Hello, imonks, and welcome to the weekend. Ready to ramble? First, let’s get the heavy news out of the way.  Thursday is what the internet (or at least social media) was made for. First, we had #the dress. It seems, by some quirk of biology that I don’t understand (I grew up Baptist) two people canContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings, February 28, 2015”

Hello, imonks, and welcome to the weekend.  Ready to ramble?

Hello, imonks, and welcome to the weekend. First, some sporting news.  The Superb Owl is set: The Seattle Seahawks will attempt to defend their crown from the New England Patriots.  The Patriots had a little controversy after their blow-out over the Colts: Deflate-gate (hey look, a”gate” controversy that actually rhymes!)

Hello, imonks, and welcome to the weekend.  Ready to ramble? Make the Bible the State Book?  A bill in Mississippi (expected to pass) would do just that.  The article notes, “Lawmakers say designating the Bible as the state book would be completely symbolic and nobody would be required to read it.” So, basically it wouldContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings, January 17, 2015”

Hello, imonks, and welcome to the weekend.  Let’s do some rambling! NFL wisdom:  “It’s like you look at a girl who looks like you, and you find out it’s your cousin, so you can’t go on a date with her even though you’d like to, because she looks like you. But then you see herContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings, January 10, 2015”

Welcome to the weekend, imonkers.  Actually, welcome to the New Year.  Just in case you weren’t feeling old enough, remind yourself that we are now as close to 2040 as we are to 1990.
