This is not my first rodeo. I know what goes on in this house in December. Everyone’s sending e-mails to everyone else, complete with links, telling “Santa” what they want for Christmas. Yesterday I overheard Beagle Man telling Greg he’d like a Muhammad Wilkerson jersey. How pathetic is that?! He couldn’t come up with a [...]
Did it ever occur to anyone around here that the “What Ricky Likes” contest should have been judged by, uh — Ricky? Seriously. One of the reasons I’m so glad to finally have my own Roof Rack Report is that after hearing for over a year about what I supposedly think and what I supposedly [...]
You’re not gonna believe this, but last week I overheard Beagle Man and Matt talking about LA/XC-3 — the 2013 cross-country road trip. 2013? Didn’t we just get back? Not that I’m complaining. I could be on the road 365 days a year and be perfectly happy. The thing is, though, I’m not sure I [...]
When Beagle Man introduced The Roof Rack Report in early September, he said I’m more of a “political animal” than he is. He got that right. But I gotta be honest with you: After the election, my interest in politics does, well, tail off a bit. So I hope you won’t mind if I veer [...]
Comments Off on Barry Wins — And Then Thanks Ricky!
Oh, sure, I was around in 2004 and 2008, but I didn’t take part in those elections the way I did this year. I mean . . . my own blog? And actually being allowed inside the polling place? They didn’t know quite what to make of me at first: B-Man asked a campaigner outside [...]
Bummer! No debate this week. Though I couldn’t have watched it, anyway; we still have no power, thanks to Hurricane Sandy — or “Super Storm Sandy,” as they’re now calling it on radio. Cute. Come to think of it, how am I going to watch Brad and Carrie hosting the CMA’s tonight? I suppose we [...]
Yes, of course this title is a play on Keith Urban’s I Want To Kiss A Girl. You know I pretty much spend my life riding shotgun in Beagle Man’s car, and I know every song on his iPod by heart. So today Dogster ran a headline — Do You Kiss Your Dog? You Might [...]
Three debates down, one to go. Lots of late nights for moi! I liked hearing Barry growl last night — though howling would have been even better. My personal opinion? He kicked Seamus’s dad’s butt. Of course, it didn’t hurt having that Candy lady on our side. Actually, I thought both candidates looked kind [...]
Mrs. Beagle Man thought the veep did real well last night, holding down the fort while Barry licked his wounds and got ready for next week. “Sort of Biden his time?” B-Man said. They both thought this was a riot. The thing that impressed me was what a great guy old Joe is. I’ve always [...]
Anyone watch the whole debate last night? I listened all day to the analysis on CNN and Fox News (I like to hear what the elephant-guys are thinking) — and then I fell asleep one minute in, right after Mitt wished Barrack and the Mrs. a happy anniversary! Damn! I do enjoy my sleep: I [...]
