Dear SUV owner, Why the fuck do you need so much machine? Your car is not who you are. Your car is a conveyance for your person, other persons, and gear between any number of points. If you are carrying people or gear that necessitates an SUV, then so be it. All of you soccer […]

Here’s another pet peeve for the books, and I have a feeling that a rant will be included, free of charge, of course. Let’s draw out a scenario. You go to the market in your car, a standard sedan. A compact car. You try to find a spot, and notice that an SUV has parked […]

Yet another 3 day weekend in the life of the Loop, oh my brothers, and I’m happy to say that it has been a pleasant one. Friday Milca had to work. Normally this would mean that I would chill at home and do nothing, but her Jeep has been on the fritz, so we have […]

I would like to take this moment to welcome all of my foreign visitors. To date I’ve had visitors from the US, the UK, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Israel, Romania, and France.

They fax their orders in, I make the order to send to our distributor, then when it comes in we count it, sell it to them, and […]

The subject of my dad is a rather lengthy one in and of itself, but I’d like to touch on one of thefacets of this jewel. He knows a lot of information, but he’s not very smart. Sound confusing? Let’s see if I can draw an analogy… He would likely win on Jeopardy, but he […]

It’s pet peeve time on The Loop. We’ve all got them, and I’d like to share a couple of mine. “Can I ask you a question?” “You just did.” “Can I ask you another one?” I could go on for days with this one. Just ask me the question, or tell me that you have […]

Unless you’re a shut in, you know what it’s like outside. So why is it, in a sea of infinite subject matter, that we find ourselves drawn to talking about the weather? Yes, I’m aware that it’s hotter than a whore in church outside right now. Yes, a swim in the pool would surely be […]
