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!

The Right Of Passage

The Right Of Passage
One definition I saw says,
"As teenagers transition from childhood to adulthood, they naturally engage in behaviors that can sometimes be perceived as dumb or risky, especially by adults
. These behaviors, often amplified by peer pressure and a developing brain, can be seen as attempts to explore their independence, test boundaries, and establish a sense of self and belonging outside of their family structure."
I think that sums it up pretty well.

Of all the dumb stuff I did as a child, there is only one that I can laugh about now because I thought kids today would be missing out on it.
Licking The Nine-Volt Battery!
I was shocked when I licked the battery on my ND - Page 2 - MX-5 Miata Forum 
    Good news for all you parents out there in the world who never needed an alkaline battery because everything you own uses a lithium battery.

      Yes, the brand we all know so well has come up with a series of nostalgic tastes that will help us go down memory lane.
