Being in the Wild: The Original Control/Alt/Delete

Randy | August 27, 2010

I’ve never been one to become bored by my own company. I was quite young when I realized that being alone wasn’t boring, and that to truly know boredom I had to be in the company of other people. For most of my childhood, and all of what has so far passed as my adult [...]

A Meditation on Cloudy Thinking

Randy | August 17, 2010

Too many people with whom I’ve to do
Go through life with their reason askew.
When their answers arrive
Two plus two equals five
Using very large values of two.

A Codger’s Lament

Randy | August 16, 2010

A hoary old codger out west
Brought his doctor a special request,
“This may seem rather queer,
“But the reason I’m here,
“Is to check out my sperm count, no jest!”

Another Piece of Ribaldry

Randy | August 16, 2010

A teacher once offered a prize
For a student to quickly devise
What organ might
When treated aright
Grow 20 times larger in size.

A Bit of Irreverent Sunday Amusement Based on a Joke I Once Heard

Randy | August 15, 2010

Renowned one-eyed whore, Cindy Lou
Was in demand for the things she could do.
For a bit more out of pocket
You could screw her eye socket
And she’d always keep an eye out for you!

Sporrans - Not Just for the Kilted

Randy | August 9, 2010

Once upon a time, pants didn’t come with pockets. They were more like high waisted, close fitted leggings of leather or fabric or both, believed to have evolved from footed hose, the kind of rugged all day jammies popular in the medieval period. The version most favoured in Scotland are referred to as “the truis” [...]

A Shit From the Prairie Named Stu …

Randy | July 29, 2010

I enjoy dabbling in the creation of humourous poetry. Some day I will write a poem beginning with the line that is the title of this post.
Known only to my closest associates is that, when in my cups and sufficiently provoked, I’ve been known to throw one off the lip as it were, writing it [...]

Results of a Few Hours on the Road Without My Woman

Randy | July 27, 2010

Mrs. LFM and I work as a team in all our endeavours and hence, each of us rarely goes abroad in the land without the other. Well, today was an exception - she had some field work to do with a couple of our dogs while I got to do a fire alarm inspection in [...]

World Domination and Parties of the Same Name

Randy | July 19, 2010

In my 27 June 2010 article titled “The End of the World” As We Know It, I mentioned the party I hosted on New Year’s Eve 1999, the night the world transitioned into 2000 and everything was supposed to go to shit. The party was held at my place of residence and business which I [...]

Cool, Simple, Healthy, and Tasty

Randy | June 28, 2010

Our kitchen is equipped with a steadily growing library of books about food and drink. Add to that our voracious surfing of blogs and other websites on those subjects and it’s not surprising our diet is as rich and varied as it is.
But this article isn’t about anything so grand as a recipe that will [...]
