The (Other) End of the Internet

Some may consider this Separated At Birth post to be a little unfair because only one of the young ladies pictured is a celebrity, but I figure that since I used my father in one of these posts, there shouldn’t be a problem using my daughter in this one. I mentioned to her that […]

My sister emailed me the following commentary that claims to be written by Jay Leno. A quick check at www.snopes.com shows that, while Jay Leno is responsible for the last sentence, everything before that was added by an unknown party sometime in 2005.
That’s a shame, really, because I wholeheartedly agree with this article and I […]

I was right … sort of.
Romeo and Juliet are, in fact, in the middle of Yet Another Fight. It is not, however, about going outside alone when the police said it was a Bad Idea®. This argument is because someone was online when an Ex-significant other popped up on an instant messenger and the offending […]

Somehow recently the conversation turned to strange food combinations. I think this was about the time I was watching Daughter Number Three put ketchup on her broccoli and cauliflower while making a macaroni and cheese sandwich. I was reminded of my father, who liked to open a can of split pea with ham soup and, […]

Last night ABC News showed a clip in which a Congressional panel was …erm… discussing … the oil price situation with the CEOs of the five largest oil companies.

I’m not going to reprint the whole list here. You can click the link above for the list.
“Fact” number one on their list says,

I mentioned a few days ago that EntreCard had recently put in a change that limited all their users to dropping 600 cards per I.P. address per day. Well, the next day they put in another change. This one is really confusing some people. The old system was simple. The price someone paid to advertise […]

I joined EntreCard about 3 weeks ago because I was told it was a great way to improve your site’s traffic.
The short version for how it works is this: you visit other sites belonging to other EntreCard members. You drop your virtual ‘Card’ on the widget displayed on their site. You earn 1 credit for […]

I happened upon this video at a blog called I DON’T GIVE A BLEEP.
I’ve never had more than one or two occasions to stay in a hotel room, but after watching this, you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ever do again, I’ll be bringing (and cleaning) MY OWN drinking glass. What these […]
