Dateline: this morning
Bongo and his sweetie held a conference about what to do about the library books that were soon to be due. On checking online, Bongo discovered that he no longer wanted the ones that were about to come due. While Bongo doesn’t object to paying library fines - the money goes to the […]

Dateline: Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away. They still do.
Last night, I went out. I saw a couple of bands play. They were good. I mean really good. On the way out of the stadium, a friend and I were discussing the show. She liked it. She said, “It was almost better than […]

Dateline: Still the Internet
The Stickman has vowed to post every day until it becomes a habit in which case he may then attempt to break that habit. In a private interview with himself, he said, “Yeah. I haven’t been writing silly stuff for a while. It’s been…well…warm out and all.” He also thought about […]

Dateline: Same Stuff, Different Pile
After such a long absence, doubtless, my faithful readers might wish to know what I’ve been doing. What? I’ve been discovering a new state of matter. It’s fecal matter of course but I don’t just mean that I’m adding ‘fecal’ to the list ‘solid’, ‘liquid’ and ‘gas’. Fecal matter comes […]

Dateline: A Canadian Airport
Due to pressing duties at home, Bongo flew home early and is now as I write this, completing his reporting on his recent journey.
Bongo’s lovely sweetie gave him a ride to the airport. Bongo wandered into the airport and became confused by the self service kiosks so he found a person […]

Dateline: The Highway
During a long driving shift for Bongo, his lovely wife alternated between tending to the needs of the children, gazing out the window at the beautiful scenery, fiddling with the CD player (putting David Bowie on after selecting shoes for me and then not letting me buy them because they looked too gay […]

Dateline: On the road
In a setting that was strangely familiar to this intrepid reporter - reminding him of his own childhood, running jokes in movies, and his life as a parent so far - a child behaved as children have in said aforementioned setting.
The setting was a long car trip under the direction of cheerful […]

Dateline: Far, far away
To celebrate the late (re)opening of GNN, Bongo has gone on a family trip leaving his home and surviving attack cat in the care of the dear troglodytic night guy who (as you might guess from the descriptor ‘troglodytic’) lives in the basement. This celebration includes being away from the net. To […]

Dateline: Bongo’s Place
This intrepid reporter had a most un-noteworthy adventure.
A month or so ago, one of our friends convinced us that we would enjoy watching “Arrested Development” on DVD. The claim was made that it was a funny show about a dysfunctional family. My sweetie and I like funny things. They make us laugh. We’re […]

Dateline: Winter
The season is unchanged. It is still winter. Yet, one may expect and certainly hope that the winterishness of it all is less grim, gray, and generally icky than it has to be. The noon sun softly illuminating panoply of frost encrusted branches against a background of a pale blue sky is a sight […]
