Earrings
My dear mother-in-law came to visit on the weekend. While she was visiting, she made me a hat - the kind of hat that I wear indoors. (Some people claim that such things are not really hats, they’re skull caps. I call them ‘indoor hats’ ...
I thought I didn’t care
Ooops. I was wrong again. I thought that I really didn’t care much about how blogs are laid out. All this messing about with themes and picking colours and playing with widgets is kind of fun but I figured it all amounted to exactly one hill of...
Dirt for Supper
My mother was a good cook. She was as adventurous as one could be given the ingredients available in our town. When she had created some sort of health food concoction entirely of her own design, she said that we were having dirt for supper. This lea...
Short
I mean this post. I don’t mean me. I’m not short. I’m not tall either. Well, my kids think I’m tall now. I don’t suppose they will when they are all grown up. They might. I don’t give them coffee or caffeinated pop...
A New Computer
I’m typing this using my new computer. It isn’t entirely new. The computer itself is new. The old one was fine but I got a new one. I didn’t get a new mouse. That’s OK. My old mouse was fine. I didn’t get a new keyboard....
Daylight Savings Time
We just had our leap day. I was thinking “a whole extra day! Woooie! I can do a lot with that.” I can get a day’s worth of laundry done. I can reorganize the kitchen so that the plates are not above the dishwasher so that I don̵...
Nasal Pleasures
Yesterday. I thought I’d write a love post about MIL yesterday. I thought up this plan on Thursday. I knew I’d have some time on Friday night to write something. I was on the computer. I thought I might write it then and post it in the mo...
Orange Letters
One can write in a colour other than blue if one has a pen that isn’t blue. I happen to have a black pen. I like my black pen. I use it to write when I write in pen. I use my mechanical pencil way more than my pen though. It has the advantage t...
Mandatory?
Count up all of the people who have ever lived. I think you get about 12 billion. From my standpoint, the number you get depends on two things: how many people have ever lived and how good you are at counting. I figure that about 12 billion people ha...
News and Weather
It is minus thirty something. There used to be a TV show called “Thirty Something.” I didn’t watch it. I’m not so fond of the weather being what it is but it is to be expected. I do live in a frozen wasteland. My sweetie isn&#...
When the moon hits your eye…
…like a big pizza pie that’s amore. That makes no sense at all. How can the moon hit your eye? The light from the moon can hit your eye. But, light doesn’t hit one’s eyes anything like how a big pizza pie would hit one’s...
Size Complaints
I’m small. My children are small. When my children were very young, some of the times they went to the doctor, the doctor was concerned about their smallness. One time, the doctor stated that my child was in the bottom fifth percentile for weig...
Sick Then Busy
Three days to write a post and this is all I can manage?What happened?...
Blood Sacrifice at Perihelion
The great nuclear furnace in the sky came to its closest point today (or maybe yesterday - details like this don’t really matter in blogland - if you care, count yourself free to do a search on ‘perihelion aphelion date’ to find out for...
Time Portals
I’m not here. I don’t mean that I’m not here in the sense that I the author of this (currently) Billy Goat GRUFF! blog am not physically at the site of the Wordpress server nor that I am not physically in your room as you’re r...
Just when is the winter solstice?
The summer after we graduated, my sweetie and I took a month long trip to Europe and then moved in together. It was like a honeymoon though we didn’t get married until later. As young anti-establishment types of people, we didn’t want to ...
The Smell of Christmas
Somehow or other it seems that the immune systems of the people in my family react to stressful situations. As stress builds, they increase their efforts until they snap. This is a busy time of year. Winter has arrived - or impending winter I should ...
Errors and Scheduling
My coworkers look like humans. Sometimes that fools me into thinking that they are humans and I accidentally treat them that way instead of thinking of them as drones working their way up in the system. That is, I tell them what I think instead of fi...
Fan Mail Part N + 2
I’m still lazy. I have about 10 minutes to spare today and I got some particularly funny fan mail today. So, I’m posting it....
Fan Mail Part N plus 1
I’m being lazy. This arrived in my inbox moments ago with a request that I publicize it. So, I am....
I Think I’m Funny
I have for the last while put the things that I think are most entertaining here instead of on any other site. This morning, as I was having my first cup of coffee, I wrote an article that I think is destined to be classic BONGOid material. I do ofte...
Reposting AGAIN!
I am having adventures elsewhere today. Since it is post every day month and I post every day anyway (unless I’m not posting every day which I’ve vowed to do come December), I’m posting a slightly altered version of something I post...
Concrete Abstract
The humans say things that I don’t understand. I’m used to that. It has a whole lot to do with using words that I don’t understand. ...
A Song about Satan
I think of cars as intrinsically evil. Part of this is because they are evil. There are other factors though. The main one is that whenever I’m passenger in a car, I am whelmed and sometimes even overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea. When I was l...
Coughing into Elbows
The latest fashion in coughing is coughing into one’s elbow. At least, this is what my sweetie says. When I cough, I usually do cough into my elbow. I started doing that because it seemed more sensible than coughing on my hands and much less li...
Braking News: Drivers Drive Sensibly
Dateline: this morning on my way to work I looked out my window this morning and saw fresh snow: the first real snowfall of the year. The roads looked icy. I thought, “Great. It’ll take at least an hour to get to work. There will be moron...
Back on the home world…
The Banana Farmer is back. I’m glad of this. For the duration of this post, I’ll be using the terms that are the humans use as a matter of convention. This should make it easier for any human readers to comprehend. There is no need for me...
Aurora Moronis
Some years ago, I took my family to a small music festival involving camping. We went early and returned late so we were camping for a week. We all had a splendid time. On returning home, my youngest was very happy (who had a spectacularly great time...

Sometimes I’m just plain naughty. ...
Double Negation Removal
Another of the bits of reasoning that some people have issues with is double negation removal. The idea is that two ‘not’s cancel each other. Part of the situation is the same as with RAA. Some people reject DNR good reasons. Some people don&...
