Thousands of people died from pneumonia in the U.S. last year. No one in the U.S. died from eating a “mad cow steak”. A whole freaking mess of people died from pneumonia world wide last year. Less than 200, world wide, died from eating a “mad cow steak”. “Mad Cow” could become a really big problem if left unchecked. Being infected by a “mad cow steak” is a frightening prospect, but…
Today I had a great Christmas. We had a bunch of folks over to celebrate with us, and it was cool. We don’t often have a bunch of people over to the house, so today was quite the event. I was never popular in school, I was never popular at work, and I am not popular in the neighborhood; so having a bunch of people in my house gives me the opportunity to pretend that I am. It didn’t hurt that…
This is it, the grand-daddy of them all. Christmas is the one that all other holidays look up to with envy. The smell of baking bread fills the air. Wrapping paper and Christmas lights color the living room. The metalic clang of oven racks colliding and the sound of Cheryl groaning in frustration spreads good cheer to all that can hear.
These are the memories that will sustain me through the rest…
The highs are in the 70’s, the lows are in the 50’s – it must be Christmas in Florida! I’m dreaming of an evergreen Christmas. In Florida, fall is when you trip on the stairs. Winter is the name of a meteorologist on the local news. Cold is what you get as a result of a viral infection.
And yet, it’s my favorite time of year. The only problem is that there are only two and a half days…
I sincerely apologize for bringing you this news so late. The freedom loving people of the world have united in damn near overwhelming anticipation; so without further ado, here’s the news. On Friday evening at approximately 6:21 p.m. EST there was a McDonald’s cheeseburger in my hand as I gingerly eased the coupe past 600 miles. What does a McDonald’s cheeseburger have to do with this…
Have you ever noticed the sound that two cars make when they come together in an unconventional manner? Have you heard the sound that a driver makes when her new car gets together with another in an unconventional manner?
Have you ever taken a turn and had the back end of your car move out from underneath you unexpectedly? Have you done this after it just starts raining? After regaining control of…
How much would you expect to pay for the “Orange Rubber Watch, Large”? If you are interested in large, orange, rubber watches, you may be interested to know that you can get one for $595 (not including the appropriate taxes and shipping fees) from NeimanMarcus.com.
If only I had known large, orange, rubber watches were going to be such a big thing! Damn! Another opportunity for the big time…
The Bucs made a big mistake. No, I’m not talking about the KJ affair. No, I’m not referring to the decision to play it safe in the last three minutes against the Colts. And no, I’m not talking about any of the decisions regarding special teams this year (although maybe I should). Instead, I’m talking about a guy named McKay. You know, the guy that now works for Atlanta?
There are several…
Tomorrow marks an anniversary, one that most of you are familiar with by now… 100 years since the Wright brothers first flew. I was watching a documentary on the History Channel last night. In it, they claimed that it was six years before anyone other than the Wright brothers engaged in “heavier than air, self sustained flight”, following that historic day in 1903. Furthermore, when others…
I’ve been riding my bike to work for about two weeks now. Most trips back and forth to work have been episode free. It’s one of the primary reasons why I’ve had so little to write about lately. The daily commute has been a treasure trove of material, and when that well runs dry what’s left? Well wait no more. Another drive time anecdote is coming your way!
It was a cool, crisp, December…
