On the hundredth post I asked, “I wrote 99, surely you can write one” – but it was an epic fail. I’d already run out of things to say after the 16th article and it showed.
Today marks my 1000th post and I know better than to ask what you like.
It was a simple and [...]

The potential exists for one last massive upheaval to the site. Scheduled for this weekend, it’s possible we’ll be offline for the better part of a day while sites are swapped between partitions and memory is reallocated to the respective blogs.
While it’s certain you’re pining away for fly fishing irreverence – we’ll be delivering what [...]

Naturally my first thoughts are conspiracy. Some war mongering industrial conglomerate attempting to take my “just kill me” flu induced weakness, to bar my prose from the collective consciousness …

A Saturday scout in between rain showers. The Little Stinking, swollen and defiant… Bagged it in preference to assembling an artery hardening ensemble of deep fried, coagulated, and partially hydrogenated Superbowl chow.

Most would agree that Nike has always been a poster child for cutting edge marketing coupled with a flair for picking the proper spokesman.
Michael Jordan is an empire unto himself, and while Tiger Woods is no slouch, the “Just Do It” mantra might have touched a nerve …

Dear Older Bro,
You’ve been quiet of late which means you’ve found the joke gift that will enrage me – while you scuttle behind the Christmas tree and Ma’s protective skirts – making funny faces over her shoulder, knowing I can’t take a swing at you ‘cause Ma would be disappointed and knock us both [...]

Screw the gnashing of teeth, mock concern, and “woe is me” populist reaction, we’re being assaulted by air, land, and sea – and it’s about time we exploited the little SOB’s …
