Review: White Chocolate

November 18, 2019December 18, 2019 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

Thanks for voting this in as the topic of this installment of True Jest and all that but I’ve got no patience for pleasantries today. Let’s do this. Counsel Bullock rises from the sturdy oak chair, re-positions the documents in front of him to perfect parallel alignment, then unconscionably tosses his ink pen haphazardly upon … Continue reading Review: White Chocolate

Gluttony: A story of wedded bliss and revenge

October 14, 2019December 18, 2019 / Truth in Jest / 1 Comment

Y'all petty. Thanks to all who participated in the Instagram poll to choose this topic. I’m delighted that you’re so interested in petty revenge. And now, our feature presentation. We did it! Over one full year into marriage and I feel as lucky as the day my (then) fiance said “yes!” I can still feel … Continue reading Gluttony: A story of wedded bliss and revenge

Letting people in

February 14, 2019December 18, 2019 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

I know what you think of me. You've read a couple of my blogs already and you’re still in tears with laughter. You think to yourself: “Golly! This guy really knows the score. He’s sharp and witty. He’s probably a delight to be around and, if I had to guess, just a gorgeous sculpture of … Continue reading Letting people in

Larry’s jowls

December 29, 2018December 30, 2018 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

Hold up. HOLD! UP! I was all geared up to end 2018 with a poignant and sober assessment of the political landscape in the U.S. I swear. It was written out, edited and ready to publish – a 1700 word kick in the ass, to spark some real change… And then something incredibly unsettling came … Continue reading Larry’s jowls

Review: Bidets

October 7, 2018November 17, 2021 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

You know how you get into your busy season at work and you’re working 30 consecutive 12+ hour days and you look up from your computer and summer time has turned into fall time?  Hopefully you don’t but I certainly do. That’s why it brings me so much joy to return to my writer’s saddle … Continue reading Review: Bidets

Net Positive: The everyman’s guide to sexual attractiveness

April 16, 2018 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

Back when my self-image was murkier, I found it difficult to believe it when my older and/or more self-assured male friends used to advise me that “getting girls is less about what you look like than you think.” “Easy for you to say,” I thought. “You look like you and I look like me.” For … Continue reading Net Positive: The everyman’s guide to sexual attractiveness

The struggle is real

March 9, 2018 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

Everyone’s “hood” is different. In certain contexts (like the one I’m using now), it’s a label we place on neighborhoods which are impoverished to a degree and/or contain some element of danger. Whether or not you came from one can be a matter of opinion and the last thing I care to address are questions … Continue reading The struggle is real

What’s breakfast?

February 6, 2018February 8, 2018 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

Hello, and welcome back to Truth in Jest Studios. Pardon the hiatus; our field researcher/chief editor/reporter/founder was conducting weeks’ worth of interviews and fact-checking so that we could bring you a little something different this time around: a brief documentary of one remarkable young man and his life-altering discovery. Thank you for your patience and … Continue reading What’s breakfast?

Don’t worry. I haven’t been kidnapped.

January 2, 2018 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

I knew this day would come: the day I alienate half of my readers with a personal opinion. I’ve had a good run though – I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for a year; I’m so grateful to anyone who’s read or enjoyed any of this nonsense. And, to half of you: so sorry … Continue reading Don’t worry. I haven’t been kidnapped.

Escaping the friend zone

December 3, 2017 / Truth in Jest / Leave a comment

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now or (gasp) from the beginning, you may have noticed a subtle shift. Early on I was all about pure, unbridled ridiculousness, one of my favorites being my review of ice cream sandwiches. And I started there for one simple reason: those are the most fun … Continue reading Escaping the friend zone
