Have you ever wondered about that phrase? Just why is the proof in the pudding? Did the person who coined the phrase research other desserts? I have this vision of a team of scientists in Belgium holding a press conference.
“We’ve eaten a variety of cakes, pies, and cookies. We were unable to find conclusive truth in any of them. Dr. Van Wilmart claimed to have found proof in pecan pie. However, is research could not be duplicated and we later learned his brother owned a pecan farm. The esteemed Dr. …

Citizens are impervious to vampires, zombies, and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Citizens read Carry On, Citizens making them smarter, happier, and better at game shows.
If Godzilla sees a citizen on the street, he will blast them with his atomic breath. If Godzilla sees a Citizen on the street, he most likely will buy them a beer.
Citizens are often followed by cartoon woodland creatures.
Citizens smell like Cinnamon.
Citizens instinctively know how to curse in French.
When a Citizen gets a tattoo, it’s in 3D.
If Jack Bauer were a Citizen, he would only need 23 hours.

 A friend of mine sent me this picture to blog about. She felt the disturbing nature of the text was well suited to my particular brand of disturbing humor. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult, but I’m trying to be more of a glass is half full type of guy. So, we’ll go with compliment.
Anyway, in case you can’t enlarge the picture, here is what it says:
Pinto Bean/Hotdog Supper.

Wow, there’s just so much to choose from —I don’t know where …

I was in a department store today with a couple of friends. I’ve always sort of viewed the department store as a flyover venue, sort of like New Yorkers view the Midwest. For me, it was that place you walked through on your way to the other place —the place with the electronics, or the gadgets, or the food court. Anyway, there were three of us on this journey, one being female. The female in our group is anticipating some sort of upcoming ritual that involves a minister, cake, and …

I read a blog post today by the good folks at TKO Graphics about vehicle wrapping. They are predicting that more individuals are going to want to sign up for paid to drive advertising. Of course, that got me thinking about wrapping Moonlight Graham. Moonlight Graham is the name of my Hyundai Sonata. It was named by my friends 6 year old son. Car namings are a big thing with my friends.
Anyway, I started to think about wrapping my car. Of course, this might have a not-so-desired effect on my …

I have, believe it or not, been an idiot on several occasions. Apparently, this is a condition for which one can never be fully cured. You can control the symptoms, even see it go into remission for weeks, months, even decades. But, it’s always lurking within the recesses of your mind (which scientists say is the best place for things to lurk). 

If you like your events dipped in batter and fried to a golden brown, the State Fair is almost here! The event’s organizers are calling this the Year of Soybeans. I wonder if they will try to deep fry them. Let’s face it, that wouldn’t be the most ridiculous deep fried thing sold there. We had the deep fried Oreos, the deep fried Pepsi (I still can’t figure that one out), and deep fried Twinkies.

So tonight I watched the President talk about the debt ceiling. Then John Boehner gave a rebuttal. If someone told me I would have to watch the two of them every night, I would weep openly. Of course, America didn’t have to be subject to this. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. In 2008, I gave you the outline of my plan to eliminate the National Debt. Rather than listen to me, you put your faith in Democrats and Republicans. Silly voters. So, …

Connersville, Indiana made national news this week. And not for a good reason either. It seems they have their own version of water polo and it’s illegal. According to a WISH-TV report, a couple was charged for public indecency for having sex in a public pool. During the day. With LOTS of people around! Now, I have so many questions I don’t know where to begin. But begin I will, because this is just the sort of hard news you’ve come to expect me to comment on!
So, let’s start with …

I was just shamed by a fan for not writing a Derek Jeter/3,000 hit post. Not just shamed, derided. Maybe even taken to the woodshed. So, I Jeff Stanger officially apologize for not writing a Derek Jeter post last week. Or any posts for that matter. It was an interesting week. And without further adieu, here is some dieu on Derek Jeter. (Remember, you asked for it!)
