For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
A Mr. Ohh’s sideways view EXTRA. Wow people is this ever exciting. Today is world laughter day and I truly feel I’m not doing my share. Earlier I went outside, stood in the yard and threw pies in people’s faces, but the pedestrian community I live in just called the cops. The fine wasn’t too …
It was the poet Joyce Kilmer who wrote, “I think that I shall never see, a greater pain in the rump than a tree!” No wait, sorry about that. It was his wife Aline, who was sick and tired of all the stupid rewrites. I’m starting to agree with her and I actually love trees. …
In 1954 many thousands of school children rolled up their sleeves to get the new polio vaccine. You may ask what it was like? Well, I have no idea, I wasn’t there. The thing is the modern press wasn’t there either. Sure, there were celebrities telling folks to get vaccinated, and newspapers taking pictures, but …
I like to read. I wouldn’t say I was well read, unless you count Sports Digest and the funny paper, in which case I’m a literary genius. I did read a bit in college, but I was able to keep that to Spiderman Comic books. Heck, you change a couple of names and they become …

Some folks may have looked at the title of this post and had angry thoughts of burning me at the stake. It might be fun, but please don’t do that. I may be part of the White Not-So-Old Mens Club, but I am really a nice person, ask anybody. In fact, if you are a …
The other day, I was watching an educational television show all about insects. The thing is, it made no sense. For one thing, it talked about coloration and mentioned Monarch butterflies. Apparently, monarch butterflies are poisonous so birds don’t eat them. That made sense. Don’t eat poisonous bugs is good advice in anyone’s book, even …
A while back I went to one of those store closing, liquidation sales. It was great. I got a bunch of brand-new stuff I needed at something like eighty percent off. My wife asked me to pick up a skillet for her. This was a mistake on her part. The large almost fatal mistake was …

In 1985 Bruce Springsteen wrote a song called I’m On Fire. I looked at a picture of Bruce, and while he’s not the handsomest man alive he doesn’t look as though he has had third degree burns all over his body. Therefore, we must conclude he was speaking figuratively as opposed to literally. I don’t …
I want to know, and I want to know now, what ignorant sociopath came up with the plain donut? Is this a marketing tool of some kind? Perhaps, they think we can lose weight and feel-good eating plain donuts. Don’t be an idiot. It’s still deep-fired sugar filled dough. It still has about a bazillion …
To everyone reading this, I want to thank you all. If I don’t post next week it’s because my cat has sent me to the great somewhere. No, not to Wal-Mart for more food. I’m trying to say that my cat is trying to assonate me. She figured out, just how allergic I am to …
