Ice Cream Man
Today a woman caught me scratching my nuts. Well, Jimmy cracked corn, and I don’t care. Hey, it’s fu-king hot and they needed to breathe. Man, I need to lose some weight. I’m so fat that last week I was wearing red swim trunks at the pool and a bunch of kids starting yelling, “Hey, Kool-Aid.” […]
Super Freak
I’d like to begin by welcoming all of the new readers and subscribers to The Summer of Benny with a special shout-out to Morgan in KC. This weekend was tame by SOB standards as my mom came into town with my niece and nephew. My niece has been excited about her piano competition for months, so I was caught off guard when […]
It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere – Part 2
With my flip-flops gone, I could feel mud squishing between my toes as the water flowed by. I’ll admit to being a little concerned at this point. This was the first time I had ever gotten lost at a concert, walked through woods in total darkness, and fallen into a fast-moving creek. You always remember […]
It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere – Part 1

Coming soon… Dani-girl uploaded new pictures including some from Abby’s Birthday last Friday night. Dani-girl is being auctioned this Wednesday night, July 25th at Pujols 5. The festivities begin at 6:00. […]
What’s My Age Again?
Several SOB readers celebrated birthdays last week, so “Happy Belated Birthday” to Tom, John M, Bob F, and Abby. Have you ever emptied the trash can in your bathroom and realized it’s been over a month since it was last emptied because tampon wrappers came flying out, and it’s been that long since you had […]
She Blinded Me With Science
Two of the greatest inventions in our lifetimes have to be the cooler on wheels and Caller ID. Forget space age materials like titanium. I can now pull a case of beer to the pool like a Radio Flyer, and screen calls while I drink them. Sweet. Kung Fu Baby 50 Sports Bloopers Greg Warren – Flute Man Kid […]
