About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Shhh! I Don't Want Anyone To See Me!

My consistent,
lucid,
annotator,
Yaz 129,
brought up the wonderful comparison of me,
getting a little embarrassed,
and a little anxious,
when I spouted out,
"It's my daughter's car!"
In my story,
to that of,
being asked by my daughters,
to buy them tampons from the store.
(Read "A Dynamic Father" and you'll see why.)
Raising four of them,
daughters that is,
I have gone to the store,
to buy tampons,
on more then one occasion.
It was about a year ago,
that I swore I would never do it again when,
at the time,
I went in line,
at the 15 items or less aisle,
and plopped down a large,
72 count bag of tampons.
Trying to look cool to the attractive,
twenty something,
checkout girl,
she immediately looks me in the eye and says,
"That is really embarrassing.
I can't even go to the checkout and buy tampons for myself in front of other people.
I check out in the self serve aisle!"
Of course I have gone back since then,
shamefully,
with my tail between my legs,
to buy tampons for my girls.
Now,
I buy smaller bags of tampons,
hide them under other groceries,
and I use the self serve check out aisle!
And man,
do I look cool now!

This is the proud Papa of four girls Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
- Robert A. Heinlein -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
