the doozie paper

"all the news that's print to fit."
Think globally, act locally.

...on the origin of "doozie"

the word, "doozy," comes from the Model J Duesenberg car of the 1920s. The topnotch, extremely luxurious car of the time, "deuse" became popular slang for anything really impressive. "Doozie" was also the name of a hamburger sold by Kenney's Restaurants in the 70's. If you know of other references to "doozie" I would be interested.




This is my onramp. I have maintained some kind of personal web page for some time and I realized that it's more like a newspaper than anything else, although it is certainly not like any other. But stick around, just maybe you can find something interesting.

To get an idea of what is here you can go to index.



Most of what is here is not very clever or creative. But there is some stuff that is more or less eclectic at least under features that I have pulled together.


This site best viewed with browsers that support Java script, not that I know a damn thing about java.

    the funnies

    cartoon of the day

    non sequitur
    def. - a conclusion that does not follow from the stated premise or premises [L.=it does not follow].

    I used to post a cartoon here, but I removed it for a couple of reasons. One, to make this page load faster, and two, because those damned sensitive artists sometimes don't like it if you use their stuff without permission. So you'll just have to follow the link, I promise it's worth the trip. Once there you will find the route to a story (a fable) in Wiley's stuff which takes aim at our friends, the attorneys.
