Slowly Working Into It

Posted in Blogging on April 15th, 2011 by Brian

Nothing new here so far today, but I did post some of my usual anti-taxing district boilerplate at 24th State.

So if you need some Noggle, there you go.

Also, you are freed from your duty to absquatulate with my radio on Monday. Thank you, that is all.

A Face For Radio

Posted in Blogging on April 7th, 2011 by Brian

Behold, I have begun video blog posts for QA Hates You.

That was more fun putting together than another blog post about how our government, abetted by a random collection of 50.005% of voter turnout on winter and spring ballot dates, are continuing to crush individual citizens.

Prepare the Fanfare

April 5 does mark the fifth anniversary of Musings from Brian J. Noggle.

Thanks for reading.

Andrew Hicks LIVES!

Posted in Blogging, Life on March 7th, 2011 by Brian

I don’t know why Andrew Hicks’s name popped into my mind tonight. But there it was.

Back in the late 1997s, I encountered his “A Year in the Life of a Nerd” series of posts where he talked about being a teenager in a western St. Louis suburb and then going to Mizzou. As fast as a 14,400 BPS modem and an AOL account would let me, I ran through the whole set to that point.

So once his name popped into my head, I did an Internet search, and lo! The Andrew Hicks World Wide Web Extravaganza, those years in the life of a nerd, have been republished as a blog, by a fan no less. Frankly, I don’t think any of you would do the same for me.

Meanwhile, now over 30, Andrew Hicks is a daddy blogger in Springfield…. Illinois.

Time for a Christmas Rerun

Posted in Blogging on December 21st, 2010 by Brian

Actually, it’s a Christmas redirect.  Here’s a link to a short story entitled “Die Hard MDCXCII: Die Really, Really, REALLY Hard” that I originally posted 6 years ago, which is approximately 49 in Internet years.

The story is from 1990 and represents some obvious wish fulfillment. But the guys at the grocery store where I worked and that is depicted therein thought it was a hoot. Hopefully, you’ll be slightly amused in places, too.

No ‘Sup For You

Nothing new today, sorry. All I did was port over my Atari Party pages from blogspot.

He Juxtaposed The Stories, Not Me

Bungalow Bill offers two stories this morning, one right after the other:

He’s Still Here?

Look whom I refound: the only blogger on the Internet I’ve ever actually caught violating my copyright. Appropriately, Harvey’s blog is still called Bad Example.

Noggle On Your Daily Caller

Posted in Blogging on November 12th, 2010 by Brian

A couple of weeks ago, a writer for the Daily Caller contacted me about my obsessive-compulsive, kinda creepy behavior.

The resulting article is here.

I Was Hoping For The 10 Most Beautiful Men Issue, But I Will Take What I Get

Musings from Brian J. Noggle, as seen in 417 magazine.

Good Morning, John

Posted in Blogging on September 10th, 2010 by Brian

Slow day at work today, eh?

UPDATE: Is there anything sadder than a blog whose daily traffic is so low that the proprietor knows his visitors by their IP addresses? Yes, probably, but since they’re not happening to me, I am not sad about them.

A Real Stemwinder

Check out this magnus misogynus I have posted at 24thState.com.

I might not understand women, but I understand those who use statistics about women.

Thanks, Professor Jacobson

Professor William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection has named MfBJN his blog of the day.

No, seriously, I have proof:

MfBJN Is Your One Stop Tam Christmas Shopping Source

Posted in Blogging, Culture on August 10th, 2010 by Brian

In addition to the teddy bear trophy that she wants in the worst way, note that MfBJN has found one of those wookiee suits she always talks about and misspells:

Genuwine Wookiee

Apparently, the rumor on the Internet is that Adidas is actually going to make these.

She’s going to have some kind of Christmas this year.

Wherein Brian J. Begs For A Beatdown From Ravenwood

Posted in Blogging, Quizzes on July 30th, 2010 by Brian

What is this, 2004 and I’m doing quizzes I find on Ravenwood’s Universe?

You are 19% hippie.
 

You’re not in the lowest bracket of non-hippie-hood, but you’re close. I advise a field trip to a food co-op or a farmer’s market. Do a few interviews and take notes, because there will be a quiz next week to see if you’ve learned anything.

Are you a hippie?
Take More Quizzes

That’s far more hippie than Ravenwood, so he must best me in combat now.

Note On My Sudden Past Prolificacy

Posted in Blogging on July 29th, 2010 by Brian

I recently realized that when I set up the blog, it failed to import the first two months of the old Blogspot blog. In correcting it, I’ve re-imported the whole kit and kaboodle again, resulting in double posts for the years 2003-2009.

I’ll get around to fixing that soon. Most of you live in the present, though, and won’t see a difference.

Just Like Althouse!

Posted in Blogging on May 31st, 2010 by Brian

Here’s a picture of a wildflower that somehow dodge my lawnmower:

A Nogglestead wildflower

Open thread!

Just unlike Althouse, the open thread will be mostly empty if not completely empty.

Good Lord, He’s Still Around?

Posted in Blogging on May 13th, 2010 by Brian

Ravenwood is still running Ravenwood’s Universe?

He’s still got my wife’s picture rotating in his FemmeBlogger’s section, which brings back some awefully nice memories of that black dress.

I’ve added him back to my new blogroll as a daily read. Check him out.

Things You Won’t Find Here, Either

Posted in Blogging on April 17th, 2010 by Brian

Marko saith:

Just to be sure, I want to point out that there are absolutely no nude Playboy pictures of Ashley Dupre in this spot.

I just want to point out there are no Ashley Dupre Playboy images here.

Also, there are no:

  • Snooki naked pictures (I keep trying precision concuss my head with a tack hammer to dislodge the knowledge of what a Snooki is, but apparently I keep missing.)
  • John Edwards sex tapes
  • Jennifer Lopez nude
  • Brian J. Noggle nekkid
  • Kevin McGehee compromising pictures (not as long as he keeps paying the monthly “storage” fee.)

You will, however, find a photo of my wife’s legs which once made it up to number one on Google image search for wife legs.

Dana Loesch: Behind the Times

She quips:

Somewhere, Max Blumenthal is crying into his Zima.

Come on, Dana. Zima hasn’t been available domestically for a couple years. Let it go.
