A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Yup, if not a groaner, fer sure an eye roller. Reminds me of the ad that were once found in the back of comics and magazines of a caricature of a guy that appeared Czech in origin. It was an ad to get you to try to re-draw it and send them money to get a mail order art course or some such apam when it was called a scam. I always referred to the guy as an overdrawn Czech :-)
Y'all are getting crazy. I used to hang around with a biker – real biker, not a acct exec with a Harley – named Dennis Maler. We called him the Bad Czech.

Your sense of humor made my hubby laugh, "That's pretty good."

A practical Czech is considered to be Praguematic.
