Let me just say -

Wow.

Let me correct that -

Wow. Wowfuckitywowwow. Wow.  That is one hell of a meal you got going on there.

You, sir, are a braver, if not a better man than I. First off, lunch at 7:30 in the morning is… Read full post »

I got thinking about Bill O'Reilly & Glenn Beck today.

All That's Missing is Curly 

I don't like doing that - thinking about those two. Breaking out into an icy-cold sweat is no way to start your morning. The only reason I thought of them is the fact that I saw they are going on… Read full post »

I got thinking about fortune cookies today.

Stop lying to me, Cookie!!!!!!!! 

When did they become so lame? In fact, when did they stop telling actual fortunes in favor of opinions? Today, after eating my bowl of seasame chicken, I cracked open my vanilla-flavored friend only to be greeted with the following:

When Geeks and Nerds Cross-Pollinate

Awhile back, someone asked The Future Mrs. Wonderhorse when we were getting married, since we've been engaged for coming up on two years now. The answer she gave is the one we've both been giving for awhile: I don't know, whenever we get around to it.

This person, knowing that… Read full post »

I got thinking about fast food today.

Jack in the Box, in particular.

You see, Jack in the Box recently expanded into Colorado, and now I'm starting to see their creepy little white clown head mascot pop up everywhere.

All's Quiet on the Western Front

I have it. Something I've been hoping to avoid, but my defenses are down, and damned if it didn't sneak right in and knock me flat on my ass. No, it's not the Swine Flu. It's something worse.

The Block.

The Damned Block. I haven't posted anything for a few days,… Read full post »

I Could Go For Some Gravy

I got thinking about gravy today.

We're getting to that time of year when gravy really shines. I tell you, mid-July, I damn near forget gravy even exists. But come late October, I know my gravy intake is getting close to doubling. I don't know what it is about the approaching… Read full post »

Tweeting Towards Oblivion

"You're going to what?"

"Tweet. Or twit. Or twitterize....whatever the hell they call it. I assume once you have finished, you can say you have tweeted or twitted. I'm guessing you don't say you have just twat."

Self-Love In An Elevator

I got thinking about elevators today.

I don't ride in elevators much anymore. I used to ride in elevators everyday. Now, not so much. Living in Chicago as I did for some 14 years, elevators were a way of life. Living in a much smaller Colorado town, well, elevator rides are… Read full post »

The Story of Bryan Sterling Wellington

One day, Bryan Sterling Wellington went to the zoo....did I tell you his middle name was Chauncey? Isn't that kind of a crazy name: Bryan Chauncey Sterling Wellington? On the other hand, it is kind of cool. I kind of dig the name Chauncey. Of course, it reminds me of Peter… Read full post »

To The Woman Who Recently Shaved My Chest

Hi. You probably don't remember me. I'm guessing you see a shitload of guys like me every day. No worries - I certainly don't blame you for that. Let's be honest, I'm not that memorable. Anyway, I came in a couple of days ago for that treadmill test thing. You asked… Read full post »

No Comment; or The Cliffs of Inanity

I got thinking about comments today.

You know, the comments you leave on posts that your fellow OS'ers write? I'm looking at "My Recent Comments" column, and I have to say, I'm fairly appalled:

No, You Can't Have Your Own Theme Song

I know you really want one. I know you think you deserve one. But as Clint Eastwood once said, deserve's got nothing to do with it. Suck it up, buttercup, the answer is no.

You can't have your own theme song.

I refuse to play one everytime you enter the… Read full post »

My Old Lady

I got thinking about John Denver today.

Love Never Dies; or Crap Lasts Forever

I heard today that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has composed a sequel to his mega-hit from the 80's, The Phantom of the Opera.

The Show That Made A Gazillion Dollars 

Love Never Dies is scheduled to premiere in London in March, 2010, then move to New York later next year. I've never seen Phantom, but I know the… Read full post »

The Future's Former

Things have been, um....well...crazy seems to be the operative word around the Wonderhorse Love Emporium lately. We're still unpacking from our move a month and a half ago, we're both in rehearsals now, we have family planning on visiting us from out of state in a couple of weeks, and oh,… Read full post »

What's With All the Pansy Vampires?

I really enjoy a good scare. I'm a big fan of horror movies. Anything that looks remotely scary is good enough to stop me from channel-surfing for at least a couple of minutes. I've noticed something lately, though. A rather disturbing trend for any horror-lover.

What's with all the pansy vampires?… Read full post »

Why, Yes, Nicolas Cage WAS Just Wearing a Bear Suit

Wow. I can't believe I actually saw that. In fact, I actually had to rewind just to make sure I was seeing it correctly. Yep, there it is. Can't deny it's existence. It's right there - captured for all time.

Nicolas Cage just punched a woman while dressed in a bear… Read full post »

Send In The Clowns

Okay, I'm officially freaked out.

Last thing I remember was going to see the play last night, and now I wake up in a strange city, in a strange hotel room that smells of cigarettes and stale bourbon.  Oh, and clowns.

So many clowns.

There must be like 36-1/2 clowns… Read full post »

Electric Light Wonderhorchestra

Stop staring at me like that.

I don't care if you think I'm crazy or not, but 40 is not too old to start a band. Sure, the odds may be against me achieving anything resembling success, but stranger things can happen. The inexplicable popularity of Nickleback, for instance. Besides,… Read full post »

In Which I Become A Pompous Blowhard

I woke up this morning feeling a bit out of sorts. It made me concerned, in a way. I really have no reason to be out of sorts: a new house, the best mate in the Future Mrs. Wonderhorse, a job, excellent friends, and of course, Zack the Wonderdog. Then it hit me.… Read full post »

More Bang For Your Cluck

You're probably asking, Sheldon, how do you get such sporty-looking chickens? Simple: I paint them.

I don't see chickens as just egg-laying, food machines. I see them as walking, clucking, pooping works of art. So one day, I was looking at my chickens, and I thought, You know what ? ThatRead full post »

Those Sideburns Are Eating Your Face

It's really out of control.

I mean, look at those things. They are getting enormous. Really, they've gone beyond sideburns. At this point, they're front and backburns. It's almost as if you started growing a beard, and gave up 1/3 of the way through. Frankly, it looks like you are smuggling Neil… Read full post »
