My current spouse put a tray of vegetables in the downstairs fridge last Friday night.

And Here We Have Idaho…Falls

by Clarence Worly February 2, 2010

Since many of we locals don’t have a whole lot to beat our chests about when it comes to monetary gain or land ownership or careers, bragging rights about how long your family has been in Idaho Falls is of the utmost importance to the many circles of one-uppers sitting around playing Texas Hold ‘em [...]

Tattoos…The Best Way to Express Individuality

by Clarence Worly January 25, 2010

It seems the economy is still in a tail spin since voters activated the ejection seat on the GWB crew and gambled on a new pilot to pull out an 11th hour maneuver to keep us all from pile driving into financial terra firma. Sadly, with every yank on the control stick we tax payers [...]

Bringing Back Brand Name Loyalty:

by Clarence Worly January 21, 2010

I’m a pickup guy, not that there is anything wrong with sedans or SUVs or sport coups, I just prefer to drive a vehicle that has the ability to carry large heavy stuff, you know, just in case. I was driving home from dinner at Red Lobster last week in my trusty ’98 Dodge [...]

Identifying The Smarmy

by Clarence Worly January 20, 2010

I‘m middle-aged, I’m over-weight, I’m narrow-minded and I’m afraid of what I don’t understand. While most voters in Idaho and Utah would consider these traits essential for any elected office, they have proved to be somewhat problematic for me at times. My complete lack of social grace, my irreverence for all I don’t respect and [...]

Concealed Weapons…Catnip For The Paranoid

by Clarence Worly January 19, 2010

Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows we would all be safer as a society with fewer firearms. The problem is, short of kicking in the doors of every citizen (law abiding and criminal) in the United States and forcibly retrieving these guns, there is no way in hell to control or regulate the [...]

Harry Reid…

by Neal Larson January 11, 2010

I‘m just wondering what all of you are making of the Harry “No Negro Dialect” Reid comments.
Like many, I find the double standard more than irritating. If a prominent Republican had said this, can you imagine how the left would have responded?
Should he resign as Majority Leader for his comments?
Are these comments better/worse than what [...]

by Snapper of Towels December 31, 2009

In the good old days, when a shopping cart had completed its mission, it squeaked its way back to the store. But then the “Return Your Cart Here” areas started popping up and shopping carts have been getting lazier and lazier ever since.
