"My wife told me that if she catches me grabbing a beaver, it would cause my death. (Drumroll.)

Cranky Cuss commented on Linda Seccaspina's blog post Know Your Meme The Best of 2012"I hate the word "meme" - it makes me think of "me, me." I hate the word "viral" unless it's being applied to an actual disease. And 95% of what goes viral or inspires a meme usually triggers a drastic…"

For My Friend Linda

It was a cold, hard, steady rain, the kind that makes you want to go back indoors and sit by the fireplace with a brandy snifter, except I don’t have a fireplace, I don’t like brandy and I don’t know what a snifter is.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t go back inside – I had to be on the West Side of Manhattan for a meeting – so I was boarding the shuttle from Grand Central to Times Square at rush hour. The car was so crowded that I knew the woman on my left had garlic in her lunch…

Last week, I declared today Fuck Wall Street Day in my household. However, I’ve decided to “downsize” my anger and aim at just one corporation that has earned my wrath and lost my business: Starbucks.
The reason: they fired my son-in-law.
Now a lot of people get fired every…

Alexander Grant was a 19-year-old student at Boston College. Lauren Speirer was a 20-year-old college student at Indiana University. Both of them grew up within 15 minutes of where I live.
Unfortunately, that’s not the only thing they have in common.
On Saturday, March 5 of this year, Alexander Grant was spending part of his spring break visiting a friend at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. That night, after drinking beer and vodka at his friend’s…

With Jason nuking Paris (still in France), Matt blasting his crotch - both with the Big Red Buttons - and Gort nearly destroying the world of Zoomers as we know it, this coming week can only be more scary for those nice Canadians who blog here.
Oh yes, and The Cat Group don't take prisoners either....

Kenneth Sibbett said… - Thanks Cuss and welcome to Zoomers. This was such a great post. I did the same thing, but I thumbed around the country and met people of every variety and economic circumstance. It made me proud to live in this country, when I did the same thing in Europe and the people were not half as nice, at least to me, an American. (if you ever need a date to see the VanMan again, I'm with ya' my man)
