on the list, is my, uh, unfavorite: Mustang Ridge in south Travis/ north Caldwell Counties on Hwy 183. The others I have (so far) managed to avoid.

9th Annual Boobie-Thon

I can’t imagine that any woman on the planet hasn’t heard about Breast Cancer Awareness by now, even the wholly-enshrouded ones of the radical Islamists. Still, you’ve got to, uh, hand it to these bloggers for keeping the subject in view.

Pokes 38, Ags 35

Couldn’t help thinking, hours after that really good night game between Texas A&M and Oklahoma State, which OK State won in the last two seconds with a field goal, that it really was the usual result: OK State is a threat, and A&M, well, poor Aggies.

Advantages of a Red State

Posted on September 28, 2010 | Comments Off on Advantages of a Red State

We don’t have to live in a watch-your-step security bubble (where metal or plastic drink containers are suddenly a national security threat) while an unpopular (42 percent latest approval) Democrat president comes to town to campaign for his party’s reelection—like the poor schmoos in Madison, Wisconsin, do this week.
