Dad. Ad Man. Royals Fan.
Dayton Moore has been a busy man since the long-suffering Red Sox fans finally got that elusive World Series title after six long years without one. As previously-discussed, the Royals fell short of the playoffs and couldn’t just stand pat if they wanted to step it up in 2014. Welcome to Kansas City, Norichika Aoki,… Read more
Trying something new to visualize an idea I had. What happens when a mom & pop dairy gets in on the energy drink craze just a little too late?
So, the World Series is over and the boys in blue didn’t make it. I will say, this was one of the more enjoyable seasons to follow the Royals, and it will be great if they can ever get through a season sometime soon without a gut-punch of a month that drags the whole year… Read more
I was getting gas this morning when a friendly man with a can of some kind of car cleaner accosted me. “Wanna see this amazing product in action, mate?” He was Australian, but that really has no bearing on the rest of the story. “Not really,” I replied, but it was already too late. He… Read more
Over the last 10 games, the Kansas City Royals have gone 9-1, which would be awesome, except the two teams in front of them in the American League Central, Detroit and Cleveland, have also gone 9-1.

Here’s hoping these headlines don’t become even more infrequent. I say this because a squirrel was found near Los Angeles with the bubonic plague. The real tragedy, of course, is who will make the movie about the bubonic plague if everyone in Hollywood is killed off by it? In happier news, the royal parents decided… Read more
Who doesn’t love some news updates on Flag Day? An AP report delved into Al Quaida documents and discovered that they have a lot of the same mundane office tasks us non-terrorists deal with, including filing expense reports. Only, instead of making strip clubs sound like steakhouses, they make pork loins sound like plastic explosives.… Read more
Another brutal loss by the Royals tonight. Even after the pitching staff took things into their own hands (Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza hit an RBI single after the two batters before him failed to get a man on third home with no outs), the bullpen blew it in the eighth. This makes eight losses… Read more
Now that SNL has gone on summer hiatus, I guess you’ll have to rely on me for your weekend update-type news hits. There are several scandal-type things happening in Washington, but the one most Republicans seem to be trying extra hard to make stick is the IRS profiling of Tea Party groups looking for tax-exempt… Read more
Editor’s Note: The following begins a series of cross-posts with a new blog my friend Michael Clifford started, Cool, Dense Air. I will be posting other, non-Royals thoughts over there in addition to the sporadic KC content the few of you who stop by have come to love. Please be sure to check it out. In… Read more
