Hodgepodge Stew

I have several irons in the fire as I type this…none of which, of course, are near completion.

So because of that, and as well as a top secret mission I am working on today, I will just throw out some stuff and call today’s entry:

Hodgepodgical (Yes, it is a word. I invented it last year) Wednesday.

I am off until Saturday at 4 P.M. You know what that means. Uh-huh, that’s right…Not a whole helluva lot.

I was going to take down the Christmas tree, but we’re leaving it up year ‘round. We’ll decorate it accordingly to whichever holiday is approaching.

Hearts and baby pictures of me next month…Shamrocks in March…and perhaps in April as Easter nears, dozens of Cross danglin’ Jeebuses.

I have no idea how we’ll decorate it for Arbor Day. Maybe I’ll bring in a load of dirt and place it around its base.

Ann Coulter has a new book out. It’s called, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America

I have so many names for her. Annthrax Coulter…Annorexic Coulter…


Ann “The Fuckin’ Bitch Who Needs the High Hard One From Any Guy Who Could Have Sex With Her Without Throwing Up” Coulter.

Skeletor Girl can sell the books though…all that money and still a hypocritical asshole. Oh well.

I got another email from my blog critic Nicole.


I may have a few things to say about her sometime soon. She’s a real bitch pistol. But, I do love the back and forth so.

Ryno had another game Tuesday night. They won, and improved to 2-2. The Little Man had 5 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Oddly enough, my boy has turned into a feared rebounder and defender. Although he’s not huge, his coach always matches him up against the other teams’ big guys.

I guess he ticked off a couple of the opponent’s big guys last night. This is what Ryno told me…

"Dad, they were so mad because I play defense like you and I do when we play each other.


I bump as much as I can without fouling, as I tell them to bring it, and make crazy faces at them. They got mad tonight."

Knowing how my son can embellish, I asked his Mom for confirmation. She replied…

"Matt, he was in their face. I could see him laughing and talking to them while they were dribbling...


and then he started making that weird face that you and him think is so funny...

The one that you made the picture of."

Ha. Better Basketball through, Inside Yo Head Comedy.


The boy is brilliant!! If only he would put that much thought into his school work. But, I am incredibly proud nonetheless.

I guess I’ll end on that note. Hopefully, I’ll have something funnier and more substantial for you tomorrow.

Oh one last thing. I just realized something...

Only 49 Days until another 46 days of a meatless Lent begins for Matt-Man. God, I love the creativity that time instills in me.

Cheers!!

am I the only one feeling jealous of this love/hate deal you have going on with Nicole?

Schmoop said...

Snugs: Ha. It's no big deal...with me anyway. I can't speak for her, but I find it kinda fun. Send me a hateful email anytime. I'd love to hate you. Or hate to love you...or something. Cheers Snugs!!

Unknown said...

That's a lot of hodgepodgical stuff; may I assume you didn't touch on any of the irons in the fire or your top secret mission?

Schmoop said...

Nick: You can safely assume that I did not. I have some funny stuff floating around in my head but can't focus on just one thing right now. Man, it's messin' with me. Cheers Nick!!

katherine. said...

ah lent....I had almost forgotten.

I've never given anything up for lent...that's kinda a catholic thing and not really a BA thing.

am I the only one who is curious to see a picture of your exwife?

Schmoop said...

Kat: With me, giving up the meat for six weeks isn't a Catholic thing...It's a discipline thing. It's the only time of the year that I have any!!

As for the pic? I won't do that. But the chick, could have been a plus sized model. And I think Schmoop can confirm that. Cheers Kat!!

Dana said...

Di scenting blogger relationships make for such great writing material, don't they?

Schmoop said...

Dana: Indeed they do. Hopefully little Nikki will provide me with a new avenue of creativity. Cheers Dana!!

Anonymous said...

Damn, making fun of Conservative Babe Ann....me thinks you've got penis envy?

Gawd is gonna get you for that one Matty!

Schmoop said...

Hoot: I don't think Coulter is a Conservative. I think she's just a "woman" who discovered that acting bat shit crazy and writing red meat bullshit can pay really well. Cheers Hoot!!

Meg said...

Re: Nicole. So you're saying I should have put you on my top ten bloggers I love to hate list?

Phfrankie Bondo said...

...I think The Cross Danglin' Jeebuses is a good name for a band...

Schmoop said...

Fantasy: Ha. I'd prefer if you referred to me as someone you hate to love. Thanks for the shout out and we have a nice Irish watering hole here in Bagwine called, Murphy's Irish Pub. ; ) Cheers Meg!!

Phfrankie: Ha. Damn. That is pretty good. I need to find a couple of musicians and record Nazarean Dandy under that name. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

I had to grin as you shared Ryno's game face. My middle boy was not all that athletic but he did play soccer in the first grade. The coach had to tell him more than once that running up to opponents with his arms windmilling and screaming like a banshee was not acceptable behavior... I found it funny and it almost always stopped the bigger kids in their tracks... ahhhh memories!

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: Ha. I talked to Ryno again this morning. We were laughing about the face. And then he told me one of the ticked off kids bumped him after Ryno sank a free throw.

Ryno told me that he pushed the kid back. I told him not to get irritated by the bump. He said that he wasn't irritated, he was simply "sending a message" to the kid. Ha. Cheers Cheese!!

Lu' said...

I saw Ann C. on TV this morning. My thought was, shut the fuck up.

What was that? Oh just your liver screaming at the thought of what's to come. Happy getting off. I mean time off damn it, time off :)

Desert Songbird said...

Ryno is the best. He's definitely a chip off the old block, and he's a monster on the boards to boot!

Michele said...

Congrats to the boy, I think. I am basketball disabled.

You need meatless meal ideas let me know. This is my specialty.

Schmoop said...

Lu: My liver is in check today...sorta. I was gonna watch Ann but I didn't want to feel nauseous while I am off. Cheers Lu!!

Songbird: He is doing well alright. He's a born shooter but for some reason him and his Number 2 pencil body frame have become Chairman of the Boards. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Michele: Thanks. And Oh Baby!! Wait 'til Lent. You have yet to experience my meatless blogging experiences.

I'll be posting my meatless dinner menu most days. It may turn your stomach but is always entertaining. Cheers Michele!!

Dianne said...

I won't go 'all-Nicole' on ya and suggest what you post about but I do love the Ry-Man stories - the kid is so fucking endearing. He makes me happy. Wonder where he got that from ...

Ann didn't call me to tell me I was attacking America - shit! my uniform is in the cleaners.

Schmoop said...

Dianne: I haven't even scratched upon the things that boy has done and says. He's charming and oh so full of shit. Just like me.

The only difference is that he posseses this amazing metabolism that enables him to eat whatever he wants and remain thin. Neither his mom or I have EVER had that.

Ann is a freak but entertaining...In a train wreck full of toxic waste kinda way. Cheers, you America Hater, you!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Ryno can keep it up - but he needs to be prepared for that one monster who will level him...

Then he can go to the foul line and sink two while making that face

Real Live Lesbian said...

I'll trade you my gay-questioning, South African, Levitican Law reciter for your Darling Nikki....

I always do much better with the girls.

Schmoop said...

Bond: You kinda hit the nail on the head. His coach puts him in that position because he is the only one who can consistently nake free throws. He only took two shots from the floor (making one), but he was three for three last night form the foul line. Cheers Vinny!!

Schmoop said...

RLL: Ha. No Thanks. In spite of her loathing of me, Nikki is such a porn star sounding name. It makes me hot. Cheers and Happy New Year, Sexy!!

Jay said...

I have to say that I too am a bit jealous of you and Nicole. I've gotten my share of hate mail over the last couple of years, but after I respond to them they never emailed back. So unfair.

Knight said...

Ryno sounds crazy on the court. Good for him.

It's too bad Nicole doesn't know when to quit. She should be long gone by now.

Cinnamon Girl said...

Ok it's official, I like your kid. Mind fucking the opponent! How rad is that!

Nicole needs to figure out that the world doesn't give two shits about her delicate sensibilites. Doesn't she need to run out and buy a billboard that puts the christ back in christmas or something?

Schmoop said...

Jay: Screw that, Jay. I have always been jealous of YOU. You have posted before about the hate mail you get and this is actually the first blog rlated one I have EVER gotten. You are still King. Cheers!!

Knight: He is the man, and is having fun. As for Nicole...

I kinda dig it. I think sometimes that I am providing a service for an angry woman with too much time on her hands. Cheers Lovely One!!

Schmoop said...

Starr: Ha. He is a delightfully twisted young man. Nicole is the best thing to happen to me. Hell, Schmoop and I rarely argue. Nicole helps to keep my annoyance level up where it needs to be. Cheers!!

Beth said...

You want an arguement buddy?? I'll give you and arguement!!! Oh hell, who am I kidding. Loves!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Don't stop Schmoop! That was lookin like it could be kinda hot ;)

Schmoop said...

Schmoop: Argue Baby, Argue. And do it naked. Cheers Baby!!

Starr: She can be hot when she wants to be. Cheers!!

Liz Hill said...

So Nicole is going to be a muse whether she likes it or not.

Ryno is awesome!

Schmoop said...

TB: As long as she wants to play along. I just sent her a love letter. Ryno does rock, and thanks. Cheers Sexy!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Please tell me your referenced Crisco in your love letter =)

Schmoop said...

Starr: Ha. I Love You. Don't be dissin' my Nicole. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Oh come on, hot lubed Muse. Who could refuse that! Off to listen to my favorite Muse song...Supermassive Black Hole. I swear I won't giggle ;)

Schmoop said...

Starr: I'm off today...I'm drinking...You're making me laugh more than usual. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Oh damn now that is like waving a red flag at a bull. Now I have to aim for making you shoot booze out your nose :P

Schmoop said...

Starr: I already intentionally blow booze out of my nose, but only because I get a real stinging sensation out of it. Have I never mentioned my Masochistic tendencies to you? Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

No you hadn't but I have always had you pegged as a Whip Me, Spank Me boy :P

Schmoop said...

Starr: Peg Me, Whip Me, Spank Me, baby. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Oh, god, it's the Starr/Matt orgy again.

*sigh*

Cinnamon Girl said...

Yes Desert but this time we have stew =)

Schmoop said...

Songbird: And isn't the world better off as result. I say, a resounding, YES!! Cheers!!

Starr: Well we better orgy all we can with the stew before Lent starts. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

You going Full Tilt Lenten again, Matt?

Desert Songbird said...

We just Nikki in here with her magazine. (Iffen you don't understand the music reference, Matt, sorry!)

Cinnamon Girl said...

Darling Desert, *I* got it ;)

Schmoop said...

Starr: Yep. Goin' Meatless fer Jeebus. Cheers!!

Songbird: I finally read your X-Mas Newsletter in the bathroom. It was quie soothing and conducive to...well, you know. Thank You. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

I feel so honored that my writing can cause one to soothingly move their bowels; however, this is not the same as Nikki with her magazine. THAT involves another kind of "release."

Cinnamon Girl said...

What Matt should have said was "Thank You For A Funky Time"

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

FOO FIGHTERS REFERENCE ALERT!!!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!NIKKI!!!!!!!oh.....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!COME BACK NIKKI!!!!!COME BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Foos? Where Foo?

Schmoop said...

Bond: I dig the Foo Fighters, but more importantly Peter Gabriel just came on singing "In Your Eyes." He's an Aquarian y'know, Starr. We Water Bearers so frickin' RAWK!!

Anonymous said...

I don't even think Ann Coulter could fuck herself without throwing up. Ha!

And that Ryno is my new hero! Sorry Matt-Man. I know, I'm such a fickle bitch, eh? LOL

Cinnamon Girl said...

Ahhh....The Lloyd Dobler Song! I knew that about Peter. We not only rock, we rock out with our cocks out.

God Bless Harold and Kumar.

Schmoop said...

Giggle: She is is gross, no?

Y'know...I liked you so much and then I am cast aside in favor of a 14 year old Ethiopian looking boy. I'm crushed, nay, Outraged!! Cheers GP!!

Starr: As cynical as I am, I am a sucker for a GOOD love song. (Kinda like you with movies) I like that song and PG is the best. Cheers!!

ambergail77 said...

Have you sent Nikki the lyrics to lovely Darling Nikki song by the one and only Prince? I am sure she would have plenty to say about that.

I once had a Holiday tree. You would be amazed how many items you can find at a dollar store to decorate with. We even decorated it for a baby shower one weekend. It was fun. The tree also hung upside down from the ceiling, so there was never any real issue with it being in the way.

Cinnamon Girl said...

Can I make a comment about Prince not doing her with Morris Day's dick?

Schmoop said...

Amber: Good to see ya. We have a bar in town that always has a tree hanging upside down. The tree thing should be fun. Cheers and Happy New Year to ya!!

Starr: Leave Morris alone. He's entitled to some time. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

ooo...good one, Matt =)

Schmoop said...

Starr: I am Captain Obvious, no? ; ) Cheers!!

Marilyn said...

That's a great face... speaking of meatlessness, I'm fixing black bean burgers for hubby this weekend. :) Cheap and yummy and nutritious. (Liquid smoke is a vegetable...right?)

Ken said...

I was a wee sick this morning myself....turned on the tube and there was the bitch talking to Matt Lauer. Good thing I had Luca nearby, being a dog, she just lapped up the puke that spewed from me after a few moments of acually listening to her.

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: I hope they stick together this time. And you are right, Liquid Smoke is a veggy. Thanks for the laugh. Cheers!!

The Teamster said...

ahhh...lent...i was raised catholic but escaped...

if i were still of the faith what would i "try" to give up for lent...

katherine...you can't tell....

Schmoop said...

Micky: Haha. You are so fortunate to have Luca. Cheers Mick!!

Teamster: I don't do it for the Catholic aspect. And you? You could give up wearing dresses perhaps? Cheers Teamster!!

The Teamster said...

what is your motive/reason for giving up meat for lent?

and stop wearing dresses? how'd you know? I usually only wear them when I/we go into "the city" (san francisco is the city for you folks not on the left coast)

did katherine send you and email and tell?

Schmoop said...

Teamster: No. I just figured you for a guy who enjoys the freedom that a billowing Bill Blass offers.

Seriously though, I gave up meat for Lent three years ago just to see if I could do it. I did it. And now I do it every year. I shed a few pounds during the course of it and it's fun inventing new meatless meals. Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

I love that Ryno plays defense like that! There is a special place reserved for smaller guys who aren't afraid to challenge the bigger guys on the defensive side of the ball...or court.
