Tomorrow is Turkey Day, that most delicious of holidays, where all good Americans gorge themselves silly on heaping helpings of homecooked happiness, and then spend the remainder of the day in a tryptophan inspired stupor. The Dude is stoked. Happy Holidays and safe travels to you and yours! Thanks to Ms. Huis Herself for the…

Election season is FINALLY done! Now on to Christm… I mean Thanksgiving. What is it with all the Christmas stuff being put out the day after Halloween (or the day before in some cases)? The Dude likes his holidays in the order that they are supposed to arrive, thank you very much. 100 Quatloos— this…

Interesting story: abstinence-only education isn’t just for teenagers anymore. The Federal government has released a ‘clarification’ to the ’no sex without marriage’ program– now they are targeting unmarried adults up to the age of 29.

Attila is on the floor playing with toys, Deogee is at my feet, and the AKO is off doing some work related tasks. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and it is a three day weekend for The Dude. Good times. The Dude was slogging along ‘Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail’ last night, and…

Atilla and the AKO are quietly sleeping, Deogee is watching squirrels frolic in the freshly mowed grass, and The Dude is finally able to spend a little time here with his loyal readers. First off, we here at Casa del The Dude are very excited about the preview for the newest version of Apple’s OS…
