Watch Your Language … Man

I happened to be in Berkeley California recently, walking down a liberal street at a fairly liberal pace, looking ahead, not at my feet. Sometimes you encounter large steel discs covering holes along the pavement and this particular plate was askew on its circular surface so that the edge formed a protruding lip. I tripped on said lip and kinda sorta almost hit the deck. In a moment of public embarrassment, I blurted out, fuckin’ manhole cover! Next thing I knew, I was cuffed and hauled into a liberal police precinct.

A “Break” For Dumb Things

We all need a break periodically if, for nothing else, so that we can process all of the dumb stuff we encounter every day … and, make no mistake, we need to address dumb stuff out in the open, clear it from our mental queue, or else we will all be stricken with a higher level of general dumbness.

The Problem With T-Shirts

When not working, the t-shirt is the official uniform of the American male. Once in a while, you encounter golf-shirt guy and he’s bound to be a dude that thinks he’s better at sports than he is and imagines he has personal style that he most certainly doesn’t. You might also spot the type who, in a casual setting, wears a button-up shirt, maybe a Hawaiian shirt and he will either be kinda porky or have grooming issues that he hopes will be disguised by a collar and buttons.
