Howdy ho neighbors... This is Rikki Andersin. As you might have surmised by the name, the giant hair, the revealing tits and the SUPER short dress... Rikki is a porn star.  Rikki starred in a number of porn films in the mid 90s... Then Rikki retired from film making and disappeared into anonymity that is "normal" American life...

But you know sometimes it just doesn't feel right... and this one didn't.  So you don't get to see my post about how one of them looked like Joey Tribbiani and how one looked like John Travolta from 1975 and how one looked like Yukon Cornelius ...

Hey everyone... Some quick thoughts... First off on Libya... saw over the weekend that Gaddafi's son came out and said that the turmoil that is overtaking the country is WAY overblown... uh... yeah... where have we seen that before?"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others

By federal law, women are prohibited from being in positions in the military that involve direct combat with the enemy.  There are two branches of the Army that women can't serve in... Infantry and Field Artillery. Of course with today's warfare that's pretty much just a joke.  There are no front lines.  Combat Support and Combat Service Support branches now regularly engage with the enemy...

Well first off I have to say... Fuck you, Hosni Mubarak.  For over 2 weeks I've been watching the events unfold in Egypt.  I went to bed last night expecting to see the people of Cairo storming the presidential palace.  I woke up this morning and the crowds were still growing.  Then the ONE FUCKING TIME I wasn't watching is when you decide to resign.  Thanks a whole hell of a lot asshole. ---

Hello everyone... So today is the day I talk about the Super Bowl... Probably more about the pop culture of it that the actual football because... well honestly it wasn't that interesting of a game. First off... Dallas/Arlington... you get a big ass FAIL at hosting the Super Bowl.  Ok I know there was a giant snow storm right before it, but it's not like that doesn't ever happen in Dallas... as

I hope everyone is having a decent Friday... Mine's... eh. There's a new TV show on USA that I like... And not because it has the sexiest woman on TV on it (ok... not JUST because... it certainly helps). I discovered Sarah Shahi when I was watching Life.  She played police detective Dani Reese who was partnered with a guy who was a police officer wrongly convicted of murder and spent 12 years

I was in 8th grade. I walked into my "Advanced Studies" class in the afternoon.  The class was designed for kids who were "gifted" and every day our teacher gave us a worksheet of mind-teasers and other brain bending questions.  I picked up the day's worksheet and read at the top: "Today is a very sad day." I had no idea what it meant.  The day was January 28, 1986. --- The patch to the

Swung by the Pike Library a few days ago and found a few more secrets... "My boyfriends mom is racest.  She hates that im half black. I cry when i think About it." "I like the feeling when I cut.  It feels good and the taste of weed and booze.  People call me weird and crazy and sometimes an addict.  I guess I don't know what I am.  I wish I was addicted so someone would care.  And pray."

So hello... it's Friday... Tomorrow is the NFL Conference Championships...  One of the games is the Bears against the Packers... here's something I thought was interesting... The Bears/Packers is the longest rivalry in the NFL, having first played each other in 1921.  Over the years they've met 181 times with the Bears holding a slight advantage in wins at 92.  The Packers have 83 and there

Just a quick little post to say a few things... First off... Stopped at Barnes & Noble in Clay Terrace while I was out at lunch and found another secret.  Seriously people, either people in Indianapolis have a LOT of secrets or you just need to look better at your bookstores/libraries. I'm in love with my best friend's boyfriend.  We're all 3 best friends. It was written on the back of a

Stopped by the library last night... found some new secrets in the PostSecret book there: Next to the card that says "I'm afraid to answer the telephone" someone left a secret: "I wish mine would just ring."   "I used to self mutilate for the attention.  Now I overeat because of the habit I formed when I was young.  I wish I could stop!" "I hate my job" Finally...  "Ditto" and "Me 3" I

Yes I'm going to make fun of conservatives, so if that's what you are and you have a thin skin you might want to just jump down further... First idiot is Glenn Beck...

Good morning blogizens... First on my radar today is a survey from my kids school... Little background... The school my kids go to failed to meet the state average for the 2nd straight year this year in ISTEP testing.  As a result there's a bunch of things they have to do... they have to allow parents to transfer their kids to a school that did meet the state standards without penalty (really?

Good morning everyone... First I'm going to start with football and the dumbass comment of the day... It comes from Matt Millen, the former GM of the Detroit Lions who pretty much took a football team that sucked and inexplicably make it suck even more.  He was asked to comment on John Elway becoming the VP of Operations for the Denver Broncos...

We had an earthquake here in Indiana (Like you haven't seen pictures of the devastation!)

Since they couldn't force it offline they decided to go after its funding.  MasterCard and Visa stopped accepting payments for WikiLeaks... and in

So yeah it's been a while since I posted.  I'm still unemployed so that definitely puts a crap in my writing... Been having a lot of problems at home.  A lot of them are my fault. Mrs Ryan and I talked for a while and she's quite upset that I don't seem to want to pay attention to her.  She thinks I don't find her attractive anymore.  I tried telling her I did and we talked (and yelled) a lot

As is customary... first a couple of secrets found at the Borders - Keystone @ Crossing... Now's your chance.  Do it! The one true love of my life ruined me for all other women.  I love her yet hate her for leaving me alone. I had a bunch of shit I was going to write about... but decided against it.  Just don't feel like doing to a core dump right now.  Plus I don't really like this blog to

Good morning (actually afternoon) everyone... First off... new secrets... I'm  told that I helped save a boy I go to school with from killing himself.  I don't feel like any better a person.  Is this how Jamie Tworkowski wakes up every morning? Jamie Tworkowski founded "To Write Love On Her Arms" a suicide prevention organization. I want to quit grad school but fear I'll let everyone down

Hello all... Found a couple more secrets...  "This is not the first time this has happened. :(  I'm really a good person!" This was written on a receipt from an Aunt Millie's Bakery Outlet store.  The total came to $6.66. "I tell my friends I haven't cut in a year.  I'm lying." "I have thought about killing myself on more than one occasion." "I'm developing a pretty serious shoe fetish.  I

Hey all... So I was singing along with the Pogues in my car on the way to work... I love the Pogues... they've been called a cross between the Chieftains and the Sex Pistols and that's pretty accurate. Anyway the only one I have currently working is "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"... my copy of "Essentials" is broken... well actually that's not true, I also have a copy of "Rum Sodomy and

Not a whole lot to say today... Things are still pretty crappy at home.  I guess that's why I don't really have anything to say.  I mean I don't want this to be a "oh woe is me" type blog.  That's why I fill most of it with asinine things from the world... I looked the Huffington Post and Drudge for something to post but eh... just not feeling it today.

Just a quick post to show you a couple of the secrets I found at the Greenwood Borders... "For every guy in my life, there's been a Taylor Swift song.  Thank you for writing my romantic life musically." "I blew him twice... sorry I never told you... since you're sort of in love with him." "I'm not angry.  I'm not bitter.  I'm just sad for us. Because I know what we could've been." There

Idiot of the day... well actually it's a couple of people and it happened a while ago but it's in the news again... and that's the principal of a NE Pennsylvania HS.  See the guy decided for whatever reason he had to search a 16yr old for something... and in the process of

Hello everyone... Well it seems I may have stumbled upon a new job rather quickly.  Not sure if I'll end up liking it or not but it's money.  Friday I had an interview and the guy was... pretty much an unorganized mess doing 3-4 things at once. First off he called be around 11a and we set a time for 1pm.  Fine, he said he'd send me information on where it was etc etc etc.  No problem... I

So yeah I've been quiet on Twitter today... there's a reason for that. See I lost my job yesterday.  I think I'd mentioned a few times that I thought my boss might be setting me up for failure... well... fail indeed I did.  They let me go supposedly for performance issues although I thought in the last few months I'd actually gotten a lot better... well apparently they didn't.

Hello everyone... First up... I went to the PostSecret exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art... it was outstanding.  Seeing the cards online is neat... seeing them in person is special.  Best way I can describe is like when I went to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC.  You've seen pictures of the black granite but until you're right in front of it seeing the names you

Hey all...Couple of rants today I think...First is idiot of the day Laura Schlessinger.  "Dr." Laura, as she goes by on the radio, is a right-wing ideologue who spouts 90% nonsense while sounding all homey and nice.  My first rant about Dr Laura is an old one... She's on the radio spouting advice to her callers like radio therapist Frazier... So you wonder why she calls herself Dr Laura... what

So yesterday the Colts played their first pre-season game... and like usual the first team started off and was spectacular... and like usual the back-up QB came in and OMGWTFBBQ Curtis Painter is bad... In the 2nd Quarter alone Painter had 3 INTs and 1 fumble.  He finished the game with a 16 passer rating.  Which shockingly is an IMPROVEMENT from the last

So I spent the weekend up north.  Really reminded me of why I don't live up there any more.  Good god it's the middle of nowhere.  Daughter made the joke about 1/2 hour into the drive "Well we've reached Nowhere... now we just have to get to the middle of it..." I'd be remiss if I didn't offer up my own apologies to Sherrod Brown.  Turns out that video of her was due to some creative editing.

The USS Indianapolis was heavy cruiser in the US Navy, commissioned in 1932.  During WWII, she fought in most of the major naval battles accumulating 10 battle stars for her service and serving as the flagship for Admiral Spruance and the 5th Fleet. In the Battle of Okinawa, the USS Indianapolis was hit by a kamikaze fighter and was badly damaged.  It returned to Pearl Harbor for repairs.

When I was growing up I went to St Francis Church... I was a good little church going boy, did my first communion (which immediately afterwards they decided that any baptized Christian could receive communion), became an altar boy, went on church trips. For the most part, as I grew older and got into high school and then college, I grew away from the Church. I don't consider myself a Christian

Hello everyone...Short post today...Couple of things... First a World Cup update...The US tied Slovenia 2-2 after going down 2-0 early in the first half. They battled back and scored one early in the 2nd half and then one late in the 2nd half to tie. They should have scored the winning goal but for some as-of-yet unexplained reason the referee waved it off. Bastard.Anyway what that means is...

Good afternoon...Ummm...So therapy hasn't been going great for us... it really just doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere and really feels like we're going backwards. In our last session we just came out and said that we both wanted to be married to the people we were married to 10 years ago. I've become more depressed and withdrawn... she's become more negative about everything... we're

Hello on Super Sucky Tuesday...Today's day started off crappy. I needed a safety pin for the pants I was going to wear. I ask Mrs Ryan if she knew where her pin box was... Yes but I'd had to wait for her to get them... she was going to the bathroom... So I wait... and wait... I believe they're on her shelf somewhere... So after a few minutes I go back... Can you give me an idea where on the

Today's idiots of the day goes to the ladies of Pi Beta Phi in Ohio.

Morning everyone...I'm in a crappy mood this morning because I'm tired as fuck. I stayed up too late watching Lost last night... I'll spare you a recap of it... mainly because I don't think I could explain it even if I wanted to. Most than any other show I've ever seen Lost always left me saying "What the fuck what that???" and the finale was pretty much the same.One thing that did disappoint

Hello Thursday... it's a pretty good day so far... (mainly because it was a pretty good evening)...Anyway let's get right down to it...Idiot of the day is Rand Paul, the Republican nominee for the US Senate from Kentucky. Rand is the son of Ron Paul and that in itself should give you pause. Ron Paul, imnsho, is a uber-idiot and the nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Rand is a Tea Party

Hello Tuesday...I had a relatively good evening, mostly due to an excellent late night chat with someone... so, so far Tuesday hasn't sucked too badly, but there's still plenty of time...More idiots for this Tuesday starting off with Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Dick, generally it's a bad idea to lie about your past. It's an even worse idea to lie about serving in combat.

Hello Monday...One of the few redeeming qualities of Indianapolis is the Indianapolis 500.Since 1911, drivers have pushed themselves and their machines to the extreme for 500 miles around a relatively flat rectangular track. The first winner in 1911 was Ray Harroun who drove his car 500 miles at an average speed of 74 mph. That's nearly 7 hours... In the early days foreign drivers dominated

Good afternoon everyone...Got practice tonight... yay... should take my mind off of crap...In the category of sports and idiocy...There have been rumours swirling about that SCOTUS nominee Elana Kagan is a lesbian. Of course all the liberals and the White House immediately got pissed off that anyone would suggest such a thing... not that there's anything wrong with it. She isn't by the way...

By now I'm sure everyone knows about my fondness of the lower portions of a lady's body. From the waist down, if she's kickin' it down there it's awesome... That's a big reason why I'm a fan of heels, they accentuate a woman's sexy legs.And that's also a reason why I find so many women golfers sexy... they wear shorts and skirts a lot and they're athletic...And on that note I have to note the

Cinco de Mayo is not the Mexican Independence Day... as a matter a fact it's not even a national holiday in Mexico... although it is a state holiday in the Mexican state of Puebla... Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla in which Mexican forces defeated the French army during Franco-Mexican War... of course people fail to remember

Hello everyone...Well Boobquake is over... and well I don't know if it was a success or a failure... depends on how you define it. Were they trying to cause an earthquake? If so, they failed to produce an increase in seismic activity. But if they were trying to prove the Iranian cleric is an idiot... well they didn't really need to prove that did they? Didn't we already know this? Either way
