Sunday, January 16, 2011. It's My 100th Post! I noticed this weekend that after about 10 months of posting, I'll finally be hitting the triple digits. And I can think of no better way to celebrate my hundredth blog post than by ending my blog! That's why I'm shifting everything over to my new blog site, Looks Like Taylor Hicks. If you give a rat's ass, you're welcome to come visit over at www.looksliketaylorhicks.blogspot.com. If not, quite frankly, I don't blame you. Friday, January 14, 2011. I'm findin...

Dexter's Midnight Musings: Incidents on Fremont Street
http://dexterklemperer.blogspot.com/2013/08/incidents-on-fremont-street.html
Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Thursday, August 29, 2013. Incidents on Fremont Street. Everytime we come home from Las Vegas, I try to think of things and/or incidents that demonstrate why we think Las Vegas is the greatest place on earth. For example: the Las Vegas airport has a widely advertised liquor store. You can get the party started before you pick up your luggage. Ever wanted to flag down a taxi by waving a bottle of vodka? My interpretation: his buddy...

http://dexterklemperer.blogspot.com/2015/03/long-time-readers-will-remember.html
Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Another Love Letter to Las Vegas. Long time readers will remember our affinity for Las Vegas, if not, you can find it here. Or just go here for all of them. Anyway, we spent another spring break in the adult Disney World and came away with these observations/incidents:. One night while playing blackjack in a casino, an old hippy-ish gentleman with a long beard came rolling by in a wheelchair with a sound...

Dexter's Midnight Musings: The Voyeur in All of Us
http://dexterklemperer.blogspot.com/2010/05/voyeur-in-all-of-us.html
Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. The Voyeur in All of Us. It's not unusual to see a neighbor in a bathrobe fetching a newspaper from the front yard (except for the fact that very few people subscribe these days). But what if it's an evening newspaper? Not to my surprise, he wore his white bathrobe when he answered the door. During some small talk, St. Pauli Girl asked what he did for a living. He answered, "There isn't really a word for i...

http://dexterklemperer.blogspot.com/2009/11/hooterization-of-america.html
Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Sunday, November 15, 2009. The Hooterization of America. Who is teaching restaurant service etiquette these days? Cinnamon and Chiffon from the local exotic dance Club? After we perused the menu for a few minutes, Amber came back to take our order. Amber looked into my eyes and told me about the delicious Creole shrimp appetizer. Shrimp is healthier. And she works here; she knows food. Can you believe this? She asked. "Red? Hmmm, ...

Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Jumping on the Conspiracy Bandwagon. Three disturbing incidents happened recently in the great republic of Texas; henceforth referred to as the “Great Republic” subtitled “With Options to Secede.” (While doing a spell check on secede, I discovered a website: www.texassecede.com. So make that four disturbing incidents in recent weeks.). Most people would argue that this is just an unfortunate screw-up, ...

Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Friday, March 6, 2015. How Can I Help? Almost everyone has had a memorable/horrible experience dealing with technical support on the phone. But you might be surprised at how awful some of those technical calls go on behind the scenes for the technical people. Meanwhile, far, far away, my phone rings:. Suddenly we hear haunting religious music and a Gregorian chant on the phone). Yeah, what can I do for you? We're all working on it...

Dexter's Midnight Musings: Not Richard Scarry, but Dick Scary
http://dexterklemperer.blogspot.com/2010/07/not-richard-scarry-but-dick-scary.html
Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Sunday, July 25, 2010. Not Richard Scarry, but Dick Scary. This past Sunday while waiting for St. Pauli Girl to get ready for church, I stumbled across this headline in an online newspaper:. 8220;Pope Adds Children’s Book to Resume.”. Fantastic. It’s high time the Catholic Church got its act together and addressed the innocents it strives to protect. Luckily, I got my hands on an advance copy of the Pope’s new book:. Remember, we ...

Random thoughts from a carpetbagger living in the Great Republic of Texas. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. No Jacket, No Tie, No Service. Living in the Great Republic throws a wrench into this problem. . I recently scoffed at a be-wrinkled man in jeans and untucked shirt following around his attractive, cocktail-dressed wife. “Do you think she’ll even speak to him tonight? 8221; I asked St. Pauli Girl. “You think he could have at least put on a tie and ironed his shirt? So I have a lot to learn about Texas.
