I know you had your hopes, but there are a LOT of postcards sitting around in the files. If people would get busy and BUY them, we could be chatting again about Turkey Liver Pizza. But though we nearly covered our “behinds” in the last column, there are other running gags in the worldContinue reading “More Basic Humor”

A Basic Joke
Well, Thanksgiving is past and we must now face the reality that Christmas is upon us. I have, myself, always stated that I DO love Christmas: I’m just not very good at it. So many things which used to be so simple have become difficult with the passage of time. For example, at myContinue reading “A Basic Joke”
The Bachelor and the Turkey
Now, this is not, not, not, not a food blog, as I have mentioned before. However, we are rolling at the greatest food holiday of our year (about the only one which is about the entree and not the dessert, or the snack) and I thought I would record my turkey cooking experiences. ThisContinue reading “The Bachelor and the Turkey”
Another Hit Parade
It has been some time since we last considered the popular song on the postcard. (Don’t start counting back through the blogs; just take my word for it.) The pop song and the postcard are of similar age: there were certainly songs which stuck in the ear and were heard at every concert andContinue reading “Another Hit Parade”
Classic Strippers
When I was a lad, the world went through another wave of Nostalgia. We as a society run from periods of “The past was evil; forget it!” to “The past was kind of funny” to “Some of the past was really cool” to “The past is kind of funny” to start again with “TheContinue reading “Classic Strippers”
Menu Mischief
This is not a food blog. Nor is it a parenting blog, though I am eminently suited to writing one of those, having no children. HOWEVER, I thought I would pass along a few gimmicks for the impending holidays. These are not specifically holiday recipes. There was no particular rhyme or reason thatContinue reading “Menu Mischief”
Hallelujah, I’m a Bum
Once upon a time, there was a whole world of migrant vagrants. The lore of this world can be found in many nations, and members of the group served as heroes, villains, or comic relief in many a story. Some were men down on their luck, while others were princes in disguise. But byContinue reading “Hallelujah, I’m a Bum”
Can’t Top the Topper
I try not to dwell too fiercely on the fashions of previous generations. I recall too well the exchange between a teacher in my high school who was pointing out to a classmate of mine who was snickering at the crewcuts shown in an old yearbook that within twenty years, what the kids wereContinue reading “Can’t Top the Topper”
NOTABLE NOTES
Although we see discussions (sometimes in this very space) of the music of bygone days, these tend to focus on what I would call “officially available music”. These are performances on the Broadway stage, or concerts in big cities by big name musicians, or the debuts of operas or symphonies in front of massiveContinue reading “NOTABLE NOTES”
Generic Halloween
It’s that time of year again. The air is chill, night comes more quickly than before, and ghosts roam out with ghouls in search of things that go crunch in the night. And by that I mean Nestle’s Crunch, along with bite-size Snickers, miniature Snickers, and full-size Snickers. Here’s hoping your share of theContinue reading “Generic Halloween”
