I make no apologies.
Author: Richard
Having spent his entire life feeling like an outsider, Richard has recently stopped trying to fit in and accepted that he is in fact an interloper in almost every situation in which he finds himself. To the average suburbanite, his habits bemuse, his interests bore, and his opinions repel. But you can read all about it here and decide for yourself.

Mutant Blue Frog Has A Pompadour
July 19, 2024
No one is talking about this mutant blue frog’s pompadour, so I will. His name is The Big Hopper. It was either that or Buddy Polly-wog. It’s true that it has blue skin, but I want to know if anyone is working on a matching pair of suede shoes for him. He could wear them […]
That Can’t Be Right

Togassholes

We’re All Out Of Ideas
May 21, 2023
This is just unabashed, late-stage capitalism. We’ve run out of ideas, but we still got to service that debt! It might be excusable to import sand to someplace like Nebraska where beach sand might be scarce. But this jar of sand is for sale at Lowe’s, just 20 miles from the beach, where you can […]

Not So Smart Water
December 29, 2022
I’ll never understand the selective laziness of the person who goes to the trouble to leave their house, buys a bottle of water, puts forth the effort to drill a hole in the cap of the bottle, and procures a bendy straw just to drink as much water as the bendy straw can reach. Then […]
My Evening With Gallagher
November 11, 2022
My Introduction To The Comedy Stylings of Mr. Leo Gallagher I guess I was about 14 the first time I saw Gallagher. My mom and I were visiting my brother in Colorado.

Gluten-Free Wine List For Gluten-Free Wine Lovers
May 23, 2021
I know there is a lot of speculation that wine is generally gluten-free and safe for those afflicted with a sensitivity to wheat/gluten, but I’m not so sure. It should be safe being grapes, yeast, and sulfites, but it doesn’t always seem to be. Depending on who you ask, there are elements of the winemaking […]
How To Replace Mavic Air Arm: Easy DIY Guide
December 9, 2020
My DJI Mavic Air recently fell out of the sky quite unexpectedly. Its tumble to Earth left the left-rear motor smooshed and deformed and wouldn’t spin freely anymore. I didn’t even think to replace the whole arm on my Mavic Air initially. At first, I tried to see if I could simply replace the motor […]
Dentist Made Me Rawdog It, Now I Have COVID (probably)
December 2, 2020
“He was working on other patients”? My sister asked in shock and disbelief when Bonnie, my wife, told her that I had made an emergency visit to the dentist. Apparently, her dentist is such a germaphobe that he doesn’t even shake hands let alone see more than one patient at a time during this interminable […]
Book With An Old Broken Binding Gets New Life
October 27, 2020
I don’t know the history of this book or even how we came to own it. The only thing I know about the book is that Bonnie’s niece borrowed it once. Then the little tart returned it in this sorry state. It wasn’t in mint condition when she took it but for fucks sake… So […]

August 19, 2000, was a Saturday, 3 days after my 22nd birthday. I was prone to think about my adoption story and the family I never knew around this time of year but I wasn’t thinking about it at all that night. No, that night I had other things on my mind. I was a […]
