That Explains It

The number of fools doing this is directly proportional to the number of locusts around here, bringing their strange and idiotic driving habits. It's worse on some of the country roads I use. One that I'm up and down every week runs through farms and ranches. And more often than not, there's some nitwit in … Continue reading That Explains It →

One of the things that trips me up are dumb movies. To me, if a movie has an unbelievable premise, or it's one where things are implausible and … Continue reading Dumb Movies →
