Nothing Much

Komrades:   Geroge Washington never told a lie. :wub: george bushe never told the truth.   In a way, doesn't Pres. chenny call to mind Aaron Burr? But Aaron was a better shot.   Domina Claudia off to Maygne for a fortnight of fun and games with my out-laws. Delivered her off to her sister in Nu Joyzee. Had to go through the Holland tunnel twice. As you can see, I made it. Gassed up the chariot in that province and the attendant was highly agitated because it only took 5+ gallons @ 18 b

My Home In Corbridge, U.K.

I know that you all would like to see a picture of my home in Corbridge. Picture was taken by Pertinax ere he and his Lady had dinner with us. Antiochus of Seleucia kindly put the pic in. I haven't had a chance to bring the name up to date.

My First Time in the Slammer.

When I was a mere nipper of 7 or 8 tender years in Brooklyn* during and after WWII, there were anti-aircraft cannon emplaced on the roofs of industrial and warehouse buildings. Legionaries were on guard at all the entrances to these buildings. The lot in which we roasted stolen mickeys had a machine gun nest with pup tents for a full sized company. The repair docks were loaded with destroyers and other minor war ships. Life boats with all sorts of rations festooned the docks. They made perfect c

Murphy's Laws.

Murder!

Komrades (You too DoL):   Errol Flynn was a Tasmanian. The Tasmanian cricket team is called the Tigers, ergo, A live Tasmanian Tiger has been sighted! (Really.)   It has come about that two former NYC cops were convicted of 'conspiracy to murder'. Were convicted in Federal Court. Conviction overturned because of Statute of Limitations on conspiracy. Convicts want to be set loose amongst citizenry. Feds want to charge convicted with 'murder' in state court now. What's this double jeopardy t

Letters & Words

Sundry criminals have been at work on the English language for ages. It is high time these miscreants were brought to book.   Let us examine the letter "H".   Not pronounced in 'eight' where it lives; prounced in Sean where it is on vacation. Not pronounced in 'ghost' (yes, yes, I know, it tells us how to pronounce the 'g'). OK, so, gho ghet ghum. Lets be consistent. The Irish don't bother pronouncing it in 'thanks', but they do in 'Sean'. Koo-koo, no? Thought, bought, caught! Pronounce th

LETTER FROM VIET-NAM

You might remember the 'Mac' of an earlier Journal who was commander of the failed raid on the Coast Guard bank.   Mac was graduated from school as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He became a reconnaissance pilot and was sent off to Viet Nam. I was supposed to follow as a combat engineer, but lucked out.   The following is a letter Capt. Mac [b.] sent to me in 1963.     "13 Jan. 63   Howdy Tom,   Greetings from a hospital bed in worn torn Viet Nam. Nope. No bullet holes. No V.D.,

Me Buckos:   National Women's Football Assoc. Super Bowl will take place next month. Hope it is as good as the Aussie midget tossing.   Some witch put a curse on some woman so that she would fall in love with some chap. The contra party didn't appreciate it, so she brought the matter up before the magistrates.

Last Blog Entry?

Komrades:   This may be my last blog due to a certain post of mine. So.... ----------------------------------------------------------   And now for some cultural reportage.   To start with, it is El Cinco de Mayo once again.   You've all heard the libelous term 'Italian Football Wedding', but you probably never had the pleasure of having attended one, since the most of you are barbarians. Herein, I shall describe one to you. But, for contrast, I shall open things with an inter-racial an

Justly Deserved World Fame.

It gives me great pleasure to announce to you that I, Don Tomasso of Brooklyn, am world famous!

In Re Pater Arcanae.

IRIS has tendered to the god-Consul the intelligence that celebrations have been afoot hereabouts with regard to my recent absence. It does not displease me to inform all y'all that I am still here. Tough!   I have been tending to taxes , the felonies of my brokerage house and other baloney.   Easter went well. We had a little rain here in America. Nothing to really talk about.   I am illegitimate uncle to a 16 year old nymph. She's a junior Rockette or something like that. So I attend

In Re My Lord Pertinax

It pleases me to be the presenter of pleasant tidings pertaining to the present perigrinations of the pertinacious and puissant Lord Pertinax of Putney :notworthy: . His Grace, :notworthy: in his perpetual pursuit of pastoral provender, is perambulating through the pastures of the provinces of the Picts; picking parsley, purslane, pansies and peppermint, and imbibing potent porter.

In Re His Greekship.

It was my pleasure to have met His Greekness, Don Giovanni (aka Pantagathus) :notworthy: , about a week ago. He and his Domina trod up from one of the the outlying provinces to America. I picked him up with the Imperial Chariot somewhere in an exurb of NYC. We somehow knew each other immediately. At first, I must tell you that he is the handsome ideal of a Southern Gentleman. We yakked about many things, (strangling Ramses; putting a hex on Pertinax :notworthy: ) on our way to Brookfordshirese

Grumbles

Fellow Sufferers:   Seems that the Canadian Moslems want to assimilate, i.e., on their terms. They will determine what 'sin' is. My sometimes faulty logic tells me that means Canadians will have to do the assimilating. I'll pass and turn in my honorary Prince Edward Island citizenship. Then, there is a group of these ruffians who want to hack off the premier's head. I'm sure that that is a go for some Canadians.   For a prize, let's see who can use the word 'that' in a row, (without any inte

Fellow Travelers:   If it weren't for Pentagathus, this blog would be locked and deader than a dumb bell. For the which, I humbly thank him publically. I hope he doesn't come to regret it. The gods bless those who speak Latin and know computerese. :angel: Pertinax chipped in also :notworthy: If any are as ignorant as I am of this stuff, as old as I am, and want to open a blog, pay no attention to the instructions.

Good Ole Sheriff Judd.

Subject: Police justice.   Another case of underestimating the ammo requirements.   As reported earlier this week, some dirtbag who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed.   A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life piece of human garbage was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWA

New element discovered!   The recent hurricanes and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.   The new element has been named *Governmentium*. Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.   These 312 particles are held together by forces call

Greetings & Salutations:   In re the new $5 bill - good for one gallon of petrol:   Soon, it will be a Ten Spot! Follow me: It costs a little less than 10 bucks to get oil out of the ground. The 'Spot' market is ~ +$110/barrel. But, I lied saying that oil comes out of the ground - it is produced by the 'Spot' market. Get it so far? It is well known that such as Exxon have no $10 oil. (As a matter of fact, they have no oil at all!) No depletion allowances, (aka nanny government tax subsid

Diurnal Journal Of 2/28/06.

Fellow Citizens! Some of you, having not heard from me, thought I had become a member of the recently departed, and thus called to confirm that that was the case. Unfortunately, they were greatly disappointed. Some even had the temerity to ask for a return of their Golden Roman Asses - the ones they stiffed me on for the Journal. Some just could care less. No matter, I still love all y'all. Noblesse oblige, you know. Now, I shall relate what happened to me at the Saturnalia. During t

Diurinal Journal Of 7/29/05

Gentles: As I suffer Early Onset Alzheimer's, I can't recall if I told you that we are joined by a fourth brother. Stiffed me on the subscription, so he is a natural for this collection. His biography runs thus: He parks his boots in some god forsaken place called miSHH-a-gin. This land mass sits on a giant toad stool. Its main city rests on a humongous salt mine. He may be a closet neo-con. Is a devotee of Air America and Al Franken in particular. He is not ethnically acceptible.
