About Me

My photo
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!

Answering Those Questions That You Never Knew You Wanted To Ask - III

So you have been coming to this
Blog
for the past couple of years,
or you might be new to this website,
but after reading some of the material that I write,
you say to yourself;
"If Two Buck Howie can do it, why can't I?"
 Well I have the perfect solution for you.
And,
if you are any good at it,
you will get printed in their
Newspaper & Website
alike!

The Quest For Human-Interest Stories.
by FRANK TAYLOR, Managing Editor for Lincoln Times-News
“We need to get more human-interest stories in the paper.” Newspaper editors hear that one frequently. The exact words may vary a little: “I’ve got some good news for you to print in the paper for a change. A lot of people who come to the newspaper with “human-interest” tips have stories we want to hear and share. They come bearing tales that tell themselves, not needing any special pleading. This term “human interest” gets thrown about so much that it’s almost empty of meaning. According to the popular Wikipedia website (as it stood on Friday), “In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest or sympathy in the reader or viewer.”

It doesn't say anything about being paid for it,
but what the hey,
you need to start somewhere.

I am glad you've asked me this next question.
I think it is an important one.
"Two Buck Howie. You live on the west coast. What can I have laying around the house if an Earthquake occurs while I'm living on the West coast?"
The solution? 
Earthquake Kit 4 Person Deluxe Home Honey Bucket Survival Emergency.

by Mayday Industries Price: $78.98 + $21.01 shipping on Amazon.com
Yes,
the center piece is a bucket with a toilet seat on it,
with a lid.
You just can't leave home without it!
(I can't believe they added one cent to the shipping cost.)

This is,
Buying A New Toilet Seat,
Bucket,
And Plastic Garbage Bags For A Lot Cheaper,
Hopefully Before The Earthquake Hits,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of disease, and agonies of the soul, but all the time his most tormenting tragedy has been, is, and will always be, the tragedy of the bedroom.”
- Leo Tolstoy -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
