Show me the person who doesn’t immediately rip off and devour the crispy wings from their store bought roasted chicken before anyone else in the family can get to them and I’ll show you a person I probably wouldn’t want as a friend.

Sheldon’s coming soon
The Big Bang Theory has resumed taping. Sheldon (or as we who are his intimates like to call him – Shelly) will soon be back in our homes every Thursday night so that those of us who are completely, unapologetically and forever in love with him will soon have more than reruns to sustain us. Can I get a Hallelujah!
Clearly size is not the ultimate arbiter
Snowy may be smaller in size but notice that the bigger dog follows him in the hope of figuring out how he won all the toys yesterday.
Oh yeah, and I’m mostly doing this to annoy my cousin Joe…. ok, I may have somewhere between 14 and 60 cousin Joe’s but he knows which one I mean.

Maybe not the brightest bulb in the box
I put the cloth bag I use for groceries at the end of the hallway so the next time I go down the hallway to the garage I will take it with me to the car. The bag fell over. I thought nothing of it until I heard Snowy growling and barking. I looked up to see him staring at the fallen bag, growling, sneaking up on it slowly and then running backwards right before reaching it. The bag had him scared to death.
I guess you gotta love them no matter how dim they act.

Oh dear me
Apparently yesterday’s posting has upset the Christian right in town. Oh dear, oh dear. Someone remind me sometime in January when things are slow and it’s dark and cold to worry about this.
Jon Stewart
I miss Jon Stewart but I will miss John Oliver too. He’s been an amazing substitute host. Wish they would do a Huntley/Brinkley type of broadcast so we could have them both on air at one time. Now that would be Nirvana during the next presidential election… campaigning for which has, apparently, already started.
It’s my bed
I give my dogs a lot of leeway in all things. But when I try to move them over so there is room for me in my own bed and they let loose with a soft growl, I think things have gone too far. It’s my bed. I pay the bills. I buy the food. I have the opposable thumb that can work the thermostat. That gives me some priority on at least a section of the bed, right?
drunken drivers
There should be an island in the middle of nowhere where all drunk drivers are dropped off with no return ticket… ever.
