Castles Made of Sand: Old King Coal

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/old-king-coal_6.html

Thursday, August 6, 2015. To all my vegetarian friends, may I steer you to another blog. Nothing you will read beyond this sentence will be of interest; I'll stake my reputation as an avowed carnivore on it. He cooked steaks directly on hot coals! When you cook steaks on a grate above the heat source, the space between the hot coals and the grate itself serves an an oxygen source, and there's where you get your flare-ups. This way, no flareups. And no greasy grate to scrub later! Then load the old kettle...

Castles Made of Sand: Safety First

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/safety-first.html

Friday, August 14, 2015. George Bernard Shaw said, "Youth is wasted on the young." I can tell you about one youth who almost wasted the rest of his summer, if not his life, just yesterday afternoon. A) this kid can't be stupid enough to roll right onto Avondale Road without checking to see if anything is coming. B) better hit the brakes! This kid is clearly that stupid. Suddenly he saw me! I think he was totally shaken up as he yanked out the earphones and picked up his board. I know I was. And as I drov...

Castles Made of Sand: Get The Truck Out Of Here

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/get-truck-out-of-here.html

Monday, August 10, 2015. Get The Truck Out Of Here. I am making the conscious decision to watch and read less news, because after following world events all my life, now, in my dotage, it is dawning on me that. What's going on doesn't give me the power to. So I'm planning to do a lot less with Alex Wagner and a lot more with Honus Wagner. Why is Toyota not using these men to endorse their legendarily tough Tacomas and Tundras? Because their truck needed a hotshot? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Castles Made of Sand: July 2015

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. The Biggest Story of the Mall. All I know about the Hollister stores is that I don't shop there. I went there once to buy a gift card for a friend considerably younger, and I remember the staff looking at me as if I were there to commit an armed robbery, or, worse, try to be cool. The whole Hollister story is all made up! To quote from the article:. Eggers writes that a man named Mike Jeffries concocted this entire story to build an aura of surf 'n' sun 'n' California fun for his s...

Castles Made of Sand: August 2015

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 31, 2015. Cheapskate that I am, I am always looking to save a dollar so I can double my vast fortune. And we love peanut butter around here, so I make sure to buy the BA jars of Skippy (there might as well be no other brand). I use plastic because I have no clay jars. (That would make a great DJ fake name, though: "Just about 5 o'clock on your way home with The Beatles on WXXX! This is Clay Jars with ya.") They had clay jars way back in the day, though. Let's go back to the days of...But w...

Castles Made of Sand: Oh, Fooey!

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/oh-fooey.html

Monday, August 3, 2015. Dave Grohl, leader and founder of the band known as Foo Fighters, was born just a couple of months before I was graduated from high school, so it's not surprising that most of the records I like were recorded before he was born, and I can't really count myself a fan of his music for purely generational reasons. And he's doing fine without my support, so it's all good. Smokey and Chief Nutt. Holman peppered the strip with tiny pictures of sight gags and outrageous puns, and that is...

Castles Made of Sand: On a role

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-role.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. So there I was with Peggy and our friend, watching "Horrible Bosses," and laughing like Donald Trump's hairdresser when the question of who played the part of Bobby Pellitt came up. The two women in the room said, "Oh, that's Colin Farrell! In my wisdom, I said it couldn't be Colin Farrell, and suggested it might be Hugh O'Brian or Regis Philbin, but a quick check of the Wikipedia showed me they were right (women always are) and I was wrong (see above). And did a great job in each.

Castles Made of Sand: Lest ye Be Judged

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/lest-ye-be-judged.html

Thursday, August 13, 2015. Lest ye Be Judged. Considering that only one person I know is in perfect physical condition (and you know who you are, don't you! I guess it's fair to say that most of us who slog along life's pathways are not doing that slogging in the best of shape. So what if she is? As we used to say on the playground, this is a conversation between A and B, so can you C your way out of it? If you're wondering why he sat right down and wrote that nasty letter, well, so am I, except that I'm...

Castles Made of Sand: We've been having fun

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015/08/weve-been-having-fun.html

Friday, August 7, 2015. We've been having fun. They really used to do this! They" being record companies and. Their star artists, and "this" being releasing songs all about summer. Think about it, and you can't come up with too many any more. There was "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock, and even that hit from the '00s saluted two hit songs of the '70s, "Werewolves of London" (Warren Zevon). And "Sweet Home Alabama" (. Brian Wilson and Mike Love wrote it. And you can enjoy the words as you listen:. Every now ...

Castles Made of Sand: April 2015

http://trulyregalmanners.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Someday, a long long time from now, when we who tread earth and water get to meet our ancestors in the clouds, I have no doubt that the cooler among those of us who Went Before will smile at us and say how lucky we were to have lived in the age of Bananarama. For three years, the threesome was rounded out by Siobhan-substitute Jacquie O'Sullivan, but since 1991, it's just been Sara and Keren making the music. To be regarded as deep and intellectual,. Can you even imagine how gre...
