Today’s Tirade: Nincompoops

Posted on October 27, 2018 by Mike Slickster

This week’s billion-dollar lottery passed me by again, after my buying several tickets which didn’t even display one of the numbers drawn. That’s my typical luck. What are the odds for not having at least a lousy numeral from the … Continue reading →

Today’s Tirade: Vandals and Vitriol

Posted on April 19, 2016 by Mike Slickster

It sucks being vandalized, no matter in what shape or form. Victimized is more like it, and it’s only been as of late. Could I have made an enemy? It seems that way. Perhaps it is the color of my … Continue reading →

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Mike Slickster

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Mike Slickster

Having a blog is a great way to vent, from which the benefits gained are ideal for maintaining one’s mental balance and personal well-being. Writing is escapism at its finest. When mundane and trivial annoyances take over one’s everyday life, … Continue reading →

Today’s Tirade: Sknaht is Thanks Spelled Backward

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Mike Slickster
