Philadelphians and Zombies
by Ronald A. Rowe February 17th, 2012 | Humor, Ponderings
OK, I know this only applies to viewers of AMC’s amazing The Walking Dead, but did you see Sunday’s episode? When the two creepy scuzzballs (that’s a technical term) walked into the bar, you just knew they were trouble. They never actually said anything menacing, but you just knew they were bad guys from the very first word. It took me a minute to realize that it was the accent. Then it came out - they were from Philadelphia - home of all things unsavory (also the home of cheesesteaks, which are very savory)! Evil undertones explained. Next week,
Super Bowl Commercials
by Ronald A. Rowe February 10th, 2012 | Humor, Ponderings
The Super Bowl is the most watched event on television. It is the one time all year when people are absolutely glued to their TV sets in real time. Nobody recorded the game and watched it later at their leisure. And yet it is the one day of the year when the commercials are worth watching. Who came up with this plan? They could show scratchy black and white Folgers commercials from 1938 and we’d still watch. Yet the other 364 days a year – the days when We the Viewers either get up and go to the bathroom
Tom Brady Smartest Man in the World
by Ronald A. Rowe February 8th, 2012 | Humor, Ponderings
Tom Brady was despondent after his New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI this week. So much so that my lovely wife, and millions of other women all across the fruited plain, was feeling sorry for him.
Brady -- big pathetic loser that he is -- will have to console himself with his $100 million. He'll have to find some some comfort in the fact that he never has to worry about money, ever. Or his three Super Bowl rings. Or this throngs of adoring fans. Or his feisty super-model wife. Yep, poor Tom

Big Questions
by Jane Wangersky January 26th, 2012 | Funny Pics, Humor, Ponderings
"Sometimes, it's nice to relax in the park and think about the mysteries of our universe. Like . . . why don't we build park benches we don't have to climb up? Why are rocks and blades of grass so big? Why are animals made of nylon and humans made of wood? Is it time to get a new coat of varnish? Is anyone going to come with a ladder, or should I just jump and try to land on Rover?"
Debate Etiquette
by Ronald A. Rowe January 11th, 2012 | Giggle Chuckle Party, Humor, Ponderings
Am I the only one that noticed that Newt Gingrich said at the Republican debate Saturday night he would have been at home watching the College Basketball Championship if he hadn't been there? And two of his competitors chipped in that he really meant "watching the college football championship," which is exactly what they would have been doing on that fateful Saturday night?
The debate was Saturday. The game - and, yes, it's football, not basketball - was Monday.
You see where I'm going with this, right? Do you want a president who doesn't even know when the BCS National Championship
