I don't get it. Until today, Mondays and I have had a mutual agreement. I totally and utterly despise everything about it, and in return it sh_ts on me ad nauseam. We take a break for six days and then repeat the process. I'm sure this is SOP for many of us. So why did today decide to break tradition?

So I show up at work this morning regular time, expecting a regular day. There are no weekend fires to extinguish, and the list of weekend gripers is short. Disconcertingly so....

I was going to let this one slide originally. I'm sure you Yanks are sick of it already, and you've only got almost an entire year left of it. However, one of our forum members, Sly, dropped this post spoofing the GOP debates (it might be moved to P&R by the time you read this - if so, I'll find it and re-link it), so I figured "why not?".

The clip was funny, but the sad thing is that I think it's actually a mild version of what they're really up to behind closed doors....

No, not OJ, although, I'm sure that if he's miraculously acquitted of this charge too, he'll vow to find the real thieves and then write another book detailing how HE would have done it...if he had done it, of course. No, the Simpson I'm referring to is Jessica. We in the Western world seem to love a good scandal, and if there is none to be found, we invent one.

I'm referring to the now infamous appearance of Jessica Simpson at the Dallas Cowboys/Philadelphia Eagles game on December...

Well fellow XLF’ers (and guests), this is my very first blog…ever. Anywhere. Yep, you scummy, dirty bikers took yet another cherry; I hope you’re happy! I think you owe me dinner for that. *sniffle*

Fortunately, it seems I’m not alone. It looks like most of us don’t really know much about blogs or blogging. Like replacing your first set of lifters, you read up what you can on it and Hail Mary the rest. You’re gonna screw up the first few times, but at least here, you won’t hear...
