Mister Thistle

I'll be unleashing my stockpile of grumbles in a blog every day. Or whenever the hell I'm in the mood. I call my grumbles A GAGGLE OF GROUSES -- a cantankerous collection of grouchy observations. And now let's cut the crap and get right into the stuff that makes me want to punch a puppy.

About Me

Mister Thistle: In a writing contest attracting 19,000 entries, Milt Lowe won a major award in the Personal Essay category from Writer's Digest. It did not go to his head. He is still modest and pleasant, but can at times exhibit a cranky streak. He was a copywriter at some of the world's biggest ad agencies and managed to win a ton of useless awards. There were Gold Awards, Gold and Silver Lions from the Cannes Film Festival, One Show Awards, Andy Awards, and a several more awards he can't recall. Milt published a book called, Men Still Think With Their Clubs, a distillation of male and female relationships set in the cavemen days. It's written in diary form so it can be seen through the eyes of one woman, the wise and horny Ooba. Milt's conclusion was that men are still making the same mistakes with women they made a million years ago. If interested, the book is available at Amazon. I think we're done here.
