They Don’t Write ‘Em Like That Anymore 2008-06-09 01:30:59 Nukeboy1 has been blinded by the light. Well, sort of. He has taken up the guitar for the second time. The first time was 2 years ago when he was 8. This time he’s a little more serious about it. His turnabout can be explained in one compound word: Rockband. He got it for Christmas, [...] Read more:Write
Is This Thing On? Hello? Anyone? Bueller? Adler? Fry? Fry? 2008-06-09 15:51:56 As some of you have no doubt noticed, my sidebar went to a rave and got ahold of some bad blotter acid, or something. Nothing I’ve tried has fixed the situation. So; since this theme has a history of bad behavior, missed curfews and snarky back-talking, it is grounded for a month. It will not [...] Read more:Thing

Big Word Wednesday-Week 10 2008-06-11 21:23:27 In honor of my 13th wedding anniversary tomorrow, I thought we would pick a couple of words that would fit in with this weeks BWW sign, and the theme of Las Vegas weddings. See; NukeMom and I got married in Las Vegas. June 12th, 1995; the day we started our life together. It was a year to [...] Read more:Wednesday
The Return Of A Virus Named Bob 2008-06-13 22:31:41 I’ve talked about our little house guest before. If You don’t remember Bob, read this first. Go on. I’ll wait. OK; back? What did you think? Crafty little S.O.B. isn’t he? Well, he brought a friend with him this time. He smuggled him in through the one thing that was designed to protect us: medicine. [...] Read more:Return
A Father’s Final Act Of Grace 2008-06-14 23:01:33 I remember distinctly where I was the moment my father died. I was 30,000 feet in the air, somewhere over Western Mississippi or Eastern Arkansas. I was in a deep sleep due to overwork and stress from my father’s rapidly deteriorating condition. It had been a rough two days; trying to decide what to do, [...] Read more:Father

Would You Like Some Mustard On That Crow Sandwich? 2008-06-16 00:45:09 Wow. What a great day this turned out to be! I woke up to find a ton (for me, at least) of comments on my Father’s Day post; linky love from Mr. Lady at Whiskey In My Sippy Cup and Melisa at Suburban Scrawl, and then I got TrampledUpon StumbledUpon. It’s been a busy day. To top it [...] Read more:Sandwich

Alright smarty-pants, NukeDad has taken the Nuclear Family to the Redneck Riviera for some sun-n-fun. While they’re paying $8 a piece for sodas (same-day refills only $2!) and eating Calabash by the wagon-load, you’ve got some homework. Get out your keyboards and listen up! Your homework assignment is to create a paragraph using at least 6 words [...] Read more:Wednesday
Careful With That Punctuation, Sport 2008-06-27 01:20:32 Apparently Dr. Isaid No has returned from the dank slums of Eastern Europe. I was talking to Mr. and Mrs. AP the other day and they told me there had been a Doc sighting in the neighborhood. It was more than a sighting, actually, it was a full-blown encounter. Mr. & Mrs. AP did some spring [...] Read more:Careful

Big Word Wednesday-Week 11 2008-06-25 22:50:05 Well, at least this counts as 2 contests: the first and the last. Tom at Being Michaels Daddy is the winner of the BWW POP QUIZ, as he was the only entrant. Congratulations Tom! Your bucket of genuine Myrtle Beach sand is on the way. I have a feeling that Tom would have won regardless [...] Read more:Wednesday
The Narcoleptic Labrador 2008-06-24 02:05:45 My neighbors dog is killing me. It barks incessantly. But ONLY at night. Usually between the hours of 2am and 5am. I think it suffers from daytime narcolepsy. Barring a poisoned pork chop; I’m running out of options. I have several that I can still employ, but the pork chop is looking better and better.

Redneck Riviera Memoirs 2008-06-21 02:52:08 We made it home in one piece! No “travel” issues either, unless you count $4 a gallon gasoline or the sunburned tops of my feet. I know, I know; but I had my sandals on, I can’t be expected to remember EVERYTHING! Well, sandals won’t be an issue for a few days. Nor will any [...] Read more:Redneck

Mr. Forrest Robinson Gump’s Neighborhood 2008-07-11 12:52:31 I love a good story. I remember hearing exotic tales as a kid and imagining myself in those situations. Situations like rescuing people trapped in a car that is perched perilously over the guardrail of a bridge. At the last second, I pull the victims from the car just as it plummets to the ground [...] Read more:Robinson

Big Word Wednesday-Week 13 2008-07-09 19:36:30 We have the perfect word for our thirteenth installment of Big Word Wednesday
. Triskaidekaphobia. Trivia buffs know that it means; an abnormal fear of the number 13. We dedicate this word to all of the triskaidekaphobics who screamed; “DON”T PUT ME ON THE 13th FLOOR!” at the Marriott booking agent. The bliss of enjoying their 2 week [...]
Adventuretainment 2008-07-08 16:57:50 We took a day trip to the Natural Science Center over the weekend. The Nukekids loved it. We’ve been there before, but each time we go back they have new things to see. I got to show off my big brain in the “puzzle room” when Nukeboy1 asked me how to balance 14 nails on [...]
Luther: The Squirrel That Thought He Could Fly 2008-07-05 22:09:31 This is getting a little ridiculous. You’ve read stories here before about the animals in the neighborhood and their proficiency for doing things that might prompt a visit from Mulder and Scully. Here’s another one. The neighborhood all gathered at Mr. and Mrs. AP’s house yesterday for a 4th of July cookout. Burgers, hot dogs, baked [...] Read more:Luther

I’ll Never Understand 2008-07-03 23:17:36 I just found out yesterday that a friend who used to live next door to me committed suicide by cop. After hearing about what had been going on in his life, I can almost see why he would make such a desperate decision. He had an outstanding warrant for theft, and he knew it; so when [...] Read more:Understand
Big Word Wednesday-Week 12 2008-07-02 22:58:23 Quick and easy this week. Manager Mom suggested onus. I said OK. It’s not too big of a word, but it’s a fun word. It means; a difficult or disagreeable obligation, task, burden, etc., and it is pronounced “own-us”. As in: “Man, they own us in this game!” Kind of like THE (the pretentious butt-heads [...] Read more:Wednesday
Coming Soon To A Theatre Near You…Maybe 2008-07-01 17:41:47 I don’t know if it’s bad blog etiquette to out your lurkers or not, but I just had a twinge of a million dollar fantasy flash before my eyes!

The Nukiesburg Address 2008-07-22 23:31:53 On the occasion of my birthday, I thought it proper to let my Mom know that I get it now. All those times when she said; “Wait til you have kids of your own” now take on a new meaning. Getting run over by a Mack truck would have been more subtle, but, I get [...] Read more:Address
Rock Me Like A Hurricane 2008-07-21 22:31:00 Love Drive, Loving You Sunday Morning, The Zoo, Blackout, No One Like You, Big City Nights, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Still Loving You. Recognize those? Some of them? They’re all songs by the German rock band Scorpions. This was the band who’s lead singer learned English by SINGING it. No lie. That’s why you [...]
Seventh Inning Kvetch 2008-07-20 21:28:23 Nukeboy2 won a drawing a week ago. The prize was 4 tickets to the local ballpark to watch Minor League baseball at it’s finest. He was also designated to throw out the first pitch. Being that the only thing he has ever pitched with frequency and efficiency is fits, we went to work directly. We [...]
Newsweek Had Their Chance 2008-07-17 19:15:07 Cool! I’ve been asked to be a contributor over at scrivel.com. It’s a humor website that has a collective of writers. Kind of like the Borg, but without all of the annoying electronic body mutations. I am presently 22 of 22. My number will change as we add to the collective. Assimilate or die!

Big Word Wednesday-Week 14 2008-07-16 22:58:02 Quick edition today. Tara over at If Mom Says OK suggested our first word this week. It is omphaloskepsis; meaning contemplation of one’s navel as part of a mystical exercise. If you’re into Yoga you would do this. However, in today’s vernacular it has translated itself into describing someone who is self-absorbed; a navel-gazer. Hollywood [...] Read more:Wednesday
Why Does Spandex Come In XXL? 2008-07-14 22:31:15 This picture has obviously been photo-shopped, but it’s apparent that the girl is overly blessed in the chest without the photo-shop help, and it brings up a good point. At what point do you need to be told that something you’re wearing just isn’t attractive? For example; I’ve gained enough weight over the last few years [...] Read more:Spandex
Big Word Wednesday-Week 17 2008-08-13 02:08:41 BWW returns after a 1 week sabbatical. In recognition of the Olympics, we’ll feature some words that are influenced either by China or the Olympics. Seemed like a simple enough plan, until I started looking for big words exclusive to the Olympics and China. So, rather than big words, we’ll just give you some interesting [...] Read more:Wednesday
