We here at Casa del Hokeyhausen began our passionate love affair with bacon-infused bourbon earlier this year, and it’s become something of a seasonal favorite. It’s a most delicious concoction that takes the best of so many possible worlds and combines them into a wholly singular experience that can be best described as couch-destroyingly-awesome. [And…
(Post title courtesy of one G. Costanza) This is a fascinating article… In my search for information about marathon running, I came across this New Yorker story about Kip Litton (magnificently written by Mark Singer), a Michigan dentist who apparently cheated his way to the top of several 26.2 mile runs. The Marathon details are…
Why are some of these Ultra Conservatives so dead-set hardcore on redefining “rape”? As if “rape” is some nebulously derived concept, recently ripped from George Soros’s hard drive and used to secretly fund Planned Parenthood or something. Are they totally fucking high? Are they indulging their inner fears and hatred of women? Are they actively…
Egypt erupted into civil conflict as Mubarak cracked down on his people and all we heard from the “rebels” was ‘Where is the world? Where is America??’ Same with Libya and Ghadafi. ‘Why isn’t America helping??’ Then at the first opportunity these animals storm our embassy and slaughter our citizens. FUCK THESE PEOPLE. Syria can…
Technically, this is a quick update from 35,000 feet above Seymour, TX. God bless in-flight Wifi. Anyway, I loathe typing on an iPad as the gimped Apple archtitecture responds to keystrokes much slower than I can type. Grr. So I refrained from any updates while I was away. God knows, I tried… Anyway, as a…
Well I’m just about 95% packed for California. Got the running gear in the carry-on, the rest in my larger rolling luggage, electronics set to go, and sure enough, the lungs send me the 4-1-1 that we’re not getting enough oxygen. For those of you new to the whole Hokeyboy experience, four years ago I…
Twenty years ago today, I learned how utterly powerless we insects are in the face of a planet getting totally fucking massive bugfuck pissed. I saw the Fist of God smash buildings, destroy homes, wreck ecologies, lay waste to majestic rows of organic life that had stood for centuries, and leave the allegedly most advanced…
So it’s Tuesday August 6th, 2002, and the phone rings. A landline phone, but with a Caller ID display. How quaint. I recognize your number and you’re maybe one of, oh, let’s say three people I’d answer readily without letting it go to voice mail. I click the Talk button. “Lees!” I try not to…
So CNN just broadcast a segment explaining to clueless Americans how “Sikhs are not Muslims”. The implications inherent to this admission are staggering. Mind boggling. Forget the generalization that Americans are ignorant, ill-educated simpletons — which, let’s face it, is a point that practically argues itself — but even more chilling is the subtle notion…
Not to put too fine a point on anything, but I work for a fairly huge organization based out of South Florida that does billions in revenue. We’re talking big, big, BIG money. So you would hope to think — which is a dangerous venture in and of itself — that said organization would, at…
