Filthie's dad is dying. He posted a piece last week that got me thinking. I should have told dad I loved him when I left… but the men in my family don’t talk like that. I found it difficult to think, it was bedlam at the home. These are people at the end of their … Continue reading On Dying

It’s what it is..
Kim DuToit discovers insurance companies are dens of thieves. Was chatting to my insurance guy the other day, and the result of said discussion was that as far as my VW Tiguan is concerned, I’m screwed if I ever get into a wreck because the book value of the 2013 model with 130,000+ miles is … Continue reading It’s what it is..
So What?
Every so often when I'm working I'll tune into talk radio. I was listening to Sebastian Gorka the other day as he was taking calls. There's always a moonbat or two that make things interesting. That day's moon bat went on this tirade about how Hawaii was taken as a territory, the islanders not given … Continue reading So What?
Running from Cougars?
Brother Filthie has a run in with some older, single women. Bout a year back I took my niglet pup over to crazy Mary’s to get her shots. Mary had two friends over while we were there. I was caught totally by surprise. Within 5 minutes I knew her girl friends were divorced from extremely … Continue reading Running from Cougars?
Don’t Let the Old Man In
There was a lot of talking about Toby Keith, upon his untimely death recently. The best I heard was the line "Don't let the old man in". It was told to Keith by Clint Eastwood when he was asked how he keeps going. “He said, ‘I just get up every morning and go out. And … Continue reading Don’t Let the Old Man In
The Iron Doesn’t Lie
Just as I was about to write piece about this, Vox Day weighed in on Sigma Game about this very subject. Although my take on it is little bit different. His is about calculating your max, say for a bench press. He issued a challenge to his readers to test the method. Love to do … Continue reading The Iron Doesn’t Lie
Culling the Herd
There are a number of bloggers I read that I spring a few bucks for their paywall writing, like Zman's behind the green door. He had a piece last week on companies getting rid of all the hu-white guys with institutional knowledge. The other day I learned that my contact at a longtime customer had … Continue reading Culling the Herd
Vox Smacks a Hornet’s Nest
Vox Day added a substack to his repertoire. The sit is named 'Sigma Game'. He started it because he's had a lot of call for a book on the sociosexual heirarcy. (SSH) The SSH is simply a mechanism to figure out who you are dealing with when encountering a dude. A woman's one would be … Continue reading Vox Smacks a Hornet’s Nest
An Interesting Observation
I had good friend call me the other night. He goes dark for weeks at a time sometimes, and then emerges to catch up on what’s been going on. He said he was worried about me. Turns out his son nearly died over the New Year’s holiday. He got married very early, and after four … Continue reading An Interesting Observation
For Whom the Bell Tolls
I found this on the Burning Platform: https://twitter.com/i/status/1745760948097327572 She records her...uh...Force Management Planning event. The piece itself is about being replaced by diversity. I don't understand that, really, since she's a semi-protected class, so to speak. I'll circle back to that. First off, everyone knows when a Day of the Long Knives is coming at … Continue reading For Whom the Bell Tolls
