An homage to Nashville, my home for the past couple of days. This Cootchie Classic had my mother telling me EXACTLY where I was conceived, right there in the comments on the original post. I’m going to spare your tender imagination, Dear Reader. Just reading that title makes me want to hurl. But, my parents [...]

You hafta go to the bathroom in this place. Not a standard greeting from an aged Southern gentleman, or any man desiring the chivalric title for that matter. He was slight. Abundant white hair, still arrayed in a flattened pompadour. Feisty. A force. He forced me to go to the bathroom. My job gives me [...]

From two holidays ago, I’m Dreaming of a Chainsaw Christmas (!) from infobarrel.com (does MTM need the gun part, too?) Lest anyone think that gifts are all about me, I spent [...]
