2015 Pop Culture Winners and Losers: Caitlyn, Donald, The Biebs and more!

Well, as 2015 wraps up let’s take a look back at the year in pop culture:

Caitlyn Jenner? Winner:Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Kardashian, left some things behind and won a trophy. Caitlyn won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY’s. The former Olympic gold medal winning decathlete also left his/her former gender behind andgot the hell out of the Kardashian family. She should have named her brief reality show One Flew Out of the Cuckoos Nest. If escaping the Kardashian’s i...

Merry Christmas To All…

I just want to say Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone who has stopped by The Phil Factor over the past year. Whether you quickly just click the like star occasionally or comment every time I thank you for making my day each and every time. I wish you and your family health and happiness today and in the coming year. (A special thank you to Gooby, my lifelong friend who is a character in my books, for his photoshop wizardry in creating the creepy picture above.)

Throwback Thursday! Was Jesus the First Chuck Norris?

Photo credit: my neighbors

(12/6/2014) See that picture above? Can you tell me with absolute certainty that’s not Chuck Norris on the right? I know my title says Jesus was the first Chuck Norris and I know that’s Joseph on the right, but you’ve got to think that the son grew up to look a little like his dad right?

I’ve been doing a little investigating, like in a Dan Brown novel, and I’ve come to the conclusion that that in one form or another humans have always...

The Monster is Back and I’ve Got No Blanket

I’m going to do something different. Typically my blog is all about the humor. Or at least what I hope others will find humorous. This idea/experiment might occasionally include humor but it’s going to be serious. I usually publish my posts to Facebook and a few other social media outlets. This once a week post will only be here on WordPress.

A little over twelve years ago, the morning after we had attended a Halloween party, she found it. A lump in her breast. Testing over the next two weeks...

In an effort to offset my Grinchiness from last weeks ‘Top Ten Reasons To Hate The Holidays” I present you with the opposite.

10. Ridiculous Holiday Light Displays:That’s not my house but I wish it was. I love people that take the decorating and lights waaaay too far. I wish we could do it all year long. If there’s a neighborhood that decorates all year long, let me know. I’ll move there.

9.Getting presents:Well duh! Free stuff that we didn’t know we needed or wanted? Yes plea...

Fun with Search Terms: I’m Still Horniest In The Land!

Sorry that picture is so big. That’s definitely not swaggy, but it relates to the first item on my list. This is my quarterly reminder to you of three things: 1) Whatever you put into a search engine, such as Google, will be read by someone somewhere, 2) For cripes sake, log out of your Google accountbeforedoing weird searches, and 3) There’s a whole lot of idiots out there. These are actual search terms that brought people to my blog.

Throwback Thursday! My Christmas Form Letter To You

(12/14/13) It’s that time of year again! The time for the year in review Christmas form letter. It’s always touching when our relatives treat us like customers. Typically these form letters take one of two directions. The first and most typical is the ‘What a wonderful year we had!’

“Dear ____________, 2013 was a wonderful year for my family. I started a new job six figure job, and my wife was promoted to president of her company. The kids are doing well. Johnny aced the S.A.T., didn’t miss...

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Reasons To Hate The Holidays?

You’re a mean one Mister Grinch. You really are a heel. You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mister Grinch. You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel.

Yup, that’s me; King of sarcasm and hater of all things jolly. I’m not saying that there aren’t things to love about the holidays. There are plenty, but c’mon everybody, if we’re truly being honest with ourselves, there are a lot of things to hate about the holidays. Here’s my top ten, and in the spirit of a gift that...

Old Age Is Always 15 Years Older Than I Am

The title quote is from Oliver Wendell Holmes. I think he was a writer or something. I don’t know. You look it up. I may not have time. I have a problem. I might be getting older, but I’m not sure. For only the second time in my life, my problem is my birthday. It’s coming up in eleven days. Normally I love birthdays because, you know, Yaaa me! I’ve never understood people who downplay birthdays. It’s a day all about you. What’s not to like? Free stuff and lots of attention.

Is the whole worl...

Throwback Thursday! The Gift That Keeps on Giving!

It’s the holidays! Time to agonize over whether or not you got your loved one the perfect gift. Guys, if you’re in a relationship, the right or wrong gift could make or break everything. No pressure. With that in mind, as a public service I’m re-running this classic Phil Factor from 2012. (If you want to read more classics, pick up my book Fifty Shades of Phil, available for only 99 cents as an e-book)

Well? How did you do? Did you get the right gift for your loved one for Christmas or Hannu...
