Daily Inflammation

The only rule to Daily Inflammation…There are no rules! If you are afraid of Virginia Woolf then this is not the section for you. The stream of consciousness flows as I share keen insights rooted in common sense, separating fact from fiction, truth from lies, microwave safe dishes from those that arc and explode, developed from seventy years of living what only can be described as “The common, everyman lifestyle” (except for the microwave part which was only recently learned).
This is Controversy Central! I’ll know I’m successful when I have to issue my first tearful apology. “My words were taken out of context…Boo Hoo”

Happy New Year!

Have you written your list of resolutions?  Should be easy.  Simply  copy last year’s list and put it in a safe place to be retirieved again next year.

Goodbye, Old Friend!

12.31.2020 by Fred Berman //

Today I bid farewell to an old friend who greeted me every morning, sent me on my way with a touch of sweetness and stood by me for many years.  But youth must be served so fare-thee-well Cap’n Crunch.  May you find the missing “tai” and at long last be addressed by the full title you so richly deserve!

Hello New Companion

12.30.2020 by Fred Berman //

Today my breakfast bowl welcomes Post Shredded Wheat and Bran.  What I lose in sugar I Make up in whole grains, fiber and non-GMO wheat.  Maybe not as tasty as The Cap’n was but with a unique ability to keep things moving through my intestines.  As the years progress one’s priorities change.

To All Idiot Hoarders!

12.29.2020 by Fred Berman //

     I went to the store today and with the new lockdown orders there was not a single roll of toilet paper to be had.  SHAME ON YOU HOARDERS! Fortunately for us  I still have a dozen cases taking up half of my garage from the last scare, so I will be the bigger person and not buy any more.

By My Count…

12.28.2020 by Fred Berman //

…There are over 73,000,000 Americans that are either racist, condone racism or are just nut bag conspiracy theorists.  I send them my love and suggest they wear aluminum foil hats to prevent the government from penetrating their brains with compassion!

I Don’t Get It

12.27.2020 by Fred Berman //

On an impulse I went to the Deli section of the market and slapped the salami. I was asked to leave and escorted to the door.

Christmas is over and…

12.26.2020 by Fred Berman //

My credit cards are not maxed-out.  I guess I am not religious and don’t understand the true meaning of the holiday.

COME ALL YE Faithful CRYPTOGRAPHERS

12.25.2020 by Fred Berman //

Are you up for a try at Christmas code-breaking?  This one hails from the cold war eastern bloc country of Curmudgeonistan .
Difficult but decipherable.  Hint:  before giving up try ASCII.

Coded Message: 
“Merry Christmas to all.  Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.
May the spirit of Christmas be with you now and forever.”

Actual Message Once Decoded:
“Bah! Humbug!”

Honoring Those That Served

11.11.2020 by Fred Berman //

Do you suppose that any soldier on the front lines cared about the party affiliation of any person in his platoon? They united against a common enemy and had each others back. They were all Americans. If only we were smart enough to realize the true enemy is ignorance and hate, not someone who chooses a different political party. And you idiot, the other party loves America as much as you do…probably more if they believe in free speech.

THERE IS ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE!

11.09.2020 by Fred Berman //

I watched a news item today where a television preacher mocked the President-Elect clomping up and down the stage shrieking HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
His flock, good people of faith, were laughing and encouraging him. And these people give money and help support his six million dollar mansion and his private jet.  I am not a biblical scholar but I am sure there is a passage or psalm in there somewhere glorifying his spewing of hate and unbridled greed.
