I am a Wordsmythe who fits in the tiny spaces at either end of bell curves.
Lots of stuff, mostly real profile elements boiled in ammonia:
Married to a Dear Sweet Wife (DSW) and we have three schmedlets (Gracie, Gladys and Guido), a variety of schmedlet associates, plus cats (Psumo, Thunderfoot, Curious Georgette and still mourning the late Chunderpuss).
I was born a congenital Republican in a state where children so afflicted were often drowned shortly after birth. If your blood-pressure rises any time you even think about Ronald Reagan, then you better take your medication.
I will tolerate reasoned, logical rebuttals but will ignore, delete or bann unmitigated flame, shame or the profane at my option.
Profanity, obscenity and extreme vulgarity is not necessary and will not be used here. It may be represented by tangental reference on occasion if I deem it to be useful.
This blog is to help me do my part to identify, examine and analyze dumb things, occasionally using tactical mispellings, textual dialect representations and always incorporating my own unique perspective and talents of obscure thought.
If you see a word misspelled, it is entirely possible that I have made an error. Most of the time it is intentional. If you have a very keen mind, you will get the point of it.
