My Cock is a Bomb

Today I went through security at Charlotte Douglas Airport as I have done hundreds of times before. Shoes off, nothing in my pockets, and cell phone in a separate bin. I put my feet on the little yellow marks on the machine, did the NFL touchdown pose and went through the world’s most expensive X Ray machine. I exit the creepy chamber, and look hopefully in the eyes of the TSA man. He averts my gaze and looks up from his spectacles and says while shaking his head, “I’m going to have to pat you down.”

I make the offsides penalty pose for the TSA man, and take a peek over my left shoulder to see what might be causing TSA’s concerns. To my shock, there is big yellow square over my crotch. Unbelievable! TSA thinks my cock is a bomb.

TSA Man wants me to think this is a potentially explosive situation and I was working hard to keep a straight face. Here is the rub. TSA wants us to believe they are highly trained behavioral detectives that can separate innocent travelers from the freedom hating terrorists. Even if you don’t believe this, they need to feel that you do. Because if you don’t, then you, my friend, are a terrorist. So if you wrinkle your forehead, crack a smile, or God forbid, roll you eyes, then they will throw you in Cuba with a stick up your ass with Dick Cheney on a waterboard machine.

So back to the TSA Man and my cock. He looks at me, and says, “If you want, we can go to a more private room for the screening.” At this point, a million thoughts are going through my head, the goal is to NOT share any of these wayward thoughts, or he will think I am a terrorist. Here is what I was thinking.

TSA Man, I am a 65 year old heterosexual. With all the government spying and surveillance, you haven’t figured that out yet? And please, you are not skinny. Let’s just say it, you are fat, you are huffing and puffing just to get out of bed. So I have no interest in going into the private room, although I was a little curious about whether it was similar to the champagne room at the strip club.

I delicately respond still in the offsides pose , “Let’s do it here.” To which TSA Man replies, “I will only use the back of my hand during the screening.” So I think, and never said the following. Dude, are you worried that I will want a hand job or something? Because this is not happening. But what I really wanted to say was if you use the back of your hand, then you can only touch the back of my cock which, by the way, is not a bomb. But I didn’t say that, instead I said, “Go ahead”.

TSA Man begins his “screening”, and he was aggressive. At one point, he got the back of his hand between the ball sack and my inner thigh. If TSA Man was a dick, he could inflict some serious pain. He did not, but I am really glad that I didn’t tell him he was fat. Like I said, TSA Man did not nothing for me, nada. Plus I am married to a very beautiful Brazilian that is the mother of my children. My cock never moved not even a little bit. I do wonder what TSA Man would have done if it did. Would that have been the time to take it to the back room? Or would that make me a terrorist? Do terrorists get boners?

TSA Man says, “You are good to go.”

I leave to collect my things which had backed up the line significantly. One lady gave me the stink eye like it was me that clogged the line. It wasn’t me lady, it was my cock. I have to say that I was a little disappointed that TSA did not find that my cock was a bomb. How cool would that be? Can you imagine, you are in a bar where Victoria Secret models frequent, and you can legitimately say, “My cock is a bomb”. They would be buying me drinks. My cock is dangerous, or better yet, a weapon of mass destruction.

One side note: The TSA body scanners, do a front and rear image. On the front was the large yellow box over my cock, on the back was much smaller yellow box was over my asshole. I never would have thought that my asshole would be a threat to the country.

One thought on “My Cock is a Bomb

  1. Great story. Congrats on the anniversary, your beautiful family, still having both parents (that’s so fantastic!), and the sobriety. Speaking of which…I think the last time I saw you was New Year’s Eve going into 1978, someone’s parents’ living room–yours, maybe? In high school, I would say, “Say ‘oooo,’ Rob,” and you’d say, “Oooo.” For some reason, this was always funny, but I don’t remember the origin story. I do remember a story about a sound box, however, which I think involved you. Anyways, take care. Good blog. Write more.

    1. Hi Rosie,
      Thanks for the words of encouragement. My plan is to sell my company, stop working, start blogging, and writing music. Two things I enjoy. I don’t remember a sound box, but I guess I should say, “OOOO Rosie”.

Sobriety – 50 years of drinking comes to an end

April 4, 2024 was my wife, Solange’s, 39th birthday, and we had a little celebration at a local restaurant. This year, I had tapered my alcohol intake substantially. However, with any excuse, me and Solange’s friends began pouring elixirs down our throats. I had three craft beers, nothing extreme, but I began to feel the profound pull that booze had on my life.

I began drinking in early 70’s long before I turned 18, the age restriction at the time. That’s over 50 years of drinking. I grew up in Bowie Maryland, and my friend’s and I would imbibe Tuborg and Michelob in dark parking lots or the back seats of cars. I went to college and the first week, I turned 18. Now I could legally drink. In Ithaca NY, the local beer was Genesee Cream Ale and six packs went for $1 and a pitcher sometime on sale for $.50. I started experimenting with gin and tonics. I started at Texas Instruments in the early 80’s and Coor’s Light became my poison of choice. At one point, I challenged myself to drink every day and guess what. I nailed it. At this point, my thinking was that I could drink often and as much as I wanted, as long as I could maintain a successful career.

When I moved to South Dakota, Gateway was a hard drinking company, and I fit right in. I moved to Dublin Ireland to run’s Gateway’s European operations, and I fell in love with Guiness. Alcohol and the pub life were ingrained into the Irish life. I think Santa Claus was Irish.

I left Gateway and the frigid plains of South Dakota, single, a millionaire, and moved to South Carolina. The good news is that my drinking didn’t get worse despite ample free time and cash, but it sure as heck didn’t get much better. I did write some pretty cool songs in my nightly sloshy state.

Then I moved to Brazil where I finally married my beautiful wife, Solange. She is not much of a drinker (was that a sign?), but I continued boozing regularly. In fact, I moved to wine and bourbon. I was in the big leagues.

Throughout all of this, I have had a fantastic life, and accomplished many common measures of success so the drinking couldn’t have been a hindrance. At least, that is the way I rationalized. In the meantime, as I aged, some of my friends (drinking buddies) began falling. Dougie, a dear friend in Rio de Janeiro, passed in his apartment with five empty bottles of wine by his bed. Then it was national news when Mike Hammond (Hammer), passed away as another victim of alcohol abuse.

Was I an alcoholic? Of course not. Or so I would say. I could quit any time, which I honestly believed. Until I tried. I could quit at will, but as soon as their was any excuse, I was back on the train. Until my wife’s fateful 39th birthday party, and then I made the commitment to just stop.

I have not suffered any withdrawal symptoms, but this is not easy, alcohol is everywhere and 100% ingrained in my American culture. God only knows how much time I have wasted being drunk / unconscious, inebriated, but suddenly, I have a lot of free time on my hands. I have decided to go to the gym.

And maybe, just maybe, I will start blogging again. Like this one here.

  1. Congratulations on your sobriety. I have to admit in the years I knew you at Gateway I never knew that you were a heavy drinker. It never showed to me, but then I had given up drinking back in 1990 after I married my Beautiful wife and we both just stopped. Too expensive for us.

    Anyway, I’m proud of you man! I didn’t go to the bars with everyone else, just tried to work as much overtime as I could to make ends meet and then when I got salaried, the working overtime was so engrained that I just couldn’t stop, even from home. That is just about as bad as being an alcoholic or drug user I think.

    I know we never worked together directly, but I do remember working with you.

    Have a great one!

    1. Hi Jon, Thanks for stopping by. Gateway was a hard drinking company but I guess me and Hammer were two of the larger abusers. I thought, at the time, that I am productive and never miss any work, so I continued boozing for decades. What I realize now, is that the bar was set too low. Now that I have stopped drinking, I see the world much clearer, and I am dehydrated less.

My Beautiful Wife

[evp_embed_video url=”/video/Solange-Diga-Sim.mp4″ width=”640″ poster=”/video/solange.jpg” ratio=”0.536″ logo=”none” ]

This year, Solange and I are married 17 years. It has been an incredible ride and I am so proud of my wife that is so beautiful inside and out. I found some photos Solange took a few years ago on an old SD chip. I started experimenting with Davinci Resolve which is an incredibly powerful free video editor and this is the result. For the soundtrack, I chose the song “Diga Sim” by Raça Negra. The name translates to “Say Yes”, and it is a sentimental song for me. When we were dating, Solange and I went on a cruise from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she played this CD every day. I am so happy that she said YES.

  1. Great. Happy anniversary. Now…STOP the stupid commercials. They are annoying and LOUD. And just because you have a “band” doesn’t mean you should use it to advertise this product. Good GAWD get over yourself. Have a professional create your ads. YOU are not qualified.

    1. Hi Cathie,
      Thanks for reaching out and providing feedback. By this time, the commercial should be off the air, although we have also received a lot of feedback so you can expect to see more of that commercial in the future.

We are not them

I am proud that PC Matic was one of the eighteen companies selected for the NIST Zero Trust Center of Excellence. This shows how PC Matic stacks up with the eighteen.

  1. Rob, do you have a digital out of home planning and buying agency? The ominous music of your current tv spot caused me to turn towards the tv to see visual of word content that is just as compelling. Buy American!

    I want to win you as a client. My ad agency is small and nimble and female owned. It is our joy to deliver and exceed for those we work with and for! We need to air this spot on a few digital place based networks that also offer full sight, sound and motion. You need to trust me on this. Thanks for your time!
