The Real Alien Menace
What with all the nonsense going on in the world right now, it is understandable that some folks might not have UFOs on their radar, so to speak. If you are one of these people, know that, while you are going about your daily business, worrying about trival items like nuclear war, climate change, the […]
Amazon Eats Whole Foods
June 19, 2017
Amazon, in it’s trajectory toward world domination, has just purchased Whole Foods. Whole Foods, for those of you who live 50 miles outside of town and grow all of your own food, is an upscale grocery store chain, in which one can purchase individually-wrapped grapes, each with a story about country of origin and a […]
A Phone Conversation Between Trump and His Financial Advisor
August 1, 2016
Joe, Donald here. I’m a little bit upset. And, as you know, no one can get as little bit upset as I can. It’s really extraordinary, when you think about it. I know, Donald. Can you get to the point? That Kahn person, who lost his son in Afghanistan, spoke at the Dem’s convention and […]
The New Hampshire Nipple Bill
March 2, 2016
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.

Umpqua
October 2, 2015
The latest school shooting has just occurred in Umpqua, Oregon. The latest group of parents are experiencing what no parent should: the death of a child. The President has made his statement. The news media has covered the event. Those on both sides of the issue have spoken their predictable words. To those who represent […]
Self-Identification and You
June 22, 2015
For the past couple weeks, it’s been a wild ride in the self-identification field. Caitlyn Jenner, in self-identifying as a woman, not only won a gold medal for transgender people around the world, but caused us to question our long-held notions of sex, gender, and how it is entirely possible to escape the clutches of […]
Time Magazine’s Person of the Year
December 18, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane took a break from reading accusations that Barack Obama is a Muslim Communist, in order to review the past year. Many people would agree that 2014 can’t end soon enough. It has seemed, at times, that we have all been on a long downhill slide, greased by the hijacking […]
How to Be A Good Jihadi Wife
November 1, 2014
It’s tough enough to be a good wife when one’s spouse has a 9-5 job. It’s a totally different kettle of fish to be a jihadi wife. Even a simple good-bye kiss at the door becomes quite complicated when one is wearing a burka and one’s spouse’s head is wrapped entirely in black cloth. […]

A woman who thought she had found her soul mate on an online dating site, ultimately found herself trapped in the chimney of said man. Last week, Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, 30, was rescued by a team of firefighters after attempting to enter the man’s home in Los Angeles. Homeowner Lawrence Fernandez said the pair had been on […]
An Interview With 114-Year-Old Anna Stoehr
October 17, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane’s father was often fond of saying “The first 100 years are the hardest.” Anna Stoehr of Minnesota proves him wrong. Stoehr, age 114, was forced to lie about her age in order to join Facebook. She was born in 1900, but Facebook doesn’t let new users choose a birth […]
