MJE just read the announcement that amazon prime members may now have orders delivered directly to their cars! As I interpret it, you download an app onto your cell phone and when the delivery man is within 2 blocks of your car he opens “the trunk” and drops your stuff right in there. He thenContinue reading “unlocked and unloaded”

charm offensive
I know MJE constantly whines about customer service agents, but this time I am giving kudos to not only whoever penned this beauty but also the poor souls who are required to answer incoming calls with this greeting… Agent: How may I charm you today? MJE: Huh? Agent: How may I charm you today? ThatContinue reading “charm offensive”
lunch meat madness
What is it with old geezers who seem to think they, and the rest of us, have all the time in the world when they dodder over to the grocery store. And puhleeze, don’t get on your high horses about the dignity of our elders and how MJE should be respectful. First off, have theseContinue reading “lunch meat madness”
family tree
Politics, gun violence, russia and porn stars have worn me out so I will turn to another soul deadening topic, family. MJE tends to roam alone with the OB&C as an occasional traveling companion. Perfection. However, once a year I am burdened with one of the fragments of flotsam floating in my familial gene poolContinue reading “family tree”
be still thy beating heart
MJE and the OB&C keep an apartment in the big sleazy for reasons that are 1000% legit.business. First off, the apartment is the registered worldwide headquarters of our small intestinal bug biz.

MJE and the OB&C have long since stopped walking the avenue mardi gras morning, although I do miss running into many of theContinue reading “it’s carnival time, again”
like, genius in chief
The conald, during his “executive time” watching fox and friends had someone read him exerpts of the scathing new book about the dysfunctional trump white house and the low regard with which his staff and cabinet members regard his intellect. He countered that he is a genius or in his words, “like, really smart,” furthermoreContinue reading “like, genius in chief”
fired and furious
It is never wise to turn your back on a poison toad (genus bufo) or to lick his back for that matter. Toads are notoriously vengeful and easily slighted. They are particularly sensitive to comments about their personal appearance, warts specifically, as well as their grooming habits. Any criticism of their intellect, strategic political acumen,Continue reading “fired and furious”
a totally positive 2018!
MJE tends to lean to the dark side in life but decided to start 2018 with some awesome positive predictions for the new year: Totally positive: That congress will work diligently in a bipartisan effort to annihilate the other side. That the OB&C will wear his pajamas inside out every other day, trust me onContinue reading “a totally positive 2018!”
the trump interview
I saw that prince harry has just interviewed president obama and it occurred to MJE that an interview with the conald might make for an interesting contrast… ph: Good morning mr president thank you for agreeing to this interview. dt: No problem. Now that I have single handedly passed the biggest most phenomenal tax cutContinue reading “the trump interview”
