Password
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008We played the Password home game from 1963 with friends the other night. In the cartoon on the box, George is definitely drunk. I don't think you can do that anymore. Put it on the box, I mean.

NPR or The Onion?
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008I subscribe to podcasts and listen in the car or in bed at night. Two that I get regularly are "The Onion Radio News" (from the awesome people at The Onion) and "NPR: Story of the Day". What's scary is that there are way too many times when ...
Apparitions of Jesus
Thursday, March 13th, 2008Just for fun, my favorite apparition of Jesus story/image ever: Jesus image appears on dog anus. Want more?

Thursday, December 27th, 2007OK, new server (same old URL), new plugins, perhaps a slightly new look sometime soon. And a new pattern of posts I'm going to try. I've posted little to the main blog this past year, but much more to the "tidbits" lists -- both the "commented news links" you see ...
Kathy pwns Jeebus
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I already liked Kathy Griffin and her My Life on the D-list. And now, more reason to: Fox is censoring her Emmy acceptance speech for "hate speech". And what horrible thing did say? "...a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to ...
Half your age plus seven
Monday, September 10th, 2007The reliably good xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language refers today to the infamous "half your age plus seven" rule for dating: No dating anybody younger than that, or you're into creepy territory. I've said this one enough times that many people who know me think ...
I am an action hero
Friday, July 6th, 2007Thanks to P.D., I now have an action figure of myself. OK, maybe it was originally manufactured based on the character of "Tigerman" from "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (played by football player turned pro-wrestler turned actor H.B. Haggerty). But it's me now.
