The Rooster

My office now doubles as a sniper-perch because we have an issue with squirrels getting up into our soffit (the area between the roof and walls that leads to the attic.)  There are few sounds worse than that of some creature scurrying about inside your walls as you lie in bed trying to fall asleep, [...]

Eat Your Heart Out, Ralphie.

Happy Holidays, party people; hope it all rocks. And to all you squirrels up in my soffit, with my new Daisy air rifle, I will shoot your fucking eyes out. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Anniversary Mrs. Punter. This one’s for you…

I can’t think of a better song than this one, to articulate how I feel about you and how much I love you. Happy Anniversary, my Love, my Muse, my Heart.

Kindra Arnesan on the BP Oil Disaster in the Gulf.

The following 15-minute video is pretty much all you need to know regarding what is happening on the front-lines of the BP Oil Disaster.  Kindra Arnes, a Venice, LA, native, delivers a mind-blowing account of her dealings with BP, and the effects the oil-giant’s spill has had on her community.  I know it’s a bit [...]

…On The Longest Day of the Year.

Ain’t no party like a Solstice party, ’cause a Solstice party don’t stop! Other than the freaks here at Stonehenge, no one really makes much of a fuss about the Summer Solstice.  Considering the importance the ancients placed on this annual solar event, History’s original summer blockbusters if you will, you would think that something [...]

The Monday Morning Punter is BACK, baby…

…and I’ve got my sights trained on that big fucking TV at “Jerry World” in Dallas!  Something had to get me out of my semi-retirement, and that “Helly of a Telly” is just the thing to get the punting juices flowing (see: British slang term for “punter” to make the last three words funnier.)  Also, [...]

…on Summer 2008, in Review (late July-August-early Sept).

While brevity is not one of my strong suits, I shall try to keep my commentary on the last half of the summer short and sweet – so short and sweet, in fact, that my observations and opinions on some noteworthy events from the last half of the summer shall be presented in the form [...]

…on Mr. & Mrs. Punter’s 3rd Wedding Anniversary.

Three years ago today I married my wife, Jen, at the Packer Chapel on the beautiful campus of Lehigh University, our Alma Mater. We took our vows literally a few hundred yards from where we met almost twelve years ago. We were blessed with a spectacular summer day in 2005, not unlike the beautiful weather [...]

…on Same-Sex Marriage.

Jen and I are coming up on our 3rd anniversary in a few weeks; so I suppose that means we can no longer be considered newlyweds. And seeing as though we had been together for eight years prior to getting married, cohabitating half the time, we were never really newlyweds, in the traditional sense, anyways. [...]
