Don’t Fear the Leaf Dudes or should ya?

A few years ago…..actually about 20 years ago we had some fun with trick-or-treaters.  We were downtown P’boro at our friends house.  They had a ton of kids come that year.  
Anyway, I dressed up in some old clothes, put on gloves and a mask.  I stuffed leaves in my sleeves, in the chest area of the shirt, [...]

The Invisible Man and Bob

So, do you have a costume picked out for Halloween?  
I picked mine out the other day.  I am going as the invisible man.  No clothes, just gonna go trick-or-treating in my birthday suit.  Since I am the invisible man no one will be any wiser.  They’ll open the door and a brown grocery bag will be there about [...]

Look I got no pants

Looks like Autumn is trying to nudge it’s way onto the climatological landscape here in New England.  Woke up today to a raw, wet Autumn day.
As I sit at my computer and look out at the yard, the grayness of the morning is broken up by the muted oranges, reds and yellows of the leaves [...]

Evil Giant Ants

Just fucking great….
Ma just emailed me and told me there was an old rumor that someone had hanged (hung) themselves in the basement at 48 Pond St.  Sweet Jebus, I knew the damn place was haunted. 
I remember having a reoccurring nightmare when I lived in the EviL HOuSe on Pond St.  It would wake me up [...]

I am sorry, we disagree….you will now be deleted

Opinions. 
Now that’s an interesting concept.  Everyone has them. 
The question is does it honestly pay to share them anymore. 
Sometimes sharing an opinion can get you in trouble, especially if it’s an opinion not shared by the majority of society.  Then again you can get in trouble at an individual level too. 
Sometimes it’s easier to [...]

What’s in your Pinata?

I was at the store the other day and overheard the following conversation -
 Lady #1 - Hey Jane whats in your pinata?, Lady #1 asked as she stood there holding a very, very large bag of candy.
Jane – I don’t know?  Is the pinata I bought empty?
Lady #1 – How should I know what’s in your pinata, you [...]

The Nasty’s

Boo!
Woke up this morning to a very foggy, dark new england morning.  With a piping hot cup of joe in my hand it gave me pause to think about spooky stuff.  Maybe it’s the fact I can see the enormous pile of wood in my driveway and it’s haunting me….
I grew up in a house that was [...]

Have you checked the state of your buttons today?

“The first thing any comedian does on getting an unscheduled laugh is to verify the state of his buttons.”  A great quote from the late William Claude Dukenfield (aka WC Fields).
Buttons are everywhere.  You could say I am typing this on buttons.  Most of us call them keys.  Use your cell phone today, you used buttons, [...]

125,000 BTU Hang over pirates

It’s 8am and I am standing in front of my two Bakers Pride Pizza ovens.  These little puppies put out 125,000 BTU apiece….I think.  Not sure what that all means except that every time I hit my forearm on the door it leaves a nasty burn.  I’ve done it so much I am ready to [...]
