Old Grey Duck: Blog

Sad news, everyone. A musical legend has left us. He was God's own drunk and a fearless man. R.I.P. Jimmy Buffett.

So it seems that a LOT of people are contacting me with additional items to add to the "shit list" in the most recent chapter of The Privey Report. I plan to wait a few days to allow others to add their own comments, and post them soon. Thank you, everyone, for your feedback.

On a summer day, 247 years ago, a group of men met to sign a document that forever changed the course of history. Not sure about now, but decades ago, it was the subject of many school classrooms across the nation. Over time, this country has undergone many changes. Some good, some not so good. However, I still believe that we ive in a country that offers so many positive things to the people who live here. I ask that every one of you reflects on this document and what it means. Thank you.

And as far as I know, the old story of King George of England writing in his diary on 07/04/1776 the statement of "Nothing of significance happened today," is just an urban myth.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. May 2023 bring you joy. Be safe, tonight.

Hello everyone! My kids and friends have often told me that I my brain holds an astounding amount of useless information. Some of it is actually entertaining. Not that I can really do anything with it, since I will never have a chance to say; "I will take utter nonsense for $500, Alex."

This entry actually came about when my sweetheart and I were at COSTCO doing some shopping. She was debating us getting a package of toilet paper that was enough to last us until the 2028 Elections. When I started to tell her about the history of said item, she just gave me "the look". You guys know what I mean. The rough translation is: "Shut up, moron!" Then she uttered these dramatic and fateful words: "Instead of telling just me about it, why not share this on that story site?"

So here we go. How far will I take this? Your guess is as good as mine. And before everyone starts yelling at me about trying to hijack "Jokes & Giggles" by Jack Spratt, please know that I have a lot of respect for the man, and greatly enjoy his entries. This is just intended to be an additional source of humor for all of us to enjoy. (And I promise, no dumb blond jokes here.)
