Is that you, Bill?

I find it amazing how people can change when you lose track of them.
I was logged in to my MySpace account this morning searching for people from my high school whom I might have known. I happened upon a couple. Gary, who could never decide between drawing comics and writing The Great American Novel is […]

Exscuse me?

I have to get this written down before I get doing something else and it escapes me.
I occasionally like to go looking around at toys I’d like to have but probably won’t be able to afford anytime in this lifetime.
This morning I saw an ad for one of those GPS thingies that tells you where […]

CNN: Defendant trades murder plea for KFC, pizza

I was looking at CNN’s website this morning and when saw the headline listed above I had to check twice to make sure I read it right.
To sum up the story, located here, 33 year old Tremayne Durham of New York City ordered an $18,000 ice cream truck from an Oregon company and, when […]

They do that too?

Somewhere today I heard someone talking about going on “one of those Disney cruises” and I was like, “Huh? What? I thought Disney did movies. You sure you don’t mean that other company…the one with the Love Boat?”
Much to my surprise, though, somewhere off the coast of Florida there is a luxury cruise ship owned […]

In their dreams

Now that Daughter Number One is officially married, she and The Son-In-Law are really wanting their own place. There’s just not a whole lot of privacy when your “bed” is in someone else’s living room. To that end, a phone call was placed the other day in order to inquire about a 1-bedroom, 1-bath mobile […]

Don’t believe everything they tell Congress

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 can’t quote verbatim what was said and I don’t remember, at this point, who was on the congressional panel, other than that woman whose […]

The things people do to themselves…

I shouldn’t read random blogs. I sometimes run across the most disgusting concepts imaginable. You probably wish that I wouldn’t read random blogs, also, because of my uncontrollable need to share the unpleasant things I find.
Case in point: This is useful for someone in need of a liver cleanse, I suppose, but … EWW! Just […]

Do you know where YOUR family is?

While driving home today, some guy on the car radio was talking about some organization or another offering assistance to the victims of last month’s tornado. I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly what he was talking about because I was only half-listening. At least, until he used the phrase, “misplaced families and displaced businesses”.
Excuse me?
I […]

Oww! My eyes!

That weird guy next door showed up this morning wearing the most hideous outfit I’ve ever seen in my life. Seriously. It looked like his closet puked. A red plaid shirt, a blue and white striped jacket, this truly bizarre pair of slacks that had pictures of antique cars all over them, a pair of […]

That was weird

I had the strangest dream last night. My wife and I were lounging around in some really nice discount home theater seating that I happened to see online yesterday. We were watching the Super Bowl, of all things. The only time either of us has the least little interest in football is when it’s the […]
