So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Well, it seems that this site has run its course. I put off starting my own blog for years because I never saw the point. Now I think that opinion has caught up with me finally.
I am actively browsing around for a good site to contribute to. It’s tough to find one that isn’t completely [...]

From hell’s heart I stab at thee

Whales are awesome, and a whale themed post shall now ensue!
If you have never encountered a whale in it’s natural environment (read: outside seaworld) then you really should. If you ever want to get out on the water around Vancouver Island in a non-touristy kind of way and really learn about whales, then I recommend [...]

How I defeated my own tire! And other nail biting tales of cycling!

First, let’s get the history out of the way. My bike has a cursed, nay haunted, front tire. If I so much as look the other way, it will go flat faster than a New Jersey prom queen’s hair in a wet t-shirt contest. It has done this reliably for years even with new tubes [...]

Definition of “in your face you bastard!”

I love it. The Atlanta Humane Society is now accepting Michael Vick t-shirts and jerseys. They’ll be used as bedding, chew toys and rags for cleaning up dog shit.
Also,
On Tuesday night, the St. Paul Saints minor league team handed out 1,500 Vick chew toys to fans. It’s the team’s mascot — a pig — dressed [...]

Holy crap, I am the worst updater. Ever!

Seriously, I apologize for slacking so very much these past 2 weeks. I’m back in a normal routine and will update promptly. I’m wondering if I shouldn’t mix it up a bit here and broaden my scope or something. Whatever. Here is a picture to tide you over while I get time to put something [...]

A montage for the Israeli girls

Just some interesting tidbits to get you through recess today.

Israeli women with assault rifles buying some ice cream makes for a surreal image. It’s tough to wrap my mind around the differences in that society or to imagine growing up there.
Don’t forget to buy your Harry Potter books from a Canadian retailer such as [...]

Pinkie needs a home!

This picture breaks my heart. This beautiful, sweet dog needs a home, pass it along! Read her full bio at the original post on Shakesville here, but suffice to say she is a sweet, loving 12 year old basset that needs somewhere to call home. She is in Alabama currently, but a little road trip [...]

Dick.

101 uses for an empty cereal box?

The other day it became more difficult to ignore the amount of waste generated from one delicious box of cereal. In my little mind I can keep eating cereal if I can somehow decrease the amount of waste. So I thought we could brainstorm up a list of ideas. Some of them will be dumb, [...]

A montage for the kids

Nothing is coming to mind as worth writing a post about, but there are several interesting little things floating around. So I thought instead of no update I would toss together these links.

Gavin Newsom sets an example: Newsom has issued an executive order banning San Francisco city departments from buying bottled water, even for water [...]
