A man must have a shed to keep him sane.

If there’s anything on god’s green earth better than a fresh Queensland mango, I’d love to know about it. Firm, silky, the taste of a golden spring afternoon. Absolute perfection.
They think so too…

What hasn’t even approached perfection this year is the performance of my beloved Georgia Bulldogs. I haven’t been writing about them, and clearly [...]

I’m wondering how the glass will hit

The new dog, in a cyclone of sharp little puppy teeth and a flood of puppy pee, has arrived. Boy Z is besotted, Dr. O’C resigned and Not Max slightly confused. Along with the peals of laughter and declarations of love, however, have been fits of tears. Puppies nip. It’s what they do. Not Max [...]

I see sickness again, coming in floods

I haven’t talked much about the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party this year. Especially when one considers that, as October wound down last year, I dedicated an entire week to a diatribe of loathing against the University of Florida. I invited the enemy into my bosom to speak in favor of his loathsome, repitilian team. [...]

Game Day: Goodbye you suckers and steady bad luckers

I think I was far too gentlemanly the other day. In the time since Here in Franklin’s guest post went up, I’ve had some time to reflect on the Tennessee Volunteers and their fans. I said that it had been a long time since the bad old 90’s when the Georgia Bulldogs played the role [...]

A paper tiger can’t tell you where he stands

Things are about to get real serious for my beloved Georgia Bulldogs. They’ve scraped together three wins in a row and are somehow favored to beat the fourth ranked Lousiana State University Tigers in Athens this weekend. Despite their top five ranking, LSU has failed to whelm in their four wins thus far this season [...]

Game Day: Swallowing the ocean edition

Formerly Fun’s Chris suggested posting a side-by-side shot of Boy Z and Not Max. Everyone who has seen Not Max remarks on how much he looks like his brother, so I thought it would be an interesting experiment. I went one step further and put them in the same outfit. Both photos were taken at [...]

Delia don’t go ’round when the Devil’s loose

If you listen to the pundits, the Georgia Bulldogs may have a bit of a rest this week as they play host to the Arizona State Sun Devils in Athens. Nobody seems inclined to give the Devils much respect and I’m willing to defer to the experts. I hope they’re right, because I’m not sure [...]

Game Day: It’s nothing personal, you see

Boy Z demonstrates what we do with hogs down here in the deep, deep south…

It’s the Dawgs versus the Hogs today as the Georgia Bulldogs head into Fayetteville for a match-up with the Arkansas Razorbacks. It’s been a while since these two teams squared off – 2005 in Athens (a 23-2o win for the Dawgs) [...]

Game Day: The Birthday Edition

Today was Boy Z’s second birthday. He’s dozing soundly, content in a sugar induced coma after a small party with some friends. Dr. O’C put in a command performance, whipping up a digger cake that made the boy’s eyes dance. He was devastated when we cut it up to serve it. Days like this, watching [...]

Chickens don’t get no life after death

I’m finding it difficult to work up much energy for the Georgia-South Carolina game this weekend. Probably has a lot to do with the loss in Stillwater last Saturday, not to mention my still significant sleep deficit. Either way, I just can’t get up for this game. It should be a good one. Both teams [...]
