When surfing or on a SUP, a dolphin can be a bully too
RichC | July 31, 2019
Dolphins and humans have a few things in common – there are bullies in both species.
What do you do when you lock yourself out? Use a hammer?
RichC | July 21, 2019
I am calling today “embarrass your wife day,” as she admitted to the questionable decision to open a door with a hammer when I was out of town last week (although she hid the damage for a day). Now that a few days have passed, it is a bit easier to chuckle and admire the […]
Filler post: A little – very little – bit of #humor
RichC | June 25, 2019
A dumb dad joke #DDJ “sometimes” can be a great filler post … and as a told my friend Jeff, “if you smile and laugh, it is good for your health.” Q: What did the father buffalo say to his son when he left for greener pastures? A: Bi-son.
Experimenting with a bit of silliness … “as seen on the Internet”
RichC | June 2, 2019
If you grew up watching Get Smart, then you know about the “cone of silence” … but do you know about the “bottle of protection?” A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a guy work over a stove and frying pan of hot oil. If you’ve done this before, no doubt the spatter occasionally […]
Throwing the first pitch right over home plate – NOT! #video
RichC | May 30, 2019
I’m not sure Hollywood can match this on a sitcom! You are invited to throw out the first pitch at an MLB game … and then you do this! – another LINK https://myarchive.us/mp4/ThrowingOutTheFirstPitch_May2019.mp4
Very funny – Annalyn thinks Taylor looks like Rutledge Wood
RichC | May 8, 2019
While watching NBC pre-Kentucky Derby coverage last weekend, Rutledge Wood appeared a few times to cover the event and according to Drew and Katelyn, Annalyn continued to point and say, "Uncle Taylor is on TV." I’m not sure if Taylor should see this as a complement or insult … but it sure was funny. As […]
How should we light our next bonfire? #TBT
RichC | April 25, 2019
We’ve had many bonfires and parties in our backyard over the years and once again the spring clean-up is building up another pretty good sized pile. An interesting “how to light it” video gave me a ThrowBack Thursday #TBT post idea (photo from a YoungLife party in 2007). Hm … not sure this looks like […]
How far left will Democrats go as they campaign for president?
RichC | April 17, 2019
It was a struggle to contain my frustration as I watched Senator Bernie Sanders pitch his version of Democratic Socialism to a “townhall” Q & A hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News on Monday night. I “SO” hope that the American people have far more commonsense than to head further down […]
Official MLB Opening Day this year is March 28, 2019
RichC | March 20, 2019
Are you looking forward to Major League Baseball for 2019? At this point, even the Cincinnati Reds look like they have a shot … although first pitch for opening day is scheduled for 4:10PM against the Pittsburgh Pirates and who knows where we’ll go from here? Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the season and hope […]
When all is well, life is good, even if it is not always as planned
RichC | March 2, 2019
There are still exciting adventures ahead … but as someone who always has a plan, and dreams ambitiously, I’m detecting my life plans are changing … again. Dreams are good for the soul IMHO, so as long as ones asperations can be modified when life changes. A reality check needs to trigger flexibility in the […]
Where do you do your best thinking? In the shower? #humor
RichC | February 26, 2019
Wintertime offers longer days for reading and thinking and some of my better thoughts happen during my morning shower … although other thoughts aren’t quite so inspirational or deep …like, “Why can’t the sliver of soap be as invigorating as that larger new bar? Do soap manufacturers purposely make the inside of a bar of […]
Just a little diesel automotive #humor to end the week
RichC | February 22, 2019
Normally, I don’t forward emails or reposted viral images on social networks … but as a diesel car guy and TDIClub and BMW forum reader … I couldn’t resist including this as a humorous response to recent Democratic Socialists promoting their ambitious 10-year Green New Deal to combat climate change (still shocked Bernie drives this van?) 😉 […]
Joking with my son who is pondering his career options
RichC | February 4, 2019
While chatting with my son Taylor over the weekend about the terrible news regarding the killing of a law enforcement officer in the county where he works (depressing), we discussed his career options again. His job is currently to his liking, but the challenge and opportunity for advancement and salary improvement is dependent on seniority […]
The Super Bowl and tech humor shared by a Facebook friend
RichC | January 29, 2019
Just another "Patriots are in the Super Bowl" year again. Whoop-de-do. Scott Bilik and I have been Internet “tech” friends for a long time … and humorously is my Twitter “Godfather.” He has suffered his share of heartache having lost his wife Michelle to cancer in 2013, but remains strong in his faith and marches […]
Tech Friday: A virtual assistant showing a little humor
RichC | January 25, 2019
It won’t be long before virtual assistants end up in our car … question is, which one will it be? (from what I’m seeing as of 2019, it would be Amazon’s Alexa). Currently Amazon has definitely taken the lead in our home as the affordable Echo Dots are now throughout our house. I … well […]
Music Monday: Merry Christmas from the Family
RichC | December 17, 2018
How about a classic … Merry Christmas from the Family … first recorded by the “alternative country music” artist Robert Earl Keene in 1994 (below is a live version from 2006 still on YouTube). It still makes me smile even if in today’s world it is probably not PC … nor was it appropriate to […]
Saw this and thought of our never ending battle with raccoons
RichC | May 26, 2018
Can’t say we are overly sad when seeing one more raccoon critter not trying to get into our house! RIP, buddy.

It is impressive what can be accomplished with a little boldness …
Some have skill and talent, others the fortitude to try #humor
RichC | March 20, 2018
Although the .mp4 video clip does remind me of some good times down at Delray Beach Florida with our family!
Last minute gift idea AND picking the right hose clamp #humor
RichC | December 20, 2017
Just in case there are a few men looking for last minute jewelry gifts to give to their sweetheart for Christmas, here’s a ring idea that will pretty much guarantee that you’ll never need to worry again – you’ll either be alone … or dead! And since I know there is sure to be a […]
Semi-humorous advice from a Roomba Vacuuming Robot user
RichC | December 17, 2017
Before you buy a Roomba vacuuming robot "used," be sure you know what it has been cleaning. Actually I couldn’t help but smile at this well told and somewhat humorous story that might also be a useful warning to others? Credit to Jesse Newton: So, last week, something pretty tragic happened in our household. It’s […]

Filler post: How about a dumb dad joke …
RichC | July 11, 2017
Question: Why do Swedish warships have bar codes on their sides? Answer: So when the ships return to port, they can Scan-di-navi-an. — (Merriam-Webster: Scan·di·na·vian \ˌskan-də-ˈnā-vē-ən, -vyən\ )
Why do some Japanese cars have such large spoilers? #humor
RichC | May 10, 2017
Ah … so that’s why they add the picnic table to the trunk of so many Japanese cars! Saw this cute photo shared by an automotive journalist friend on a social network and couldn’t help but make a comment and include.
World War I surveillance DRONE – or pigeon photography
RichC | February 5, 2017
Homing pigeons were outfitted with lightweight cameras in WWI with time-delayed shutters for aerial reconnaissance photography, likely the first "drones." They were used very effective as messenger pigeons prior to wireless radio and effectively in communicating behind enemy lines in World War II. Interestingly the Swiss Army continued they military pigeons until it was disbanded […]
A little SNOW country #humor
RichC | January 22, 2017
Really just a filler post since we were in snow country this weekend for my mother-in-laws funeral. The “more realistic than we care to admit” chart is just a bit of humor that will likely have you nodding your head no matter where you live. Winter weather reactions definitely differs depending where you are located.
Getting a straw stuck up your nose can be painful …
RichC | December 2, 2016
I’ve heard of getting a straw stuck up your nose … but this is ridiculous.
Presidential hopeful Gov Gary Johnson gets a little tongue-tied
RichC | September 26, 2016
Just when you thought this years presidential campaign couldn’t get any weirder … Gov Gary Johnson steps it up a notch on MSNBC. I don’t have (or want) the full context.
A photo that is just begging for a caption
RichC | April 19, 2016
I’m sure there are some naturalists who will point out the difference between alligators and crocodiles … but the rest can work with the "crocs" thing.

Where there is more wind aloft, sail like these ladies!
RichC | February 2, 2016
I really wanted to title this “blonds have more fun” but unfortunately the members of this fine crew are brunette. On the other hand, the skipper may be detecting a little more wind aloft??? 🙂
A little earbud knot tying humor
RichC | December 20, 2015
This well done graphic has probably be around for a while since the Apple earbud looks to be the older type … but I thought the knot tying humor was pretty funny.
There’s a long term solution to every problem
RichC | March 16, 2014
Saw this cute story about a problem and laughed at the creative solution. According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they […]
