Saying what needs to be said about quirky life with humorous stories and real life observations.
Nothing is quite as unsettling as a dead deer being dragged through the living room. The year was 1980-something, and my stepdad was not a particularly good deer hunter. However, for what he lacked in […]
Bridget from cardholder services is stalking me. She calls me two, sometimes three, times day with urgent news about my credit card account. If I hold the line for an operator, I can talk to […]
Confession time. I have a hard time making friends. Especially with women. Women scare me. I tuned out of the whole estrogen-bonding thing back in high school when I realized dealing with girls involved way […]
Parenting does have its rewards. Please enjoy 60-seconds of my kid making an impassioned plea for cash from the tooth fairy. She had oral surgery just an hour earlier; I filmed and laughed my rear […]

So, my family was talking about what we would do to survive a zombie apocalypse… This morning. On the way to church. Allow me to explain for a brief second. Yes, we are Christians — […]
Mother Nature is a punk. She lulls me outdoors to see the flowers and feel the breeze on my face – for the sole purpose of loading that breeze with cranium-clogging levels of pollen. She […]
Sci-Fi Deficit Syndrome often has hilarious consequences. Watch what happens when this mom describes the plot of “The Matrix” to her adult son. Get the newest posts from Roadkill Goldfish delivered straight to your […]
He stood before me and gingerly cradled the box. Unwilling to believe my good fortune, I hesitantly walked toward him and tried to peek at the precious items he held with his muscular arms. Those […]
Annoying Top 40 songs. Every Saturday morning. With an energetic little girl. What could go wrong? Check out this dad who recorded the parental torture he endured for three months at the hands of a […]

If every trip to Toys-R-Us could end like this… Enjoy 12 seconds of this little guy’s Jedi-infused destruction. Kudos to Dad for making everything an adventure.
This is what happens when you get your man to do your make-up for you – the look is either embalmed corpse or psychotic circus clown. Gotta love these guys for trying. Click the video […]
This video is entirely appropriate in light of my family’s recent four-day battle with stomach flu and the standardized testing mess that is constipating my kids’ lives. I hope you this inspires you as much it […]
The Virgin Mary is a single mother in our nativity set. She sits in adoration of the Christ child as the three kings and a young shepherd look on. I have no idea where Joseph […]
This is my youngest, the one responsible for the recent Come to Jesus Meeting. I had hoped our little talk would have changed her behavior, but she just took crappy attitude to an entirely new […]

I am not allowed to give blood. There is no medical reason prohibiting it. In fact, I have a rare blood type, so most folks in the medical community recommend that I donate. However, I’ve […]
