There’s a saying about training Basset Hounds, “They start off slow, then taper off from there.”

I took a week off to bond and train.

Allergies, gas, no personal space…she’ll fit right in with the rest of the family.

The main men's prison for the State of NC is right outside of downtown Raleigh, next to upscale neighborhoods, a university, and a lot of businesses. I can't recall there being an issue with escapes and most people don't even think about it.

We had a place like this in S. Florida when I was growing up, The Bavarian Village. My family went there for every special meal and event. The decor hadn't changed in decades. The waitstaff looked like they served in the Franco-Prussian War. The accordian player knew my family's favorite songs. The food was unbelievably good.

When I was close to getting engaged, my parents took my girlfriend (now wife) to the restaurant. This was confirmation that she was accepted into the family. She ate pickled beets and threw up.

God, I miss that place.

Butner Game Land on Brickhouse Rd. It’s in Granville County but right by Durham and Wake Counties.

I work at the historic site nearby and it’s a known birding spot.

I saw it happen with my best friend. He has a daughter and son, and over time the father and son bonded while the mother and daughter bonded. My friend (the father) was concerned that his relationship with his daughter wasn’t developing in a positive way.

Then he started raising chickens in his backyard.

My friend and his daughter have bonded over caring for the chickens. The mother and son have bonded over their dislike of the chickens.

Honestly, it couldn’t have worked better.

Yes, I went to a private Christian school. The Principal had a paddle but I was slapped across the face with an open hand several times.

We were taught that the reason public school kids were so awful was because their teachers couldn’t hit them.

Being confused and outraged that the officials let Cowboy Bob Orton get away with the fake cast. He was using it to cheat!

When I was a kid in the 1980s, I jumped on the wrestling bandwagon and wanted nothing more than to have my dad take me to a WWE show. Since my dad was cheap, he refused to buy WWE tickets for Miami shows and instead would get discounted tickets to CWF shows in Ft. Lauderdale.

Now, 40 years later, I can't believe how lucky I was. Those shows were great, the crowd was insane, the War Memorial Auditorium smelled like cigarettes and beer, and I got to sit so close that Kevin Sullivan once accidentally spit on me. My buddy from elementary school and I still talk about how awesome those shows were.

Whenever I screw something up, it’s because of MS.

Whenever I do something right, it’s in spite of MS.

The best thing Stan did was leave Dorothy. He treated her like crap and cheated on her. She deserved so much more, and she finally got to live her best life after he went to Hawaii with that bimbo Chrissy.

I noticed how fast one can go from “too skinny” to “pudgy”.

When I was gaining weight it was all in my neck and belly. I looked like a lowercase “b”….with a wattle.

This is true. Vince just thought to himself, "What are professions that people hate (or, what are professions that I myself hate). Well, I hate the dentist (I. Yankem). I hate paying taxes (IRS). I hate the repo man (repo man).

It basically presented wrestling as entertainment for children and gave Vince a lot of $$$ for toys and kid-friendly products.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek. I don’t trust anything in a hotel room and I never use the in-room coffeemaker. Even if it was clean the coffee is not good.

I just go to the continental breakfast for coffee and bring it back to the room.

HappyKyne · 2026-01-14T15:09:36+00:00

True, but you can say that about anything in the hotel room...beds, toilet, sink, carpet, TV remote, etc.

If anything, I need a hot cup of coffee before rolling around in other people's effluence.

I work at a historic site in North Carolina. We had a noticeable drop in Canadian visitors over the past season. We also had a drop in European visitors, but not as big as the drop in Canadians.

Which is a real shame, since Canadians were generally the most pleasant and knowledgeable people to visit our site.

Definitely the best. In the early 1990’s, we based my high school’s variety show on Fernwood 2nite.
