Can you feel it? Can you smell it in the air? It’s that season where adults become bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like the happy-go-lucky children we once were. It’s that time of the year that transports us back to a world of innocence like no other. Yes, it’s WhiskyShow […]
How about a bit of Peatbog Faeries music to set the proper mood for this peaty post? There are many famous Peats. Peat Rose (not in the Hall of Fame). Peat Townshend (wrote Quadropeatia). Peat Seeger (“On Top of Old Peaty”). Peat Rozelle (NPL commissioner). St. Peater. Peater […]
On a weird Friday night recently, G-LO and I ventured into a few rums and babbled endlessly. It’s what we do. We find it very therapeutic, and it saves us $60 each on professional help. We’re cheap sumbitches when it comes to paying for therapy, but we’re very […]

It’s 1980 and summer is coming to an end. College starts in a few weeks and I need a job. $93 per semester at Cal State Long Beach is a fortune. Ninety-three freaking dollars…for one semester! Were they ripping off the Future of America back then or what? […]
I married a rocket scientist. Ok, not really. She’s a satellite engineer. Same difference. Well, not exactly, and Exactly is an art form for engineers. Numbers and formulas and complex algorithms are buzzing in her head constantly. She won’t admit it but she talks in her sleep and […]
If Larry King wrote for us…. Being in the radio/tv/people business since 1907, you learn a few things, kid. Like calling everyone “kid”. You also learn that prune juice is a wonder drug. I use it on my dry skin, and shampoo with it. Works like a charm, kid. Morley […]
It’s holiday time, and that means the mailbag has gotten a tad fat with questions, comments, accusations and lint with all things Holiday. The Answer Man is here to answer. It’s what he does!
