Welcome to The Franklin Chronicles, where my unending search for the profound in the mundane usually takes a sharp left into ridiculousness. Expect stories, rants, random musings, and whatever else I can cook up — all served with a side of humor and a sprinkle of “what the hell just happened?” Kick off your shoes (but keep your socks on — we ain’t that close) and settle in. If you hear something you like, leave a comment and let me know.

    Hey guys, sorry I’ve been MIA for so long. LongStoryShort-2020 tried to kill me! (But that’s a whole other story.) But it’s 2021 now—(clearly) anything is possible! I’m gonna try something different for the new year. Introducing, Franklin’s very first Bedtime Story for Grown-ass Folks. This first episode is called, Pluto: The Racist Planet. You’re gonna love it!… Well, approximately 51.3% of you will.

    Bob & Tim & The Empire

    On this, the opening week of the newest Star Wars movie, Franklin tells the little-known, Star Wars Episode 1.25 (or 3.25 depending on when you start counting). It's the story of Bob and Tim; two white-collar employees of The Empire. Also, just like The Empire, The Dreaded Tony Allen strikes back. (Because he’s THE WORST!)
