FYI

If you enjoy the posts at this blog then you’ll love the original. I am deciding whether or not to switch from Blogspot to WordPress. While I’m deciding, please visit and Use the Oxgoad.

The Coffee House is Closed

The dual blog experiment has not worked. Thus, the Coffee House has closed it’s doors. The shop may return in the future, but I suggest finding a new coffee spot.

That doesn’t mean, dear reader, that you must quit me cold turkey. I am still regularly posting at my original blog Use the Oxgoad. Please head over there, take a few swings with the Oxgoad and join the conversation.

Thanks!

Caption It!

It’s been three weeks without a post of any kind; let alone a post of any substance (and don’t think I don’t hear some of you in the corner booths snickering at the use of substance to describe some of my posts). Just to remain consistent I will post another meaningless, substanceless, (my blog – I’m allowed to create a word here and there) post. What captions are you able to create for the following pics?

Caption It!

It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have decided to start a regular series called “Caption it”; neither the title nor the idea are original. Gary Varvel has recently started a similar series, although he draws his pictures and simply insert them onto the post. I’ve seen other blogs do the same thing; Purgatorio and Blonde Sagacity come to mind.

Here are the ground rules (based on Varvel’s rules): I’ll paste a picture or cartoon with the title “Caption It” and you will provide the caption in the comment section. Keep it clean (I alone am the lone and final arbiter). Keep it brief (brevity is the soul of wit). If you can’t do those two things, keep it to yourself.

Let’s get started!
