2020-04-01 Is This Thing On?

.....I haven't posted in a while, but in my defense I've only just come out of a coma. It was a bad reaction to an experimental drug I was taking to treat obsessive compulsive disorder. They tell me it was touch and go for a while but I'm fine now and the good news is I can finally stop washing my hands constantly.

SO, what's been in the news lately?

2019-01-15 Sometimes the best presents are homemade.

I haven't used this blog in a while because, frankly, there hasn't been much to feel funny about in the last three years. That's not to say that there hasn't been much to laugh at, just that much more to enrage. And it looks increasingly that that's not an accident.

All of this gave the country little choice but to turn over the House of Representatives to a different political party by voting in young, motivated and vocal legislators last year. Unfortunately, their party is still run by...

160430 A note on the "Lost Shakespeare Plays"

Sorry about getting behind and squeezing everything into the last day. Still, 27 Shakespeare jokes for free is more than I managed all last year. If you want to read them in order from the beginning, they start here:


With the election looming, I may do a spate of political humor, but for now, I'm going to assess my other dormant blogs. If you know an English major, forward this or the above link to them. It might make a boring graduation ceremony pass a little easier.

160429 A Joke : Lost Shakespeare #27

#27) "That Really Blows: The Guy Fawkes Story" (failed attempt at a "contemporary historical" play and, sadly, the last time journalism was attempted in England)

160428 A joke : Lost Shakespeare #26

#26) "Return Of The Son Of The Bride Of Henry"
