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!

Rubbing For Good Luck

I have stated,
more than once,
how I like to start the weekend off,
by being funny on my
Friday Posts.
Last week,
I did a piece,
which made fun of our
President.
Which,
in hindsight,
I still think was very funny.
But,
whatever galvanizes people around a
Political Leader,
people have a hands off approach to
Donald Trump
as
President.
No matter if you are for
or against him.
History has shown though,
since the time of
Benjamin Franklin's
printing press in
Boston,
Political Cartoons & Satire
has been a
"Main Stay"
for humor.
And I am not talking about the foremast on a sailing ship here either.
Get it,
"Main Stay."
It's part of a sailing ship.
Okay,
some jokes just aren't that funny.
But,
is there a place in our laugh box for observational humor as well?
That is the question I would like to explore today.
By this picture alone,
you might think I would try to make fun of ancient man wearing dresses.
Or that men were pretty girlie when fashion consisted of adding a feather whenever you could.
These are not the sarcastic points of view I am going for,
as you observe this quick history of fashion.
There is a stigma for
Men,
just like there has always been for
Women.
Men's
heads are ugly compared to a
Woman's,
so we naturally cover it up!

My best friend
Scott
and I were going bald at the same time,
at the same speed.
It did not matter though,
because when we would put our heads together,
we could really make an ass out of ourselves!

And besides,
God
made a lot of beautiful heads in this
World,
but the ones he didn't like,
he covered up!

This is,
Bald Is Beautiful
And Not Just For Rubbing For Good Luck Either,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,
This is the hat I see in all of our futures.
“For no matter what the world, men who deal in head-wear are men to be trusted above any other.”
- Frank Beddor -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
