I’m originally from southern Missouri, so I have a special interest in all of the dumb things that originate in the South. We’ve […]

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

My name is Humpty, pronounced with an Umpty… no, not really. For some reason I’ve always wanted to say that and I can’t do it at Simply Dumb, where could I?

A Day Off… sort of

Hi all,

Presidential Pardon for Doomed Turkeys

I have no idea if this story is reputable or not.  If it is, however, what a great story to share for Thanksgiving.
According to WayOdd.com, today President George W. Bush officially pardoned two turkeys named May and Flower, staying their execution for our holiday meals.  Reportedly Vice President Dick Cheney preferred the names Lunch and […]

Veterans Day 2007

…because we often forget that today is not just another day off.
