Travel Warnings Issued: The Mexican government has issued warnings to its citizens to use EXTREME CAUTION if visiting Arizona USA. Some are suggesting a boycott of Tempe, Az.-based U.S.Airways, The PHX SUNS, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Oh yeah, and a visit to the Grand Canyon is no longer politically correct.Meanwhile, we are setting the ocean on fire out in the Gulf of Mexico as the slimy

Another sign of the apocalypso: JIMMY BUFFETT has his very own kiosk at Wal*Mart. And etiquette expert Emily Post died, so time to get rude. And today the The Dow closed 213 points down, its worst day in months, after Europe's debt crisis intensified. Oh, and by the way, Mona Lisa was a man.

MONDAY NIGHT FRESHCHAOS: Final EditionOn A Monday was a great song by Ry Cooder; Monday, Monday even greater song by the Ma's and Pa's. We've had fun with our Monday Night Chaos series over the decade. Taking a queue from Monday Night Football and throwing off our Case of the Mondays with glee, we let our hair down on more than a few Monday nights. "Monday Night Chaos" originally appeared as the

As FRESHCHAOS gallops across its finish line, Maj. League, a sometimes contributor, has these remarks: I. Tribute to the Cap'n Those of us who have been privileged to read and experience FreshChaos in real time over the past ten years owe a debt of gratitude to the originator/editor/protagonist/creator Cap'n Chaos. For the benefit of literary historians of the future, this blog is the successor

2nd Lt. FUBAR bid FreshChaos a fond farewell: Ah, what a decade it was, through which FreshChaos.com and Jon Stewart guided me. The world did not end at the changing of the Millennium, but somehow we elected W.

It is fun on occasion to look back at how you 'got to the here and now'.One Spring I drove from my hometown in Jacksonville, Florida to Tennesse to 'take a hike'. A friend and I left the car at his family place in Pulaski (go KKK), Tn. and began a back-roads hike from there to to Sewanee (my alma mater: the University of the South)...Sewanee is on the Cumberland Plateau (2200 feet) and for a

A west-coaster sends us this one:A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me?

That's when the young, daring, devilish Duo from Dallas, aka The Personal Trainers, aka Holly and Duke, came to enliven the aging two survivors of the original Three Schippeteers.
