Who is H.D.? That couldn’t be that famous poet Hugh Dalton, could it? No that is Hugh Blanton, the poet for the ages. His book — A Home to Crouch In — is making its way across America

I went to scratch my left ear
And it wasn’t there
Just a gob of dried blood
I didn’t care.
I went to scratch my nose
And it was there
So I got to wondering
Why my nose is still there
Yet my ear is torn off.

I just love that word — fetching — Ida did some Gunsmokes too.

On Tuesday? That’s tomorrow right? Boy I could go for one of those frozen margaritas. They are super when they come out that machine, yum.

23 and 3 — that is plenty impressive.

Growing up a Cubs fan, Harry Caray and all, WGN with most of the games, all of the games on the radio. I’ve changed my allegiance. I’m now a Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddux man and I’m picking the Texas Rangers to go all the way.

You shouldn’t drink beer either ways as it is a really bad habit. Sometimes I feel actually supportive of reinstating Prohibition. The world would be better without beer in it. Now that is completely insane. What, you want all us alcoholics to slug vodka as soon as we wake up and have to drink hard...

But hey Man, I am for Freedom Of Speech. You say what you want to say. Give it all you got. That is all you can do, give it all you got, or at least part of what you got. Might save a little bit for later.

You sure know a lot about Mulvaney. That is telling. Tells that I know what I'm talking about. Your remark is just yet one more example of how, when you and your kind have nothing valid to use apart from emotional prejudice, you and they always go to the personal attack. Pathetic. Intrepid —. I am ...

I believe that all this GLBT, or however it goes, is on par with Dave Chappelle’s caustic and terrific sense of social workings that he uses for humor. If we can make fun of ourselves, quit taking everything so serious, take a step back, laugh a little bit, life is a carnival, believe it or not.

I like beer but it is too expensive. I enjoy Scotch but can get cheaper Canadian Whiskey. You are right about that jimimac, beer is expensive. All those old saws about a beer budget are long gone. I moved to vodka after I swore to myself I would never move to vodka. But I am a fool for a cold sixte...

What is the meaning of ‘groomers’? Between Laffite and all I feel like I should go back to school or buy an up to date dictionary.

Fill me in a little Intrepid, if you can or will, about this Budweiser backlash. I’m not clear on it. Is it Bud Light, and what happened? Why should anybody care what brand of beer is bought? What does beer have to do with anything? I would think the boys would be concentrating on the hard, since th...

Okay, good.

Do me a favor and make sure you drink bud in public. And make sure people can see you buying it. [/quote] Why wouldn’t I? What has changed? Nothing has changed. The Budweiser recipe has not changed. You crack one open and it’s the same. I get the impression that there is some kind of image problem. ...
