The Dude was pondering the Riddle of Steel yesterday, while attending a gathering of former co-workers. No matter how good you are at your job, it takes others working with you to make you successful. Perhaps missing this essential understanding is what makes the President behave the way he does… In any case, The Dude…

Sitting on the couch after a hearty breakfast, The Dude started flipping channels on the ol’ TV, and stumbled across this gem. For all the dated special effects, it’s actually a pretty darn entertaining story: a little sleepy coastal town starts having strange things happen exactly one century after a ship wrecks off the coast…

Attila and Deogee are playing a rousing game of ‘grab the ball and giggle’ as The Dude types this- it makes him very happy that they get along as well as they do. Attila uses Deogee as a pillow, a handy pull-up bar, and a mobile face washer. It also means that they keep each…

The Dude is too much of a nerd sometimes (hey, no smart remarks out of you!). While doing some work on his laptop, he had the TV on for background noise, and what should catch his attention but “Buy one Katana, and get the second one free!” Of course they meant Katana and not KATANA.…

Happy New Year to all– it’s a bright shiny day, with fresh snow on thenground, covering the hideous brown ground. The Dude unfortunately had to miss the annual Iron Bartender event, due to a sick babysitter, and a rambunctious Attila. Fortunately, the AKO filled in all the details, so much vicarious fun was had. Congratulations…

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. The Dude is shocked, shocked that adults aged 19-29 are daring to have sex without being married! They are probably…

Do you believe in coincidence? This group is being investigated as part of the NSA domestic spying scandal, and a fire has now gutted the building where they were based. The group’s website has also been removed from the web. Perhaps they know something we don’t regarding the mid-terms? 100 Quatloos

Winter is Coming. This means the Crock Pot is running, leaves are falling, and mid-term elections are in full swing. This brings us to push polling. Now, those who know The Dude personally know that unless CallerID shows a recognizable name and number, he will let it go to voicemail pretty much every time (due…
