Adventures of a Basic Force For Good in Our Time^TM]]> en-us 2009-02-15T10:22:38-05:00 http://www.funnyfarmonline.org/archives/000884.html Tuesday, 21 Shivring 2009 It appears that some of the recent site updates that I requested are finally processing. Some tweaking of the site may be hapenning in the near future. In the meantime, it appears that commenting is now a bit more user friendly (it was possible but not intuitively easy to comment with the frelled templates I have been using to date) and the color scheme has...

When I did finally turn to tube on and started watching the game, within thirty seconds Robert Lang scored the first goal of the game. You...

I just finished the last bottle of a six pack that I got in early July last year* in Oklahoma, and it was still full-flavored, crisp, and nicely robust as befits the pale ale** style of beer. Now, if only Happy Face Breweries*** can produce something of similar quality, the beer box will be able to be replenished...

This has been, by orders of magnitude, the longest I have been employed by one company during my working career*. The job is pretty much everything you could hope for if you're a pushing fifty computer nerd without much desire for doing...

I'd like to share a couple of those emails with the studio audience. My apologies in advance if the cliched, mysogynist, deficiency-mocking nature of some of this humor is offensive to anyone. The first one I'd like to present to you is largely about the...

In between holiday visitations and a lingering cough that turned out to be a sinus infection that needed some (thankfully effective) antibiotics*, I managed to awaken an ancient hunger that has invaded my life once more...

It is with great anger (but little surprise) that I read about Republican'ts distributing a disk that features a song called Barack the Magic Negro. Way to show your...

Particularly how it highlights those who, much like the caller in this video, contort themselves into pretzels trying to justify their selective bigotry: (a big tip of the hat to Teddy Partridge...

The Rev. Joseph Illo says his parishioners at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Modesto shouldn't risk losing their "state of grace" by receiving communion sacrilegiously. He delivered...

By an amazing coincidence (that seems to be the sum and substance of my earthly existence this time around), one of my younger brothers' fiancee is a member of his (and a number of other priests performing services there) congregation. He's one of the priests...
