[It doesn’t seem much like it today, but Happy Bad Joke Friday anyway! Here’s one I just heard (actually saw online) that may even pertain (to much of the country): “It’s so cold today, I actually saw a Democrat with his hands in his own pockets.” đ I should sell that one to⊠whichever of...

[“Blade Gunner”? So, eh? Whatever happened to Oscar Pistorius? Got Pist once too often? Or ‘e yuss⊠forgot who he was living with? What the roommate smelled like even? What??? He “thinks” he’s being invaded by some UNKNOWN INTRUDER at o’dark-thirty in the mourning WHO LETS HERSELF IN WITH A KEY??? He then EMPTIES...
What Ever Happened To […] #1020
[Hey! We’re all still alive today! So, welcome to BJF–and I mean, REALLY Bad Joke Friday. Damn Mayo (Mayonnaise?) peeps had us BS’d for over a thousand years. Or, something like that. Of course, I’m 800 and don’t remember. I never did pay any mind to “Mayans,” although methinks someone just re-minded that “Maya” is...
What Ever Happened To […] #1019
[Welcome to Bad Joke Friday, and to antiquity. Today’s joke, or rather subject matter, has to do with something we all were born with–some of us a loooong long time ago. Our ancestors were born with it (them) too. It’s hard to say just who was in power when that scene all changed, but...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 9 – “Commando”
[Actually, despite what another lister posted yesterday about THAT day being âBad Joke Friday,â itâs TODAY that is our often highly touted BJFâwhich a few of us know and love, but almost all of us, apparently, havenât missed. Â So let me do my part to try to revive it. Â The following conversation actually had its...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 8 – “Grape!” [Part 2]
[Continued from Part 1] STRAW: Oh YASSS! I take⊠and I⊠slowly⊠calmlyâaâ corse my tickerâs poundin’ away inside my chest and my you-know-what’s acting like a tent pole⊠so Iâm arching up like a carport⊠and⊠EDDIE: âŠyou slip the grape in? STRAW: Yup! EDDIE: Cool! So, howâs it taste? STRAW: At this point,...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 8 – “Grape!” [Part 1]
[Sorry to have been away last week. I was simply doing myself what all these goofy characters are supposed to be doing: RUNNING. I went to Peoria, Illy-noise, which I like to refer to as Pee-Town, and ran a footrace there. And THIS is all you need to know about THAT. It was horrible. I...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 7 – “Trouser Snakes”
[Think of me as your âfly on the wall.â I buzz around coffeehouses and breakfast nooks listening to all you amazing (and tired) ultra-long-distance runners COMPLAINâafter finishing your long runs on weekend morningsâabout stuff⊠like flies. Think of me also as having a fly-sized tape recorder. Hmmm⊠do they still even make âtape recordersâ? Anyway,...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 6 – “Cheats”
[Live from Chi-Town: âItâs BAD JOKE FRIDAY NIGHT!!!â And then thereâs this: I feel I donât owe any more grateful acknowledgements to playwright and screenwriter David Mamet. His funny-sex-dialogue shtick that âinspired meâ only lasted for one scene of one play (âSexual Perversity in Chicagoâ); my shtick is continuing ad infinitum. Hah. In case you...
Ultra Relationship News – No. 5 – “Oh Cee Dee”
[Sorry for the week off, but at this time during last weekâs âBad Joke Friday,â I was taking on some real heat along a footrace course in New Jersey. Totally uncharacteristically, NJ was HOT AS HELL last weekend, and some kind folks were wondering why I chose THAT, instead of sitting in air-conditioning and writing...
