After nearly 3 years in hiding it was time to come back.  It only took me a month to figure out how to reclaim my blog and get it up and running again.  I am contemplating some new ideas and where to take this website.  I feel the need to keep blogging and get my ideas out there.  So many people know me from this site that it may be hard to get my real true thoughts and ideas out there like I

I am deleting two of my blogs...."Fletch's Photo Blog" and "100 Things About Me" blog. If you are interested in these two things, then read the entire blog and you can figure it out more than likely. I never updated these things and they were just hanging out there doing nothing.Now that blogger lets you upload photos directly I will be going that route more often.

Today I decided that I should start updating the blog since I have gone almost 6 months without a post. Several of my readers have been asking what has happened to it and if I was ever going to post again.I originally thought that I was going to let it fade off into cyberspace, but I have decided to let it go through a metamorphisis instead. Lots of things have happened since March of this year

Here is a website that is kinda stupid yet still makes me laugh.Who would buy ThatYou gotta check this out. It is a wevsite that lists junk that people have for sale on ebay. I was checking it the other day and I saw 3 frogs in a menois de trois (not sure how to spell it) that some goofy red neck taxidermist did. The best part was that it actually sold. Some retard was excited to get this in

There are some new changes brewing here at the Fletcher Chronicles.I am sorry that I have been so busy that I haven't been able to update for several weeks, but that is just what happens sometimes.One thing that has happened is The Fletcher Chronicles is now off of the work system. It is completely free and clear of any work related systems and has its own dedicated system now. The other thing

Last night I stayed up pretty late, ok really late. I have been playing poker on-line in with "FREE" chips. No money involved just fake poker chips and my pride. You have heard me lament on and on about how much fun it is and all that stuff. Well here is the deal, last night I found the tournament section of the site. I used to think that you could only play one of the large tournaments with

Well, it is official the NHL season is over. Most Americans could care less about the wipe out of a season, but the Canuck Nation is in deep mourning today. I would hate to see what would happen to Gary Bettman if he was loose in a dark alley in Canadia tonight. The sad thing is that the game has never caught on in the markets that have NHL teams like Nashville, Phoenix and Dallas. Sure it is

I have been playing poker on line now for a few weeks. If you haven't ventured over there, shame on you. Click here to go there.There is a little bit of stuff to download and then you are ready. They have got a cool search feature to find players, notes to keep on people you play and a chat feature to talk to those that are taking your money.I think it is hilarious the funny names people come

In case you haven't heard Jose Canseco, the money grubbing weasel that he is, has released a new book that is supposedly a tell all book about steroid users that he knew while in the game. Jose has convinced himself that the game was out to get him for bringing steroids to the game.

I know that I haven't posted in a while and people are wondering what it is I have been doing with all of this spare time. Well, I have converted my Blogging time into actual work time. Come on you can't really believe that can you? No, that isn't true at all. I have been spending my evenings playing poker on-line at Poker Stars.

Here is what is making me mad today. The SuperBowl and if TO is going to play or not. Who frickin' cares? I don't care if he plays or not. Dude has a bum ankle how much of a difference could he actually make. Secondly if you are TO why would you want to play? Just to say you did play in the game? What if you messed yourself up bad, then next thing you know you are pumping gas for a living.

It is official I am listing the Beemer for sale. No need to worry there isn't a big line of people out front trying to buy it right now. I won't be trading it either. I got a buddy whose family owns the Nissan Dealership and I had to leave laughing after their offer. I can't beleive they can do that with a straight face, craziness.

I was reading one of my favorite websites today (www.ilovebacon.com)(and yes I am too lazy to make that a link for you. Type it in to your browser or copy & paste if you are as lazy as me). Anyhow, there is a list of all these odd things for sale on ebay. I laughed myself silly until I almost crapped my pants. I actually think I needed to go before I started laughing but can't be sure.

The question here is during the Orange Bowl who was worse, OU Sooners or Ashley Simpson. I am going to pick Ashley. The difference is that OU actually has talent and can play some football. Poor Ashley sounded like a dying cat! It was horrible, even I was booing in my living room! I think Mr. Simpson would be wise to take a note and not let Ashely out in public to sing again. Stick to the

Here is another one of my favorite jokes. I just have a hard time remembering the set up. Thanks to www.ilovebacon.com for publishing it again. A man walks into a bar with a paper bag. He sits down and places the bag on the counter. The bartender walks up and asks what's in the bag. The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, about one foot high and sets him on the counter. He

Ok here is one of my favorite jokes. A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his round trip ticket -- If he could just get to the airport he could get himself home. So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the

Everyone has a favorite movie and loves to quote lines from that movie...the problem is that not everyone knows what you are talking about. Someone pulled one on me the other day. I thought I knew all the funny quotable lines from movies, but I didn't know this one. Now I am going to have to go back and ask this person what the movie was, because I remember that I haven't seen it and what the

I ususally don't participate in the resolution thing, however this year I needed to stop a really bad habit. I gave up dipping. Not to impress anyone, but it just seemed like a good idea, plus the tax was going up again. Now, I am not enuff of an activist to stop something because it would cost more or because of payining taxes, I just did it because. So now I am a little cranky. Plus I have

Today it has been a bit of movie mania for me. I watche 'Napoleon Dynamite' earlier and found it to be weird, but very funny. If you haven't seen it go see it. I also saw "Meet the Fockers" tonite. This was the funnies movie have seen in a while. Do yourself a favor and watch the first movie, 'Meet the Parents' and then go pay your $7 to get Fockerized with Dustin Hoffman and Barbara

I am still actively looking for a motorcycle. Yes she already has a name she just needs to be located. Financing has been secured, except I am waiting on one more piece of this to fall into place. Not a big deal and should happen soon. Now seems to be a good a time as any to buy one. There are some 2004 models left and some of the '05s have hit the showrooms. I am not sure what I am looking

Here is the question: There is a line from a RUN-DMC rap song from the 80's. The question is which one of the two lines is/are correct. 1. "Mary, Mary, WHO you buggin'...." 2. "Mary, Mary WHY you buggin'....." This came up after saying Merry Christmas to so many 'tards as I went to the mall yesterday. Merry Christmas and Have a Safe New Year.

Let me tell you about this horrible excuse for a trip back to Oklahoma from Tennessee. You may need to refer to an atlas if this doesn't make any sense. I will try to keep this short and only hit the high points of the story. We left from Chattanooga on our way back to Oklahoma, the trip should normally take about 10 to 12 hours if we drive non-stop which was our plan this time. It started

We have been here in TN for a few days now. Today was the first venture to the big giant scary mall. One thing I have noticed about malls, if you are ever feeling bad about yourself go watch the people in the mall. Some of these people are complete 'tards. That is my new word now, 'tards. I will not waste my breath saying Retards, 'tards is good enuff for me at this point. I am convinced

I am constantly amazed at how many people go to college and even graduate thinking that just having a piece of paper on the wall will make all the differnce in the pocketbook. I have met tons of people throughout my life that prove to me that it is just a piece of paper on thew wall. Then I meet the people that have the paper and think that we all owe them something.

I have spent most of my life wishing that I was a rock star. I would love to play the guitar or mostly the drums. I don't want to be the singer, but chicks do dig the singer alot more and I would consider it. I have also spent some time thinking of what I would name my band. Here are some stupid ones that I have thought of. I hope these are not real names and if you pick one and become

I have nothing really to write about today. I thought maybe I would expand on how you know that you might be called Richard Cranium or even worse. This seemed like a good idea until I drew a nice fat case of Writers Block!!! I know some of you know me and know that I have dedicated (spent) most of my life dealing with the public.

I am sure that you know who Richard Cranium is, this is his preferred public name. I have played golf with him, played in a foursome behind him, been in line behind him, sat in front of him at meetings, been to meetings that he hosted and have even worked for him. Richard Cranium is better known by his slang name DICK H$#D! We all know them and we have all taken our shots at yelling at him and

How come is it women always run in packs of at least three? I am mainly referring to single women, married women usually seem to cluster in groups of 2, 4 and other even numbers. Married women seem comfortable even with just one other married woman. However single women need a group of some odd number. It seems to be a weird numbers game that the singles play.

Yesterday Barry Bonds testified in front of a Grand Jury about his use of steriods. Barry claims that he used some 'lotion' to rub on his body or something like that. He claimed it was clear, but was not aware that it was steriods. He didn't bother to mention anything about the shots he was taking, I assume he was.

Let's not get our panties in a twist about the derogatory statement of retards. I don't know if you know who Ron Artest is or not, but let's just say he is an idiot. Ron is a NBA player for the Indiana Pacers and must be decent since they will put up with his stupid antics and still pay him money. He has a history of on court fighting and saying some of the dumbest things of all time. Earlier

This past week was apparently some kind of crazy motivator for your buddy Fletch. I actually got my favorite Italian bike down and dusted it off for a few spins in the garage. The bike: 2003 Colnago Classic, Name: Alesandra, Colors: White, Blue and a touch of Yellow (Mapei Team Colors). She is a beauty and to her dismay I haven't ridden her nearly as much as I would have liked. I have been

Did you ever do something so stupid that you can't even explain it. Something so dumb that when you tried to explain what happened and that you didn't think it was stupid at the time, just makes the other person so mad they can't even see straight? This happened to me just the other day. Let's just say it was a cell phone disaster. The new fangled ringtones and graphics. All I have to say is

Today is the usual overcast, cold nasty winter weather that I completely hate. OK, it is only 40-something, but I still hate it, plus it is going to be overcast for the next week. Yippee! Nothing says depression like not seeing the sun for several days. I went to KC this weekend to see my neice, pretty cool. I forgot what it was like to be around a small new born. The Princess is now 3 1/2

For those that don't know me, I am a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I didn't start there and I sure didn't plan on ever attending there, it just became a way to solve a problem at the time. Plus it was the only place I figured I could graduate from in a reasonable amount of time. I started at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in Murfreesboro, TN. It is a

What an odd combination, Democrats and Therapists. I was listening to Sean Hannity yesterday and he was talking about how some of the Dem's are seeking professional help in dealing with the election loss. Now I am not talking about John Kerry or John Edwards, I am talking about average joe citizen. You have got to be kidding me. These people in Florida, California and the other Blue states

It is Friday and it is time for all of the cheap one-liners that I have heard lately. 1. What did one saggy boob say to the other saggy boob? A: If we don't get some support around here soon people are going to think we are nuts. 2. Man walks into the Psychiatrist's office wrapped in Saran Wrap.

Well the fat lady has finally sung on the Kerry-Edwards campaign. All I can say is thank goodness. I didn't care for either one of the bleeding heart liberals. I was scared of Kerry's International Policies and his Nationwide Healthcare. I know the health care sounds calous, but who is going to pay for it. Secondly the service will be second rate at best. Then people will complain that the '

This is straight off of the AP newswire this morning. Looks like Daschle is taking a page out of the Al Gore playbook. Why wait until the end of the election to cry foul, when you can take them to court earlier. We have a similair problem in OK in our Senate race.

Obviously I live in Oklahoma and I have had to put up with one of the worst smear campaigns that I have ever seen in my life. The race is for a US Senate seat that was vacated by Jim Inhoffe, who is retiring. The candidates Tom Coburn (R) and the always liberal, lying bastage that he is Brad Carson (D). Sure that isn't nice, but hey it is my blog and if you don't like it, get your own. Carson

Well the curse is finally over. It has been 86 years since they last won the World Series and last night they finished the clean sweep of the series. It is amazing they went from being down 0-3 in the ALCS and almost lost it all several times. Then they come back and win that series with 4 striaght wins and then smash the cards with 4 more straight wins. As my 3 year old would say, "Holy Cow"

I got my cell phone bill corrected from an amount due of $412.42 all the way down to $42.92.

You can probably see that I have put several jokes on the blog lately. This is mainly because I have had a rough past couple of days. I am not going to get into it, but I will say that it is one of the toughest times I have been through as of late. I am always amazed that when it rains it seems to pour. Everyone has their own set of problems and I am sure that my list is not near as important

Another Joke for the day. A man has just recently gotten married to a woman named Wendy. He decided to get her name tattooed on his penis, so that when it was soft all you could see were the letter W and Y. They take a honeymoon trip to Jamaica and when they land he decides he needs to go to the restroom. He looks over at the Jamaican next to him in and sees that he has a W Y on his penis.

So, this Koala Bear goes into a whore house. The lady up front asks if he would like a lady for the evening and he shakes his head yes. He heads upstairs and opens the door.

Today I was reminiscing about my high school days and I got to thinking would I do it again. My first answer was no I wouldn't, however after some reflective thinking I have changed my mind. I think I would do it again and I would change some of the things that I did. First off, I ran cross country and track in high school and junior high. I would like to think that I was pretty good. I ran

You see it all the time in the news, some person does something that they think will make them money and then they get arrested for it. I have a friend who is a Highway Patrolman in Kansas and he was telling me that most stolen cars are caught when the theif gets gas and drives off. Now it seems obvious to me that you should pay for the gas and then you wouldn't get caught. Duh!!! So I am

I have been watching this election debacle with half-hearted interest. Not that it isn't interesting, but because I can't beleive that Ketchup boy is still alive in this thing. There is alot of name calling, political bashing and overall hatred amongst the candidates and camps. For a brief moment you might think this was a heavy weight fight with Don King as the promoter.

Have you ever just been sitting there and all of a sudden your mind wanders back 15 to 20 years into the past. In a split second you feel as if you have never left that situation. You know everyone's name and you remember all of the things that were important to you and things you could have cared less about. Only to realize that now (20 years later) all of those things have completely swapped

The picture below was taken at the Memphis Zoo. I am sure if dude sees his photo on the web and then reads this post that he won't be too happy. I have to say that this Graylett (gray mullett) is one of the rares of all mullets. You would think by the time you got old enough to have gray hair that you would have out grown the desire to have a mullett. This guy is an exception to the rule.

That is the answer that I am giving right now. I have several people that have made me mad over the last few days. I would love to sit here and write of the injustices done by some of these dipsticks, but then it would be obvious who they are. Let me give you an example of one of them.

My Wife called me at work to tell me there is a snake on the back porch. She took this picture and showed it to me when I got home. There wasn't much I could have done even if I was there. I am no snake catcher or charmer. In fact, I don't even know what kind of snake it is. If you know drop a line. I am sure it is non-poisionous and probably a black racer or garter snake.

If I asked you to name one children's book writer you would more than likely come up with the name Judy Blume. Then you would be shocked to find out many of her books have been banned from school libraries. It is so bad that if you want to read them you have to bring a note from home just to check it out. This seems totally absurd if you asked me. She has written lots of book, but a few that

Listen up and listen good. If you live on a street where people claim to interact with big yellow birds, a wooly mammoth, and a friendly monster named ELMO, you need to move.

So I was at Oktoberfest all weekend, working not partying. I got to be the 'bank', so that made me in charge of all the money we took in, etc. That is alot of money when you really look it over.

I have finally become old enough to figure out that there are actually benefits to working for a large company. I spent several of my formative career years wearing a monkey suit working in the puzzle palace. The best part of the whole thing was the contacts that I made before I left the corp office. Now I am basically out in the wide open spaces and have little contact with the puzzle palace,

I don't usually have wild escapades to be discussing in this particular forum, but this week in KC proved to be worth mentioning. I am only going to do a short post now until I can gather all of my thoughts. A new motto was learned while I was at a new place in KC. The place is very good and I reccomend it to you. It is called 'Johnny Dare's'. It rocks, the waitresses dress in little school

Today I have to go to Kansas City for a business meeting and won't be home until Wednesday. I am sure that by Wednesday I tired, broke and a little hungover (I wish I was that wild). This trip will be the exact opposite of fear and loathing in Las Vegas. This trip will be referred to as "Boring and More Boring in KC". Some meeting about new corporate laws and junk like that.

Last night I went and bought two bottles of water. They were Propel flavored water to be exact. I also bought a Reece's peanut butter cup as well. The total cost was a little more than $4. I find this to be outrageous. I then remebered an e-mail that I rec'd a few weeks ago that talked about the cost of everyday things we buy. This email had converted the price of that to the gallon cost to

I was in Memphis this weekend to meet my parents. What a great weekend, very relaxing. Princess Trout was on cloud 9. She got to hang out with her Nana and Papa for 3 days. They rode the glass elevators up and down so many times that I was tired just watching them. We made a big excursion to the Memphis Zoo. I got several good photos of animals and mullets at the zoo. The most amazing

So here is what happened to Mr. Fletch today. First I will have to give you some background on how the visit to our local dealership took place today. Back in August I drove over to see a friend of mine in Ft. Smith, AR. It was on a Saturday and Princess Trout was with me. My friend owns and manages the Honda Motorcycle Dealership there in Ft. Smith. I needed to buy a lawn mower and he had

I have been very busy as of late. I mentioned that I had a meeting out of town last week. Well, I made it to St. Louis and back and maybe later I can post all the crazy things that happened while I was there. I forgot what day I returned like Thursday and I have been meaning to update the blog since then, but have been really busy. Some other big things have happened since then. Today was

This weekend was pretty cool. I had a good time hanging around the house and not doing much of anything. We had a wedding Sat. night in Tulsa at a pretty swank place. The best part of the whole thing a 13 minute ceremony. You gotta love that! I mean really it is all about....do you take her, do you take him...then C-YA!!!! You're outta here. I haven't been to many weddings as of late,

Since I made a list of things I hate, I thought I should make a list of things I like. This way you won't think that I hate everything and everybody. So here it goes. -Coffee in the Morning. Gotta have it, the stronger the better. If I can find some glazed donuts that makes it even better. -I like Circuit City, Radio Shack and Best Buy. It is awesome just to walk through and look at all

I am in a pretty good mood today so what better way to liven it up by listing things that I hate about other people. I mean when I see these things they don't make me totally raging mad, I just sit back and think, dude are you a total moron. Tell me that you are having a bad day and that you aren't sharing a brain with someone. So here it goes. -Slow drivers in the left lane -Stupid people

I am sure that you have heard the dilema that Paul Ham is in, Unless you live under a rock or refuse to watch NBC's poor coverage of the Olympics. I have got to admit I have seen better coverage of the Olympics. This time is horrible, unless their is an American in the race we don't get to see it. Besides that how much drama can you build into an event that there really isn't that much drama.

I have been watching the Olympics pretty regularly this time around. I always watch for athletes from other countries that train in the US, such as those on college scholarships. It is a great deal for the athlete, free school, good competition, great coaches (most of the time) and state of the art facilities. Most major universities have nicer facilities than where they train in their home

How come is it that our Olympians manage to look like morons at the Olympics? How come every Olympics we go through the same thing with our athletes? We suffered through our Hockey team destroying hotels and dorms a few Winter Olympics ago. They were a total disgrace to the entire country. Then it seems like every Summer Olympics we go through the same thing with our Sprinters in Track and

I will still be posting photos to this website as they apply, but more photos can be seen at the new blog. There is a link on the right hand side or just book mark the link below.

Let me give you some background. I grew up in Chattanooga, TN, where I went to elementary thru High School. I later went to Middle Tennessee State, Univ. of Kentucky and graduated from UT-Chattanooga. So I feel like I have some experience with the bigger city environment. In fact so much so that I have had a hard time adjusting to a town of 35,000 people. I don't know everyone here, but I

I decided I should Overhaul the blog this week. This has become a time consuming project. We now have a new look. All the links are here and there is also a section of recent posts. This way you can catch up on all the latest funny things that I have written. Plus now you can see my picture everytime pull up the website. I will have an in-depth post later in the day.

No I am not the energizer bunny. On Tuesday, August 17th Mrs. Trout and I celbrated 8 years of holy matrimony. Who would have thunk that Fletch would have the ability to actually live with someone that long and not cause them to drive their car off a cliff. To say that I am difficult to live with would be a minor understatement. You know she has to be a special woman to stay with me this long

I feel like I am ten years old today. I have managed to contract pink eye in my right eye. On Sunday it freaked my wife out and a few of my friends. It was red and gnarly. I could see fine, but scared the hell out of every one that looked directly at it. So I am now wearing glasses. The funny thing is that I couldn't see out of them when I first got them because they were too strong. Now

Today I don't really have much to say. Nothing to rant about or rave about for that matter. So instead of me trying to come up with something clever to say, I thought I would post one of my favorite jokes. This isn't my absolute favorite, but it totally cracks me up. Hopefully, tommorrow I will have something good for you. The day is still early and I am sure between now and tommorrow

Today's lesson is a very important topic. It all took place about a month ago. I was driving to my brother-in-law's house in KC. We had eaten lunch but I was still starving and had only driven 45 minutes from my house, which in a 6 hour drive ain't that far. So I pull into a Sonic in some small hillbilly town. I order the new Chicken Snack pack thing and I eat it. I am then thinking you

Today continues a series that I have begun dealing with work terms that you either don't know or needed more clarification. We all can pinpoint a brown-noser in every organization. Some people have made it their method of advancement. I have seen a few executives that have made some serious ground by the brown nose effect. Here is the definition of plexi-antomy: The supervisor goes to have

That is right, today is about the Peter Principle. This is a theory put forth by a Dr. Laurence Peter. I have found that some people like to credit this to a Mr. Peter Drucker, who I believe is a motiviational speaker. I have met a few that think Mr. Drucker from Green Acres came up with this. In case you don't know, here is how it works. In a heirarchial work environment (or any environment
