Living Your Life in 8 Second Intervals

May 16, 2016 by

17

  Back in 2014, when Life in the Boomer Lane wrote her last post on aging and height loss, the world was a much more innocent place, chiefly because the presidential primaries had not yet begun and because LBL was still over 5′ tall. In the interim, both American politics and LBL’s height have dipped to […]

March 28, 2016 by

  (Phone rings) National Enquirer, here. If it bites, we write. If it shrieks, we leak. If it smells, we yell. Uh, hi. I have a story that you guys should write. OK.  Hillary Adopts Bill’s Alien Love Child?  Elvis-Worshipping Tribe Found in Jungle?   Brangelina Double Sex Change Surgery? GOP Considers Bigfoot Nomination? Severed […]

The New Hampshire Nipple Bill

Lest you thought that New Hampshire was only known for primaries and the Pitco Frialator, you would be wrong, especially this year. With the exit of the politicians, media, pizza delivery people, and professional make up artists from the state on February 9, New Hampshire did not revert to its usual no-news condition. New Hampshire has […]

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

  Life in the Boomer Lane watched a comedy clip recently, in which a reporter (fake) attended a Trump rally (real). First, he spoke to some of the people in the parking lot, waiting to go into the rally. He asked one young man how Trump was going to defeat ISIS. The answer was “Bomb […]

  (Trump’s phone rings, and he answers) Hello, person who loves me.  Build that wall. Ban Muslims. Carry guns. Repeal Obamacare. Boycott Megyn Kelly’s show. Wear my hats and tee shirts. Vote for me. Make America great again.  Hey Donald, Yeezy here. So I heard that you said you were the most popular person who […]

Trump: The Man, the Candidate, the President

February 15, 2016 by

64

Many years ago, I had a surgeon with a terrible bedside manner. He was abrupt and spoke above my level of understanding. There was nothing about this man that I liked. But he had a great reputation as a surgeon, and surgery was what I needed. And the surgical theater is not equivalent to the theater […]

Why Can’t We All Just get Along?

Life in the Boomer Lane could barely contain her sadness over the recent dischord between some mighty high profile people. She will now bring you up to date on these events so that you can be as depressed as she is: Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa Wiz tweeted something about Kanye’s new album “Waves.” Kanye […]

31

Donald Trump’s assertion that he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and his groupies would still support him, was met with outrage on the part of other Republican Presidential wannabees.  Because of that, Republicans held a special debate, in which the top five candidates could have their say. It went something like this: […]

Trump Tests His Fan Base

January 23, 2016 by

  Donald J Trump, addressing a campain rally in Iowa, said of his loyal fan base, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s, like, incredible,” Life in the Boomer Lane is not making this up.  She believes Trump’s atatement is true, unless the person Trump shoots is […]

Aliens, Aliens, and the Alienated

Life in the Boomer Lane, in an attempt to not write about the Republicans vying for the Presidential nomination, was in danger of coming up blank for this blog. But, knowing that legions of fans out there have come to depend on starting their days with LBL’s sophmoric humor, she perused her current isuue of […]
