Safety glasses must be worn...

This is going to be fun.

This guy, L.A. Tarone, is like hyperactivity on steroids fused with an out-of-control adrenaline pump. He's wildly entertaining as well as well-read.

Finally! Some local P.M. talk worth tuning in for.

Happy New Year!

Man, I am feeling so upbeat, so completely optimistic, I just know that 2014 is going to be a keeper...



And they used to say I was crazy for clenching my fist around lit packs of firecrackers.

Sad, I am.

Gallery of Sound: Tits up

There was a reason why my mom went all silver-haired at such a young age. Basically, I was that reason. And Joe Nardone was my enabler.

Remember, if it ain't loud, it ain't worth a fu>k.

Sez me.

'Gadget brawl' season

Merry effing nonsense!

Watching the impatient multitudes act badly always makes me gleeful, reverent and introspective.

Next year, to a very large degree...I will opt out of this sophistry.

'Til the next 'gadget brawl' season.

Live Leak's 2013 year in review.

This is wicked, so if you're not real big on death, destruction, dismemberment and property damage, sit this one out.

#4 is histoire

Weis Markets went and ripped down the former Franklin's Family Restaurant in Dallas.

I did a tour there in 1983. Being that the ownership of Franklin's lived up on the hill a ways, and being that most of the employees were tributes, I went over like a DEA agent in a stash house. Blunt, crude, theatrical and driven by company policy---no exceptions.

I'll never forget sitting in the "Blue Room," both Wifey and I enjoying our dinner when then-toddler Peace decided to stick her fork in an electrical socket.

Once upon a time, Franklin's ruled: "Quality food, quality service in a clean environment."

The big boxes rule over commerce now.

Enjoy your microwaved pig slop.

Buh-bye

Parsons Santa parade

Being new to the neighborhood, this was our 2nd go-round with the Parsons Lions Club annual Santa parade.

Even though Wifey is not a kid, we scored two grabs bags full of candy.

In my denuded mind, this is a pretty neat undertaking.

Nice.

Hey, what happened to Pure Bunkem? Threats? Lawsuit?

Stop the pigeon!

Warning: The following video contains filthy language that would make even Nancy Pelosi blush.

Embrace the fu>k.



S.H.A.R.K.

Wow! The world is so completely upside down, even pigeon abuse is offensive.

What the do-gooders apparently don't get is that pest control operators from sea to Sargasso sea are trapping and euthanizing, or flat-out poisoning pigeons day-in and day-out. If only they knew, they'd have a whole mission to embark upon.

From CBS News...

 "More than 700 chemicals are used in the fracking process, and many of them disturb hormone function," study's authors Susan C. Nagel, an associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and women’s health at the University of Missouri School of Medicine in Columbia, Mo., said in a press release. "With fracking on the rise, populations may face greater health risks from increased endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure."

So, doctors tell fibs, too?
