"Intermittently obnoxious!" That's exactly how it is to have a teenage man/child! This was great! Did I ever tell you about the time Aidan took all the toilet paper rolls out of ALL the toilet paper in the house, including the jumbo pack from Costco, so he could mold cardboard "turds." It is just one thing on a very long list.

My wife and her sister departed our driveway at 3 o'clock Friday morning, bound for Galveston. They're spending a few days with their mother, sisters and brother, which means my son and I will be left to our own devices for about a week. This has never been tried before, and I am reminded of th...
I have felt like throwing at a ham sandwich at Aidan this week. I'm looking forward to the mellowing - for him and me. Glad to have you back posting!

Mustard stains are hard to get out
I took my mother and my wife out to eat at a fancy-schmancy place Sunday for Mother's Day. I figured it was the least I could do - considering that, in real life, I'm rarely the charming, debonair fella you've no doubt grown to expect in this blog. I do have my shining moments, but they tend to...
This is hilarious! (And possibly a little sad...) ;-)

I've gotta confess - my wife and I haven't turned on our Wii Fit in about two months. Like much in a marriage, the novelty has worn off. We had a good time for a few weeks, getting the blood pumping and working up a nice sweat. After a while, though, the activity evolved into just another routin...
This should be in the enlistment brochure for the Coast Guard. Sign me up! Is that the official hankerchief hat of the Coast Guard?

It's the first day of spring, and I'm hibernating indoors. I can't bear the thought of going outside because it's too damn cold, and I don't like to be too damn cold. I don't even like to be too darn cold. I'm really hoping this is winter's last gasp because I'm dangerously close to signing up f...
That's an impressive drawing of some fresh tootsies. Here's to our kids staying off the police blotter! Cheers!

My wife called last night to tell me our son's picture was in the local paper. She phoned from her sister's Highlander - as they drove around town, drinking coffee (we really have no social life). "Why is he in the paper?" I asked. "Why do you think?" she asked back. "Police blotter?" "Not yet...
A kid can never have enough grandpa's. Just ask my kids! I doubt you'll feel like you are on the Gramps B Team. Grandpa Shane. I'm going to have to get used to this one. Maybe she'll call you Grandpa Scoops?

Come May, I'll be a grandpa. Make that, step-grandpa - which, best as I can tell, makes me second runner-up. If grandpas 1 and 2 are unable to fulfill their duties, then the "World's Best Grandpa" trucker's cap goes to me. My wife's son and his wife are expecting a baby girl in May. My wife, who...
Great list! Scott may be more qualified for contributing to this list. I picked up "Harlem Nights" for him today and we recently rented "Hollywood Knights," a classic. I love "Better Off Dead" and just about any Chris Farley movie with David Spade. "Raising Arizona" might be my favorite movie, and I can watch "O Brother Where Art Thou" any time it is on.
"Talladega Nights" is also high on my list. Fun post.

Which is funnier? A one-legged man, or a three-legged man?
I spent most of yesterday half-comatose because I stayed up way past my bedtime the night before to watch a bunch of overpaid beautiful people pat themselves on the back and tell each other how wonderfully talented and attractive they all are. (Hm ... I just realized how very little the Oscars ...
This was worth the wait! Life happens and keeps us from writing, but that just means the material is mounting. You should look into sponsorship with the prune people!

"I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
I realize I've been a bit scarce here on Nude Zen the last couple weeks - I haven't had much free time lately. This happens occasionally - when all points converge and the Universe dumps a big to-do list in my lap and then says, like that guy from Office Space, "Oh ... oh, and I almost forgot. A...
So did the C's band play? He has a future as a concert promoter too. This was great!

My soon-to-be 16-year-old son is the co-founder and front-man for the punk rock band Two-Way Petting Zoo. Yes, you heard correctly - but, I assure you, he pulls his pants on one leg at a time just like you and I. Recently, my son also tried his hand at concert promotion by booking the community ...
I saw a T-shirt once that said, "I've Never Been This Age Before..." and that's exactly how I feel about it. It's all new and foreign to me. I bet you had a bangin' mullet!

I took my wife to see the stage production of The Wedding Singer Tuesday (I like to treat her to a night on the town whenever I score free tickets to stuff). I was particularly excited about seeing The Wedding Singerbecause I'm a huge fan of the movie - Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore go togethe...
Great post! It might be my favorite so far! Keep 'em coming!

While much of the nation watched Super Bowl XLIV last night, I spent the evening surfing YouTube. I must confess, the annual spectacle means nothing to me, and I only turned toward the television during halftime - mostly because if Pete Townsend inadvertently exposed a nipple, I wanted to be in ...

Have you ever seen a chimpanzee operate a computer? Me either. But, try to picture it in your mind. Give him a name if it helps - and funny chimpanzee clothes. Conjure an image of Reggie the Chimp, dressed in a French mime outfit - with a red beret. Now, sit Reggie in front of a pre-assembled pa...
And a bonus post! I wasn't really looking for anything until next week! You are doing great. Continue navigating the waters, Captain!

I'm what more tactful people, like grandmas, politely call a "late bloomer." That's what my own grandmother said over coffee the morning after my cousin Rachel's killer Catholic wedding reception. Grandma made the comment immediately after noting (unnecessarily wryly, in my opinion) that "When S...
