Purple Rain
 Why raincoats are yellow Okay, so I might have done something to Chico’s sofa last night. Actually, I think it’s my sofa, now. I’m not making light of the situation, but he was well aware of my ‘problem’ long before we moved in together. So this can’t come as a huge surprise. That’s like leaving your sack […]
Dirty Little Secret
I probably won’t post for a few days. Parties in the Plaza is tonight. And, well, then it’s the weekend. I’ll be sending updates to Facebook and Twitter from the cell phone. I forgot to mention the conversation I had at the post office yesterday. I didn’t have any stamps, so I had to wait […]
Money Don’t Matter 2 Night
 Bouncy, Bouncy It’s out of my hands now. When I saved my tax return to the hard drive last night, the file was named ‘2008 Federal Personal’. But for a second, I swore it read ‘2008 Federal Prison’.

Fortunate Son
 D: Final Answer Everything was going fine with my taxes last night. I entered my lone W-2, and TurboTax was displaying a modest refund. Then I entered a 1099, and watched the refund disappear faster than a Bernie Madoff hedge fund. I did a little math this morning, and calculated that I need to sell 1,100 SOB […]
That’s What I Love About Sunday
 Alright, so it’s not Sunday School material. But it’s timely and funny. Happy Easter. NSFW Have you ever been approached by a cab driver inside QuikTrip, and asked if you remember the time he drove your drunk ass to the racetrack? Me neither. SOB reader, John M, moved to South Korea for a year […]
New Age Girl
Why didn’t I think of that? Lent ends this weekend, and I gave up only one thing – carbs. That hasn’t gone so well. I’ve gained ten pounds over the last 40 days. The good news is I hit my high weight of 196 last Friday. Of course, this was after eating Taco Bell the […]
