SKUNK WORKS = COOL & THE BLACKBIRD LEAKS FUEL
March 15, 2013
The Skunk Works – Lockheed’s codename for their secretive advanced development group – is cool, cooler than you or me. Well, it’s definitely cooler than me. It’s probably cooler than you. I mean no insult by this, I’m just saying it’s an odds thing. Super cool things were and are being designed and built at the Skunk Works, things that go stealthily and very fast, and this just needs to be recognized, immortalized on the Web ether. Read More
PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF
March 9, 2013
[Here’s one from the vaults, dating back to 2007, so the names are somewhat dated, plus some minor edits.

“WHY ARE MY LIT PROFESSORS SO WEIRD?”
March 7, 2013
I get asked this sometimes (particularly by folks out of the military and using that sweet MGI Bill). Derivations of this inquiry include, “You write books? Okay, so why are my English profs so hostile/accusatory/obsessed with being aggrieved victims?”, “Why does my lit teacher always harp on sexism while staring at me like that? He doesn’t even know me.” Perhaps you even landed here after Googling up something exactly like that title phrase-- in which case, ol C-Dawgg is glad to be here for you. What the hell, today’s a good day to burn a few bridges. Read More
