Being Wrong Has Never Felt So Right!

Monday, February 4th, 2008

“Well, you weren’t as lucky as your fiancé was!” says the salesclerk, whom I’m now calling, “Buzzard Woman”.

Garage…I Mean, Yard…I Mean, Rummage…Ah Hell, "Sale".

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

It’s amazing how many people want to buy stuff. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as they can talk you down a dollar or two, they’ll buy it.

Ray's Guide to Picking Up the Chicks

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Women want to know that a guy is financially stable and can afford to buy them the nice things in life like candy necklaces and oversized novelty cigars. This is the reason I normally tape nickels and pennies to my shoes.

Driving Tips From the Jerk-Hole That I had to Share the Road With This Morning

Monday, April 9th, 2007

I call these things, “car-ranks”. It’s, “car” and “pranks” put together. I like to make up words sometimes because I’m an idiot.

My Freakin' Ears!

Monday, March 26th, 2007

The girlfriend and I have been going to a lot of school productions lately. She’s a teacher and my restraining orders have been lifted at many area schools so going to these plays and musicals seems like the thing to do for the both of us.

By You for You

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Ray the Amazing

Monday, December 4th, 2006

While I am taken quite aback at the sight of this old guy in way too loose briefs, I was able to keep my calm:

Pray 4 Me

Monday, November 13th, 2006

You see, it’s being sick that makes me cranky and therefore I lash out at everyone around me-especially those I love. Oh, except for you Aunt Mary. I meant what I said about your chicken noodle soup. You needed to hear it, okay?

The Lost Soap

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Gather ‘round, children…you with the crossed eyes, sit in the back. You’re freaking me out…I want to tell you a story.

Ray Addresses a Tearful Nation

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

…It’s just sometimes I’m the type of model that you find in a Wal-Mart circular. They mean well, but they just don’t do the job.

Tele-fun!!!

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Andy’s response is kicking me in the mouth. I lose one of my PERMANENT teeth.

28!

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Really, it was a miracle you lived through your first five years of life. Your parents deserved to be congratulated one day of the year.

The Fantasy Ray League

Monday, August 7th, 2006

See, I’ve decided lately that if someone asks me to do something that I don’t want to do I’m going to kick them in the crotch so that they stop asking right there and don’t feel like maybe they can convince me to do it after I've already said, "no".

The Price of Being Healthy

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

However, I am finding some pants of mine starting to get a little snug around the waist and this time it’s not because I've stuffed a cucumber down the front of them as a way to impress the ladies at the local park

Blair Warner and Her Cousin Ruined My 4th of July

Baby-Mania!

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Little known fact: Cleaning a gun when a boyfriend shows up isn't nearly as scary as castrating a dog with a pair of scissors on the front porch. THAT will make the guys think twice.

Thoughts at Wal-Mart

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

“What were the words to the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ theme song? Was it something like, “Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, hmmm hmmm hmmm…no, wait, that’s the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” tune…right words, wrong tune…”

Ray's Guide to Picking up the Chicks

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Chicks dig a guy who cares about his appearance. They also dig guys that are smart. Therefore, I constantly wear a shirt that I got back in fourth grade when I finally got an "A". Sure, I’ve outgrown the, "child’s size medium" top, but my proven intelligence drives the girls wild.

Air Mattresses Blow (get it?)

Sunday, April 16th, 2006

It was uncomfortable having someone watch me try to decide if I was comfortable or not. Seeing as though I don’t think I could ever be fully comfortable and ready to sleep if someone was standing over my bed, I just couldn’t seem to get in the right mindset. Want to know a good way to get these people to leave you alone? Do what I did — immediately roll over on your stomach and massage your butt. For some reason, that worked (and it brought the police!).

Not Exactly, "Sportsman of the Year"

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Please feel free to try any of these sports and start your own leagues. My only request is that you preface each sport name with “Ray Tice memorial” and yell my praises after your rendition of the National Anthem.

Technology is My Papi

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

It goes like this. My computer went kaput a couple of months ago and I haven’t been able to do anything at all. That’s right, no e-mails (sorry, nana), no online gambling, hell-no online studying of the female anatomy. It’s been horrible.

Important announcement for 2006

Saturday, December 10th, 2005

Ray’s list of everything else he could have been doing that morning:
- sleeping

Halloween Ramblings

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

I think that they should make haunted houses for adults that feature the types of things that scare us now as opposed to what scared us when we were younger.

Least Amount of Money

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

“Whatever,” I said, “I’ll do anything else you guys want me to.” I was trying to sound macho, but you didn’t know these guys…it was sure to be something bad.

The Bags I've Peed In

Monday, August 8th, 2005

I'm a Brown Belt in Tae Kwon Do, but You Could Still Probably Kick My Ass

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Now that I look back at it, maybe I shouldn't have invited them to come watch my fight with you, but then I wouldn't have had a ride.
