Remember that guy with the Handicap Parking sticker; my no-toes new neighbor with the attitude? Well, turns out he’s not only quick, but for a toe-less dude he can run pretty fast too! I had an opportunity to see him in action a couple days ago. Read the rest of this entry »

Handicap Parking

August 27, 2016 at 8:05 am · Filed under Crazy stuff, Food for thought, funny stuff, Some truth to it, Stories ·Tagged aliens, diabetes, funny, handicap parking, Handicap stickers, humor, neighbors, no toes

My old pal, Blue, inspired this story. He was complaining about people who ride motorized shopping carts at the grocery store and it reminded me of this little set-to I had with my neighbor last summer. Of course, I got carried away with the embellishment part of the tale, and it got longer than I intended. My apologies for that. Read the rest of this entry »

This will sound strange—especially coming from me—but when does weird cross the line?

A few years back, I was walking the dog, minding my own business, and here comes this kid walking down the sidewalk toward me… pulling a shoe. Read the rest of this entry »

By the powers not likely to be vested in me, I hereby declare this to be Today Day. Today will be dedicated and set aside to observe and celebrate the singular fact that Today is unlike any other day preceding it, or to come, and thus should receive special recognition and honor.

Oh, Rats!

Oh, rats!

The golf course in our community isn’t a bad course, but it certainly isn’t a good one. Due to some past management problems, the course has kinda gone to pot. Actually, the course “was” much to my liking, because it doesn’t get much play (except for the requisite old guys group all courses seem to have that dominate the morning hours every day) and so, I pretty much had the place to myself in the afternoons—especially when it’s hot out.

Cat and dog lovers alike will enjoy this little story. It’s mostly true, too. Except, the cat doesn’t talk, and didn’t tell the story. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

If It Feels Like…

January 8, 2015 at 8:08 am · Filed under Crazy stuff, funny stuff, Random Thoughts ·Tagged author, Charles L. Mashburn, funny, hot and humid, humor, if it looks like a duck, if it quackss like a duck, it's probably a duck, laughter, story, temperature feels like, weather, writer

So… you ask a weather forecaster what the temperature is, and he/she walks outside to see what it “feels” like? Wouldn’t their estimation be skewed by what they’re wearing at the time? I mean… if it’s 25, and they walk out there wearing a swimsuit, THEN it’s definitely gonna FEEL LIKE 18! Read the rest of this entry »

It Had to Be A Sign!

October 25, 2014 at 12:10 pm · Filed under Family, funny stuff, Mostly true, Some truth to it, Stories ·Tagged funny, good old days, humor, I can't believe you did that, it's hard to be humble, Ken Mashburn, laughter, Mac Davis, practical jokes

I was just minding my own business this morning, washing the car and listening to the country oldies station out of Houston, when a song came on that I thought had to be a sign from above. You see, I’d been thinking I needed to call my little brother, and when the Ken Mashburn anthem began to play, well… I think you can see what I mean. I just figured there was no point in delaying it any longer. (I’ll call him after he’s had time to see this post.) Click on his name to hear the song (Hint: It’s by the late great, Mac Davis.) . And any of you that know him will most heartily agree the song was written with Ken in mind.
