Six figure dollar damage to a golf course. Golf carts burned and greens damaged and tee times cancelled.
I saw this in the news and instantly thought of Boomsday by Christopher Buckley. If you’ve read the 2007 novel, by the author of Thank You for Smoking, you might have thought the same thing.
I grabbed [...]
I still am amazed by how worked up people get over celebrity deaths…
No matter high of a pedestal we put them on (even if it is so high that they are immune to child molestation charges), they do eventually tumble back down to planet Earth plus six more feet. I know MJ was kind [...]
I was looking for a birthday card last night at the local box store and stumbled on a little treat… A sorry the economy hates you card.
I know they make cards for practically any occasion, but this one doesn’t quite make sense. Take a look at it for yourself.
I would have bought one [...]
ZOMG! Swine Flu! Quick, someone kill all the pigs before they kill us!
Vice President Biden said yesterday not to fly on commercial flights and that he wouldn’t ride the subway or go to school (he specifically mentions “classroom”). Avoid confined spaces, blah blah blah.
Oh, and speaking of class rooms… [...]
What is up with Akron, Ohio? More specifically, what is up with Tuesday nights at strip clubs in Akron Ohio? The last two Tuesdays have resulted in national news for Akron strip clubs.
On the 21st, a 52 year-old stripper was assaulted with a shoe. I can imagine that things probably get a [...]
Don’t sweat the SATs. Enjoy a combination number 7 and let your fortune cookie show you the way.
Seriously… What is up with fortune cookies? They never contain actual ‘fortunes’ or future predictions. Now they all just seem to be random phrases written in broken English. They are so terrible the [...]
Help!

Do you know where I can get a good deal on XBox 360 Pro?
Do I need the MS [...]
I just finished reading a rather interesting book I picked up at a library sale. It’s called “How to Produce a Small Newspaper: A Guide for Independent Journalists” and was written by the editors of the Harvard Press.
The first edition was written 30 some years ago. My copy is the second edition printed [...]
I’ve started a number of blogs and let them slowly die. This blog is one of them. I bought the domain in 2007, built a custom theme, posted six times and then tombstoned. There are a few projects that I want to get back to because I still think they are worthwhile. [...]
I’ve been driving too much lately. Have you ever noticed that when you drive long distances you kind of get in the zone?
Time seems to stop.
You are on autopilot.
Your mind runs faster than your car and in 40 different directions at once.
I’ve never been hypnotized, but I can under why it’s called highway hypnosis. [...]
