Muggo Shorts #5: The Chicken In The Egg

On February 13, 2019February 13, 2019 By Sam GapinskiIn Shorts, Silly2 Comments

My office phone rang 15 minutes before my next meeting. It was my wife and she sounded concerned. "I just started hard-boiling some eggs, and...is it possible that there could be a chick inside one of the eggs?" My brain can't begin to comprehend what she's trying to ask me. All I could muster was …

Dad Jokes

On February 5, 2019February 4, 2019 By Sam GapinskiIn Silly6 Comments

Why are dad jokes funny? Notice how I didn't ask if they were funny. That's not up for debate. Sure, they may not be funny to everyone, but they are certainly funny to someone, else we dads wouldn't keep telling them. I've been a father for over two and a half years (so, I'm just getting …

Why I’m Doing This – creekjumper07

On January 23, 2019January 23, 2019 By Sam GapinskiIn Serious, Silly2 Comments

About a year ago, a friend of mine asked why I wanted to start TheMuggo.com. I appreciated the question because it gave credence to the idea that this is more than just a personal blog where I air out all my feelings and opinions. I gave a quick response in the moment, but I felt …

Nine Years

On January 16, 2019January 16, 2019 By Sam GapinskiIn Serious6 Comments

January 12, 2010. I was mindlessly driving south on I-65 just north of the exit leading to Winimac, IN. Where ever the hell that is. No radio. No phone calls. Just driving on a sunny day in January. Given the time of year, the sun sat lower in the sky than it would in the …

Hey hey! Special edition post today. A dear friend of mine, a guy I've known for many many months, invited me on his podcast this morning. We both do this thing called F3 (click here for more info on that), and he does a podcast highlighting different guys in our group and the things they're …

Muggo Shorts #4: The Kids’ Toys

On January 8, 2019January 11, 2019 By Sam GapinskiIn Shorts, Silly1 Comment

I don't want to come across too harsh, but there's real evil in this world. I know you know that. But I was shocked to learn that the makers of kids' toys are some of the most evil. Like, a sinister and genuinely wicked kind of evil. I promise you, I can't possibly understate this …

The 5 o’clock News

On December 24, 2018December 24, 2018 By Sam GapinskiIn Serious1 Comment

It's Christmastime again. That phrase can mean many things to many people. For me, it's a wonderful thing and something I look forward to every year. I get excited about seeing family and old friends. After graduating college and getting married, my wife and I moved away from most of my family, so we don't …

The following is a story I helped write for a friend. In it, he shares of the most difficult thing he's faced in his lifetime. Two years ago, his son committed suicide. Dana wanted to write this story in hopes that it will reach someone who is hurting and needs help. I've been honored to …

Muggo Shorts #3: Rush Hour

Rush hour is the worst. But you wanna know what makes rush hour worse than it needs to be? It's one person. One evil person.

Dear kids,

On November 8, 2018November 8, 2018 By Sam GapinskiIn Serious3 Comments

You may have noticed there hasn't been a new story in a little while. That's because my precious daughter was born a couple weeks ago. Before that, I'd been busy working on a couple other stories, but I wasn't able to get them finished prior to the baby being born. There was a point late …
