I feel like Puddintopia posts should attempt to be at least somewhat informative, well thought-out, reasoned, entertaining (if not somewhat amusing), occasionally introspective, and/or, you know, not completely trivial. Basically, I like to have a point that might mean something to someone out there. Today, we will have none of that. As I spent most … Continue reading The McRib Mystery

There's something wrong with the Puddinette. She's has…um…a sickness. And I'm not talking about your common strain of strep here; I mean that she's got a real problem, an addiction even. The target of her affliction starts with a 'd' and ends with an 's', and it's not designer drugs or daisy dukes. My lovely … Continue reading Black days, indeed

I figured since tomorrow was, like, the Big Day for turkey and being thankful and stuff, it might be a good time to write a Thanksgiving-related post on Hoperatives. This may come as a moderate shock to some of you, but there's a beer tie-in. The key take-away here is that I am thankful for … Continue reading Things to be thankful for #3: Beer

I'm speaking, of course, of that Bengals game. The local NFL franchise, which is purported to consist … Continue reading Gluttony of the punishment kind, with stripes

Today was an unusual day. Once or twice a year, depending on what specific day of the week holidays happen fall on, The Company That Pays The Bills requests that we put in a workday on Saturday in order to get time off later. For instance, if Independence Day is on a Thursday, we might … Continue reading Unusual Days

Today was a robustly good day. There were accomplishments left and right, and, well, I suppose I could claim to have succeeded at gettin' 'er dun. You know, if that was the kind of thing I said regularly. At any rate, today was good and tomorrow at the office we will partake of a hopefully-not-too … Continue reading Pork Balls and Politics

So...there are probably some people out there thinking, "Gosh, you're lazy, Puddin! Where's the post today? If you aren't gonna give us 800 words on AAA batteries, at least offer us a terrible short poem or something." Well, have I got good news for you! Not only did I write a post for today, I … Continue reading There’s plenty enough Puddin to go around
